Objective To study the feasibility, indication, technique of emergency operation and the perioperative management on critical congenital heart disease in infants. Methods From May 1998 to May 2003, 67 emergency operations of critical congenital heart disease were performed in infants . The age was 14d-32 months (mean , 11.8±8.9 months), the weight was 2.6-14.8 kg( mean, 8.4±3.0 kg). The diagnosis included ventricular septal defect in 39, tetralogy of Fallot in 13, complete atrioventricular septal defect in 5, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in 4, atrial septal defect with pulmonary valve stenosis in 3, D-transposition of the great arteries in 2, and postoperative pulmonary valve vegetation in 1. Corrective operation in 64 and palliative operation in 3 were done. Results The preoperative managing time was 0-9 d(mean , 3.7±2.6 d), the lasting time of intubation was 1-14d( mean, 3.8±3.2 d), and ICU staying time was 2-18 d (mean, 5.7±2.8 d). The operative mortality was 7.5% (5/67), the postoperative complications in other infants include 14 low cardiac output syndrome, 14 atelectasis, 8 lung infection, 2 worsened pulmonary hypertension, 1 pneumothorax , and 1 phrenic nerve paralysis. Following up 2-60 months with 1 case late death, the cardiac function of the others were class Ⅰ-Ⅱ/Ⅵ, the operative result was satisfactory. Conclusions The emergency operation on critical congenital heart disease in infants is safe, and can save most of their lives, the good result can be obtained from surgical treatment. Accurate choice of indications, and perioperative good nutritional and cardiorespiratory function support are important.
ObjectiveTo investigate the medical quality of rehabilitation departments in medical institutions at all levels in Shenzhen and analyze the problems, so as to promote the continuous improvement of rehabilitation care quality in this city.MethodsFrom September to November 2019, a field investigation was carried out in 53 rehabilitation departments in Shenzhen. Five dimensions were scored by experts, including professional capacity, rules and regulations, knowledge and skills, supervision and feedback, and hospital infection control. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to characterize the data, and one-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the difference among different level hospitals.ResultsThe average score of rehabilitation medical care quality in Shenzhen was 83.98±8.28. The average score of tertiary, secondary, and primary hospitals were 85.61±7.02, 84.54±7.83, and 77.55±10.60, respectively, and the difference among different level hospitals was statistically significant (P<0.05). According to the standard score, the highest score was in the dimension of supervision feedback (95.75±6.50), and the lowest score was in the dimension of knowledge and skills (77.27±14.64).ConclusionThe overall quality of rehabilitation care in Shenzhen needs to be improved, and the management and professional training systems need to be established.
