Nowadays, the development of the medical instrument industry makes rapid changes in clinical practice. Hybridization of latest technology is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Especially, the trend of the integration of three-channel hybrid technology in diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer has become increasingly obvious. This paper will focus on the technical advance of the three-channel multi- mirror robot and its application in the diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer.
Objective To analyze the risk factors for postoperative cognitive confusion in a surgical intensive care unit. Methods A total of 388 consecutive patients in Surgical Intensive Care Unit of General Hospital of PLA were retrospectively studied. We posed clinical questions according to the patients with older age and large dosage corticosteroid. Using “Postoperative cognitive confusion” and“Intensive Care” as key words, we searched for evidence from MEDLINE (1968-2004). Results We found 3.1% (10/388) of the patients developed postoperative cognitive confusion. Of the 10 postoperative cognitive confusion patients, 9 were over 65 years old. 6.6% (9/136) of the patients (≥ 65 years old) developed postoperative cognitive confusion. While 0.4%(1/252) of the patients (＜65 years old) developed postoperative cognitive confusion. Older age (≥ 65 years old) may induce more postoperative cognitive confusion (P＜0.05). While 7.0% (5/71) of the patients treated by large dose corticosteroids (≥1 000 mg) developed postoperative cognitive confusion. And 1.65% (5/317) of the patients received corticosteroid with large dosage (＜1 000 mg) developed postoperative cognitive confusion. Large dosage corticosteroid (≥1 000 mg) may induce more postoperative cognitive confusion (P＜0.05). Conclusion Older age (≥ 65 years old) and high dose corticosteroid (≥1 000 mg) may be the two main risk factors for postoperative cognitive confusion.
