  • Clinical Application and Analysis of Pediatric Day Surgery

    ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of pediatric day surgery (PDS) program. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 148 pediatric surgeries between June 2012 and June 2013, including 31 for cryptorchidism, 53 for concealed penis, and 64 for hernia. According to the operation mode, these children were divided into PDS group and in-patient group. Analysis of the postoperative complications and hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses was carried out. ResultsThere was no statistical differences on success rate of operation, re-admission rate, postoperative fever, and postoperation nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P>0.05). But compared with the in-patient group, hospitalization expenses, medical cost, therapeutic treatment fee and hospital stay were significantly lower or shorter in the PDS group (P<0.05). ConclusionPDS is a safe and cost-effective program that reduces the average hospitalization days, reduces the per capita hospitalization cost, increases the turnover of beds, and benefits the child and the family.

  • Progress of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Paediatric Surgery

    With the development of surgical technology and the need of clinical, transesophageal echocardiography is more and more favored by clinicians. Although the transesophageal echocardiography has developed more than 20 years, yet it has not been widely used in operation at present in domestic. In addition, its application in surgery of children is more rare. It has been confirmed that intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography has good safety and wide range of application. We will summarize indications, complications, and the progress of the current technology from the scope of transesophageal echocardiography in pediatric surgery.

  • Practice and effect of the Handbook for the Training Nurses in the standardized training for nurses in pediatric surgery

    Objective To explore the application of the Handbook for the Training Nurses in the standardized training for nurses in pediatric surgery. Methods Twenty-four training nurses trained under the instruction of the Handbook for the Training Nurses in Department of Pediatric Surgery from July 2014 to December 2015 were included as the observation group. Their training effects were compared historically with those of twenty-four training nurses who were trained without the help of the handbook from January 2013 to June 2014 (the control group). Results After the completion of the half-year training, theoretical score of training nurses in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was significant (87.16±4.18 vs. 83.71±5.46; t=2.492, P=0.016). Meanwhile, the specialist practical skill examination of training nurses in the observation group, such as femoral vein blood collection, replacement of drainage bag and indwelling needle infusion in children, and emergency practical skill examination such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of simple respirator were higher than those in the control group; and the working performance scores of training nurses in the observation group, such as the ability to adapt to the environment, patient satisfaction, nursing document writing, work efficiency and morning questions were better than those in the control group; the differences were significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion The Handbook for the Training Nurses can help the training nurses to adjust their working environment, master the practical skills and nursing knowledge in pediatric surgery.

  • Comparison of health economics evaluation between day surgery and special in-hospital surgery mode for the treatment of cryptorchidism in children

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the health economics indexes of day surgery mode and traditional specialist hospitalization mode, and to provide reference for the selection of different hospitalization mode of inguinal-type cryptorchidism in children.MethodsThe patients with unilateral cryptorchidism under 5 years old between January 2017 and January 2018 in Chongqing Children’s Hospital were selected in this study. According to different inpatient surgery modes, the included children were divided into day surgery group (day group) and special in-hospital surgery group (specialty group). The general data of patients, treatment indicators, incidence of complications, postoperative testicular atrophy rate, recurrence, nosocomial infection, hospitalization time, hospitalization cost, satisfaction of patients, and other health effect indicators between the two operation modes were compared. The treatment effect indexes and cost-effect ratio of the two modes were statistically analyzed.ResultsA total of 198 children were included, including 83 in the day group and 115 in the specialty group. The patients in both groups underwent orchiopexy by small inguinal dermatoglyph and scrotal incision. There was no statistically significant difference in the affected side, source area, postoperative complications, or nosocomial infection between the two groups (P>0.05). The patients in the specialty group were older than those in the day group [(27.60±11.04) vs. (20.88±9.48) months old; t=4.586, P<0.001]; the bed occupancy time [(118.60±10.80) vs. (23.95±5.90) h; t=72.353, P<0.001] and operation time [(0.45±0.15) vs. (0.38±0.12) h; t=2.946, P=0.004] in the specialty group were longer than those in the day group. The difference was statistically significant in hospitalization expenses between the two groups (χ2=155.374, P<0.001); 92.8% of the children in the day group spent less than 5 000 yuan, while 95.7% of the children in the specialty group spent more than 5 000 yuan. The American Society of Anesthesiologists scores in the specialty group were higher than those in the day group (χ2=44.870, P<0.001). The treatment effect indexes in the day group and the specialty group were 0.99 and 1.01, respectively, and the cost-effect ratios were 3 850 and 6 657, respectively. The economic benefit of the day group was better.ConclusionsThe cost-effectiveness of day surgery is better than that of specialized inpatient surgery. Therefore, this model can be recommended for children who meet the indications of day surgery.
