Objective To observe the effect of quality control circle (QCC) management tools to improve the electronic medical record timely writing rate. Methods Between June 2014 and January 2015, we used QCC to manage electronic medical record timely writing rate. By determining the subjects, investigation of the status quo, factor analysis, and and formulation and implementation of strategies, we tried to improve the electronic medical record timely writing rate. Results After QCC implementation, electronic medical records untimely rate dropped from 39.6% to 13.8%, with surgical departments dropping from 45.6% to 15.2% and non-surgical departments from 33.6% to 12.4%. Target compliance rate reached 124.04%, of which the untimely rate of nursing records and the overtime rate of rescue records were both reduced to 0. Quality management methods, team cohesion, confidence, personal comprehensive ability and problem-solving ability all improved significantly. Conclusions The timeliness of electronic medical records management has its importance and urgency. We should make good use QCC management to ensure timely electronic medical records writing.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the timing of the long-term antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) therapy in patients with stroke related seizures. MethodsWe enrolled 90 Patients with post-stroke seizures who diagnosed in neurology and epilepsy specialist clinic of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital and followed up for at least 12 months from September 2014 to August 2016. The patients were divided into early-onset seizure group (occurring within 2 weeks of stroke) and late-onset seizure group (occurring after 2 weeks of stroke).The two groups were subdivided into treated and untreated group after the first seizure. ResultsThe patients were followed up for 12~96m (median 20m). 31 patients in ES group, 19 of which in treated group and 12 of which in untreated group. 59 patients in LS group, 36 of which in treated group and 23 of cases in untreated group. The recurrence rate of second seizures occurred in each group and the comparison between the subgroups in the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th mouth of follow-up as follows. 1 LS group compared with the group of ES, the recurrence rate of second seizures was high (25.81%~38.71% vs. 49.15%~69.49%), and there was statistical difference (P < 0.05). 2 The recurrence rate of ES in untreated group was lower than that in untreated LS group (16.77% 33.33% vs. 56.52% 73.91%), but only in 3m and 12m the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). 3 There was on statistically significant different in ES treated group compared to untreated group, LS treated group compared to untreated group, ES treated group compared to LS treated group (P > 0.05). Both in group of ES and LS, The ratio of seizure recurred patients at different time points during follow-up period was highest at the time of 3m, 3 6m followed, within six months respectively as high as 91.67% and 76.59%. ConclusionOnly one early-onset seizure after stroke can be suspended long-term AEDs treatment, once it recurred that indicates the need for treatment. However, the recurrence rate of late-onset seizure was higher than that of early-onset seizure and it should be given long term AEDs treatment after the first seizure.
Objective To explore the influence of different withdrawal time of trachea cannula on percutaneous dilational tracheostomy (PDT) in critically ill patients. Methods In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 185 critically ill patients experienced PDT, who had been admitted to the adult mixed ICU of Xiaolan Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2015 to July 2017. The patients were divided into an early PDT group (EPDT group) and a delayed PDT group (DPDT group) according to the timing of withdrawing trachea cannula. Operation information such as operation time, blood loss and the incidence of complications were collected and compared between the two groups. Results Between the EPDT group and the DPDT group, there were no obvious differences in operation time (minutes: 6.5±2.6 vs. 7.3±3.5), amount of blood loss (ml: 5.2±2.8 vs. 6.0±3.4) or conversion to traditional operation (1.9% vs. 2.4%) (all P>0.05). Compared with the EPDT group, the DPDT group patients experienced more fluctuation of intraoperative vital signs, used more dose of sedative and analgesic drugs, and experienced higher occurrence of aspiration (18.3%vs. 5.6%), balloon burst (13.4% vs. 2.9%), guide-wire placing difficulty (11.0% vs. 1.9%) and tracheostomy cannula placing difficulty (14.6% vs. 2.9%) (all P<0.05). There were no statistical significances in postoperative complications such as postoperative-hemorrhage, pneumothorax, pneumoderm, the posterior tracheal injury or incision infection between the two groups (allP<0.05). More patients acquired postoperative pulmonary infection in the DPDT group than the EDPD group (12.2%vs. 5.8%, P>0.05), and there was no statistical significances in mechanical ventilation time between the two groups (days: 5.5±3.0vs. 6.0±2.5, P>0.05). Conclusions The operation and complications of PDT in critically ill patients are influenced by the timing of withdrawing trachea cannula. The standard procedure of withdrawing trachea cannula preoperatively may offer better clinical operability and lower technical risk.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) presents as a sharp decline in renal function caused by a variety of reasons. It is a severe clinical challenge affecting multiple organs and multiple systems, with high mortality. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) plays an important role in the treatment of AKI. Limited by the lack of evidence, the timing of CRRT for AKI remains ambiguous. This article reviews the definition and grading of AKI, the indication and the timing of initiation/termination of CRRT for AKI .
ObjectiveTo overview the systematic reviews on the timing of different surgical interventions for severe multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched for systematic reviews about the timing of different surgical interventions for severe multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients from inception to December, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, evaluated the reporting and methodological qualities using the PRISMA checklist and the AMSTAR tool. After re-extraction of individual RCT data from included systematic reviews, meta-analysis was performed by Stata10.0 software.ResultsA total of 11 systematic reviews were included. The average methodological quality score was 8.13 in AMSTAR , the reporting quality score was from 19.5 to 25 in PRISMA. Re-performed meta-analysis showed that, the total success rate of operation was 93.3% (95%CI 92.9 to 93.8), the failure rate was 3.7% (95%CI 3.3 to 4.0), the mortality rate was 2.0% (95%CI 1.8 to 2.2), and the loss rate was 1.0% (95%CI 0.8 to 1.2). The cure rates of different surgical methods were all over 80%, among which single lobectomy (98.47%) and compound lobectomy (98.94%) had the higher cure rates than others. For the time of different surgical interventions, cure rate could be improved obviously in patients receiving surgery treatment after 1 months (OR=1.58, 95%CI 1.29 to 1.94, P=0.000 12), 1-8months (OR=1.66, 95%CI 1.30 to 2.12, P=0.000 05) and 9-24 months (OR=1.48, 95%CI 1.15 to 1.90, P=0.002) of anti-tuberculosis therapy compared with 0 month.There were significant differences between two groups.ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that operation is an effective way for severe multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Operative opportunity should be selected after 1-24 months of anti-tuberculosis drug treatment when the operation time depending on whether the tuberculosis has turned negative or not. Operative mode should be decided by the location and the scope of the lesion, which ensures the maximum excision of lesions and retention of lung function.
Hip fracture in the elderly is a disease with a high mortality rate and a high complication rate. Its main treatment method is surgery. The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery runs through the perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fracture. Elderly patients with hip fracture should be scheduled for surgery as soon as possible after admission to enhance postoperative functional recovery. Preoperative ambulation and postoperative exercise can reduce postoperative complications and mortality, shorten the length of hospital stay, and promote functional recovery.
ObjectiveTo analyze the prognostic factors of vision of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody positive associated optic neuritis (ON) after methylprednisolone pulse therapy. MethodsA clinical observational study. A total of 32 patients (47 eyes) with MOG antibody positive ON were observed and followed up in the ophthalmology department of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University and Beijing Puren Hospital from March 2019 to January 2022. Clinical data including the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and orbital magnetic resonance imaging were recorded. The BCVA was examined by Snellen visual acuity chart, which was finally converted into the logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. There were 22 case (38 eyes) with complete image data. All patients were treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) for 3-5 days. According to the intervention time (from onset to glucocorticoid treatment), the patients were divided into three groups: ＜7 d group, 7-14 d and ＞14 d group, with 16, 13, 11 eyes, respectively. The median follow-up time was 28 months. After 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months treatment, the same equipment and methods were used for relevant examinations to observe the changes of visual acuity and the factors influencing the prognosis of visual acuity after IVMP treatment. Logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyze the prognostic correlation factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the critical cut-off point of intervention timing. ResultsAmong the patients, 16 were male and 16 were female. The median onset age was 26 years. The onset duration time was 5-60 days. There were 18 cases (56.3%, 18/32) with abnormal serum immune indexes. The initial symptom was decreased vision with unilateral or bilateral ON. Seventeen (53.1%, 17/32) cases had unilateral ON and 15 (46.9%, 15/32) cases with bilateral ON. Thirty-six eyes (76.6%, 36/47) got optic disc edema, 37 eyes (78.7%, 37/47) accompanied by pain of ocular movement. The nadir logMAR BCVA was mean 1.69±0.13. Long T2WI signals with segmental thickening in the orbital segment of the optic nerve were obtained in 27 eyes (71.1%, 27/38) and in 24 eyes (63.2%, 24/38) with optic nerve and sheath enhancement. During the follow-up period, there were 10 cases of relapse (31.3%, 10/32). The logMAR BCVA of attacked eyes were 0.52±0.09, 0.22±0.06, 0.12±0.06, 0.10±0.06 at 1 week and 1, 3 and 6 months after IVMP treatment, respectively. The rate of BCVA improvement was the fastest at 1 week after treatment, and BCVA returned to stability at 3 months. Logistic regression analysis showed that the timing of intervention was significantly correlated with the prognosis of vision in primary onset patients (odds ratio=12.17, P=0.006), with a negative linear regression relationship (r=－0.48, 95% confidence interval －0.71-－0.17, P=0.008). Comparing the logMAR BCVA between the intervention time ＞14 group with the ＜7 group and the 7-14 group, there were statistically significant difference (P=0.017, 0.037), respectively. The cut-off point of ROC curve to predict the optimal intervention time was 13.5 days. Other factors such as: gender, age, predisposing factor, pain of eye motion, edema of optic disc, bilateral ON, imaging changes, abnormal autoimmune indicators were not associated with the prognosis of visual acuity. ConclusionThe timing of hormone intervention in primary onset patients is an important factor affecting the prognosis of vision and the optimal intervention time window of IVMP is two weeks.
Objective Based on “timing it right”, the application effect of the continuous nursing program in school-age children with epilepsy. Methods A total of 80 epileptic children and primary caregiver who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of Wuxi a third class A children’s hospital from October 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into experimental group and control group with 40 cases each by convenience sampling. The control group was given routine care, and the intervention group was given a continuous nursing for school-age children with epilepsy based on timing theory. The continuous nursing process was divided into four stages: diagnosis stage, treatment stage,preparation stage, and convalescence stage.According to the needs of the different stages of the disease,In each stage,the intervention was carried out from disease cognition, emotional support, Correct care, psychological adjustment, rehabilitation training. TO Reduce the burden on caregivers and promote the recovery of patients. The results of Knowledge of the disease, burden of Caregiver and quality of life were compared between the two groups before intervention, before discharge and Three months after discharge through Epileptic disease health knowledge questionnaire, Zarit Care-giver Burden Interview, PedsQTM4.0. Results After intervention, The degree of seizures-related knowledge mastered by the main caregivers of children with epilepsy, the quality of life were significantly improved (all P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of the continuity nursing plan based on the timing theory can improve the knowledge level of the main caregivers of epilepsy children, improve their caring ability, and improve the quality of life of epilepsy children.
