  • Effect of perioperative fluid management on postoperative pulmonary complications of esophagectomy: A retrospective cohort study

    Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative fluid management on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) of esophagectomy, and to find out the optimal scheme for perioperative fluid administration. Methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled 75 patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer who have received esophagectomy in West China Hospital from June to December 2014. We used the Kroenke's postoperative pulmonary complications classification system to define the PPCs. Patients with PPCs of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ were considered as PPCs group (n=13, 12 males, 1 female, age of 64.62±8.64 years), and others were considered as non-complication group (n=62, 50 males, 12 females, age of 60.55±8.73 years). Intraoperative and postoperative fluid inputs and outputs as well as clinical characteristics between groups were compared. Results Between two groups, there was a great difference in postoperative albumin infusion, intraoperative fluid administration [net input, total input, net input/kg, total input/kg, net input/(kg·h) and total input/(kg·h)] and fluid input on the first postoerative 1–3 days (total input and total input/kg). The cutoff value for total input/(kg·h) in operation and total input on the first 1–3 postoerative days was 12.07 ml/(kg·h) and 178.57 ml/kg, respectively. Conclusion The speed of fluid infusion in operation and total input on postoperative 1-3 days are most important influence factors of PPCs. The speed in operation should not exceed 12.07 ml/(kg·h) and the total input on postoperative 1-3 days should not exceed 178.57 ml/kg. Within this range, an appropriate increase in fluid volume can make patients feel better.

  • Clinical application of inspiratory muscle training in postoperative patients with esophageal cancer: a meta-analysis

    Objective To systematically review the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on postoperative clinical outcomes among esophageal cancer patients. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched from inception to January 16th, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on the clinical application of IMT among postoperative esophageal cancer patients. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results Eight studies were included, including 7 RCTs and 1 cohort study, involving 728 participants. The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated that IMT significantly enhanced postoperative respiratory muscle function [maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP): MD=5.75, 95%CI 0.81 to 10.70, P=0.02; maximum expiratory pressure (MEP): MD=8.19, 95%CI 4.14 to 12.24, P<0.001] and pulmonary function (FEV1%: MD=6.94, 95%CI 5.43 to 8.45, P<0.001; FVC%: MD=4.65, 95%CI 2.70 to 6.60, P<0.001; MVV: MD=8.66, 95%CI 7.17 50 10.14, P<0.001; FEV1/FVC%: MD=8.04, 95%CI 4.68 to 11.40, P<0.001). Additionally, the results indicated that IMT could substantially improve postoperative functional performance [six-minute walk test (6MWT): MD=66.99, 95%CI 10.13 to 123.85, P=0.02; Borg index: MD=−1.03, 95%CI −1.26 to −0.81, P<0.001]. However, no significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications was observed. Conclusion IMT can improve the postoperative clinical outcomes of esophageal cancer patients and facilitate patient recovery after surgery, which has high clinical value. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

  • A survey of symptoms after thoracoscopic lung cancer resection based on patient-reported outcomes

    Objective To analyze the changes of perioperative symptoms of lung cancer patients by using patient-reported outcomes at different time points. MethodsA total of 109 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lung cancer resection in the department of thoracic surgery of our hospital from March to April 2021 were selected, including 55 (50.46%) males and 54 (49.54%) females. The mean age was 55.19±12.12 years. The postoperative symptom scale for lung cancer patients was used to investigate the changes of symptoms before surgery, 1 day after surgery, the day of discharge, and 30 days after surgery. Results The mean hospital stay was 6.89±2.25 days. None of the patients reported any clinical symptoms related to lung cancer before surgery. The most prominent symptoms 1 day after surgery were pain (3.33±0.96 points), nausea (2.81±1.18 points), dizziness (2.00±0.85 points), fatigue (1.89±0.79 points) and shortness of breath (1.79±1.37 points). The patients with dizziness, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms gradually decreased, and the symptoms were relieved significantly (P<0.05). However, the symptoms of conscious pain, cough and shortness of breath lasted for a long time. At 30 days after surgery, 70.64%, 64.22% and 33.03% of patients felt pain, cough and shortness of breath, respectively, and the degree of cough was aggravated (P<0.001). Conclusion Pain, cough, dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue are the core postoperative symptoms of lung cancer patients. Most postoperative adverse symptoms can be effectively controlled in a short period of time, but pain, cough and shortness of breath still present persistent characteristics, which deserve further study.

  • Risk factors for re-catheterization after failure of no urinary catheter in 1 618 patients with lung cancer surgery

    ObjectiveTo analyze the causes and potential risk factors of re-catheterization after failure of no urinary catheter in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.MethodsThe clinical data of 1 618 patients without urinary catheter indwelling during the perioperative period of thoracic surgery in our hospital from 2013 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 791 males and 827 females, with a median age of 58 years, ranging from 27 to 85 years. And the risk factors for re-insertion after failure of urinary catheter were investgated.ResultsThe rate of catheter re-insertion was 1.5% (24/1 618). Compared with patients without re-insertion, patients with re-insertion had longer operation time [120.0 (95.0, 130.0) min vs. 120.0 (115.0, 180.0) min, P=0.015] and more intraoperative fluid infusion [800.0 (600.0, 1 100.0) mL vs. 1 150.0 (725.0, 1 350.0) mL, P=0.008]. Further multivariate analysis found that the operation time (OR=1.014, P=0.004, 95%CI 1.005-1.024) and intraoperative fluid infusion (OR=1.001, P=0.022, 95%CI 1.001–1.002) were independent risk factors for re-insertion.ConclusionThe rate of catheter re-insertion in lung cancer patients is relatively low, and conventional no placement of catheter is safe and feasible after lung cancer surgery. Increasing operation time or intraoperative infusion volume may increase the risk of catheter re-insertion after lung cancer surgery.

  • Research on the awareness and clinical needs of wearable artificial kidney among maintenance hemodialysis patients

    Objective To investigate the awareness and clinical needs of wearable artificial kidney among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to analyze the related influencing factors. Methods MHD patients were recruited from 2 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province between April and June 2021. The convenient sampling method was used to select patients. The factors influencing the awareness and demand of MHD patients for wearable artificial kidney were analyzed. Results A total of 119 MHD patients were included. The awareness of wearable artificial kidney among the patients was mainly “never heard” (61 cases) and “heard” (58 cases). Most MHD patients (60 cases) were willing to use and participate in clinical trials in the future. The results of logistic regression indicated that the cost on household economy and treatment effect on life quality were the influencing factors for MHD patients’ awareness of wearable artificial kidney (P<0.05). The average duration of single dialysis and the impact of treatment on working or studying were the influencing factors for MHD patients’ needs of wearable artificial kidney (P<0.05). Conclusions The awareness of wearable artificial kidney is low among MHD patients. However, most MHD patients showed great interest in the wearable artificial kidney after preliminary understanding, suggesting that the future clinical application of wearable artificial kidney has great demand.
