Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the series parameters of reticulocyte in children with different types of anemia. Methods From January to August 2015, the reticulocyte parameters of 150 children with different types of anemia treated in the People’s Hospital of Dujiangyan were retrospectively analyzed. Another 150 healthy children aged 1-10 years examined in the same hospital at the same period were as the control group. Mindray BC-6900 automatic blood cell analyzer and suited reagent were used to determine the absolute value of reticulocyte (RET#), percentage of reticulocyte (RET%), immature reticulocyte ratio (IRF), low fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (LFR%), moderate fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (MFR%), and height fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (HFR%). The data were statistically analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, RET%, RET# and IRF results in iron deficiency anemia group, hemolytic anemia group, aplastic anemia group, recent hemorrhagic anemia group, renal anemia group, leukemia and chemotherapy group had statistical difference (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, LFR%, MFR%, HFR% results in hemolytic anemia group and aplastic anemia group had statistical difference (P<0.05). LFR%, MFR% and HFR% results of other types of anemia had no statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion The series parameters of the reticulocyte, having an important reference value, can be used in the diagnosis of children with different types of anemia as a reference index, early diagnosis and early treatment of children with different anemia, which also can be used as a method to diagnose different types of anemia.
ObjectiveTo use failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to check and improve the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection, and explore the application effect of FMEA in the emergency inspection items.MethodsFMEA was used to sort out the whole process of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection from January 30 to February 21, 2020. By establishing the theme, setting up a team, analyzing the failure mode and potential influencing factors. Then calculate the risk priority number (RPN), formulate preventive measures and implement continuous improvement according to the analysis results.ResultsA total of 2 138 cases were included. After improvement, the number of potential failure modes has been reduced by 2 (17 vs.19); the value of total RPN decreased (3 527.49 vs. 1 858.28). There was significant difference in average RPN before and after improvement [(185.66±74.34) vs. (97.80±37.97); t=6.128, P<0.001].ConclusionsIn the early stage of emergency inspection items, using FMEA can systematically check the risk factors in the process, develop improvement measures. It also can effectively reduce the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection in hospital.
