四肢烧伤患者行急诊负压封闭引流术的疗效观察

目的探究应用急诊切痂植皮配合负压封闭引流术治疗四肢烧伤的临床疗效。方法按随机抽取法将医院2018年2月—2019年1月间收治的57例四肢烧伤患者分为常规组和实验组,常规组28例,实验组29例。给予常规组患者急诊切痂植皮,用常规换药配合治疗,而实验组在常规组的基础上用负压封闭引流术配合治疗。比较常规组患者和实验组患者的临床效果、疼痛程度评分。结果两组患者的总有效率对比,实验组总有效率吗,明显高于常规组的总有效率,实验和常规组差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。常规组患者的疼痛评分高于实验组患者,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论四肢烧伤患者通过应用急诊切痂植皮配合负压封闭引流术治疗后,临床效果得到有效改善,质量生活水平得到提高。     

Long-Term Outcomes and Associations With Major Adverse Limb Events After Peripheral Artery Revascularization

BackgroundLong-term cardiovascular and limb outcomes after revascularization for peripheral artery disease and, in particular, prognosis after post-procedure major adverse limb events (MALE) are not well-studied.ObjectivesThis study sought to describe outcomes after peripheral revascularization and assess relationships between post-procedure MALE hospitalization and subsequent events.MethodsPatients undergoing peripheral artery revascularization between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2015, in the Premier Healthcare Database were examined for the co-primary outcomes of interest, composite myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke and composite major amputation or peripheral revascularization. Multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models with post-procedure MALE hospitalization included as a time-dependent covariate were developed to estimate hazard ratios for outcomes.ResultsAmong 393,017 revascularized patients followed for a median of 2.7 years (interquartile range: 1.3 to 4.4 years), the cumulative incidence of MI or stroke was 9.8% and that of major amputation or peripheral revascularization was 41.9%. A total of 50,750 patients (12.9%) had at least 1 post-procedure MALE hospitalization. In time-dependent covariate adjusted models, post-procedure MALE hospitalization was associated with greater risk of subsequent MI or stroke (hazard ratio: 1.34; 95% confidence interval: 1.28 to 1.40) and major amputation or peripheral revascularization (hazard ratio: 8.13; 95% confidence interval: 7.96 to 8.29). After peripheral revascularization with or without post-procedure MALE hospitalization, risk of limb events increased rapidly post-procedure and more slowly after the first year, whereas cardiac risk increased steadily during follow-up.ConclusionsRevascularized peripheral artery disease patients face earlier limb and later cardiovascular ischemic risk that is heightened among patients with post-procedure MALE hospitalization. Increased provider awareness of these long-term risks may guide efforts to improve post-procedural outcomes.     

Pulmonary and upper limbs function in children with early stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy compared to their healthy peers

BackgroundPulmonary and upper limbs function of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are known to deteriorate throughout the disease process. However, there is a lack of information on the extent of impairments in the early stages of DMD when compared to healthy peers.ObjectiveTo investigate to what extent pulmonary and upper limbs function of children with early stage DMD are impaired.MethodsSixty-one children participated in the study: 31 with Grade 1 DMD (study group) according to the Brooke Upper and Lower Extremity Functional Classification Systems, and 30 age matched healthy peers (control group). Pulmonary function was determined with pulmonary function tests. The Performance of Upper Limb test was used to evaluate the upper limbs function.ResultsStudy and control groups were homogenous in terms of physical characteristics (p > 0.05). Pulmonary and upper limbs function of children with DMD were about 85% and 93% of healthy peers, respectively.ConclusionThis study provides evidence for deterioration of pulmonary and upper limbs function in children with early stage DMD. Better knowledge of deterioration rate over time may help therapists to better plan and update their plan of care.     

How to use a nasopharyngeal prong in Pierre Robin sequence

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) describes a small mandible with retrognathia, an elevated and posteriorly positioned tongue, and an associated U-shaped cleft palate. The retracted tongue may obstruct the airway leading to respiratory failure, with failure to thrive and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes if not addressed. If the airway obstruction cannot be overcome with conservative measures, there are non-surgical and surgical options. A nasopharyngeal prong (NPP) is a non-surgical, temporary treatment that avoids the complications inherent in an operation, especially given the natural history of mandibular growth and improved airway obstruction in PRS. Although the use of a prong requires training, support, and follow up, it effectively bypasses the obstruction in the majority of children with PRS, and allows the child to outgrow the airway obstruction until the prong is no longer required. On average, the prong can be removed between 6 and 12 months of age.     

良肢体摆放与肢体功能运动对脑卒中偏瘫患者肢体并发症的影响

目的研究良肢体摆放与肢体功能运动对脑卒中偏瘫患者肢体并发症的影响。方法选取2018年8月-2020年10月我院接收的脑卒中偏瘫患者66例,随机分为对照组和观察组,各33例。对照组按常规护理。观察组早期进行良肢体摆放与肢体功能运动。比较两组Fugl-Meyer运动功能评分、并发症情况。结果观察组并发症总发生率为12.12%,低于对照组的39.39%(P<0.05)。两组护理前Fugl-Meyer运动功能评分比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);观察组护理半个月、1个月、3个月、6个月Fugl-Meyer运动功能评分高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论在脑卒中偏瘫患者护理中施予良肢体摆放与肢体功能运动,能够明显改善患者Fugl-Meyer运动功能,并减少各类并发症的发生。
