1例重型弥漫性轴索损伤伴肺挫裂伤患者的肺康复护理

总结1例重型弥漫性轴索损伤伴肺挫裂伤患者的肺康复护理经验。护理要点包括：组建多学科肺康复管理团队,实施个性化呼吸支持与降阶梯序贯氧疗护理,精准廓清呼吸道,开展一体化的早期肺功能康复锻炼。经过多学科团队合作,患者入院后第12天撤离呼吸机,第17天拔除气管插管,第20天下床活动,第37天顺利出院,随访6个月,患者恢复良好。     

稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者报告结局现状及影响因素分析

目的 了解稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病 (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD) 患者报告结局现状,分析其影响因素及与炎症指标的相关性,为开展以患者为中心的早期护理干预提供依据。 方法 采用便利抽样法,选取2020年10月—2021年7月于南宁市某三级甲等医院呼吸内科门诊就诊的稳定期COPD患者作为调查对象,采用一般资料调查表、COPD患者报告结局量表修订版 (the Modified Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for COPD,mCOPD-PRO) 进行调查,并收集患者就诊时炎症指标的结果。采用多元线性回归分析稳定期COPD患者报告结局的影响因素,采用相关性分析探讨患者报告结局与炎症指标的关系。结果 该研究共纳入204例稳定期COPD患者,mCOPD-PRO得分为 (1.75±0.58) 分。多元线性回归分析显示,性别、合并疾病数量、病程、肺功能分级是稳定期COPD患者报告结局的影响因素 (P<0.05),可解释稳定期COPD患者报告结局10.8%的总变异。相关性分析显示,白细胞计数、中性粒细胞计数、嗜酸性粒细胞计数与稳定期COPD患者的mCOPD-PRO得分呈正相关 (P<0.05) ;总白蛋白浓度与其呈负相关 (P<0.05) 。结论 稳定期COPD患者报告结局有待改善,女性、合并疾病数量>3种、病程较长、肺功能分级较高的COPD患者报告的结局较差。COPD患者报告结局与白细胞计数、中性粒细胞计数、嗜酸性粒细胞计数、总白蛋白浓度相关。护理人员应关注稳定期COPD患者报告结局及炎症指标,在早期采取针对性的干预措施,以改善患者的生活质量。     

Diagnosing pulmonary thromboembolism: Concerns and controversies

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is an important cause of mortality/morbidity even today despite advancement in clinical understanding as well as diagnostic facilities. Clinical diagnosis of PTE is often challenging because of nonspecific sign/symptoms. Adherence to clinical decision-making protocols and appropriate use of diagnostic modalities like computed tomography pulmonary angiography can resolve the diagnostic dilemma in most cases and help in the overall management of PTE. This article deals with various concerns as well as controversies surrounding accurate diagnosis of PTE as on date.     

Midterm Outcomes of Angioplasty for Pediatric Renovascular Hypertension

PurposeTo evaluate the midterm outcomes of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) for pediatric renovascular hypertension (RVH).Materials and MethodsThe clinical data of patients who underwent PTRA for RVH in the authors’ hospital from 2012 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Postprocedural blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney, restenosis, and complications were closely monitored.ResultsPTRA was performed in a total of 30 children (20 boys and 10 girls), with a mean age of 7.3 years ± 0.7 (range, 40 days to 13.9 years) and a mean weight of 25.0 kg ± 2.3 (range, 3.4–53 kg). The median follow-up period was 26.5 months (range, 1 month to 7.5 years). Technical success was achieved in 26 (86.7%) of the 30 patients. Restenosis developed in 3 patients (10.0%). Only 1 patient underwent stent implantation, and the stent fractured 8 months later, requiring further intervention. There were no other complications. In terms of clinical benefit of blood pressure control after the initial PTRA procedure, 15 patients (50%) were cured and 7 patients (23.3%) showed improvement. There was no significant difference in the etiology, lesion location, and lesion length between patients with clinical benefit and failure (P = .06, P = .202, and P = .06, respectively). GFR of the affected kidney was significantly improved from 19.9 mL/min ± 11.2 to 38.1 mL/min ± 11.9 at the 6-month follow-up after PTRA (P < .001).ConclusionsThe overall results of PTRA for pediatric RVH caused by different etiologies are promising. PTRA not only provided a clinical benefit of blood pressure control in 73.3% of the patients but also significantly improved the function of the affected kidney.
