Day case ankle arthroplasty: are they safe and cost effective? A single-centre case-control study

BackgroundMost patients who have an ankle replacement in the United Kingdom stay in hospital for 2–4 days. This study looked at the safety & cost-effectiveness of a day case ankle replacement pathway.MethodsThis was a retrospective case-control study looking at day case pathway for ankle replacements set up in collaboration with anaesthetists, nurses and physiotherapists. Patients practiced mobilization with crutches before surgery. Patients were discharged home with enough analgesia, and reviewed within 2–5 days of discharge.ResultsTwenty ankle replacements done between November 2017 and November 2019 were reviewed with a mean follow up of 38.4 months. None of these patients required to be readmitted within the first 28 days. No complications were related to the surgery being done as day case. Except one, all patients described the experience as excellent or good.ConclusionPer case the cost savings are estimated to be £880 in comparison to 20 matched inpatient ankle replacements. We conclude that ankle replacements can be safely carried out as day case with appropriate patient selection, pre-operative education and a multi-disciplinary approach.     

我国三级医疗机构营养科专业人才队伍情况调查

目的调查分析我国三级医疗机构营养科专业人才队伍情况，提出针对性建议。方法从国家医疗质量管理与控制信息网选取1 283家三级医疗机构调研临床营养专业技术人员数据，应用频数、构成比等进行描述性统计分析。 结果三级医疗机构营养科专业技术人员数量不足且分布不均衡，高层次人才比例偏低。医床比1:556.91，技床比1:841.30，医技比1.51:1，护床比1:1 031.31，均未达到文件标准，营养科医师严重缺编。结论应加强营养科专业人员教育和高层次人才培养，建立规范化培养体系，明确营养科职称评定和岗位技能考核制度，不断扩增专业人才数量，提升临床营养诊疗能力。     

Encuesta nacional sobre el tratamiento de los sarcomas en España

Surgical units attending sarcomas in Spain are poor studied. The aim is to know the management of this pathology to identify areas of improvement through multicenter study based on a voluntary survey.The survey was completed by 74 surgeons of different hospitals, which 32.4% is exclusively dedicated to sarcomas. Only 24.3% declared to receive specific training in sarcomas. The most frequent type of hospital was the third level (56.8%), where 38.1% of the surgeons belong to societies or working-groups in sarcoma fields vs. 9.4% in first-second levels. The number of surgeons with specific theoretical training and papers published in this field are higher in third level hospitals. 55.4% belonged to a multidisciplinary unit. A multidisciplinary team was available in 57% of third level hospital vs. 28% in others.Most services in charge of these patients are characterized by deficient specialization, low workload and the absence of a multidisciplinary team.     

多学科会诊模式在结肠癌手术患者中的应用效果

目的分析多学科会诊(MDT)模式对结肠癌患者术后胃肠功能恢复及并发症的效果评价。方法将2017年1月至12月收治的50例结肠癌患者作为对照组,给予常规干预措施;将2018年1月至12月收治的50例结肠癌患者为观察组,采取MDT模式干预。比较两组患者的胃肠功能恢复情况及一般围手术期指标;干预前和干预后2周,采用世界卫生组织生存质量评估量表(WHOQOL-BREF)评估两组患者的生活质量;术后3天,采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估两组患者腹胀发生情况;比较两组患者术后并发症发生情况。结果观察组患者肛门排气时间、首次排便时间、肠鸣音恢复时间、禁食时间、伤口愈合时间、住院时间、术后下床时间均短于对照组患者,差异均有统计学意义(P﹤0.05)。干预后2周,两组患者环境领域、社会领域、心理领域、生理领域及总体健康评分均高于本组干预前,且观察组患者环境领域、社会领域、心理领域、生理领域及总体健康评分均明显高于对照组患者,差异均有统计学意义(P﹤0.05)。术后3天,观察组患者的腹胀程度低于对照组患者,差异有统计学意义(P﹤0.05)。观察组患者术后并发症总发生率为6.0%,低于对照组患者的20.0%,差异有统计学意义(P﹤0.05)。结论MDT模式干预可促进患者术后胃肠功能恢复情况,缩短伤口愈合时间及住院时间,降低术后并发症发生率,并改善了患者的生活质量。     

重视甲状腺癌多学科综合治疗

甲状腺癌是最常见的内分泌肿瘤之一，其发病率逐年上升。对于复杂疑难的甲状腺癌，其诊断过程涉及超声、CT、放射性核素检查、喉镜检查、血液学检查［甲状腺功能、血清甲状腺球蛋白（Tg）］、病理学检查。其治疗是以外科为主的综合治疗，诊疗过程涉及甲状腺外科、耳鼻喉科、胸外科、麻醉科、内分泌科、核医学科、放疗科、肿瘤内科、ICU、超声科、病理科、影像科等。采用多学科综合治疗协作组（MDT）模式可以发挥多学科优势，为病人提供最佳的诊疗方案，实现个体化、精准化治疗，有助于降低手术并发症发生率，改善病人预后和生活质量，提高综合疗效，最终使甲状腺癌病人获益。     

护士应用体外膜肺氧合技术核心能力评价指标的构建

目的 构建一套科学、系统的护士应用体外膜肺氧合（extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,ECMO）技术的核心能力评价指标,为护士的培养、考核和能力评价提供参考依据。 方法 通过文献回顾、半结构式访谈形成护士应用ECMO技术核心能力评价指标初稿,2021年2月—4月,采用德尔菲法对6个省份的25名专家进行问卷函询,运用层次分析法确定各级指标权重。 结果 共开展2轮函询,问卷有效回收率分别为90.00%、92.59%,第2轮函询专家的权威系数为0.886,肯德尔和谐系数为0.205（P<0.001）。最终构建的评价指标包括临床专业知识、临床实践技能、评判性思维能力、专业发展能力、沟通协调能力、管理能力、个人特质7个一级指标、19个二级指标、70个三级指标。 结论 构建的护士应用ECMO技术核心能力评价指标具有较高的科学性和可靠性,对护士的培养、考核和能力评价具有指导意义。
