The Cathlocator: A novel non-radiological method for the localization of enteral tubes

Safe placement of nasogastric tubes requires reliable positioning of the tip of the tube within the stomach. Radiology and aspiration are currently used to confirm tube position, but suffer from significant problems of cost and efficacy, respectively. We have developed a novel method to locate the position of a catheter tip within the body, using the detection of a low energy electromagnetic field generated in a coil located in the catheter with an external hand-held unit (Cathlocator). In vitro, the unit detected the distance of the coil from the detector with an accuracy of 0.1 cm over a range of 4–12 cm. In vivo studies were performed in 11 healthy volunteers using a purpose-built manometric assembly that incorporated the signal generating coil in its tip. In all subjects the Cathlocator showed the position of the signal generating coil to be cranial to the xiphisternum when manometric and transmucosal potential difference criteria showed it to be located above the lower oesophageal sphincter. When the coil was within the stomach, the Cathlocator identified its position within the epigastric, umbilical and left hypochondrial regions of the abdomen. The distance of the coil from the surface was significantly greater when in the duodenum mean (±s.e.m. 7.6±0.3 cm; P<0.001) and oesophagus (8.6±0.2 cm; P<0.002) than the stomach (5.0±0.4 cm). In one subject studied twice there was a close correlation between the location and depth measured by the device on each occasion. The Cathlocator is a novel non-radiological device that has the potential to be useful in the placement of gastrointestinal catheters.

郃郎喘必消冲剂的药理研究

本文通过对小鼠急性毒性实验,抗炎实验,对胸腺脾脏的影响及对豚鼠在体、离体气管平滑肌作用实验,观察了郃郎喘必消冲剂的药理学效应。结果表明,该制剂无明显毒性,最大耐受量为1000g/kg/d。它有明显的对抗二甲苯致小鼠耳炎及延长组胺诱发哮喘发作潜伏期的作用,对豚鼠离体气管平滑肌无松驰作用,对小鼠胸腺和脾脏有使其重量减小的趋势,但与对照组比较无显著性差异。     

机械通气气管插管吸痰方法探讨

目的探讨不同的吸痰方法,从而有效地清除气管插管患者的呼吸道分泌物。方法对47例气管插管病人均采用常规法和呛咳法两种方法吸痰,呛咳法要求:吸痰管带负压进入气管插管,随吸痰管插入深度调节负压,适时安全吸痰,适度气道湿化。常规法按临床一般方法进行吸痰。将两种方法吸出的痰量,痰液性状及吸痰前后20min血氧饱和度(SpO2)进行比较。结果两种方法在吸出的痰量,痰液性状和SpO2方面存在着显著差异(P<0.05,P<0.01),呛咳法吸出的痰多且粘稠。吸痰后SpO2明显高于吸痰前和常规法。结论呛咳法吸痰能充分吸出气道深部的痰液,可以有效防止气道阻塞,改善通气功能。     

Congenital tracheal stenosis in Pfeiffer syndrome

We report an infant with Pfeiffer syndrome (acrocephalosyndactyly type V) and a solid cartilaginous trachea lacking rings. This airway abnormality has been reported in a child with Crouzon syndrome but has not been described in Pfeiffer syndrome.     

引导管芯在更换经口气管导管的应用

目的 观察应用引导管芯做引导，更换经口气管内导管的临床效果。方法 随机选择26例已完成气管内插管的病人，将引导管芯插入气管导管内至隆突水平，并拔出气管导管；将欲更换的气管导管套在引导管芯外，在管芯引导下将气管导管插入气管内，完成换置；结果 全部病例均顺利完成更换导管，换管过程中病人氧合良好，术后未发生与更换导管相关并发症；结论 应用引导管芯更换气管内导管，方法安全，简便易行，可替代传统换管方法。     

Ultrasonic vocalizations and maternal-infant interactions in a rat model of fetal alcohol syndrome

When isolated from their dams and littermates, rat pups emit ultrasonic vocalizations to elicit attention and retrieval from their dams. This study examined the effects of perinatal alcohol exposure on ultrasonic vocalizations and maternal-infant interactions. Alcohol was administered throughout gestation to the dams and during the early postnatal period to the pups. Control groups consisted of a nontreated control and an intubated, pair-fed control. Ultrasonic vocalizations were measured on postnatal day (PD) 5 under varying conditions of isolation. Maternal behaviors were examined on PD2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Maternal behaviors were not significantly affected by prior alcohol administration to either the dams or the pups. However, ethanol-exposed rat pups vocalized more on PD5 than controls regardless of condition. The heightened vocalization response of the ethanol-exposed pups might be an underlying factor in the persistent effects of perinatal ethanol exposure on social behavior.     

困难气管内插管的预测和处理

目的 探讨对困难气管内插管的预测及处理方法。方法 随机选取各类需行气管内插管麻醉下择期手术患者50例,术前测量IG、Slux,TM,HENE,HFNF、气道分类及声门分级等各项指标,并分析它们在气管插管难度之间的关系。结果 50例患者中,气道分类Ⅳ类者7例,声门分级Ⅲ级者17例,Ⅳ级者1例。17例声门Ⅲ级者以EtCO2引导下口腔盲插法插管成功,1例声门Ⅳ级者以气囊充气鼻腔盲控气管内插管法插管成功。结论 术前评价气管插管难易程度应综合考察各项测量指标,这些指标中又以声门分级最为可靠。
