Objective To investigate the information of label use of high-alert drugs for children of high risk population, in the Military General Hospital of Beijing PLA. Methods We selected high-alert drugs used in this hospital as objectives. The package inserts of these drugs were investigated and medication parts for children were analyzed. Results 201 drugs regarded as high-alert drugs were included, of which only 78 drugs have accurate detailed description of medication for children, accounting for 38.8% of the total of investigated high-alert drugs. Conclusion Children, as high-risk population, needs more attention concerning the use of high-alert drugs. However, risks in the use of high-alert drugs increased due to the lack of the information of label use of high-alert drugs. To ensure the safety of drug use in children, the information of drug use for children in the package inserts should be urgently supplemented.
目的 分析死胎死亡原因及可能的相关因素，为降低死胎发生的措施提供依据。 方法 对2007年1月－2011年12月住院分娩的609例死胎（≥28周） 的病例资料进行回顾性分析,包括对产检次数差异、死胎性别、死胎孕周分布、母亲年龄差别、母亲文化程度等进行统计分析。 结果 ① 死胎的原因依次为：胎儿因素（41.2%），母体因素（24.1%），胎盘因素（21.7%）及不明原因（13.0%）；其中胎儿畸形、重度子痫前期及胎盘早剥为主要原因；② 母亲的文化程度低、未建卡或未正规产检者死胎发生的几率高于正规产检者，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。 结论 加强围产保健，早期筛查胎儿畸形、防治妊娠期并发症及合并症等都有助于降低死胎的发生率。
Objective To analyze death causes and relevant factors in victims of Wenchuan earthquake．Methods Medical records of 27 dead patients admitted to W est China Hospital during the first 30 days after Wenchuan earthquake were analyzed retrospectively．Patient census data，diagnoses，dispositions，and prognoses were collected． Results A total of 2702 patients with earthquake related injuries were admitted to West China Hospital．The overall mortality rate was 1％(27／2702 patients)．The death were associated with age≥70．severe cerebral injuries and severe underlying illness．Mortality rate was highest in aged patients with comorbidities．Conclusions Insufficient pre-hospital treatment and inappropriate transfer procedure may contribute to the early death．Complicated with comorbidities is the leading cause of late death．Earlier involvement of intensivist in medical intervention in such a disaster is demanded．
Abstract： Objective To analyze clinical outcomes of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） application for high-risk patients before undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）， and summarize our experience and weaning indications of IABP. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 102 high-risk patients with coronary artery disease who underwent IABP implantation before OPCAB from January 2008 to July 2011 in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University. There were 71 male patients and 31 female patients with their average age of 63.0±8.2 years in this IABP group. We also chose another 100 patients without IABP implantation before undergoing OPCAB as the control group， including 55 male patients and 45 female patients with their average age of 64.1±9.5 years. Postoperative systolic arterial blood pressure （SABP）， mean arterial blood pressure （MABP）， mechanical ventilation time， length of intensive care unit（ICU） stay， morbidity， duration of IABP treatment and in-hospital mortality of two groups were compared. Left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） was evaluated with echocardiography 3 months after surgery. Results Postoperative SABP （95.3±12.2 mm Hg vs. 80.1±11.7 mm Hg；t=8.440， P=0.000） and MABP （78.9±13.5 mm Hg vs. 52.3±15.1 mm Hg； t=12.410， P=0.000） of the IABP group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Mechanical ventilation time， length of ICU stay and duration of inotropic support of the IABP group were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The incidence of ventricular arrhythmia， low cardiac output syndrome， perioperative myocardial infarction and dialysis-requiring acute kidney failure of the IABP group were significantly lower than those of the control group. In-hospital mortality of the IABP group was significantly lower than that of the control group ［5.9% （6/102） vs. 17.0% （17/100）， χ 2 =6.180， P=0.020］. Ninety-six patients in the IABP group and 83 patients in the control group were followed up for 3 months. Three months after surgery， echocardiography showed that LVEF of the IABP group was significantly higher than that of the control group（45.3%±12.0% vs. 39.1%±8.2%， t=3.950， P=0.000）. Conclusion Preoperative prophylactic IABP implantation and optimal timing of weaning from IABP support can not only significantly reduce surgical risk and improve surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery of high-risk patients undergoing OPCAB， but also considerably ameliorate patient heart function and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality.
Clinical scientists have paid more and more attention to the acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), a severe complication after thoracotomy, for its high mortality rate. Compared with other surgical patients, patients who received thoracotomy often have a worse cardiopulmonary function and are prone to suffering from ARDS. Surgical treatment or injury, massive blood transfusion, respiratory tract infection, improper fluid replacement and ventilation are probable reasons to cause ARDS. Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment for ARDS，but ventilation with lungprotective strategies was proved to be the only therapy which can improve the prognosis of patients with ARDS. At present, thinking highly of and promoting the perioperative management, lessening surgical injury and active prevention are still very important measures to reduce the mortality after thoracotomy. This article is aimed to review the high risk factors of ARDS after thoracotomy as well as its treatment.
Objective To study effects of mitral valve replacement(MVR) on the old with mitral valve diseases(MVD). Methods The documents of 265 cases undergoing MVR were reviewed, who aged 60 years old or over between June 1991 and June 2003. Demographices, clinical preoperative conditions, indications to surgery, early postoperative course and long-term outcome were collected via hospital documents and outpatient follow-up. Many risk factors were analysed. Results Follow-up rate amounted to 93.7%(236/252). The mortality was 4.9% (13/265) within 30 days. Heart failure and renal failure were the main cause of death. Compared with younger patients(lt;60 years old), long-term survival rate was lower in the old, 5-year 87.52% vs 96.84%, 10-year 81.23% vs 94.87%. There were 15 late deaths(0.17% case/M), most of whom died of heart failure, cancers and lung infections. Risk factors for MVR in the old included New York Heart Association class Ⅳ, diabetes, and lung incompetence. Conclusions The patients with MVD over 60 years old tended to present high postoperatively mortality and morbidity.
