ObjectiveTo summarize and analyze the causes of temporarily rescheduled selective operations in hospital and to find out improvements via statistical analysis. MethodsBy referring to the specialized anesthesia log, the rescheduled operations among all the selective operations in 2012 were retrospectively studied, and the rescheduled situations in different ages, sex and departments were analyzed. The specific causes of rescheduling and improvements were also discussed. ResultsThere were 582 rescheduled cases among all the 9 670 selective operations from January to December in 2012, with a rescheduling rate of 6.02%. The top three departments were orthopedics, thoracic surgery, and neurosurgery. Main causes for rescheduled cases were diseases, inadequate preoperational preparations, requests of patients or relatives and accidents. ConclusionMedical workers should get preoperational patients fully prepared materially, physically and psychologically via reinforcement of preoperative evaluation and preparation and avoidance of unexpected situations, so as to reduce rescheduling phenomena of selective operations.
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of mental intervention on elderly patients with chronic atrophic gastritis. MethodsFifty elderly patients with chronic atrophic gastritis treated from May 2011 to June 2012 were divided into two groups randomly. The control group (n=25) received conventional therapy, and individual mental intervention was applied only to patients in the treatment group (n=25). Difference of clinical effects between the two groups was observed. Change of SCL-90 symptoms index before and after the treatment in each group was analyzed too. ResultsThe treatment group showed better effects than the control group (total efficiency:80%, 48%; P<0.05), and SCL-90 symptoms index in the treatment group decreased significantly after treatment. ConclusionReasonable mental intervention helps to rehabilitate elderly patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and improve their life quality.
