  • The Psychological States and Their Influencing Factors in the Parents of Congenital Defect Neonates Admitted to Intensive Care Unit

    ObjectiveTo investigate the psychological states and their influencing factors in parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). MethodsThe self-designed general information questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data, and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the states of anxiety and depression of the parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU between June 1 and November 29, 2013. ResultsA total of 152 parents were included in this investigation. The average score of SAS was 39.45±8.53. The average score of SDS was 43.28±10.76. Univariate analysis found that parents with lower educational level, poorer family income, positive family history and countryside residence might have higher score of SAS, while parents with Han nationality, poorer family income and family history would have higher score of SDS. Multivariate analysis discovered that living condition and family history were related to anxiety status. However, depression state was influenced by nationality, family income and family history. ConclusionA considerable number of parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU have anxiety or depression. And nationality, family income, family history and living condition are the major risk factors.

  • Single Aortic Cusp Replacement with Bovine Pericardium for Children with Ventricular Septal Defect and Aortic Regurgitation

    ObjectiveTo assess clinical results of single aortic cusp replacement with bovine pericardium for children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe aortic regurgitation (AR). MethodsClinical data of 42 children with VSD and severe AR who underwent single aortic cusp replacement with bovine pericardium in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from March 2006 to September 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 28 male and 14 female patients with their age of 2-14 (9.0±3.6) years. All the patients were in NYHA class Ⅱ. ResultsNo early mortality or major morbidity was recorded. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed successful repair with normal coaptation of the aortic leaflets in all the patients. AR grade was less than mild in all the patients with peak aortic valve pressure gradients of 14.2±2.8 mm Hg. All the patients were discharged from the hospital within 11 postoperative days without any adverse symptom,and were followed up for 32-72 (50±16) months. During follow-up,all the patients were in NYHA class I. There were 17 patients without AR,21 patients with mild AR and 4 patients with moderate AR. The peak aortic valve pressure gradient was 12.4±3.2 mm Hg. None of the patients died or required reoperation,and structural valve degeneration was not observed during follow-up. ConclusionSingle aortic cusp replacement with bovine pericardium can produce good hemodynamics and midterm results for children with VSD and severe AR.
