ObjectiveVideo electroencephalography (VEEG) monitoring for health education of elderly patients based on a process-based communication model, and explore the impact of this model on the success rate, negative emotions, nursing satisfaction, and active cooperation rate of such patients.MethodsFrom September 2017 to September 2019, 118 patients with suspected epilepsy, encephalitis and other diseases who required VEEG monitoring in Suining Central Hospital were selected for this study (patients aged 61 to 73 years; 54 males and 64 females). Patients were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method, 59 patients in each group.A group received routine nursing, and B group received health education based on the process communication model. The monitoring success rate, negative emotion, active cooperation rate, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe total effective rate in the B group was 86.44%, which was significantly higher than 76.27% in the A group (P<0.05). After nursing intervention, the scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups were significantly decreased, but the decline was greater in the B group (P<0.05). The active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction of the B group were significantly higher than those of the A group (P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with conventional nursing, health education based on process communication mode can significantly improve the success rate of VEEG monitoring in elderly patients, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, improve the active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction.
As one of the crucial measures in the action plan for improving health services, day surgery is committed to efficiently integrating medical resources and improving the quality of medical services. Nowadays, public hospitals in China are vigorously promoting the day surgery cases. The normalization of day surgery is also one of the major goals for the Department of Gastroenterology to meet the current medical needs and explore sub-professional development in line with the discipline’s advantages. Taking the current status of day surgery in the Department of Gastroenterology of West China Hospital of Sichuan University as an example, this paper explores and constructs the “Huaxi Model of Day Surgery in the Department of Gastroenterology”, focusing on the management mode, operation process, operation implementation, quality and safety assurance of day surgery, so as to facilitate the exchange of experiences.

Objective To explore the concept, contents and existing problems of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery. Methods The literatures about the applied status and opinion of the modality applied in the surgical treatment of the colorectal cancer and fundament investigation in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The fast-track programmes enhance recovery of the patients who underwent the colorectal resection with the combination of multimodal techniques and approaches. Conclusion The fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery is the typical modality of the multi-disciplinary treatment, this modality can decrease the complications and reduce the hospital stay with preserve the well physiological fundament of the patients.
Objective To explore the value and clinical safety of low-dose dexamethasone used after operation of anastomotic colorectal resection with fast-track surgery in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Between January 2008 and December 2009, 470 patients undergoing anastomotic colorectal resection were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into dexamethasone group and control group according to the use of low-dose dexamethasone treatment or not after operation. Postoperative adverse effect, complications, and early rehabilitations were studied. Results There was no statistical significance in postoperative incidence of adverse effect or complications between two groups (Pgt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, first ambulation of patients in the dexamethasone group was significantly earlier than that in the control group (Plt;0.05), while there was no statistical significance in first time of passing flatus, stool, and oral intake, the retain time of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains, and postoperative hospital stay (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Using low-dose dexamethasone after operation anastomotic colorectal resection in patients with colorectal cancer is safe and may have potential to enhance recovery after operation.
ObjectiveTo introduce the clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture regulated by our hospital and report the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway. MethodsThe geriatric hip fracture patients treated between September 2003 and August 2012 were followed up. We did not implement the clinical pathway until January 2007. Statistical analysis was done to evaluate the effect of the clinical pathway on patient outcomes by comparing rate of complication, mortality, and length of hospital stay before and after the implementation of the clinical pathway. ResultsAfter the implementation of the pathway, the in-hospital mortality, one-year mortality and the rate of complication were significantly lower. Besides, the time from admission to operation and the total length of stay in hospital were obviously shortened. ConclusionThe use of clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture can reduce the rate of complication and mortality, and shorten hospital stay, and the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway are satisfying.
Objective To explore the effect of restrictive fluid administration on elderly patients with colorectal cancer in fasttrack.Methods From January 2008 to January 2009, the elderly patients (≥60 years old) diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, the clinical effects on post-operative early rehabilitation were studied and the difference between restrictive fluid regimen and tradition fluid regimen was compared. Results The difference of overall incidence of post-operative complications was statistically significant between the two groups (Plt;0.05). The incidences of anastomotic leakage and pulmonary infection of fluid restriction group were lower than those of tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05). The time of vent to normal, defecation to normal and postoperative first eating of fluid restriction group was shorter than those of tradition therapy group, the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.05). Comparing the biochemical indicators, the difference of preoperative GLU 〔（6.70±2.93） mmol/L vs. （6.33±3.95） mmol/L〕, BUN 〔(5.84±2.03) mmol/L vs. （7.32±10.83） mmol/L〕and CREA 〔(76.19±19.85) μmol/L vs. （85.36±38.02） μmol/L)〕 was statistically significant (Plt;0.05), but the difference of postoperative results had no statistical significance. Conclusion Restrictive fluid regimen can reduce the incidence of common complications after colorectal surgery for elderly patients, and have a certain promoter action to the early rehabilitation after rectal surgery.
