ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy between right visual double lumen tube (VDLT) intubation and right common double lumen tube (DLT) intubation in lung isolation technique. MethodsA total of 57 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with right DLT lung isolation technique in the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou City and West China Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were randomly divided into two groups: a DLT group (n=29, 16 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 54.3±13.2 years) and a VDLT group (n=28, 18 males and 10 females, with a mean age of 55.1±13.7 years) at 1 : 1 with random number table generated by the computer. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. ResultsCompared with the DLT group, the catheter positioning time in the VDLT group was statistically shorter (74.9±47.5 s vs. 151.6±88.9 s, P<0.001), the right upper lung occlusion rate (21.4% vs. 51.7%) and the intraoperative re-adjustment catheterization rate (14.3% vs. 48.3%) were lower (P<0.05). The quality of lung collapses immediately after thoracotomy (67.9% vs. 24.1%) and 20 minutes after thoracotomy (100.0% vs. 75.9%) were improved (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of fiberoptic bronchoscope assistance for positioning, or the incidence of pharynx pain and hoarseness between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with common DLT, VDLT is more efficient, accurate and intuitive in the location of right bronchial intubation.
目的 总结肺隔离症的临床特点、诊断方法及治疗的经验,降低误诊率,提高治疗水平。 方法 回顾性分析福州总医院2002年7月-2012年6月收治的27例肺隔离症患者的临床诊治手段。 结果 27例肺隔离症患者中,术前确诊仅有18例,误诊为肺部良性肿瘤3例,肺脓肿3例,支气管扩张2例,纵隔肿瘤1例。行外科切除的患者有19例,其中13例经胸腔镜手术,6例开胸手术,均无复发;行支气管动脉数字减影血管造影栓塞术8例,其中再发咯血1例来院行手术治疗。 结论 外科治疗是目前肺隔离症治疗的主要方法。围手术期积极控制感染对治疗的成功有显著意义。
Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical experiences and surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration (PS) in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of PS. Methods Between August 1993 and February 2007, our department enrolled 21 PS patients, 8 male patients and 13 female patients, with the age ranging from 13 to 70 years old. The patients were examined by chest radiography, computerized tomography (CT), computerized tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), position emission tomographyCT(PET-CT) before the surgery. Sequestrectomy was performed on patients with extralobar sequestration (ELS) and lobectomy was performed on patients with intralobar sequestration (ILS). There were 10 cases of left lower lobectomy, 3 cases of right lower lobectomy, 4 cases of left sequestrectomy, 3 cases of right sequestrectomy and 1 case of total pneumonectomy. Results Postoperative pathology confirmed all cases of PS, including 7 cases of ELS and 14 cases of ILS. Seven patients were diagnosed to have PS by preoperative diagnostic procedures. During the surgery, we found aberrant supporting arteries from the general circulation in 18 cases among which 11 were supported by the thoracic aorta, 6 by the abdominal aorta and 1 by both the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The diameter of the aberrant artery was between 0.2 cm and 1.1 cm (mean 0.7 cm). Double ligation and transfixion were performed during the operation. In addition, we found venous drainage through the inferior pulmonary vein in 3 patients and double ligation was performed. No perioperative death or complications occurred. Followup was done till January 2009 on all the patients but one with a followup rate of 95.2% (20/21). The followup time ranged from 12 to 67 months. All patients survived well except that 1 died from liver metastasis 2 years after the operation because of lung cancer. Conclusion PS is rare and its symptoms are nonspecific, which can cause misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The diagnosis of PS mainly depends on CT, CTA, MRI and selected arteriography. Once diagnosed, PS should be removed by surgery. During the surgery, aberrant vessels should be separated and treated with double ligation and transfixion. As for those big aberrant vessels, transfixion can be performed after vascular decompression.
ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) and perceived stress in suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients quarantined in hospital.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 93 suspected COVID-19 patients in one of grade-A tertiary hospital in Southwest China was carried out to evaluate the incidence of perceived stress and post-traumatic stress symptoms among these patients using the standardized Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5), respectively. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between PCL-5 and PSS-10 scores.ResultsTotal PSS-10 and PCL-5 scores were 16.7±5.2 and 17.0±11.6 in 93 suspected COVID-19 patients, respectively. Positive correlations between PSS-10 and PCL-5 scores were detected (Pearson’s r=0.722, P=0.000).ConclusionsThe occurrence and development of PSTD of suspected COVID-19 patients have the relationship with the early perceived pressure. It suggests that medical staff should identify and intervene the perceived pressure level of patients who are under quarantine as suspected COVID-19 early and effectively, so as to reduce the occurrence of PTSD.
Giant extralobar pulmonary sequestration in newborns is still relatively rare in pulmonary diseases, and there are few relevant studies published. A neonate with the giant extralobar pulmonary sequestration accompanied by severe pleural effusion was reported here. After 12 days of birth, the diseased lung tissue was surgically extracted. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged from the hospital. The case shows the advantage of early surgical treatment to extralobar pulmonary sequestration with severe pleural effusion in neonatal period.
