Objective To explore whether bundled care for anesthesia management can reduce the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods The data of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients admitted to the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between July and November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a bundled care group and a control group based on whether anesthesia management was implemented according to the bundled care. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative anesthesia management methods, postoperative conditions, and incidence of PONV between the two groups of patients were analyzed and compared. Results A total of 314 patients were included. Among them, there were 124 cases in the bundled care group and 190 cases in the control group; PONV occurred in 52 cases, the incidence of PONV was 16.6% (52/314). Except for surgical time and postoperative incision infiltration (P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesia time, airway establishment, and postoperative analgesic use between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of PONV between the bundled care group and the control group (17 vs. 35 cases; χ2=1.205, P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that PONV was correlated with gender [odds ratio=0.107, 95% confidence interval (0.030, 0.375), P<0.001], and using bundled care [odds ratio=0.388, 95% confidence interval (0.169, 0.894), P=0.026]. Conclusions Women are at high risk of PONV among patients undergoing day laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The risk of PONV is lower when using bundled care.
ObjectiveTo explore the preventive role of maintaining constant pressure of the endotracheal catheter cuff on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). MethodsFrom January to December 2015, 96 patients of type Ⅱ respiratory failure were selected as the trial group who underwent intubation and mechanical ventilation more than 48 hours in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We used pressure gauges to measure the endotracheal catheter cuff pressure regularly and maintained a constant pressure in addition to the application of artificial airway cluster management. We recorded the initial pressure value which was estimated by pinching with finger and set initial pressure to 30 cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa). We measured endotracheal catheter cuff pressure and recorded it during different intervals. We reviewed 88 patients with the same disease as the control group who only accepted artificial airway cluster management between January and December 2014. Mechanical ventilation time, VAP occurrence time, ICU admission time, the incidence of VAP were recorded and analyzed for both the two groups of patients. ResultsIn the trial group, the initial pressure of endotracheal catheter cuff which was estimated by pinching with finger showed that only 11.46% of pressure was between 25 and 30 cm H2O and 82.29% of the pressure was higher than 30 cm H2O. We collected endotracheal catheter cuff pressure values during different interval time by using pressure gauges to maintain a constant management. The ratio at the pressure between 25 and 30 cm H2O was respectively 41.32%, 43.75%, 64.20%, 76.54%, 91.13%, and 91.85%. ICU admission time, mechanical ventilation time in patients of the trial group decreased more, compared with the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.171, P<0.001; t=4.061, P<0.001). The VAP occurrence time in patients of the trial group was later than the control group (t=2.247, P<0.001). ConclusionThe endotracheal catheter cuff pressure estimated by pinching with finger has errors. We recommend using pressure gauges to detect pressure every four hours, which utilizes minimal time to maintain effective pressure. The method of artificial airway of cluster management combined with the pattern of maintaining constant endotracheal catheter cuff pressure can shorten ICU admission time, mechanical ventilation time and delay the occurrence of VAP.
Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital was built within 12 days during the key period of fighting against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan. It was a field infectious disease hospital with 1500 beds. Due to the emergency of the epidemic situation, the operation mode of “parallel of construction, acceptance, training and treatment” was employed. During the peak period, nearly 3000 medical workers and 13000 builders worked on the same site. In 67 days, 2 011 patients with COVID-19 were treated. Through the bundle infection prevention and control (IPC) measures, Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital achieved zero infection, zero accident, and low level pollution of SARS-CoV-2 (0.3%) by environment monitoring. The bundle IPC measures of Leishenshan Hospital not only provided prevention and control experience for other field infectious disease hospitals at domestic and abroad during the period of COVID-19, but also put forward ideas and work flow for other medical institutions to deal with emerging infectious diseases.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of bundle strategies on the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in intensive care unit (ICU), in order to effectively prevent and control the severe situation of multiple drug-resistant bacteria in ICU.MethodsWe selected patients who admitted into the ICU from January 2016 to December 2017 as study subjects, and monitored 6 types of MDROs. Basic information was surveyed and collected from January to December 2016 (before intervention), while bundle strategies on MDROs were implemented from January to December 2017 (after intervention), including issusing isolation orders, hanging isolation marks, wearing isolation clothes, using medical articles exclusively, cleaning and disinfecting environment, implementing hand hygiene, etc. Then we compared the MDRO detection rate, nosocomial infection rate, MDRO nosocomial infection rate, and compliance rates of interventions between the two periods.ResultsThe MDRO detection rate before intervention was 77.10%, and that after intervention was 49.12%, the difference between the two periods was statistically significant (χ2=69.834, P<0.001). The nosocomial infection rate of ICU decreased from 23.51% before intervention to 15.23% after intervention, the MDRO nosocomial infection rate decreased from 13.70% before intervention to 5.84% after intervention, and the differences between the two periods were statistically significant (χ2=8.594, P=0.003; χ2=13.722, P<0.001). The compliance rates of doctor’s isolation orders, hanging isolation marks, wearing isolation clothes, using medical articles exclusively, cleaning and disinfecting environment, and hand hygiene, as well as the correct rate of hand hygiene after intervention (92.12%, 93.55%, 81.77%, 84.24%, 82.90%, 77.39%, and 96.37%) were significantly higher than those before intervention (31.94%, 52.00%, 23.43%, 48.18%, 67.16%, 59.46%, and 88.64%), and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.001).ConclusionThe implementation of the above bundle strategies on the prevention and control of MDROs can decrease the MDRO detection rate and MDRO nosocomial infection rate.
Objective To investigate the effect of a real-time compliance dashboard to help reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia ( VAP) with ventilator bundle. Methods 240 patients who were admitted into the intensive care unit ( ICU) of Shougang Hospital of Peking University and had received mechanical ventilation ( MV) for over 48 hours, between January 2010 and November 2011, were studied prospectively. The patients were divided into two groups by random number table, ie. a dashboard group ( n = 120) with implementation of a real-time compliance dashboard to help reduce VAP with ventilator bundle, and a control group ( n=120) with implementation of usually routine order to help reduce VAP with ventilator bundle. The success rate of ventilator bundle implementation, incidence of VAP, duration of MV, duration within ICU, mortality within 28 days, cost within ICU were compared between two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the success rate of ventilator bundle implementation obviously increased ( 81.6% vs. 52.5%) , incidence of VAP ( 14. 5/1000 days of MV vs. 36.2 /1000 days of MV) , duration of MV [ 5( 4,7) days vs. 8( 6,11) days] , duration within ICU [ 8( 6,12) days vs. 13( 8,16) days] , mortality of 28 days ( 12.6% vs. 28.6% ) , and cost within ICU ( 36,437 vs. 58,942) in the dashboard group obviously reduced ( Plt;0.05) . Conclusions Implementation of a real time compliance dashboard to help reduce VAP with ventilator bundle can obviously improve medical personnel compliance and reduce incidence of VAP, duration of MV, duration within ICU, mortality and cost in ICU than those of routine medical order to help reduce VAP with ventilator bundle.
ObjectiveTo observe the effects of cluster therapy combined with anisodamine, dexamethasone and ambroxol on arterial blood gas, inflammatory cytokines and pulmonary pathological changes by making an early (<48 h) primary blast lung injury model in rats. MethodsEighty Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups, ie. a control group (n=5), an injury group (n=15), an ambroxol treatment group (n=15), a dexamethasone treatment group, a scopolamine treatment group (n=15), a combination of ambroxol, dexamethasone and anisodamine group (n=15). The treatment groups were injected intraperitoneally with ambroxol 46.7 mg/kg (three times a day) or (and) dexamethasone at 5 mg·kg–1·d–1 or (and) anisodamine at a dose of 3.33 mg/kg (three times a day). The rats in the injury group were injected intraperitoneally with an equal volume of normal saline. Respiratory rate and weight change were observed before and after injury. Five rats were sacrificed at 6 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after injury in each experimental group. Arterial blood gas analysis, Yelverton pathological score, lung tissue wet/dry weight ratio, serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured. The lung histopathology was observed. ResultsAfter lung blast injury, the rats in the injury group showed progressive respiratory acidosis, and hypoxemia increased with the increase of IL-6 and TNF-α in a time-dependent manner. The PaO2 decreased in the groups with ambroxol, dexamethasone and anisodamine alone or in combination with anisodamine, and the contents of serum IL-6 and TNF-α decreased. Pathological edema and inflammatory infiltration of lung tissue were alleviated significantly. ConclusionsAfter treatment with dexamethasone, anisodamine and ambroxol after lung blast injury, blood gas analysis is improved, inflammatory factor level is decreased and lung injury is alleviated, indicating that the three drugs can treat lung detonation injury in rats. The cluster therapy is superior to the single drug therapy.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of new bundle interventions on medical staff’s cognition of occupational exposure protection and exposure rate, and provide evidence for reducing medical staff’s occupational exposure.MethodsThe 1 435 medical practitioners in 37 clinical/technical departments of Nanchong Central Hospital were selected as the research objects. Bundle intervention strategies about occupational exposure for whole population and high risk population were implemented, and the medical staff’s cognition of occupational exposure, occurrence of occupational exposure, and post-exposure reporting in 2017 (before intervention) and 2018 (after intervention) were investigated and compared to evaluate the intervention effects.ResultsThe numbers of valid survey forms collected before intervention and after intervention were 1 160 and 1 421, respectively. The total awareness rate increased from 91.10% before intervention to 96.10% after intervention (P<0.001). The exposure rate and average rank of exposure frequency after intervention were lower than those before intervention (10.98% vs. 17.50%, 1 250.74 vs. 1 340.32), the reporting rate of initial exposure after intervention (69.23%) was higher than that before intervention (57.64%), and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionThrough gradually implementing the new bundle interventions, medical staff can improve the cognition of occupational exposure, reduce the occurrence of occupational exposure, improve the enthusiasm of reporting, and create a safe atmosphere.
