Objective To study the special traits of primiparae’s compliance with labor analgesia, so as to offer individualized analgesia solutions during spontaneous labor. Methods The uniparous primiparae with cephalic presentation between gestational weeks 38 and 40 were divided into two groups based on their educational background (college education or above, and high school education or below), each group with 20 cases. The demographical statistics of the two groups including their State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) grading, PCA results, and delivery situation were recorded and analyzed. Results Differences in age, height, and weight were not statisticallysignificant (Pgt;0.05); differences in T-AI were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05); differences in S-AI were statistically significant (Plt;0.05); differences in anxiety and numbers of adding anesthetics were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05); differences in failure to tolerate labor pains and requiring caesarean section were statistically significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Primiparae with higher educational degree tend to have higher S-AI grading and perform poorly in compliance with labor analgesia.
Objective To explore the effect of pain management by anesthesia nurses on labor analgesia. Methods A total of 100 parturient women in the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology between July and August 2015 were randomly divided into two groups: analgesia group and control group with 50 in each. Both two groups accepted labor analgesia routine maternity nursing. Analgesia group accepted maternal perinatal term pain management in addition to the routine nursing. Then we compared degree of pain during the production process, labor time and perineal injury between the two groups of women. Results The number of women with a labor pain degree of 0-Ⅲ in the analgesia group was respectively 36 (72%), 12 (24%), 2 (4%) and 0 (0%), and the number in the control group was respectively 23 (46%), 17 (34%), 8 (16%), and 2 (4%). The above difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=–2.908, P =0.004). The number of women with intact perineum, perineal injury of lateral and median cut, and Ⅰ-Ⅲ degree laceration in the analgesia group was respectively 31 (62%), 7 (14%), 8 (16%), 4 (8%) and 0 (0%); and the number in the control group was respectively 21 (42%), 12 (24%), 10 (20%), 7 (14%) and 0 (0%), also with significant difference between the two groups (Z =–2.028, P =0.043). The first and second labor stage of the analgesia group was (462.32±101.27) and (63.58±10.38) minutes, and was (568.27±113.28) and (76.92±11.24) minutes in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the third labor stage (5.78±3.02) and (5.97±2.96) minutes, (P=0.654). Conclusions The implementation of pain management by anesthesia nurses on labor analgesia can significantly reduce maternal labor pain, shorten the time of labor, and the condition of the perineal injury is mild and easily acceptable. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids, acetaminophen and antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of intrapartum fever in labor analgesia. MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, VIP, and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of glucocorticoids, acetaminophen, and antimicrobial drugs for intrapartum fever in labor analgesia from inception to June 30, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included literature. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 1 337 women were included. Meta-analysis showed that the use of glucocorticoids reduced the incidence of intrapartum fever in women with labor analgesia compared with the control group (OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.33 to 0.82, P<0.01). But there was no statistically significant difference between acetaminophen or antimicrobial drugs and the control group. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the use of glucocorticoids can reduce the incidence of intrapartum fever in labor analgesia, but the use of acetaminophen and antimicrobial drugs cannot reduce the incidence of intrapartum fever. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Uveitis is a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the uveal tract, retina, retinal blood vessels and vitreous. Due to its complex etiology, various entities, diverse and lack of constancy in treatment, some patients can experience visual impairment and even loss. In view of the fact that blindness caused by uveitis is mostly incurable and occurs usually in young and middle-aged people, it accounts for an important part of blinding eye diseases and has attracted worldwide attention. With the continuous development of precision medicine, clinicians will face new problems and challenges in disease diagnosis, and further in-depth research is needed to explore more optimized and efficient diagnostic processes and examinations to improve the diagnosis of uveitis in China.
Objective To evaluate the teaching effect of case-based learning (CBL) combined with team-based learning (TBL) pedagogy in laboratory diagnostics education. Methods The data of the undergraduate clinical-medical students who completed the laboratory diagnostics course between September 2021 and July 2023 at West China School of Medicine of Sichuan University were retrospectively collected. Among them, the undergraduates of grade 2020 adopted the CBL+TBL combined pedagogy, while the undergraduates of grade 2019 assumed the traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) teaching method. Based on the cluster sampling method with the whole grade as the sampling unit, comparative effectiveness was assessed via examination scores and questionnaire feedback. Results A total of 303 students received the CBL+TBL teaching method (CBL+TBL group), while 289 students received the LBL teaching method (LBL group). Compared with the LBL group, the CBL+TBL group had higher scores on the clinical case discussion (90.28±4.05 vs. 88.39±5.19, P<0.001) while lower scores on the theoretical quiz (83.89±12.55 vs. 88.77±10.46, P<0.001). The overall performance of the CBL+TBL group was worse than the LBL group (61.28±3.83 vs. 61.98±3.98, P=0.028). A total of 161 valid copies of questionnaire were collected from the CBL+TBL group. Among them, more than 70% of the students believed that CBL+TBL pedagogy could improve learning motivation, independent learning ability, and team communication and assistance ability. Compared with the LBL teaching mode, 74.5% of the students preferred the CBL+TBL pedagogical approach. Conclusion The CBL+TBL pedagogy can help to improve autonomic learning, teamwork, and problem-solving ability, and a combination with LBL teaching may be utilized to enhance theoretical scores.
Objective To investigate and analyze the cognition of intraspinal labor analgesia (ILA) of women in labor and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 322 women in labor in West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between May and September 2015 were investigated by questionnaire, which included the general situation, the pregnancy status, the understanding for labor pain, and the cognition of ILA. Investigator introduced the knowledge of ILA to them after the investigation, and then they were re-investigated for the choice of ILA. Results Only 22.67% of these women in labor knowed ILA clearly, 53.42% heared it but did not understand, and 49.38% liked to use it. The proportion of women in labor who liked to use it increased to 81.89% after introduction, and the difference was significant (P<0.001). Among all factors, the acknowledgement level of ILA and the choice to use it were mainly related to the family awareness concept for labor pain. Conclusions The cognition of ILA of women in labor is not enough, and their using desire is not strong. The family awareness concept is one of the important factors. The education and advertise to the women in labor and their family members after admiting to labor room can increase the choice rate of ILA significantly.
