【Abstract】 Objective To explore the cause of the perioprative period compl ication of scandinavian total anklereplacement(STAR) and to summarize the experience in the treatment and prevention. Methods From March 1999 toNovember 2006, 35 patients were given total ankle replacement(TAR) with STAR system. There were 19 males and 16 femaleswith an average age of 50.5 years (27 to 68 years), including 12 cases of posttraumatic arthritis, 8 cases of osteoarthritis and 15cases of rheumatoid arthritis. All patients had pain of ankle joint, swell ing and l imitation of joint motion. The disease coursewas 9-64 months. The curative effect was estimated by Kofoed total ankle scoring system. The mean preoperative ankle scorewas 29(6-48); the mean pain score was 18.3(0-35); the mean function score was 11.7(6-18); and the mean activity score was9.2(3-12). The type of all compl ications were record, and its cause, prevetion and treatment were analyszed. Results Thirtythreepatients achieved heal ing by first intention, 2 achieved delayed union because of infection. Twenty-eight patients werefollowed up 3-80 months (mean 43.5 months). Medial malleolus fracture occurred in 2 cases, unstable ankle joint introversion in2 cases, l imitation of ankle dorsiextension in 1 case and 1 case had hypoesthesia at intermediate dorsal skin of foot and 3rd-5thmetatarsal skin without obvious dysfunction; all were treated with symptomatic medication. The postoperative mean ankle scorewas 85.5 (58-95); the mean pain score was 48.3(35-50); the mean function score was 20.7(18-30); the mean activity score was17.2(16-20). There were statistically significant differences when compared with preoperative score(P lt; 0.01). The cl inical resultswere excellent in 16 patients, good in 9 patients and fair in 3 patients. The X-ray films showed no loosening and subsidence ofprosthesis. Conclusion Although STAR can retain the functions of the operated joint, it has its special compl ications. It isimportant to obey operation principle with proficient operative technique, to strictly control surgical indication and to intensifyperioperative period treatment so as to decrease the compl ications.
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of severe retinal degenerative diseases leading to permanent visual impairment. IRDs are the major cause of irreversible blindness in children and working age groups. Gene therapy is a new clinical treatment method and currently the only clear and effective treatment for IRDs, while, there are still risks in clinical research and application. How to standardize perioperative management and reduce the potential risks of treatment is one of the keys to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment. However, there is no systematic and standardized guidance on the perioperative management for IRDs gene therapy. Therefore, in order to standardize the perioperative management, the Fundus Disease Group of Ophthalmology Society of Chinese Medical Association and Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized domestic experts to put forward standardized opinions on the perioperative management of IRDs gene therapy in China after repeated discussion and combined with domestic and foreign research experience, so as to provide clinicians with reference and application in clinical research and practice.
Objective To investigate the status of nutrition, nutritional support, and postoperative nutrition-related complications in patients with spinal deformity during orthopedic perioperative period. Methods From February to August 2021, patients who underwent spinal orthopedic surgery for spinal deformity in Peking University Third Hospital were collected. A survey was conducted using self-designed questionnaire, including patient’s general information (gender, age, and type of spinal deformity), nutrition-related information (risks of malnutrition, forms of nutritional support), and postoperative nutrition-related complications. Results A total of 39 patients with spinal deformity were enrolled, and 46.2% (18 cases) were at risk of malnutrition. There were a total of 174 times of nutritional support, and 96.0% (167 times) were parenteral nutrition. The patients’ energy intake from nutritional support accounted for 34.41% of the daily goal energy intake averagely. At admission, one day after operation, and at discharge, the prealbumin was (215.51±34.69), (172.85±31.85), and (163.67±29.15) mg/L, respectively, and the hemoglobin was (138.08±15.67), (119.92±18.01), and (117.69±14.76) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower one day after operation and at discharge than those at admission (P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications during hospitalization was 5.1% (2/39). Conclusions Patients undergoing spinal deformity orthopedics are at high risk of overall malnutrition during the perioperative period, their clinical nutritional interventions are mostly based on parenteral nutrition with a single infusion of nutritional preparations, and the nutritional status is not significantly improved. However, the incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications is low. Standardized nutrition interventions should be strengthened in the future.
Perioperative management of 58 hypertensive patients suffering from surgical disease is reported. We emphasize that before operation the blood pressure should be adequately controlled, and heart function promoted. It is safer that the diastolic pressure is controlled under 14 kPa before operation. During operation we strictly observe the change of the blood pressure and manage it in time. Analgesic and antihypertensive agents are used after operation.
Objective To explore the application effect of process optimization in perioperative venous access management. Methods A total of 205 general surgery patients in the Operating Room of Cheng Du Shang Jin Nan Fu Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to May 2018 were selected as the control group, and 205 general surgery patients from June to August 2018 were selected as the observation group. The traditional management process was used in the control group, and the process optimization management was performed in the observation group. The establishment of venous access and related complications between the two groups of patients, as well as the satisfaction of patients and staff before and after the process optimization were compared. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, education level, operation type, anesthesia method, operation duration, or intraoperative intravenous infusion channels between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, educational background, job title, job nature, or working years of the staff participating in the satisfaction survey before and after the process optimization (P>0.05). The rate of repetitive venous puncture (15.61% vs. 58.05%) and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach (10.73% vs. 52.20%) in the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of tube blockage, detubation, or phlebitis/exudation between the two groups (P>0.05). After process optimization, patient satisfaction (22.91±3.43 vs. 17.44±4.90) and staff satisfaction (28.17±2.56 vs. 20.65±3.71) were higher than before optimization, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The process optimization of venous access management for perioperative patients can effectively reduce the rate of venous repeated venipuncture and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach, reduce invasive operations on patients, reduce the ineffective work of nurses, avoid the waste of medical resources such as manpower and materials, and improve the satisfaction of patients and staff. It is worthy of promotion and application.
ObjectiveTo evaluate rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period by intervention-control study in order to provide a foundation for the clinical antibiotic use and management. MethodsThe data of the preventive use of antibiotics for hernia patients from January to October, 2010 in perioperative period were collected and compared. Interventions on patients from January to October, 2011 were carried out. ResultsIn the intervention group, the first three antibiotics used were changed from azlocillin, mezlocillin and aztreonam before intervention to cefazolin, clindamycin and azlocillin after intervention. Before intervention, antibiotics were first used after surgery for surgical prophylaxis, while after intervention, antibiotics were first used within 30 minutes before surgery or at the start of induction of anesthesia. The preventive medication time decreased from (3.50±2.07) days to (0.88±1.07) days (t'=14.601, P=0.000), the hospitalization days of post-surgery decreased from (5.17±1.90) days to (3.77±1.61) days (t'=7.313, P=0.000), the cost of antibiotics decreased from (342.39±415.50) yuan to (54.08±80.83) yuan (t'=8.831, P=0.000), the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in expenses for medicine declined from (47.53±25.51)% to (12.49±13.46)% (t'=15.776, P=0.000), and the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in hospitalization expenses declined from (6.59±5.49)% to (1.07±1.35)% (t'=12.662, P=0.000). The difference in inappropriate use of antibiotic drugs before and after prevention, such as choice of preventive drugs, preoperative medication occasion, course of postoperative medication and no indication of drug combination, had statistical significances (P<0.05). ConclusionThe intervention-control study shows that the rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period can be improved, and the average hospitalization days and the cost of antibiotics can be reduced by intervention.
Objective To explore the effect of fast track rehabilitation in patients with gastric cancer during perioperative period. Methods Eighty patients were randomly divided into conventional method group （n=40） and fast track rehabilitation group （n=40）, and to compare the levels of total lymphocyte count （TLC） , C-reaction protein （CRP），IgG， IgM， IgA， CD3＋， CD4＋， CD8＋， and CD4＋/CD8＋ in serum on the days of 1 d before operation and 1 and 3 d after operation，and to record the duration of fever，first ventilation time of flatus， postoperative hospital stay time，and the postoperative complications. Results The first ventilation time after operation was advanced in patients of fast track rehabilitation group， and the postoperative fever time and hospital stay time after operation of patients was shorter in fast track rehabilitation group than that in conventional method group （P＜0.05）. The incidence difference of complications in two groups had not statistic significance （P＞0.05）. The TLC on 1 d after operation were lower than that on 1 d before operation in two groups, and the CRP values of 1 d after operation were higher than that of 1 d before operation in two groups （P＜0.01）. Compared with 1 d before operation, the CRP value on 3 day after operation in fast track rehabilitation group was lower than that in conventional method group, and the levels of IgG, IgM， IgA， CD3＋， CD4＋， CD8＋， and CD4＋/CD8＋ were higher than that in conventional group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions Fast track surgery applied to patients with gastric cancer during perioperative period is safe and efficient， which can mitigate the immunologic impairment of patients and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation．
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of different flaps in the treatment of skin defect of hell. METHODS: Forty-six patients with skin defect of hell were adopted in this study. There were 39 males and 7 females, 29 years old in average. Six different flaps were applied in the reconstructive operation, 14 plantaris medialis flaps, 4 flexor digitorum brevis muscle flaps, 3 abductor hallucis flaps, 7 latissimus dorsi flaps, 16 distal medialis flaps of leg pedicled with the cutaneous branch of posterior fibial artery, 2 foot dorsum flaps. RESULTS: All the flaps survived, primary healing of the wound in 45 cases and secondary healing in 1 case. Followed up for 3 months to 4 years, 43 patients obtained good flap sensation, the function of weight bearing were satisfied in 43 patients. CONCLUSION: The six different flaps should be applied according to patient’s condition individually. The sensation of flap is very important to the function of weight bearing.
Objective To determine the total blood loss and hidden blood loss associated with surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and to identify risk factors for blood loss. Methods From September 2002 to July 2006, the cl inical data from 138 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing initial operation were analysed prospectively. There were 44 males and 94 females, aging 56-78 years (mean 66.7 years). A simple posterior lumbar spinal decompression was used in 26 cases;posterior spinal canal decompression, interbody distraction Cage, and bone graft between transverse process was used in 54 cases; pedicle screw fixation, posterior decompression and bone graft between transverse process was used in 32 cases; posterior decompression, pedicle screw fixation, interbody Cage, and graft between transverse process was used in 26 cases . Before operation, 23 patients took aspirin, and after operation 15 patients had gastrointestinal bleeding. Intraoperative blood loss was calculated by the aspirator and observed blood loss intraoperation. The whole estimated blood loss was calculated according to the level of hemoglobin, blood volume and blood transfusion at the time of admission and after 3 and 4 days of operation. Results The blood loss intraoperation was (485.51 ± 143.75) mL. The estimated blood loss was (1 218.60 ± 306.86) mL, which was significantly higher than the intraoperational blood loss (P lt; 0.001). There was significant difference between the estimated blood loss and observed blood loss during surgeries (P lt; 0.001). There were significant differences in the estimated blood loss and observed blood loss during surgery between patients treated with aspirin and without aspirin (P lt; 0.001), between patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and whiout gastrointestinal bleeding (P lt; 0.001). Conclusion The total blood loss after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis is much greater than that of observed intra-operation. The type of surgery, treatment with aspirin and gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration can all independently increase blood loss.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of a new rehabilitation intervention model based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Healthy (ICF) concept in perioperative treatment on patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).MethodsFrom June 2017 to January 2019, AIS patients with Cobb angle below 80° were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by the method of randomized block design. The patients in the control group received routine perioperative rehabilitation intervention, while the patients in the experimental group received rehabilitation mode intervention based on ICF concept. The therapeutic effect of the two groups including functional and activity dimensions was observed.ResultsA total of 40 patients were included, with 20 in each group. Two patients withdrew the control group. On the fourth day after surgery, the total score of Modified Barthel Index (50.55±8.87 vs. 18.99±5.63; t=13.264, P<0.001) and Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) (3.68±0.13 vs. 3.27±0.11; t=10.355, P<0.001) in the experimental group were all better than those in the control group. In the SRS-22 scores, statistically significant differences in comparison of function (2.79±0.29 vs. 1.90±0.48; t=6.884, P<0.001), and self image (3.91±0.27 vs. 3.38±0.32; t=5.539, P<0.001) between the two groups were found. There was no statistically significant difference in pain indicators and muscle strength between the two groups in the two postoperative evaluations (P>0.05). ConclusionsThe treatment based on the concept of ICF can improve the daily living ability in the short term with the safe and acceptable premise. The concept of stimulating patient autonomy, improving patient independence, and promoting social treatment, may improve the overall state of the patients.
