Objective To explore the effect of the feed-forward control on safety nursing of ophthalmologic day surgery patients under general anesthesia. Methods A total of 623 ophthalmologic day surgery patients under general anesthesia were retrospectively selected into the control group, who adapted the routine nursing in the Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center from January to December 2015; a total of 1 210 ophthalmologic day surgery patients under general anesthesia were retrospectively selected into the observation group, who received the feed-forward control of nursing safety management on the basis of routine nursing care from January to December 2016. The incidence rate of the adverse events and potential safety hazards and satisfaction rate were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of the adverse events and potential safety hazards in the observation group (0.83%, 10/1 210) was lower than that in the control group (3.37%, 21/623), the satisfaction rate in the observation group (98.67%) was higher than that in the control group (97.11%), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of feed-forward control in the safety care of patients during the ophthalmologic day surgery under general anesthesia can effectively reduce the incidence of adverse events and potential safety hazards, and ensure the safety of medical care.
ObjectiveTo observe the effects and security of dexmedetomidine in combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) for laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP). MethodsFrom January 2010 to January 2013, we selected 90 patients who were going to receive TEP surgery as our study subjects. The patients were divided into three groups:M1, M2 and M3 with 30 patients in each. The patients had left lateral position, and anesthesia was done between 3-4 lumbar epidural line. Injection of 0.5% bupivacaine 2 mL was carried out, and epidural catheter was 3-5 cm. Anesthesia plane was adjusted from the chest 4 or 6 vertebra to the sacral vertebra. The three groups of patients were treated with micro pump using dexmedetomidine given at a pre-charge of 0.5 μg/kg, and then group M1 was maintained by 0.3 μg/(kg·h), M2 by 0.5 μg/(kg·h), and M3 by 0.7 μg/(kg·h). The changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, respiration and pulse oximetry (SpO2) were observed at each time point, and bispectral index (BIS) monitor and Ramsay sedation score test were also conducted. ResultsThe changes of MAP, heart rate and respiration in group M1 were not obvious; the Ramsay score for group M1 was 2 to 3, and BIS value after pre-charge was 65-84. For group M2, MAP, heart rate and respiration had a slight decline; Ramsay score was 3-5 points, and BIS value was 60-79. In group M3, patients had a milder decline in their MAP and respiration; the heart rate declined obviously after receiving dexmedetomidine and one patient with severe decline of the heart rate alleviated after active treatment; Ramsay score was 5 to 6 points, and BIS value was between 55 and 75. There was little change in SpO2 in all the three groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionContinuous injection of dexmedetomidine at 0.3-0.5 μg/(kg·h) in CSEA is an alternative way for anesthesia, which can effectively promote sedation and reduce pain and discomfort.
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of general anesthesia with laryngeal mask and preoperative inhalation of budesonide aerosol on the incidence of respiratory adverse events during pediatric anesthesia recovery. MethodsA total of 100 child patients scheduled to undergoing inguinal hernia repair between December 2012 and February 2014 were randomly divided into two groups (group A and B) with 50 in each. All the patients underwent general anesthesia with laryngeal mask, while patients in group B inhaled budesonide aerosol before anesthesia. Then, we observed the incidence of adverse events in both groups, including laryngospasm, respiratory tract infection, and pulmonary complications. ResultsCompared with group A, patients in group B had a lower incidence of adverse events (P<0.05). ConclusionPreoperative application of budesonide aerosol inhalation can significantly reduce adverse events in the process of anesthesia recovery in children.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of non-intubation anesthesia in thoracic surgery.MethodsFrom September 2017 to December 2019, 296 patients were operated at department of thoracic surgery in our hospital. There were 167 males and 129 females with an average age of 50.69±12.95 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were intubated: 150 patients were in a non-intubation group, including 83 males and 67 females with an average age of 49.91±13.59 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years, and 146 patients were in an intubation group including 84 males and 62 females with an average age of 51.49±12.26 years, ranging from 16 to 74 years. Intraoperative data, postoperative recovery, inflammatory response of the two groups were compared.ResultsThere was no statistical difference between the two groups in operation time, blood loss, the lowest oxygen saturation or other indicators (P>0.05). But the highest partial pressure of carbon dioxide of the non-intubation group was higher than that of the intubation group (P=0.012). The non-intubation group was superior to the intubation group in postoperative recovery and inflammatory response (P<0.05).ConclusionThe non-intubation anesthesia is safe and maneuverable in thoracic surgery, and it has some advantages in accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TFTAVR) under local anesthesia (LA) and general anesthesia (GA). MethodsElectronic databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang and CBM were searched to collect randomized controlled trial and cohort studies on clinical outcomes of TFTAVR under LA and GA from inception to September 2020. Two authors independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of studies, and a meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 30 studies involving 52 087 patients were included in this study. There were 18 719 patients in the LA group and 33 368 patients in the GA group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the in-hospital all-cause mortality rate [RR=0.65, 95%CI (0.45, 0.94), P=0.021], 30-day all-cause mortality rate [RR=0.73, 95%CI (0.62, 0.86), P＜0.001], 30-day stroke [RR=0.82, 95%CI (0.68, 0.98), P=0.025], cardiac arrest [RR=0.50, 95%CI (0.34, 0.73), P＜0.001], ICU stay time [RR=−6.86, 95%CI (−12.31, −1.42), P=0.013], and total hospital stay time [RR=−2.02, 95%CI (−2.59, −1.45), P＜0.001] in the LA group were all better than those in the GA group. There was no significant difference in the in-hospital stroke [RR=0.83, 95%CI (0.69, 1.00), P=0.053], in-hospital myocardial infarction (MI) [RR=1.74, 95%CI (0.43, 7.00), P=0.434], or 30-day MI [RR=0.77, 95%CI (0.42, 1.42), P=0.404] between the two groups. ConclusionLA provides a safe and effective way to induce sedation without intubation, and may be a good alternative to GA for TFTAVR.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of basic anesthesia combined with local anesthesia in the preoperative localization of multiple pulmonary nodules. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent preoperative localization for multiple pulmonary nodules resection under single-port thoracoscopy in Nanjing Brain Hospital from July 2023 to September 2023 were extracted. They were divided into a group A and a group B according to the localization method. The patients in the group A were localized under local anesthesia, and the patients in the group B were localized with basic anesthesia combined with local anesthesia. The basic clinical characteristics, localization success rate, incidence of localization complications, localization time, and pain score of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Finally, we included 200 patients with 100 patients in each group. There were 49 males and 51 females at age of 25-77 (50.94±14.29) years in the group A. There are 45 males and 55 females at age of 24-78 (48.25±14.04) years in the group B. The incidence of localization complications (4% vs. 13%, P=0.04), localization time [(19.90±8.66) min vs. (15.23±5.98) min, P<0.01], and pain score[ (2.01±2.09) vs. (3.29±2.54), P<0.01] in the group B were significantly lower than those in the group A, and the differences were statistically significant. The localization success rate of the group B was significantly higher than that of the group A (98% vs. 92%, P=0.04), and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Mobile CT combined with basic anesthesia for preoperative localization of multiple pulmonary nodules is highly safe, has a high success rate, and provides high patient comfort, making it a valuable approach for clinical promotion.
Objective To explore the timing of indwelling urinary catheter removal in male patients undergoing orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia by a prospective randomized controlled study. Methods Male patients who underwent orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia in the First People’s Hospital of Shuangliu District between September 2019 and January 2021 were selected prospectively. The patients were randomly assigned to group A (pull out the catheter before anesthesia) and group B (pull out the catheter within 24 hours after anesthesia) at a ratio of 1∶1 by sortition. The age, operation duration, operation site, heart rate when pulling out the catheter, first urination, urinary tract infection, patient comfort score, nursing satisfaction score and patient satisfaction related indicators of the two groups were recorded and analyzed. Results A total of 120 patients were included in the study. All patients successfully completed the trial without dropping out or quitting. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, operation duration and operation site (P>0.05). No urinary tract infection occurred in both groups. There was no significant difference in the first urination between the two groups (P>0.05). The heart rate of patients in group A when pulling out the catheter was slower than that of group B [(74.62 ± 11.38) vs. (84.52 ± 8.98) times/min], and the satisfaction of patients in group A (group A: 46 cases were satisfied, 11 cases were relatively satisfied, 3 cases were dissatisfied; group B: 17 cases were satisfied, 25 cases were relatively satisfied, 18 cases were dissatisfied), comfort score (17.82±2.73 vs. 16.68±2.13), and nursing satisfaction score (19.62±1.59 vs. 16.32±2.05) were better than those in group B (P<0.05). Conclusions For male patients who need catheterization before orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia, pulling out the catheter before waking up after anesthesia can effectively reduce the physiological stress reaction of patients, reduce discomfort, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce the workload of nurses after surgery, which is conducive to early rehabilitation exercise of patients.
ObjectiveTo summarize the management of anesthesia during robotic off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the da Vinci surgical system in minimal thoractomy. MethodsFrom May 2011 to December 2014, 24 patients (20 males and 4 females) at the average age of 62.1±12.8 years underwent robotic off-pump CABG with the da Vinci surgical system in our hospital. All the patients underwent the continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring, endotracheal intubation with the double-lumen tube after induction of general anesthesia, fiber bronchoscope positioning, intraoperative application of one-lung ventilation, placing the Swan-Ganz floating catheter, and monitoring the echocar-diography (TEE) and blood gas analysis and indexes of hemodynamics. ResultsAll the patients were stable during the anesthesia induction period. There was no severe hypoxemia and hypercapnia. The surgery was successful and there was no thoracotomy. All the patients left off breathing machine postoperatively.The duration of mechanical ventilation was 5.3±2.8 hours. All patients were moved out from ICU in 18 hours.There was no thoracotomy for hemostasis after surgery. All the patients were discharged on the fourth or fifth day postoperatively. There was no death relevant to surgery or perioperative complications. There was no recurrence of cardiovascular events on the 30th day,3 months and 6 months postoperative follow-up. ConclusionThis anesthesia method is safe and effective. It is a rapid recovery way with the fewer complications, less suffering of the patients, reliable anesthesia management and high satisfaction of the patients'.
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) in preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia. Methods From May to December 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to conduct an APAIS questionnaire survey on patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and the reliability and validity of the scale were analyzed. ResultsA total of 460 questionnaires were distributed and 444 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid response rate of 96.5%. The Cronbach α of APAIS was 0.896, the Guttman split-half reliability was 0.811, and the content validity index was 0.891. The model fit was 12.122 for the chi-square fit index/degree of freedom, 0.916 for the goodness-of-fit index, 0.902 for the value-added fit index, 0.079 for the root mean square error of approximation, and 0.946 for the comparative fit index. The APAIS anxiety subscale score was positively correlated with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale score (r=0.518, P<0.001). Conclusion The APAIS has good reliability and validity for evaluating the level of preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia, but the application of the scale in other conditions requires further testing.
Objective To investigate the effect of adductor canal block combined with local infiltration anesthesia on the rehabilitation of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 104 patients who met the selection criteria for the first unilateral TKA between March 2017 and August 2017 were included in the study. They were randomly divided into trial group (53 cases) and control group (51 cases). In the trial group, the adductor canal block with intraoperative local infiltration anesthesia were performed. In the control group, only intraoperative local infil-tration anesthesia was performed. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, diagnosis, effected side, and the preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, length of stay, and complications were compared between 2 groups, as well as visual analogue scale (VAS) score of incision at rest and during activity, the range of motion (ROM) of knee flexion and extension activity, limb swelling (thigh circumference), walking distance, and pain VAS score while walking. Results The operation time of the trial group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (t=–2.861, P=0.005). However, there was no significant difference in length of stay between 2 groups (t=–0.975, P=0.332). The wound effusion occurred in 1 patient of trial group and 2 of control group; hematoma occurred in 2 patients of trial group and 3 of control group; no symptom of intermuscular venous thrombosis occurred in 1 patient in each of 2 groups; ecchymosis occurred in 14 patients of trial group and 15 of control group; there was no significant difference in the incidence of related complications between 2 groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the preoperative VAS score at rest and during activity, ROM of knee flexion and extension activity, and thigh circumference between 2 groups (P>0.05). However, there were significant differences in the VAS score at rest and during activity after 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours, ROM of knee flexion and extension activity after 1 and 2 days, and the walking distance on the day of discharge, pain VAS scores while walking after 1 and 2 days and on the day of discharge, and thigh circumference after 1 day between 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion For the primary TKA, the adductor canal block combined with local infiltration anesthesia can early relieve the initial pain of the incision, shorten the operation time, and promote the mobility and functional recovery of the knee joint.
