Objective To explore the concept, contents and existing problems of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery. Methods The literatures about the applied status and opinion of the modality applied in the surgical treatment of the colorectal cancer and fundament investigation in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The fast-track programmes enhance recovery of the patients who underwent the colorectal resection with the combination of multimodal techniques and approaches. Conclusion The fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery is the typical modality of the multi-disciplinary treatment, this modality can decrease the complications and reduce the hospital stay with preserve the well physiological fundament of the patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the rescue value of emergency bronchoscopic interventional therapy in patients with malignant airway stenosis and to share the treatment experience. MethodsThe critical patients with malignant airway stenosis who needed urgent bronchoscopic interventional therapy from January, 2007 to January, 2022 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. The demographic and clinical data of intra-and-post the operation were collected. The rescue value and safety of emergency bronchoscopic intervention in the critical patients with malignant airway stenosis were evaluated, and the rescue process was summarized. ResultsForty-three patients were enrolled in the study, including 26 males and 17 females, with an average age of (61.6±11.4) years, including 20 cases of primary lung cancer and 23 cases of other malignant tumors; The main type of stenosis was endogenous (26 cases, 61.90%), followed by external pressure (12 cases, 28.57%) and mixed (4 cases, 9.52%) type. The stenosis site was almost the central airway (41 cases, 95.35%), and the main anesthesia method was general anesthesia (37 cases, 86.05%); Emergency bronchoscopic interventional therapy included local resection in 27 cases (62.79%), stent implantation in 12 cases (27.91%), exploration in 2 cases (4.65%), tumor biopsy in 1 case (2.33%), and adjustment of stent position in 1 case (2.33%); The dyspnea score and the degree of airway stenosis decreased significantly after interventional therapy (P<0.01); intraoperative complications occured in 21 cases and bleeding (19 cases) was the commonest one, short term postoperative complications occurred in 3 cases, including respiratory depression, glottic edema and airway spasm, respectively. ConclusionsEmergency bronchoscopic interventional therapy can quickly and effectively alleviate the severe airway obstruction caused by malignant tumor, and win time for the follow-up comprehensive treatment of tumor, but it needs close team cooperation and standardized rescue process.
Objective To discuss the safety of fast track surgery for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer. Methods Between February 2008 and February 2009, 157 cases of obstructive colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, 59 in fast track (FT) group and 98 in traditional group. Postoperative early rehabilitations and complications were studied and compared. Results The first time of passing flatus, oral intake and postoperative hospital stay in FT group were significantly earlier or less than those in traditional group (Plt;0.05), while there were no significant differences in time of first ambulation, time with use of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains between the 2 groups (Pgt;0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications rate between the 2 groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Fast track surgery for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer is safe and can accelerate recovery with decreasing length of hospital stay and improving life quality of the patients.
ObjectiveVideo electroencephalography (VEEG) monitoring for health education of elderly patients based on a process-based communication model, and explore the impact of this model on the success rate, negative emotions, nursing satisfaction, and active cooperation rate of such patients.MethodsFrom September 2017 to September 2019, 118 patients with suspected epilepsy, encephalitis and other diseases who required VEEG monitoring in Suining Central Hospital were selected for this study (patients aged 61 to 73 years; 54 males and 64 females). Patients were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method, 59 patients in each group.A group received routine nursing, and B group received health education based on the process communication model. The monitoring success rate, negative emotion, active cooperation rate, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe total effective rate in the B group was 86.44%, which was significantly higher than 76.27% in the A group (P<0.05). After nursing intervention, the scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups were significantly decreased, but the decline was greater in the B group (P<0.05). The active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction of the B group were significantly higher than those of the A group (P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with conventional nursing, health education based on process communication mode can significantly improve the success rate of VEEG monitoring in elderly patients, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, improve the active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction.
The CONSORT extension for reporting N-of-1 trials (CENT 2015) is designed to guide N-of-1 and series N-of-1 reporting. This study introduced the terminology (period, block or pair, sequence, washout period, and run-in period), the scope, the checklist and the diagram of CENT 2015 and demonstrated the complete guide frame for N-of-1, and thus to provide reference for relevant studies and improve the reporting quality of N-of-1 in China.
Objective To explore the value and clinical safety of low-dose dexamethasone used after operation of anastomotic colorectal resection with fast-track surgery in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Between January 2008 and December 2009, 470 patients undergoing anastomotic colorectal resection were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into dexamethasone group and control group according to the use of low-dose dexamethasone treatment or not after operation. Postoperative adverse effect, complications, and early rehabilitations were studied. Results There was no statistical significance in postoperative incidence of adverse effect or complications between two groups (Pgt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, first ambulation of patients in the dexamethasone group was significantly earlier than that in the control group (Plt;0.05), while there was no statistical significance in first time of passing flatus, stool, and oral intake, the retain time of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains, and postoperative hospital stay (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Using low-dose dexamethasone after operation anastomotic colorectal resection in patients with colorectal cancer is safe and may have potential to enhance recovery after operation.
