ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Glycerine Enema on patients with urinary retention after coronary interventional procedures.
MethodsBetween October 2011 and October 2012, 100 patients with urinary retention after coronary intervention were randomized into experimental group (enema group) and control group (conventional treatment group). The clinical effect of the two methods were compared between the two groups.
ResultsThe effective rate in the experimental group was 88.0% while in the control group was 54.0%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically signifi cant (P<0.05).
ConclusionThe effect of Glycerine Enema on patients with urinary retention after coronary intervention is obvious and signifi cant.
ObjectiveTo analyze the quality of life (QOL) and psychological status among patients having undergone cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
MethodsA total of 42 patients underwent CRT in our hospital during January 2011 to January 2014. All the patients were studied by MOS SF-36 scale and symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) on overall QOL and psychological QOL, respectively. Another 42 healthy people in matched control group were also tested.
ResultsThe QOL of patients after CRT was significantly lower than that of healthy subjects (P<0.05). The psychological status score, which was obtained by the examination of SCL-90, was significantly higher in patients after CRT than in the healthy population (P<0.05). The length of the disease course and leveling exercise tolerance are the influence factors for the QOL and psychological status in patients undergoing CRT. Gender does not make any difference between the two groups.
ConclusionThe QOL of patients having undergone CRT is significantly lower than that of healthy people, and the psychological status score is higher. Medical staff need to pay attention to the mental illness (such as depression, anxiety and panic) of patients after CRT, especially in patients with long course of disease, and patients who fail to improve exercise tolerance or who are mateless. Psychological interventions can further improve the QOL of patients.
