ObjectiveTo analyze the causes and potential risk factors of re-catheterization after failure of no urinary catheter in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.MethodsThe clinical data of 1 618 patients without urinary catheter indwelling during the perioperative period of thoracic surgery in our hospital from 2013 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 791 males and 827 females, with a median age of 58 years, ranging from 27 to 85 years. And the risk factors for re-insertion after failure of urinary catheter were investgated.ResultsThe rate of catheter re-insertion was 1.5% (24/1 618). Compared with patients without re-insertion, patients with re-insertion had longer operation time [120.0 (95.0, 130.0) min vs. 120.0 (115.0, 180.0) min, P=0.015] and more intraoperative fluid infusion [800.0 (600.0, 1 100.0) mL vs. 1 150.0 (725.0, 1 350.0) mL, P=0.008]. Further multivariate analysis found that the operation time (OR=1.014, P=0.004, 95%CI 1.005-1.024) and intraoperative fluid infusion (OR=1.001, P=0.022, 95%CI 1.001–1.002) were independent risk factors for re-insertion.ConclusionThe rate of catheter re-insertion in lung cancer patients is relatively low, and conventional no placement of catheter is safe and feasible after lung cancer surgery. Increasing operation time or intraoperative infusion volume may increase the risk of catheter re-insertion after lung cancer surgery.
Objective To investigate the status of communication skills among medical students in order to provide targeted and operational interventions. Methods We designed the questionnaire ‘Questionnaire investigating the status of medical students’ communication skills’ to investigate the status of communication skills of medical students of the West China Clinical College. The sample was extracted by the way of stratified sampling. Results We put out 570 questionnaires and received 548 completed questionnaires. There was a statistical difference between students who came from the city and countryside in terms of communication skills. There was also a statistical difference between students with different backgrounds in communication skills. Conclusion ① Medical students have lots of advantages in interpersonal communication, but there are also lots of defects in their skill set. ② Medical students have been aware of the necessity of learning the basic theories of interpersonal communication to improve the physician-patient relationship in the future. ③ It has become a trend to carry out interpersonal education in medical universities. ④ Medical colleges need to integrate internal and external resources, professional education, moral education, and the construction of campus culture to foster medical students with good interpersonal skills.
Objective To understand the outpatients, evaluation and demands of the real-name registration system. To implement the new medical reform program deeply. Methods We used the questionnaire named registration questionnaire of West China Hospital designed by ourselves to survey the outpatients and their family members and were filled in the questionnaire by themselves. Results Firstly, real-name registration system in West China Hospital made major contribution to alleviate the difficulties of registration and medical treatment. It achieved a major breakthrough and created a good social benefit. Secondly, patients the most favourite way of registration was by phone. They were satisfied with the platform of the social welfare services very much. Thirdly, the number of appointment registration arrived year by year, while the number of the day registration fell year by year. Conclusion Firstly, we innovate the form of the realname registration system, refine service and do scientific management at the needs of the patient-oriented. Secondly, we strengthen the track of the failure of appointment registration and analyze the causes. We should take measures timely to reduce the rate of the event and improve the real-name registration system. Thirdly, we strengthen the management of the out-patient doctor visiting program and credit services, to improve medical compliance rate and protect the interests of the patients. Fourthly, we explore a scientific research of out-patient real-name registration system to establish a modern hospital out-patient services model.
