The viewpoints in the guidelines of America, Europe and Japan were also reviewed.
在過去二十年間，麻醉技術和手術技術的改進使肺部惡性腫瘤患者的手術死亡率大大降低，但術后并發癥仍是主要問題。肺切除術后的常見并發癥是肺部并發癥[1]，主要表現是低氧血癥，尤其在肺功能減退的肺切除患者中發病率更高[2]。目前國內對低氧血癥的診斷缺乏統一的診斷標準，一些作者采用Russell等[3]提出的標準，吸空氣氧的情況下，患者動脈血氧飽和度（SpO2）≤92%，大于30 s就可診斷為術后低氧血癥。也有作者建議[4]將一次或以上血氣檢查PaO2lt;8 kPa或PaO2/FiO2lt;300 mm Hg（1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa）作為診斷低氧血癥的標準。30%~50%的術后患者可發生低氧血癥，一般認為這樣的低氧血癥是一過性的，對大多數患者是無害的[5]。但如果合并心腦或其他器官動脈硬化或其他原因的血管阻塞，這種低氧血癥就是很危險的[6]。常見低氧血癥的原因是肺萎陷不張和誤吸、心源性肺水腫、靜脈輸入液體過量、通氣血流比例失調和急性肺損傷/急性呼吸窘迫綜合征（ALI/ARDS）[7]，其中ALI/ARDS是肺切除術后患者死亡的主要原因[8-10]。
Objective To explore the application effect of the four-dimensional teaching library model in the training of neuroinfection subspecialty continuing physicians, and compare it with traditional rotational training. Methods Continuing physicians who received training in the Department of Neurology of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University between March 2021 and February 2023 were selected. The continuing physicians who received traditional rotational training between March 2021 and February 2022 would serve as the control group, and the continuing physicians who received four-dimensional teaching library model training between March 2022 and February 2023 would serve as the experimental group. The Mini-CEX scale was used to evaluate the clinical comprehensive abilities of two groups of continuing physicians. At the same time, self-made questionnaires were used to evaluate the evaluation of two groups of continuing physicians on different teaching modes. Results A total of 55 continuing physicians were included. Among them, there were 27 people in the control group and 28 people in the experimental group. There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of general information between the two groups (P＞0.05). At the time of graduation, all items on the Mini-CEX scale in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The survey questionnaire results showed that the experimental group scored higher than the control group in terms of improving learning interest, improving self-learning ability, improving clinical thinking, improving analysis and problem-solving ability, improving doctor-patient communication ability, and increasing teamwork (P<0.05). Conclusion The application effect of the four-dimensional teaching library model in the training of neuroinfection subspecialty continuing physicians is better than that of traditional rotational training, which can significantly improve the clinical comprehensive ability of continuing physicians and is worth promoting.

Methods The clinical data of three patients with pulmonary aspergillosis from January to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed, and the misdiagnostic causes were analyzed. Result No specific clinical and imaging findings were found in the three patients, and pulmonary aspergillosis was finally diagnosed according to the pathological biopsy. Conclusion Pulmonary aspergillus lacks specific clinical and imaging manifestations; early fiberoptic bronchoscopy or pulmonary biopsy may improve the rate of accurate diagnosis.
Objective To analyze symptoms, associated anomalies, diagnostic approach, and surgical procedures in patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (UCSS), a rare congenital disorder. Methods The clinical, echocardiographic, operative, and followup data on 44 patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (typeⅠin 15，typeⅡin 9，type Ⅲ in 5 and type Ⅳ in 15) between May 1998 and January 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. The initial diagnosis of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome was made by echocardiography in 12 patients, by the surgeon at repair of other congenital cardiac anomalies in 32 patients. The patients underwent cardiovascular surgery at Fu Wai hospital. Left superior vena cava(LSVC) directly drains into the left atrium (LA) were found in 15 cases, LSVC was ligated in 1 case, the intracardiac tunnel to drain LSVC to right atrium (RA) were reconstructed in 14 cases. The associated cardiac lesions were corrected concomitantly. Results There were 3 hospital deaths. One patient died of low cardiac output syndrome and 2 patients died of pulmonary infection. One case was applied diaphragm plication because of right diaphragm paralysis after the heart operation and the hospital stay was 70 days.The other 40 cases had good surgical result. The average time of extubation was 11.7±12.1 h and hospital stay was 8.1±2.8 d. In the 32 cases, who have been followed up from 4 months to 10 years, there was no death and severe complications. Conclusion Unroofed coronary sinus syndromes are often missed in the preoperative evaluation of congenitally malformed hearts. When associated with LSVC, unroofed coronary sinus syndrome should be considered as a possible additional finding.We performed different surgical approaches to deal with the different kinds of LSVC with a good result.
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of primary malignant tumors of the left atrium and the late results of surgical treatment. Methods The clinical experience with surgical treatment of 13 primary malignant tumors of left atrium was analyzed retrospectively. Complete resection of malignant tumor was achieved in 7 cases(53.8％ )，and subtotal resection was achieved in 3 cases(23.0％), only biopsy was performed in 2 patients(15.4％ )because of extensive metastasis of tumor. Heart transplantation was performed in 1 case(7.7％). Results There was no hospital death. The pathological diagnosis was undifferentiated sarcoma in 5 cases, leiomyosarcoma in 2 cases, malignant transformation of myxoma in 2 cases, angiosarcoma in 1 case, fibrosarcoma in 1 case, malignant fibrous histocytoma in 1 case and malignant hemangiopericytoma in 1 case. There were 11 patients followedup for 3 months to 65 months and showed 9 late death due to recurrence or metastasis. There was 2 patients lost of follow-up. Conclusion Primary malignant tumors of the left atrium should be resected to relieve symptoms caused by local tumor growth. Surgery provides control of primary tumor and allows the potential for cure or longterm survival with effective adjuvant therapy. The prognosis of these patients is still poor.
Objective To explore the effect of “net bottom” management in the control of device-associated infections (DAIs) in elderly patients by setting infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods Elderly patients who aged≥60 years old admitted to the EICU of the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang between April 2018 and March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. A “net bottom” management mode was established and implemented for the purpose of infection prevention and control, taking medical and other departments as the coordination and management subjects, and infection monitoring doctors and nurses as the core. The effectiveness of the management intervention was evaluated by comparing the incidences of DAIs in elderly patients, the compliance rates of medical staff in hand hygiene, and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day in EICU among the primary stage (from April 2018 to March 2019), intermediate stage (from April 2019 to March 2020), and later stage (from April 2020 to March 2021). Results During the primary stage, intermediate stage, and later stage, there were 540, 497, and 507 elderly inpatients in EICU monitored, respectively, and the incidences of nosocomial infections were 7.22% (39/540), 5.84% (29/497), and 4.14% (21/507), respectively, showing a decreasing trend (χ2trend=4.557, P=0.033). The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections decreased from 4.82‰, 2.53‰, and 0.95‰, respectively in the primary stage, to 0.51‰, 1.01‰, and 0.53‰, respectively in the later stage, among which the difference in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was statistically significant (P<0.05). The hand hygiene compliance rate of EICU medical staff increased from 70.39% to 86.67% (P<0.05), and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day increased from 33.70 mL to 67.27 mL. The quarterly hand hygiene compliance rate was positively correlated with the quarterly consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day (rs=0.846, P=0.001), and negatively correlated with the quarterly incidence of nosocomial infections (rs=–0.769, P=0.003). Conclusion The “net bottom” management by setting up infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the EICU and multi-department collaboration can reduce the incidence of DAIs in elderly patients in EICU, which plays a positive role in promoting the hospital infection management and improving the quality of hospital infection management.
