Methods: This research starts from October 2021 to October 2022. The number of patients with robot-assisted tumor surgery included in our hospital is 769. The patients are treated in the operating room, and the prognosis of the patients is summarized. Results: The intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing robot-assisted tumor surgery was (57.51 ± 12.01) ml;the operation time was (3.57 ± 0.66) h;and the hospital stay was (6.04 ± 0.53) d. There were 21 cases of complications after robot-assisted tumor surgery, accounting for 2.73%. After surgery, all robot-assisted tumor surgery patients recovered and were discharged smoothly after being checked by doctors. Conclusion: Robot-assisted tumor surgery nursing has a definite effect on patients’ rehabilitation in the operating room.展开更多

Forty-five fungal species representing 23 genera were isolated and identified. The most prevalent genera recorded were Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. The total colony forming units of airborne fungi recovered in I.C.U. and O.R. ranged between 31.13-49.61 colonies/m3 on the four types of media usedl The fungal total catch of the dust samples collected from the air conditioning system filters in I.C.U. and O.R. were ranged from 65.5-170 colonies/mg dust. Since, the interest to replace synthetic xenobiotics by natural compounds with low environmental persistence and biodegradable to control such airborne fungal contaminants is needed. In this respect, essential oils showed to possess a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. Fungal static ability of six oils was tested on 30 different fungal isolates. Vapors of common thyme oil exhibited the strongest inhibitory effects on the tested isolates, whereas the headspace vapors of blue gum and ginger had no inhibitory effects on the tested fungal isolates. These data revealed that the air conditioning systems may be an important source of contamination in I.C.U. and O.R. of Assiut university hospitals. Thus, patients may be in risk of being exposed to contaminated atmospheric air by opportunistic fungi and the use of essential oils as an alternative option to control hospital wards from fungal contaminants needs further studies.展开更多
