文摘Objective:The early use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES)to prevent intensive care unit-acquired weakness(ICU-AW)in critical patients is still a controversial topic.We conducted a systematic review to clarify the effectiveness of NMES in preventing ICU-AW.Methods:The Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,MEDUNE,Web of Science,Ovid,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc)and other databases were searched for randomized controlled trials on the influence of NMES on ICU-AW.The studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.After data and quality were evaluated,a meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials with 576 patients were included.The meta-analysis results showed that NMES can improve muscle strength[MD=1.78,95%CI(0.44,3.12,P=0.009);shorten the mechanical ventilation(MV)time[SMD=-0.65,95%CI(-1.03,-0.27,P=0.001],ICU length of stay[MD=-3.41,95%CI(-4.58,-4.24),P<0.001],and total length of stay[MD=-3.97,95%CI(-6.89,-1.06,P=0.008];improve the ability of patients to perform activities of daily living[SMD=0.9,95%CI(0.45,1.35),P=0.001];and increase walking distance[MD=239.03,95%CI(179.22298.85),P<0.001].However,there is no evidence indicating that NMES can improve the functional status of ICU patients during hospitalization,promote the early awakening of patients or reduce mortality(P>0.05).Conclusion:Early implementation of the NMES intervention in ICU patients can prevent ICU-AW and improve their quality of life by enhancing their muscle strength and shortening the MV duration,length of stay in the ICU and total length of stay in the hospital.
文摘目的:探讨重症监护病房(intensive care unit,ICU)获得性肌无力(ICU acquired weakness,ICUAW)患者肌肉超声回声与血浆炎性因子的相关性,以及其对ICUAW的诊断价值和预后的预测价值。方法:选择重庆市急救医疗中心ICU住院患者,分别在第1、3、7天使用床旁超声检测患者肌肉回声,获得的总体肌肉回声评分(global muscle echogenicity score,GEM),测定血清白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6,IL-6)和降钙素原(procalcitonin,PCT)浓度,采用医学研究理事会肌力评分法(medical research council scales,MRC-ss)评估肌肉力量。根据患者入ICU第7天MRC-ss评分将患者分为ICUAW组和非ICUAW组,分析比较2组患者GEM、IL-6、PCT的差异及各指标的相关性。利用受试者工作特征(receiver operator characteristic,ROC)曲线分析以上参数对ICUAW诊断效能,分析GEM、IL-6、PCT对ICUAW患者的预测预后价值。结果:ICUAW组第3天GEM、第7天IL-6浓度、GEM高于非ICUAW组(P<0.05)。GEM与第7天IL-6水平呈正相关(r=0.221),第7天GEM与MRC-ss评分呈负相关(r=-0.581)。ROC曲线分析显示,第7天GEM对ICUAW有诊断预测价值,ROC曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.838,使用GEM、IL-6、PCT联合诊断,AUC=0.885(P<0.05)。ICUAW组Barthel指数评分(Barthel index,BI)低于非ICUAW组,ICUAW组中总体肌肉超声回声评分(global muscle echogenicity score,GEM)高的患者BI低于GEM低的患者(P<0.05)。结论:ICU住院患者GEM与IL-6、PCT浓度相关,其对ICUAW具有一定的诊断价值,并能够预测ICUAW患者的预后。
文摘目的调查三级医院ICU护士对ICU获得性衰弱(intensive care unit acquired weakness,ICU-AW)评估及预防策略实践现状,并分析影响因素。方法采用便利抽样法,于2022年11月—12月选取北京市、辽宁省、河北省28所三级医院的397名护士为调查对象,采用自行设计的问卷进行调查。结果ICU-AW评估主要由医生完成(55.42%),肌力评估是首选方法(65.49%)。84.13%护士反映临床未有ICU-AW相关的标准化策略或流程,主要预防措施是镇痛镇静(65.24%)、早期活动(62.47%),活动形式主要是呼吸功能指导(33.00%)、床上被动训练(33.25%)。护士ICU-AW评估与预防策略认知得分为(20.74±8.03)分,态度得分(26.68±4.19)分,实践得分(29.79±5.40)分。年龄、工作年限、学历、医院地区分布是护士对ICU-AW评估与预防措施实践的影响因素(P<0.05)。结论目前护士对ICU-AW认知水平不足,ICU-AW评估方式受限,缺乏标准化干预流程,人力资源不足。建议加强ICU-AW教育培训,完善资源配置,构建标准化的评估和实践流程,促进ICU-AW评估与预防实践的临床开展。
