Effect of CICARE communication nursing model combined with motivational psychological intervention in patients with postintensive care unit syndrome

BACKGROUND Post-intensive care syndrome(PICS)is a term used to describe a constellation of new or worsened dysfunctions in the physical,cognitive,or mental health status of critically ill patients after their discharge from the intensive care unit(ICU).These dysfunctions persist beyond the acute phase of illness and have a significant impact on both the patient and their family.Connect,Introduce,Communicate,Ask,Respond,Exit(CICARE)communication advocates that patients should be respected and accepted when receiving medical services.Clinicians should attach importance to the communication mode of feelings,including connection,introduction,communication,ask,response,and exit 6 steps.AIM To assess the impact of CICARE communication on the reduction of anxiety,depression,and post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)symptoms in patients transitioning from the ICU to other care settings.METHODS This prospective,randomized,controlled study was performed between October 2021 and March 2023.Intensive Care Unit Memory Tool was used to evaluate patients’ICU memory.The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was employed to determine the presence of anxiety or depression symptoms.Impact of Event Scale-Revised was utilized to assess the presence of PTSD.All data were processed and analyzed using R language software version 4.1.0.The measurement data were expressed as mean±SD,and the t test was used.The count data were analyzed by theχ2 test and expressed as[n(%)].RESULTS In total,248 subjects were included in this study.Among them,206 were successfully followed up for three months after transfer from the ICU,and 42 cases were lost to follow-up.There was no significant difference in the composition of ICU memory between the two groups.The application of the CICARE communication nursing model combined with the motivational psychological intervention nursing model,as well as the adoption of only the motivational psychological intervention nursing model,demonstrated favorable effects on PICS.Both groups of patients showed a reduction in anxiety scores,depression scores,and PTSD scores following the implementation of these two nursing models.However,it is noteworthy that the experimental group exhibited greater improvements compared to the control group.CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that CICARE communication nursing mode may have good influence on relieving PICS.

Evaluation of the mental health of COVID-19 patients discharged from the intensive care unit

In this editorial,I address the mental health status of patients who have been discharged from intensive care units(ICUs)after battling coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).An ICU admission is generally a stressful experience,and for severe COVID-19 survivors prolonged treatment in the ICU can lead to significant psychological consequences.These individuals may experience psychiatric distress,including symptoms such as insomnia,anxiety,depression,and even posttraumatic psychological issues.Research indicates that during the first 6 months to 1 year following an ICU stay,nearly one-third of survivors exhibit symptoms similar to those of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.Several factors may have contributed to the development of depressive and anxious symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic,particularly for those who underwent an ICU stay.The ICU environment itself is inherently stressful,filled with the constant noise of various medical devices.Studies have provided strong evidence that the prolonged need for ventilation support and the loss of freedom of movement are key factors in the development of psychological problems among COVID-19 patients who had been treated in the ICU.

Low T3 vs low T3T4 euthyroid sick syndrome in septic shock patients:A prospective observational cohort study

BACKGROUND Both phases of euthyroid sick syndrome(ESS)are associated with worse prognosis in septic shock patients.Although there are still no indications for supplementation therapy,there is no evidence that both phases(initial and prolonged)are adaptive or that only prolonged is maladaptive and requires supplementation.AIM To analyze clinical,hemodynamic and laboratory differences in two groups of septic shock patients with ESS.METHODS A total of 47 septic shock patients with ESS were divided according to values of their thyroid hormones into low T3 and low T3T4 groups.The analysis included demographic data,mortality scores,intensive care unit stay,mechanical ventilation length and 28-day survival and laboratory with hemodynamics.RESULTS The Simplified Acute Physiology Score II score(P=0.029),dobutamine(P=0.003)and epinephrine requirement(P=0.000)and the incidence of renal failure and multiple organ failure(MOF)(P=0.000)were significantly higher for the low T3T4.Hypoalbuminemia(P=0.047),neutrophilia(P=0.038),lymphopenia(P=0.013)and lactatemia(P=0.013)were more pronounced on T2 for the low T3T4 group compared to the low T3 group.Diastolic blood pressure at T0(P=0.017)and T1(P=0.007),as well as mean arterial pressure at T0(P=0.037)and T2(P=0.033)was higher for the low T3 group.CONCLUSION The low T3T4 population is associated with higher frequency of renal insufficiency and MOF,with worse laboratory and hemodynamic parameters.These findings suggest potentially maladaptive changes in the chronic phase of septic shock.

Abdominal compartment syndrome:Often overlooked conditions in medical intensive care units

Intra-abdominal hypertension(IAH)and abdominal compartment syndrome are well recognized entities among surgical patients.Nevertheless,a number of prospective and retrospective observational studies have shown that IAH is prevalent in about half of the critically ill patients in the medical intensive care units(ICU)and has been widely recognized as an independent risk factor for mortality.It is alarming to note that many members of the critical care team in medical ICU are not aware of the consequences of untreated IAH and the delay in making the diagnosis leads to increased morbidity and mortality.Frequently it is underdiagnosed and undertreated in this patient population.Elevated intraabdominal pressure decreases the blood flow to the kidneys and other abdominal viscera and also results in reduced cardiac output and difficulties in ventilating the patient because of increased intrathoracic pressure.When intraabdominal hypertension is not promptly recognized and treated,it leads to abdominal compartment syndrome,multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and death.Large volume fluid resuscitation is very common in medical ICU patients presenting with sepsis,shock and other inflammatory conditions like pancreatitis and it is one of the major risk factors for the development of intra-abdominal hypertension.This article presents an overview of the epidemiology,definitions,risk factors,pathophysiology and management of IAH and abdominal compartment syndrome in critically ill medical ICU patients.

Anemia in patients with high-risk acute coronary syndromes admitted to Intensive Cardiac Care Units

Background Little information exists about the role of anemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes(ACS)admitted to Intensive Cardiac Care Units(ICCU).The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and its impact on management and outcomes in this clinical setting.Methods All consecutive patients admitted to eight different ICCUs with diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation ACS(NSTEACS)were prospectively included.Anemia was defined as hemoglobin<130 g/L in men and<120 g/L in women.The association between anemia and mortality or readmission at six months was assessed by the Cox regression method.Results A total of 629 patients were included.Mean age was 66.6 years.A total of 197 patients(31.3%)had anemia.Coronary angiography was performed in most patients(96.2%).Patients with anemia were significantly older,with a higher prevalence of comorbidities,poorer left ventricle ejection fraction and higher GRACE score values.Patients with anemia underwent less often coronary angiography,but underwent more often intraaortic counterpulsation,non-invasive mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapies.Both ICCU and hospital stay were significantly longer in patients with anemia.Both the incidence of mortality(HR=3.36,95%CI:1.43–7.85,P=0.001)and the incidence of mortality/readmission were significantly higher in patients with anemia(HR=2.80,95%CI:2.03–3.86,P=0.001).After adjusting for confounders,the association between anemia and mortality/readmission remained significant(P=0.031).Conclusions Almost one of three NSTEACS patients admitted to ICCU had anemia.Most patients underwent coronary angiography.Anemia was independently associated to poorer outcomes at 6 months.

The Incidence of Respiratory Distress Syndrome among Preterm Infants Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Study

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or hyaline membrane disease (HMD) is the most common cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. We aimed to determine the frequency of RDS among 3 groups of preterm infants and the value of some related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive analytical investigation was carried out in the NICU ward of Akbarabadi Hospital (Tehran-Iran) during spring 2011. Newborns’ data were collected and assessed by using their hospital medical records. Seventy-three preterm infants with gestational age < 34 weeks were hospitalized in the NICU. All participants were divided into 3 groups: extremely preterm (<28 weeks), very preterm (28 to <32 weeks) and moderate preterm (32 to 34 weeks). Frequency of RDS and some related factors were compared among 3 groups. Results: RDS was observed in 65.6% of all participants;however frequency of RDS was not different between three groups. An inversely correlation was found between gestational age and mortality rate (p = 0.05). In regard to Betamethasone administration prior to birth, this interval was significantly longer in alive neonates in comparison to infants who died (p < 0.05). Conclusion: RDS was frequent in preterm neonates with gestational age < 32 weeks. Time of Betamethasone administration prior to birth can significantly influence on neonatal mortality rate.

Characteristics of postintensive care syndrome in survivors of pediatric critical illness: A systematic review

AIM To synthesize the available evidence focusing on morbidities in pediatric survivors of critical illness that fall within the defined construct of postintensive care syndrome(PICS) in adults, including physical, neurocognitive and psychological morbidities.METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Psyc INFO, and CINAHL using controlled vocabulary and key word terms to identify studies reporting characteristics of PICS in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) patients. Two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts and performed data extraction. From the 3176 articles identified in the search, 252 abstracts were identified for full text review and nineteen were identified for inclusion in the review. All studies reporting characteristics of PICS in PICU patients were included in the final synthesis. RESULTS Nineteen studies meeting inclusion criteria published between 1995 and 2016 were identified and categorized into studies reporting morbidities in each of three categories-physical, neurocognitive and psychological. The majority of included articles reported prospective cohort studies, and there was significant variability in the outcome measures utilized. A synthesis of the studies indicate that morbidities encompassing PICS are well-described in children who have survived critical illness, often resolving over time. Risk factors for development of these morbidities include younger age, lower socioeconomic status, increased number of invasive procedures or interventions, type of illness, and increased benzodiazepine andnarcotic administration.CONCLUSION PICS-related morbidities impact a significant proportion of children discharged from PICUs. In order to further define PICS in children, more research is needed using standardized tools to better understand the scope and natural history of morbidities after hospital discharge. Improving our understanding of physical, neurocognitive, and psychological morbidities after critical illness in the pediatric population is imperative for designing interventions to improve long-term outcomes in PICU patients.

Effects of the prone position on arterial blood gas analysis and respiratory parameters of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients:An observational retrospective study

Objective:To investigate the effect of the first prone position on arterial blood gas analysis and respiratory parameters of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)patients with and without COVID.Methods:This study was conducted retrospectively with 22 COVID-ARDS and 22 non-COVID ARDS patients,who were placed in a prone position for at least 16 hours on the first day at the intensive care unit admission,and arterial blood gas analysis was taken in the pre-prone,prone and post-prone periods.Results:PaO2 were significantly increased in the pre-prone vs.prone comparison in both groups,but the increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio was not significant.In comparing the pre-prone vs.post-prone PaO2/FiO2 ratios,there was a significant difference only in the non-COVID ARDS group.Conclusions:The improved oxygenation provided by prone positioning is more permanent with the“post-prone effect”in non-COVID ARDS patients.This can be attributed to the differences in the pathogenesis of the two ARDS types.

Correlation between circulating endothelial cell level and acute respiratory distress syndrome in postoperative patients

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)is injury of alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells caused by various factors,including endogenous and exogenous lung factors,leading to diffuse pulmonary interstitial and alveolar edema,and acute respiratory failure.ARDS involves alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary interstitial capillary endothelial cells.Circulating endothelial cells(CECs)are the only marker that directly reflects vascular endothelial injury in vivo.There have been few studies on the correlation between peripheral blood CECs and ARDS at home and abroad.The lungs are the organs with the highest capillary density and the most endothelial cells,thus,it is speculated that when ARDS occurs,CECs are stimulated and damaged,and released into the circulatory system.AIM To explore the correlation between CEC level and severity of ARDS in patients postoperatively.METHODS Blood samples were collected from all patients on day 2(d2)and day 5(d5)after surgery.The control group comprised 32 healthy volunteers.Number of CECs was measured by flow cytometry,and operation time was recorded.Changes in various indexes of patients were monitored,and diagnosis of ARDS was determined based on ARDS Berlin definition.We comprised d2 CECs in different groups,correlation between operation time and d2 CECs,ARDS of different severity by d2 CECs,and predictive value of d2 CECs for ARDS in postoperative patients.RESULTS The number of d2 CECs in the ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(P<0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the non-ARDS group(P<0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the non-ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(P<0.001).Operation time was positively correlated with number of CECs on d2(rs=0.302,P=0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the deceased group was significantly higher than that in the improved group(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in number of d2 CECs between patients with mild and moderate ARDS.The number of d2 CECs in patients with severe ARDS was significantly higher than that in patients with mild and moderate ARDS(P=0.041,P=0.037).There was no significant difference in number of d5 and d2 CECs in the non-ARDS group after admission to intensive care.The number of d5 CECs was higher than the number of d2 CECs in the ARDS improved group(P<0.001).The number of d5 CECs was higher than the number of d2 CECs in the ARDS deceased group(P=0.002).If the number of CECs was>1351/mL,sensitivity and specificity of predicting ARDS were 80.8%and 78.1%,respectively.CONCLUSION Changes in number of CECs might predict occurrence and adverse outcome of ARDS after surgery,and higher numbers of CECs indicate worse prognosis of ARDS.

ICU患者中心静脉导管拔除意外综合征风险的列线图预测模型构建与验证

目的探讨重症监护室(ICU)患者中心静脉导管(CVC)拔除意外综合征的影响因素,构建风险预测模型,并进行验证。方法回顾性收集2018年1月-2022年12月在我院ICU接受CVC置管3016例患者,根据是否发生CVC拔除意外综合征,分为发生组28例和未发生组2988例。比较2组一般资料,采用logistic回归分析其危险因素,探讨护理预防措施。结果ICU患者CVC拔除意外综合征发生率为0.93%,年龄≥65岁、置管时间≥7d、冠心病史、导管相关血流感染、空气栓塞是ICU患者发生CVC拔除意外综合征的危险因素。利用上述5个因素构建列线图模型,并对列线图模型进行内部验证,绘制校准曲线图显示校正曲线与理想曲线拟合良好,HosmerLemeshow拟合优度检验结果显示,χ^(2)=7.240,P=0.412,模型拟合优度良好。AUC=0.742,灵敏度为69.08%,特异度为79.32%,预测结果较好,DCA曲线和临床决策曲线均表明具有较好的临床实用性。结论年龄≥65岁、置管时间≥7d、冠心病史、导管相关血流感染和空气栓塞是ICU患者发生CVC拔除意外综合征的独立危险因素,基于此建立的列线图模型对于护理工作者早期干预,降低CVC拔除意外综合征的风险具有重要意义。

重症监护患者再喂养综合征发生率及危险因素的Meta分析

目的 明确重症监护(intensive care unit, ICU)患者再喂养综合征(refeeding syndrome, RFS)发生率及危险因素,为早期识别和预防再喂养综合征提供依据。方法 计算机检索国内外数据库中与ICU患者RFS发生率及危险因素相关的文献,检索时限为建库至2023年5月31日,利用Stata 17软件进行Meta分析。结果 共纳入21篇文献,总样本量5056例,阳性病例1935例,RFS发生率37.88%[95%CI(30.33%~45.43%)]。其中,年龄(MD=3.40)、合并糖尿病(OR=2.49)、体质量指数(MD=-1.21)、急性生理与慢性健康评分(MD=2.63)、序贯器官功能衰竭评分(MD=1.87)、格拉斯哥昏迷评分(MD=-2.53)、重症营养风险评分(MD=1.00)、血清磷水平(MD=-0.45)、血清钾水平(MD=-0.38)、血清钙水平(MD=-0.19)、血清钠水平(MD=-2.96)、白蛋白水平(MD=-1.64)、前白蛋白水平(MD=-67.83)等13项为ICU患者发生RFS的危险因素(均P<0.01)。结论 护理人员可依据上述危险因素早期识别ICU患者RFS高发人群,及时采取针对性措施,从而改善患者的预后。

中国多省份重症医学科ARDS患者机械通气的横断面调查

目的通过评估国内多省份重症医学科(ICU)患者机械通气相关治疗方面的差异性,以提高ICU患者机械通气相关治疗的实践与管理质量。方法2022年9月29日以问卷调查的方式开展急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)患者机械通气的横断面调查。结果总收纳患者中ARDS占11.74%,主要为男性患者。在ARDS的病因中,肺内因素以原发性肺炎为主,而肺外因素主要涉及消化系统(如肠穿孔、肠梗阻)和神经系统疾病(如脑卒中)。收集到的患者中,非吸入性肺炎是ARDS的主要来源(占79.17%),其次是肺内感染(占76.92%),肠道感染也是一个较常见的来源。在诊断ARDS的诊断方面,急性生理性与慢性健康评分(APACHEⅡ)提示病情危重和中重度患者比例分别为75.00%和47.92%。重症肺部超声在ARDS患者中的应用较为普遍,约占收纳病例的56.25%,而膈肌超声的实践率较低,仅有18.75%,且均发生在三甲医院内。声门下吸引的总体实施率为45.71%,实施组中肺内组和肺外组无明显差异。气囊压监测的实施率为62.86%,东部地区的三甲医院实施率最高。在ARDS治疗方面,通气模式以压力控制通气为主(62.86%),高流量湿化氧疗占据76.92%,普通湿化氧疗占据23.08%。小潮气量的实施率为68.57%,东部地区的三甲医院(肺内组)和中部地区的三甲医院(肺外组)实施率较高。高呼吸频率、高呼气末正压(PEEP)、高碳酸血症的治疗实施率较低,可能与疾病的病程和基础疾病相关。镇静镇痛的实施率为62.86%。结论ARDS的诊断和治疗需要综合考虑患者的病情和临床表现。在治疗中,通气模式、湿化氧疗、小潮气量等的实施率都比较高,但高呼吸频率、PEEP、高碳酸血症的治疗实施率较低,需要加强。此外,应该加强ARDS的预防和早期干预,以降低其发生率和病死率。

ICU患者再喂养综合征管理及预后的研究进展

再喂养综合征(RFS)是长期营养不良患者重新摄入营养初期机体代谢异常所导致的一系列危及生命的临床症状,由于缺乏特异性,不易辨别,其在ICU患者中死亡率较高。目前,国内学者对RFS的治疗管理和预后影响的研究报道较少,且具体管理措施仍然存在争议。此外,对于RFS预后研究的方法和结论同样存在差异。故该文拟从ICU患者RFS的诊断标准及发生现状、管理现况、疾病预后方面进行系统综述,旨在为医护人员就RFS的管理提供经验借鉴,为后续相关研究提供参考。

家属ICU后综合征症状体验的质性研究

探讨了ICU患者家属在亲人入住ICU期间的真实体验,通过对18位家属进行半结构式访谈,运用主题分析法提炼出3个主题:家属存在多层面家属ICU后综合征(post-intensive care syndrome-family,PICS-F)症状感知(心理层面、生理层面、社会层面);家属在PICS-F症状认知方面存在不足(自我忽视、健康过度关注);家属在面对PICS-F症状时的应对方式多样(以情绪为中心型应对、以问题为中心型应对、回避型应对)。研究建议医务人员应深入关注这些症状的本质,提升家属PICS-F症状的认知水平,帮助他们改善应对方式,以有效缓解ICU后综合征相关症状,改善家属的整体健康状况。

Determination of functional prognosis in hospitalized patients following an intensive care admission

AIM To investigate the factors associated with the functional progress of hospitalized patients following an intensive care admission.METHODS Retrospective study including data from a cohort of 198 hospitalized patients following an intensive care admission and not requiring mechanical ventilation in a single tertiary referral hospital. A generalized linear model was used to identify the main effects of clinical and demographic variables on the outcomes of functionality(KATZ Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living) and muscle strength(MRC Scale). The covariates identified as independent predictors were analysed using the receiver operating characteristic curves. The analysis differentiated the periods in the intensive care unit(ICU), in the Ward(WARD) and the total time of hospital stay(TOT).RESULTS Considering the functional outcome(ΔKATZ), the variables that significantly contributed to the model(P < 0.05) were the KATZ and MRC on admission, age, sepsis(no), and total length of stay(TLS). Regarding the muscle strength outcome model(ΔMRC), the predictors were MRC on admission, Simplified Acute Physiology Score III, previous stroke, TLS, and sex(female). The variable age(AUC = 0.664) discriminated the ΔKATZICU. The variables age(AUC = 0.712), KATZ in ICU(AUC = 0.590) and on ward admission(AUC = 0.746), and MRC on ward admission(AUC = 0.721) were discriminative for ΔKATZWARD. For ΔKATZTOT the variables KATZ on ICU admission(AUC = 0.621) and TLS(AUC = 0.617) were discriminative. For ΔMRCICU the variables SAPSIII(AUC = 0.661) and MRC on ICU admission(AUC = 0.653) were discriminative. MRC on ICU(AUC = 0.681) and ward admission(AUC = 0.553) were discriminative for ΔMRCWARD. TLS(AUC = 0.649) and MRC on ward admission(AUC = 0.696) discriminative for the ΔMRCTOT.CONCLUSION Specific functional, clinical and demographical variables at ICU admission are associated with the functional prognosis during the hospitalization period.

ICU护士认识和应对患者家属ICU后综合征的质性研究

目的了解ICU护士认识和应对住院期间患者家属ICU后综合征的体验,为应对患者家属ICU后综合征提供参考依据。方法采用质性研究中的现象学研究方法,对湖南省衡阳市某三级甲等综合医院重症医学科3个病区的15名ICU护士进行半结构式深入访谈,运用Colaizzi 7步分析法对访谈资料进行分析、提炼主题。结果最终归纳为3个主题,9个亚主题,即ICU护士对患者家属ICU后综合征的认识不足(对家属ICU后综合征认识较局限、难以识别或忽略患者家属ICU后综合征的症状、不确定患者家属ICU后综合征的影响)、积极应对患者家属ICU后综合征(应对以聆听与解释为主、应对以语言与动作为主、尽职尽责护理患者)、多种因素阻碍护士认识家属ICU后综合征(共情疲劳、ICU工作强度高、与患者家属的接触时间较为有限)。结论ICU护士对住院期间患者家属ICU后综合征的认识不足,需加强ICU护士对患者家属ICU后综合征的全面认识,并优化应对策略,缓解家属负性情绪,同时也应积极克服阻碍护士认识患者家属ICU后综合征的因素,促进医护患的和谐关系。
