Adverse Respiratory Events Increase Post-anesthesia Care Unit Stay in China:A 2-year Retrospective Matched Cohort Study

Despite growing attention to patients,safety worldwide,no data were available on the impact of adverse respiratory events(AREs)on post-anesthesia care and post-operation care in China.This study evaluated the occurrence of AREs,the impact of AREs on length of stay(LOS)in post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)and postoperative time in hospital,and PACU cost and in patient healthcare costs.A retrospective,matched-cohort study was conducted by prospectively collecting the data of 159 AREs in PACU during 2016-2017 in an university hospital in China.Records were reviewed by pre-trained,qualified nurses and/or anesthesiologists.The incidence and the impact of AREs were analyzed.The LOS in PACU and postoperative time in hospital and the costs in PACU and inpatient healthcare costs were also obtained.Results showed that there were 253 AREs involving 156 patients.Hypoxia(n=141,55.73%)and respiratory depression(n=70,27.67%)were the most common AREs.Measurement data including body mass index(BMI)(22.85±4.36 vs.22.32±3.83),duration of procedure(138.47±77.33 min vs.137.44±72.33 min),duration of anesthesia(176.35±82.66 min vs.174.61±78.08 min),LOS(16.53±10.65 days vs.16.57±9.56 days),inpatient healthcare costs($9465.57±9416.33 vs.$8166.51±5762.01),and postoperative LOS(11.26±8.77 days vs.11.9±8.30 days)showed no significant differences between ARE and matched groups(P<0.05).Duration(81.65±54.79 min vs.38.89±26.09 min)and costs($31.99±17.80 vs.$18.72±8.39)in PACU were significantly different in ARE group from those in matched group(P<0.001).Proportion of patients with prolonged stay in PACU was significantly higher in ARE group than in matched group(18.59%vs.1.28%),with an odds ratio(after matching)of 17.58(95%CI=4.11 to 75.10;P<0.001).The AREs that occurred during the immediate postoperative period in PACU increased the incidence rate of prolonged stay,delayed the PACU stay,and increased the costs in PACU,resulting in the need of higher levels of postoperative care than anticipated,but the postoperative LOS and inpatient healthcare costs were unchanged.

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.

Application of Flipped Classroom Combined with PBL Teaching Method in the Teaching of Respiratory Intensive Care Unit Nursing

Objective:The aim is to investigate the application effect of flipped classroom combined with problem-based learning(PBL)teaching method in the teaching of respiratory intensive care unit nursing.Methods:100 fresh nursing students who were interned in the respiratory intensive care unit of our hospital from June 2020 to May 2022 were selected and randomly divided into 50 students in the control group and 50 students in the experimental group.The students in the control group were taught by PBL teaching method,and the students in the experimental group were taught by flipped classroom combined with PBL teaching method.After the completion of the teaching,the teachers combined the performance of the two groups of students,and scored them comprehensively in terms of their professional theoretical knowledge,clinical operation skills,independent learning ability,and teamwork ability,and carried out a survey of the experimental group’s students in terms of their satisfaction with the understanding of theoretical knowledge,clinical operation,independent learning ability,teamwork ability,and other dimensions.Results:There was no statistical significance in the specialized theoretical knowledge scores of the two groups of students(P>0.05).The scores of clinical operation,independent learning ability,and teamwork ability of the two groups of students were statistically significant(P<0.05),and all the scores of the students in the experimental group were higher than that of the control group.More than 90%of the students believed that the flipped classroom combined with PBL teaching method could assist in the comprehension of theoretical knowledge,improve the clinical operation skills,enhance the ability of independent learning and teamwork;there were 92%of the students supported the use of flipped classroom combined with PBL teaching in respiratory intensive care unit nursing teaching.Conclusion:In the teaching of respiratory intensive care unit nursing,the use of flipped classroom combined with PBL teaching method can improve the learning effect of students,and has certain value in teaching.

Effect of programmed comprehensive nursing on delirium incidence in intensive care unit children following severe cardiac surgery

BACKGROUND Programmed comprehensive nursing was adopted for intensive care unit(ICU)children following severe cardiac surgery to improve respiratory function and delirium incidence.AIM To explore how programmed comprehensive nursing impacts respiratory func-tion and delirium incidence in ICU children post cardiac surgery.METHODS Between January 2022 and January 2024,180 pediatric patients from the Chil-dren’s Hospital of Nanjing were admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery and randomly grouped.The control group comprised 90 patients and received routine nursing care.The observation group comprised 90 patients and received program-med comprehensive nursing.Both groups received continuous nursing care until discharge.Their respiratory function,incidence of delirium,and clinical outcomes were compared.The memory state and sleep quality of both groups were com-pared.RESULTS The incidence of delirium was 5.56%in the observation group when admitted to ICU,which was lower than that in the control group(20.00%;P<0.05).The observation group demonstrated higher peak expiratory flow rate,respiratory frequency,deep breathing volume,and tidal volume in the ICU compared with the control group.Additionally,the observation group showed higher sleep depth,sleep latency,night awakening,return to sleep,and sleep quality com-pared with the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Programmed comprehensive nursing in ICU patients following severe cardiac surgery can reduce the impact on respiratory function,improve sleep quality,and alleviate postoperative delirium,showing significant promise for clinical application.

Effects of nursing team communication and collaboration on treatment outcomes in intensive care unit patients with severe pneumonia

BACKGROUND Severe pneumonia is a common severe respiratory infection worldwide,and its treatment is challenging,especially for patients in the intensive care unit(ICU).AIM To explore the effect of communication and collaboration between nursing teams on the treatment outcomes of patients with severe pneumonia in ICU.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 60 patients with severe pneumonia who were treated at the ICU of the hospital between January 1,2021 and December 31,2023.We compared and analyzed the respiratory mechanical indexes[airway resistance(Raw),mean airway pressure(mPaw),peak pressure(PIP)],blood gas analysis indexes(arterial oxygen saturation,arterial oxygen partial pressure,and oxygenation index),and serum inflammatory factor levels[C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),cortisol(COR),and high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1)]of all patients before and after treatment.RESULTS Before treatment,there was no significant difference in respiratory mechanics index and blood gas analysis index between 2 groups(P>0.05).However,after treatment,the respiratory mechanical indexes of patients in both groups were significantly improved,and the improvement of Raw,mPaw,plateau pressure,PIP and other indexes in the combined group after communication and collaboration with the nursing team was significantly better than that in the single care group(P<0.05).The serum CRP and PCT levels of patients were significantly decreased,and the difference was statistically significant compared with that of nursing group alone(P<0.05).The levels of serum COR and HMGB1 before and after treatment were also significantly decreased between the two groups.CONCLUSION The communication and collaboration of the nursing team have a significant positive impact on respiratory mechanics indicators,blood gas analysis indicators and serum inflammatory factor levels in the treatment of severe pneumonia patients in ICU.

Noninvasive Respiratory Strategies in Patients with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and COVID-19 in Gabon: A Prospective Observational Study

Importance: The best respiratory support technique to reduce intubation and mortality in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 is controversial. Objective: To determine the respiratory support technique that could reduce the need for tracheal intubation and mortality in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) of Military’s Hospital (HIAOBO) in Gabon. Design, Setting, and Participants-Methodology: Prospective observational study over 10 months (January 2021-October 2021). We included patients admitted to intensive care for SARS Cov2 pneumonia who had benefited from available ventilatory support: high concentration face mask, High Flow Nasal cannula (HFNC), NIV (Non Invasive Ventilation), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). The choice was guided by the clinical condition, and the choice of the prescribing physicians. Recourse to mechanical ventilation was decided when faced with a Glasgow score of less than 13, an SpO2/FiO2 ratio ≤ 300, a FR ≥ 35/min, the impossibility of drainage of secretions. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the proportion of patients requiring intubation. The secondary outcomes were mortality in ICU. Results: The sample included 97 patients, the average age was55.6 years, hypertension was the main comorbidity (51.1%). Mean respiratory rate (RR) was 30.8 cycles/min, admission SpO2 was 83%, respiratory alkalosis was present in 63% of patients, mean CT involvement was 51%.Respiratory support was NIV (56.7%), CPAP (21.65%), high concentration face mask (18.55%). Sixteen percent (16%) of patients were intubated, 93% of them following failure of NIV. Mortality was 30%, mechanical ventilation was an independent risk factor for mortality. Conclusions: Non Invasive Ventilation, CPAP, and high-concentration face mask were frequently used in patients with COVID-related acute respiratory failure. The CPAP has reduced the need for intubation. Mechanical ventilation is a risk factor for death.

Analysis of the Current Situation and Risk Factors of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection among ICU Patients in Guizhou,China During 2019-2022

Objective:This study aims to explore the prevalence,features,and risk factors of lower respiratory tract infections(LRTIs)in the intensive care unit(ICU)of a newly established hospital in Zunyi City.The goal is to devise strategies for preventing LRTIs in the ICU of new hospitals,thereby mitigating the incidence of nosocomial LRTIs in ICU patients.Methods:A case-control study was conducted from March 2019 to December 2022 to investigate the incidence rate of LRTIs in the ICU of a newly constructed hospital in Zunyi City.Patients with LRTIs constituted the case group,while those without LRTIs constituted the control group,where a 1:1 matching principle was adhered to.A single-factor chi-square(χ2)test was employed to analyze the risk factors,with independent risk factors being explored using a multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 169 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated,comprising 66.28%gram-negative bacteria,17.75%gram-positive bacteria,and 15.97%fungi.The most prevalent pathogens included Acinetobacter baumannii(43.20%),Candida albicans(10.65%),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(8.88%).Of the 82 strains infected by multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients with LRTIs,81.7%were carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,9.8%were multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and 6.1%were carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli.Identified risk factors included smoking history,total hospitalization days,ICU stay length,hypoproteinemia,indwelling gastric tube,intubation type,duration of mechanical ventilation,usage of antibacterial drugs,and administration of protein drugs(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that these factors were independent risk factors for nosocomial LRTIs in ICU patients(P<0.05).Conclusion:ICU patients in our hospital were mainly infected by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.To prevent LRTIs in patients,tailored preventive measures should be developed and the rational use of antibacterial drugs should be promoted.

Recovery from respiratory failure after decompression laparotomy for severe acute pancreatitis

We present three cases of patients (at the age of 56 years, 49 years and 74 years respectively) with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), complicated by intra-abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and respiratory insufficiency with limitations of mechanical ventilation. The respiratory situation of the patients was significantly improved after decompression laparotomy (DL) and lung protective ventilation was re-achieved. ACS was discussed followed by a short review of the literature. Our cases show that DL may help patients with SAP to recover from severe respiratory failure.

Respiratory Support in Severely or CriticallyⅢICU Patients With COVID-19 in Wuhan,China

Summary:This case series aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of severely or critically ill patients with COVID-19 and compare the clinical characteristics of patients who received invasive respiratory support with those of patients who received noninvasive respiratory support.We included all confirmed severe or critical illness cases of COVID-19 admitted to the Intensive Care Unit(ICU)of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University,a COVID-19-designated hospital,from January 8 to March 12,2020.Cases were analyzed for cpidemiological,demographic,clinical,APACHE II,SOFA,radiological features and laboratory data.Outcomes of all patients were followed up as of March 12,2020.This newly emerging virus had caused 55 confirmed severe or critical illness cases in ICU of a COVID-19-designated hospital.Most of the infected patients were men;more than half had underlying diseases,including hypertension,coronary artery disease and diabetes.The median age was 63 years old.Common symptoms at onset of ilness were fever,fatigue and dry cough.Five(9.1%)hospitalized patients were presumed to have been infected in the hospital,and 4(7.3%)health care workers were infected in their work.Of the 55 confirmed severe or critical ilncss cases,10(18.2%)patients died during the follow-up period as of March 12 with the median follow-up period of 28 days(interquartile range 1635).Nine patients received VV-ECMO for severe respiratory failure and 4(44.4%)patients died.Moreover,28 patients received invasive respiratory support and 14(50.0%)patients died.In this single-center study,55 severely or critically ill ICU patients were confirmed to have COVID-19 in Wuhan and the overall mortality was 29.1%。Totally 28(50.9%)of severely or critically ill ICU patients received invasive respiratory support and 14(50.0%)died during the follow-up period.

Elderly adults with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care unit:A narrative review

BACKGROUND In the context of the Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,it has been reported that elderly patients are particularly at risk of developing severe illness and exhibiting increased mortality.While many studies on hospitalized elderly patients with COVID-19 have been published,limited information is available on the characteristics and clinical outcomes of those elderly patients admitted to intensive care unit(ICU).AIM To review the available evidence of the clinical data of elderly patients admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19.METHODS We searched for published articles available in English literature to identify those studies conducted in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19,either exclusively designed for the elderly or for the whole ICU population with COVID-19,provided that analyses according to the patients’age had been conducted.RESULTS Only one study exclusively focusing on critically ill elderly patients admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19 was found.Eighteen additional studies involving 17011 ICU patients and providing information for elderly patients as a subset of the whole study population have also been included in the present review article.Among the whole patient population,included in these studies,8310 patients were older than 65 years of age and 2630 patients were older than 70 years.Clinical manifestations were similar for all patients;however,compared to younger ones,they suffered from more comorbidities and showed a varied,albeit high mortality.CONCLUSION In summary,at present,although elderly patients constitute a considerable proportion of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU due to severe COVID-19,studies providing specific information are limited.The evidence so far suggests that advanced age and comorbidities are associated with worse clinical outcome.Future studies exclusively designed for this vulnerable group are needed.

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.
