Methods: A total of 85 elderly patients with lung cancer treated in our hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were included as the study population for this research. They were divided into a study group of 42 cases and a regular group of 43 cases. The regular group of elderly patients received routine nursing care, while the study group of elderly patients was provided with the operating room nursing care work procedure sheet. The surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, time to mobilization, and postoperative complication rate were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results: Compared to the regular group, the study group had significantly shorter surgical duration and time to mobilization, as well as less intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.05). The overall incidence of postoperative complications in the study group (4.76%) was significantly lower than that in the regular group (19.05%) (P Conclusion: Formulating the operating room nursing work procedure sheet for elderly lung cancer patients can effectively improve surgical efficiency, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and promote patient prognosis in thoracoscopic radical surgery. Therefore, this model is worth promoting and adopting in clinical practice.展开更多

According to the anesthesia method, it was divided into the conventional group and the observation group, 40 cases in each group. The conventional group was anesthetized with propofol, midazolam, sufentanil, and atracurium sulfonate. The observation group was anesthetized with dexmedetomidine on the basis of the conventional group. The changes of vascular dynamics were compared between the two groups before induction (T0), induction 5 min (T1), surgery (T2), extubation immediately (T3) and 5 min after extubation (T4). The changes of immune function, inflammation and stress index in T0, T2 and 24h (T5) were compared between the two groups.Results: There were no significant differences in T0 vascular kinetics, immune function and inflammation stress between the two groups (P<0.05). Compared with T0, MAP, HR and CVP were significantly increased in the conventional group at T3 and T4 (P<0.05), and MAP, HR and CVP were significantly increased in the observation group at T3 (P<0.05). Compared with the conventional group in T3, T4, the MAP, HR, and CVP levels in the observation group at T3 and T4 were significantly lower than the conventional group (P<0.05). Compared with T0, the levels of immune function IgG, IgA, IgM and NK in T2 and T5 were significantly lower in the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in IgG, IgA, IgM and NK levels between T2 and T5 in the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with T0, the stress levels of NE and E were significantly increased at T2, and the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-αand Cor were significantly increased at T2 and T5 (P<0.05). Compared with the conventional group at T2, the NE and E levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05), and the levels of TNF-α and Cor in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group at T2 and T5 (P<0.05).Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine anesthesia has little effect on perioperative hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer radical resection, and can relieve stress response, so it is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Postoperative pain management and cognitive function preservation are crucial for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer(LC).This is achieved using either a thoracic paravertebral block(TPVB)or sufentanil(SUF)-based multimodal analgesia.However,the efficacy and impact of their combined use on postoperative pain and postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD)remain unclear.AIM To explore the analgesic effect and the influence on POCD of TPVB combined with SUF-based multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection for LC to help optimize postoperative pain management and improve patient outcomes.METHODS This retrospective analysis included 107 patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection for LC at The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Henan Cancer Hospital between May 2021 and January 2023.Patients receiving SUF-based multimodal analgesia(n=50)and patients receiving TPVB+SUF-based multimodal analgesia(n=57)were assigned to the control group and TPVB group,respectively.We compared the Ramsay Sedation Scale and visual analog scale(VAS)scores at rest and with cough between the two groups at 2,12,and 24 h after surgery.Serum levels of epinephrine(E),angio-tensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ),norepinephrine(NE),superoxide dismutase(SOD),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and S-100 calcium-binding proteinβ(S-100β)were measured before and 24 h after surgery.The Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was administered 1 day before surgery and at 3 and 5 days after surgery,and the occurrence of POCD was monitored for 5 days after surgery.Adverse reactions were also recorded.RESULTS There were no significant time point,between-group,and interaction effects in Ramsay sedation scores between the two groups(P>0.05).Significantly,there were notable time point effects,between-group differences,and interaction effects observed in VAS scores both at rest and with cough(P<0.05).The VAS scores at rest and with cough at 12 and 24 h after surgery were lower than those at 2 h after surgery and gradually decreased as postoperative time increased(P<0.05).The TPVB group had lower VAS scores than the control group at 2,12,and 24 h after surgery(P<0.05).The MMSE scores at postoperative days 1 and 3 were markedly higher in the TPVB group than in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of POCD was significantly lower in the TPVB group than in the control group within 5 days after surgery(P<0.05).Both groups had elevated serum E,Ang Ⅱ,and NE and decreased serum SOD levels at 24 h after surgery compared with the preoperative levels,with better indices in the TPVB group(P<0.05).Marked elevations in serum levels of VEGF,TGF-β1,TNF-α,and S-100β were observed in both groups at 24 h after surgery,with lower levels in the TPVB group than in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION TPVB combined with SUF-based multimodal analgesia further relieves pain in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical surgery for LC,enhances analgesic effects,reduces postoperative stress response,and inhibits postoperative increases in serum VEGF,TGF-β1,TNF-α,and S-100β levels.This scheme also reduced POCD and had a high safety profile.

文摘Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on immune function, hemodynamics and stress response in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer Methods: 80 elderly patients who was underwent radical thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery from September 2016 to February 2018 were selected. According to the anesthesia method, it was divided into the conventional group and the observation group, 40 cases in each group. The conventional group was anesthetized with propofol, midazolam, sufentanil, and atracurium sulfonate. The observation group was anesthetized with dexmedetomidine on the basis of the conventional group. The changes of vascular dynamics were compared between the two groups before induction (T0), induction 5 min (T1), surgery (T2), extubation immediately (T3) and 5 min after extubation (T4). The changes of immune function, inflammation and stress index in T0, T2 and 24h (T5) were compared between the two groups.Results: There were no significant differences in T0 vascular kinetics, immune function and inflammation stress between the two groups (P<0.05). Compared with T0, MAP, HR and CVP were significantly increased in the conventional group at T3 and T4 (P<0.05), and MAP, HR and CVP were significantly increased in the observation group at T3 (P<0.05). Compared with the conventional group in T3, T4, the MAP, HR, and CVP levels in the observation group at T3 and T4 were significantly lower than the conventional group (P<0.05). Compared with T0, the levels of immune function IgG, IgA, IgM and NK in T2 and T5 were significantly lower in the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in IgG, IgA, IgM and NK levels between T2 and T5 in the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with T0, the stress levels of NE and E were significantly increased at T2, and the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-αand Cor were significantly increased at T2 and T5 (P<0.05). Compared with the conventional group at T2, the NE and E levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05), and the levels of TNF-α and Cor in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group at T2 and T5 (P<0.05).Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine anesthesia has little effect on perioperative hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer radical resection, and can relieve stress response, so it is worthy of clinical application.

文摘Objective:To explore factors related to postoperative pulmonary infection in lung cancer patients after recovery from COVID-19 and to provide methods for preventing and reducing the incidence of postoperative lung infection in patients with lung cancer.Methods:A total of 92 patients who underwent lung cancer surgery in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery of Yichang Central People’s Hospital from January 28,2023,to March 3,2023,were selected.They were divided into a pulmonary infection group(47 cases)and a nonpulmonary infection group(45 cases)according to whether pulmonary infection occurred.General clinical data of patients were collected and collated to analyse the related influencing factors of pulmonary infection in lung cancer patients after recovery from COVID-19.Results:Univariate analysis showed that patient age(≥60 years),fever after COVID-19 infection,oral and laryngeal symptoms,digestive tract symptoms,neurological symptoms,long-term smoking history,hypertension history,and operation time(≥3 h)were correlated with pulmonary infection(all P<0.05).There was no significant correlation between postoperative pulmonary infection and sex,ocular,nasal and tongue symptoms,systemic symptoms,duration of COVID-19,COPD,lobectomy site,incision pain,mechanical ventilation time(≥6 h),drainage tube retention time(3 d),surgical method(P>0.05).Logistic multivariate analysis showed that age(≥60 years old),long operation time(≥3 h)and long-term smoking history were independent influencing factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with radical resection of lung cancer(P>0.05).Conclusion:In this study,older age(≥60 years old),long-term smoking history,and long operation time(≥3 h)were risk factors for pulmonary infection after lung cancer surgery.In the future,active treatment measures can be taken to address these risk factors during the perioperative period to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection.
文摘Complete resection continues to be the gold standard for the treatment of earlystage lung cancer.The landmark Lung Cancer Study Group trial in 1995 established lobectomy as the minimum intervention necessary for the management of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer,as it was associated with lower recurrence and metastasis rates than sublobar resection and lower postoperative morbidity and mortality than pneumonectomy.There is a growing tendency to perform sublobar resection in selected cases,as,depending on factors such as tumor size,histologic subtype,lymph node involvement,and resection margins,it can produce similar oncological results to lobectomy.Alternative treatments such as stereotactic body radiotherapy and radiofrequency ablation can also produce good outcomes in inoperable patients or patients who refuse surgery.
文摘Buitrago and colleagues should be commended on an excellent case report on the effective use of the robotic platform for a successful minimally invasive left lower lobectomy for a patient with biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma.1 Despite a predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second(ppoFEV1)of 23%and a preoperative diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide(DLCO)of 21%,the patient underwent a lobectomy without any intraoperative complications or evidence of disease at 15 months follow-up.Lymph node sampling was performed from 5 stations.The postoperative length of staywas not clearly stated.The authors made several interesting points about the impact of pulmonary function on postoperative outcomes,the oncological efficacy of lobectomy versus sublobar resections,and merits of roboticassisted thoracoscopic surgery(RATS)versus thoracotomy and conventional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS).We would like to discuss these points in further detail based on the available evidence in the current literature.
