Predictive value of initial procalcitonin level in perioperative period of critically ill cancer patients

The predictive value of the initial procalcitonin(PCT)level was explored in the perioperative peniod of citically ill cancer patients.Background:It is quite important to predict infections in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Cancer surgery is characterized by large trauma,long duration,and wide operation scope;and there are many inflammatory factors in the tumor.Common manifestations of systermic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)。such as fever,elevated white blood cells,and elevated infammatory indicators,frequently occur in patients during the penioperative period as a result of the above factors.These factors are diverse and complex;additionally,advanced cancer and the trauma of major surgery are important factors that influence PCT blood levels.Because all of the aforementioned factors make it dificult to distinguish the postoperative inflammatory response fom the true infection in clinical practice,conventional methods cannot prediet disease sevenity or disease course.Methods:A total of 53 patients with endotracheal intubation admitted to the ICU of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2020 to May 2020,were retrospectively selected.According to the patient source,35 cases were assigned to ORIG(Operating Room to ICU Group),and 18 cases were assigned to General Ward to ICU group(GWO).At the ICU admission,the patient's age,sex,surgical site of tumor,reason for ICU and other data were recorded to form a database;PCT,B-type natiuretic peptide(BNP),high sensitivity toponin I(hsTni),serumn creatinine(Cr),serum cystatin C(Cys-c)and other laboratory indicators were detected;scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)and sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)were marked 24 h after ICU admission;Proportion of Antibiotics,Time Antibiotic Application,and Time Indicators(Ventilator support Time,Endotracheal Intubation Time,ICU Stay Time)were recorded during the period from ICU admission to ICU discharge.Results:APAHCE Ⅱ score and SOFA score increased significantly in the GWIG,compared with the ORIG,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01);the GWIG had a significantly longer Time Antibiotic Application than the ORIG,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01);in tems of blood indicators,the PCT,BNP,and hsTNi levels were elevated in the GWIG compared with the ORIG,and the differences were statistically significant(p<0.01);no statistical differences were found in Cr and Cys-C levels(P>0.05).In terms of time indicators,the Ventilator support Time,Endotracheal Intubation Time,and ICU Stay Time were prolonged in the GWIG compared with the ORIG,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).The PCT level was statistically signifcant(P<0.01)when correlated with the Ventilator Supporting Time and Endotracheal Intubation Time;however,the PCT level was negatively correlated with the ICU Stay Time,with a small r(correlation cofficient)value and no statistical significance(P>0.05)when correlated with the ICU Stay Time.Conclusion:The initial PCT level can predict the disease severity in critically ill cancer patients treated with mechanical ventilation during the perioperative period.

Effect of perioperative fluid therapy on early phase prognosis after liver transplantation

BACKGROUND: Although liver transplantation (LT) has made rapid progress, early pulmonary complications still occur. More attention should be paid to fluid therapy that may be an important factor leading to these complications. It is necessary to investigate the correlation between intraoperative and postoperative fluid therapy and early pulmonary complications after LT, then attempt to provide a reasonable fluid therapy in the perioperative period. METHODS: Sixty-two patients who had undergone Ff were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. Based on early phase prognosis after LT, the 62 patients were divided into a non-pulmonary complication group and a pulmonary complication group. Twenty perioperative variables were analyzed in both groups to screen out several factors causing early pulmonary complications, then the parameters reflecting postoperative recovery were analyzed. RESULTS: The pulmonary complication group had 29 patients (46.77%), 3 (4.84%) of whom died during the perioperative period. Using monofactorial analysis for each variable, the two groups differed in the following variables: preoperative lung function, volume of intraoperative transfusion, volume of intraoperative bleeding, and volume of intraoperative net fluid retention and fluid balance (<=-500 ml) in >= 2 of the first 3 days after operation. Analysis of the relationship between multivariate factors and pulmonary complications after LT by logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative lung function, volume of intraoperative bleeding, and fluid balance (<=-500 ml) in >=-2 of the first 3 days after operation were influential factors. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to maintain fluid balance during the perioperative period of LT. If the hemodynamics are stable, appropriate negative fluid balance in the first 3 days after operation apparently decreases the incidence of early pulmonary complications after LT. These measures are associated with better postoperative recovery.

Increased Preoperative Glucose Variability Is Associated with Adverse Perioperative Outcomes Following Orthopedic Surgery in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The association between glucose variability(GV)and adverse perioperative outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients undergoing orthopedic surgery was investigated.A retrospective cohort study was performed by analyzing data on T2DM patients receiving continuous blood glucose(BG)monitoring and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion treatment due to poorly controlled preoperative BG prior to orthopedic surgery.GV was assessed with coefficient of variation(CV).Postoperative and perioperative CV,hypoglycemia cases,and other perioperative outcomes(diabetes preparation time[DPT],length of stay[LOS],and perioperative and infective complication cases)were analyzed.Results showed that a total of 168 patients were grouped into preoperative CV tertiles:1st(n=56):0–0.2921,2nd(n=58):0.2922–0.3779,and 3rd(n=54):0.3780–0.5750.Fasting blood glucose(FBG),perioperative CV,rate of hypoglycemia cases(OR:5.53,95%CI:2.43–12.59)(all P<0.001)and DPT(P=0.024)were higher in the 3rd than in the 1st tertile.After adjustments of covariates,regression analysis indicated that the 3rd tertile was associated with increased perioperative CV(adjusted coefficient=0.515,P<0.001),DPT(adjusted coefficient=0.169,P=0.073),rate of hypoglycemia cases(OR:6.72,95%CI:2.69−16.82,P<0.001)and perioperative complication cases(OR:2.50,95%CI:0.90−7.01,P=0.080).In conclusion,preoperative GV is associated with increased perioperative GV and adverse perioperative outcomes including longer DPT and higher rates of hypoglycemia and perioperative complications.

Application of traditional indexes and adverse events in the ophthalmologic perioperative medical quality evaluation during 2010-2012

AIM: To evaluate the medical quality of ophthalmologic perioperative period during 2010-2012 in our hospital. METHODS: The relevant data of perioperative period were collected in our hospital during 2010-2012, and the medical quality of perioperative period was evaluated by using the traditional evaluation indexes and adverse events. Whereby, the traditional indicators include vision changes, improving of intraocular pressure, diagnostic accordance rate before and after operation, cure improvement rate, successful rescue rate, and incidence of surgical complications, etc Adverse events are associated with ophthalmologic perioperative events including pressure sores, postoperative wound infection, drug adverse events, and equipment related adverse events. RESULTS: There were 1483, 1662 and 1931 ophthalmic operations in our hospital in the year 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. From traditional index analysis, the proportions of vision improvement for each year were 96.43%, 96.76% and 97.32%, respectively; the rates of intraocular pressure improvement were 87.50%, 85.72% and 90.17%, respectively ( P <0.05); the diagnostic accordance rates before and after operation were 99.86%, 99.94% and 99.90%, respectively; cure improvement rates were 99.73%, 99.93% and 99.84%, respectively; the successful rescue rates were 82.98%, 81.46% and 76.66%, respectively; the complications incidence rates were 18.44%, 17.52% and 17.97%, respectively. The negative factor analysis results showed that: among all the patients of ophthalmic surgeries in our hospital during 2010 and 2012, only one case of postoperative wound infection was found in 2011, and also only one case of tumbling in 2010. The adverse drug events for each year were 1 case (0.07%), 2 cases (0.12%), and 4 cases (0.21%), respectively; the medical device adverse events for each year were 3 cases (0.20%), 5 cases (0.30%), and 6 cases (0.31%), respectively. Noticeably, only one case with postoperative infection of endophthalmitis was found in 2011. Moreover, no pulmonary infection or pulmonary embolism occurred during the three years. The perioperative adverse event rates for each year were 0.34% (5/1483), 0.48% (8/1662) and 0.52% (10/1931), respectively. Though incidence was rising during the three years, no statistical significance was observed (P>0.05). It is the same case with drugs and medical devices adverse events (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Traditional indicators reflect an excellent operation of the perioperative ophthalmologic quality, whereas adverse events analysis indicates some underlying problems. Compared with the traditional indexes for medical quality evaluation, the index of adverse events is more reasonable and easier to make an objective evaluation for medical quality of ophthalmologic perioperation, facilitating further refine analysis. Reasonable application of the adverse events indicators helps hospital to make the detailed quality control measures.
