ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of airway management drugs on the respiratory function and postoperative recovery of patients who had moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD) undergoing an open chest surgery. MethodThere were a total of 22 patients suffering from both lung cancer, esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma and moderate to severe COPD(of which there were 16 males and 6 females; accepting traditional operation 5 cases and minimally-invasive operation 17 cases; lung cancer 16 cases, esophageal cancer 4 cases and gastroesophageal junction carcinoma 2 cases as the observation group). To statistic the respiratory function and arterial blood gas analysis before and after treating with airway management drugs. And compare the postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs) and hospital-stay with 50 patients who have no COPD(of which there were 34 males and 16 females; accepting traditional operation 17 cases and minimally-invasive operation 33 cases; lung cancer 35 cases, esophageal cancer 11 cases and gastroesophageal junction carcinoma 4 cases as the control group). ResultThere was a statistical difference of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1), forced vital capacity(FVC) and maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV) after the above treatment by 7 to 10 days and comparing with prior treatment(P<0.05). Partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2) increased with no statistical difference(P>0.05) while PaCO2 decreased with a statistical difference(P<0.05）. Comparing with patients without COPD, the incidences of PPCs and postoperative hospital stay were of no statistical difference(P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with moderate or severe COPD with airway management drugs(antibiotics,glucocorticoids, bronchodilators and phlegm dissolving agent) in perioperative period could improve the respiratory function and operation tolerance effectively, reduce the incidence of PPCs and shorten postoperative hospital stay.
Objective To investigate the status of nutrition, nutritional support, and postoperative nutrition-related complications in patients with spinal deformity during orthopedic perioperative period. Methods From February to August 2021, patients who underwent spinal orthopedic surgery for spinal deformity in Peking University Third Hospital were collected. A survey was conducted using self-designed questionnaire, including patient’s general information (gender, age, and type of spinal deformity), nutrition-related information (risks of malnutrition, forms of nutritional support), and postoperative nutrition-related complications. Results A total of 39 patients with spinal deformity were enrolled, and 46.2% (18 cases) were at risk of malnutrition. There were a total of 174 times of nutritional support, and 96.0% (167 times) were parenteral nutrition. The patients’ energy intake from nutritional support accounted for 34.41% of the daily goal energy intake averagely. At admission, one day after operation, and at discharge, the prealbumin was (215.51±34.69), (172.85±31.85), and (163.67±29.15) mg/L, respectively, and the hemoglobin was (138.08±15.67), (119.92±18.01), and (117.69±14.76) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower one day after operation and at discharge than those at admission (P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications during hospitalization was 5.1% (2/39). Conclusions Patients undergoing spinal deformity orthopedics are at high risk of overall malnutrition during the perioperative period, their clinical nutritional interventions are mostly based on parenteral nutrition with a single infusion of nutritional preparations, and the nutritional status is not significantly improved. However, the incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications is low. Standardized nutrition interventions should be strengthened in the future.
Objective To explore the perioperative management of the coexisting diseases for the elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of perioperative management for coexisting diseases in 528 patients with gastric cancer over 70 years old treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from March 1980 to November 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main coexisting diseases included cardiovascuclar disease (259 cases, 49.05%), respiratory disease (161 cases, 30.49%), diabetes (72 cases, 13.64%). Adjusting blood pressure and blood glucose, improving cardiopulmonary function, and hepatic and renal function were mainly given. The common postoperative complications included intestinal obstruction (10 cases), pneumonia (10 cases), reflux esophagitis (9 cases), functional evacuation disorder of gastric remnant (7 cases), and anastomotic leakage (5 cases). Ten patients died during perioperative period: 6 died of heart and lung failure, 2 of acute myocardial infarction, 1 of anastomotic leakage, 1 of intestinal obstruction. Conclusions The common coexisting diseases in the elderly patients with gastric cancer are hypertension， bronchitis and diabetes. Complete assessment of the patient’s general health before operation and intensive perioperative management of the coexisting diseases not only can decrease the risk of surgical procedures， but also decrease the incidence of complication and perioperative mortality.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy from inception to January 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 1 034 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy could shorten first exhaust time (MD=?17.16, 95%CI ?21.86 to ?12.46, P<0.000 01), postoperative catheter indwelling time (MD=?43.44, 95%CI ?46.65 to ?40.23, P<0.000 01) and drainage tube indwelling time (MD=?39.91, 95%CI ?57.58 to ?22.23, P<0.000 01), and reduce the incidence of complications after adrenalectomy (OR=0.26, 95%CI 0.1 to 0.39, P<0.000 01). There were no statistically differences in operation time (MD=?1.18, 95%CI ?3.22 to 0.86, P=0.26) and blood loss (MD=0.25, 95%CI ?2.84 to 3.34, P=0.88) between two groups.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that, compared with the conventional rehabilitation group, fast track surgery can promote postoperative recovery of patients with adrenalectomy more safely and effectively, which has clinical promotion value. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.

Methods The related literatures in recent years were reviewed, and the applications of various kinds of radiological techniques in perioperative period of liver transplantation and radiological strategies of major complications after liver transplantation were summarized. Results Transplantation has become an effective option for treatment of patients with irreversible severe liver dysfunction. Radiological assessment supplies prompt and accurate information for clinic to increase the success rate and reduce the complications. So it plays an irreplaceable role. Conclusions Radiology assessment is important for screening donors and recipients before liver transplantation， following up and monitoring the complications. The doctor of imaging department could grasp the different imaging appearance in perioperative period of liver transplantation.
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of severe retinal degenerative diseases leading to permanent visual impairment. IRDs are the major cause of irreversible blindness in children and working age groups. Gene therapy is a new clinical treatment method and currently the only clear and effective treatment for IRDs, while, there are still risks in clinical research and application. How to standardize perioperative management and reduce the potential risks of treatment is one of the keys to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment. However, there is no systematic and standardized guidance on the perioperative management for IRDs gene therapy. Therefore, in order to standardize the perioperative management, the Fundus Disease Group of Ophthalmology Society of Chinese Medical Association and Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized domestic experts to put forward standardized opinions on the perioperative management of IRDs gene therapy in China after repeated discussion and combined with domestic and foreign research experience, so as to provide clinicians with reference and application in clinical research and practice.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of different flaps in the treatment of skin defect of hell. METHODS: Forty-six patients with skin defect of hell were adopted in this study. There were 39 males and 7 females, 29 years old in average. Six different flaps were applied in the reconstructive operation, 14 plantaris medialis flaps, 4 flexor digitorum brevis muscle flaps, 3 abductor hallucis flaps, 7 latissimus dorsi flaps, 16 distal medialis flaps of leg pedicled with the cutaneous branch of posterior fibial artery, 2 foot dorsum flaps. RESULTS: All the flaps survived, primary healing of the wound in 45 cases and secondary healing in 1 case. Followed up for 3 months to 4 years, 43 patients obtained good flap sensation, the function of weight bearing were satisfied in 43 patients. CONCLUSION: The six different flaps should be applied according to patient’s condition individually. The sensation of flap is very important to the function of weight bearing.
Objective To systematically review the efficacy of ambroxol for lung protection in perioperative period. Methods We followed the Cochrane Collaboration methodology to conduct systematic reviews. We searched relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI and VIP. We assessed the methodological quality for each outcome by grading the quality, and used RevMan5.0.0 to perform meta-analysis. Results Eight RCTs were eligible and included 669 patients. All of these trials used randomization but the quality scales were B. Compared to the control group, the ambroxol group had a statistically significant benefit in atelectasis, pulmonary complications, cough and expectoration degree. The RR (95%CI) were 0.44 (0.25, 0.78), 0.51 (0.34, 0.75), 0.39 (0.16, 0.94) and 0.22 (0.09, 0.53), respectively. The ambroxol group was also better than the control group in sputum volume, sputum characteristics, rales and pulmonary surfactant. Conclusion Ambroxol can improve respiratory system symptoms post-operatively, reduce pulmonary complications, and prevent pulmonary surfactant from decreasing during operation. Ambroxol has a satisfactory lung protective effect in the preoperative period, but we can’t define a proper dose and usage time.
Objective To explore the application effect of process optimization in perioperative venous access management. Methods A total of 205 general surgery patients in the Operating Room of Cheng Du Shang Jin Nan Fu Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to May 2018 were selected as the control group, and 205 general surgery patients from June to August 2018 were selected as the observation group. The traditional management process was used in the control group, and the process optimization management was performed in the observation group. The establishment of venous access and related complications between the two groups of patients, as well as the satisfaction of patients and staff before and after the process optimization were compared. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, education level, operation type, anesthesia method, operation duration, or intraoperative intravenous infusion channels between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, educational background, job title, job nature, or working years of the staff participating in the satisfaction survey before and after the process optimization (P>0.05). The rate of repetitive venous puncture (15.61% vs. 58.05%) and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach (10.73% vs. 52.20%) in the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of tube blockage, detubation, or phlebitis/exudation between the two groups (P>0.05). After process optimization, patient satisfaction (22.91±3.43 vs. 17.44±4.90) and staff satisfaction (28.17±2.56 vs. 20.65±3.71) were higher than before optimization, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The process optimization of venous access management for perioperative patients can effectively reduce the rate of venous repeated venipuncture and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach, reduce invasive operations on patients, reduce the ineffective work of nurses, avoid the waste of medical resources such as manpower and materials, and improve the satisfaction of patients and staff. It is worthy of promotion and application.
There is increasing evidence that microorganisms play a complex and important role in human health and disease, and that the in vivo microbiome can directly or indirectly affect the host’s immune system, endocrine system, and nervous system. Therefore, a relatively stable equilibrium between the host and the microbiome is crucial in human health. However, in the special pathophysiological state of the perioperative period, preoperative anxiety and sleep deprivation, anesthesia intervention and surgical injury, postoperative medication and complications may all have different effects on the microbial composition of various organs in the body, resulting in pathogenic microorganisms, and the balance between beneficial microorganisms is altered. This may affect patient the outcomes and prognosis in a direct or indirect manner. This paper will provide a systematic review of key studies to understand the impact of perioperative stress on the commensal microbiome, provide a fresh perspective on optimizing perioperative management strategies, and discuss possible potential interventions to restore microbiome-mediated steady state.
