Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative fluid management on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) of esophagectomy, and to find out the optimal scheme for perioperative fluid administration. Methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled 75 patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer who have received esophagectomy in West China Hospital from June to December 2014. We used the Kroenke's postoperative pulmonary complications classification system to define the PPCs. Patients with PPCs of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ were considered as PPCs group (n=13, 12 males, 1 female, age of 64.62±8.64 years), and others were considered as non-complication group (n=62, 50 males, 12 females, age of 60.55±8.73 years). Intraoperative and postoperative fluid inputs and outputs as well as clinical characteristics between groups were compared. Results Between two groups, there was a great difference in postoperative albumin infusion, intraoperative fluid administration [net input, total input, net input/kg, total input/kg, net input/(kg·h) and total input/(kg·h)] and fluid input on the first postoerative 1–3 days (total input and total input/kg). The cutoff value for total input/(kg·h) in operation and total input on the first 1–3 postoerative days was 12.07 ml/(kg·h) and 178.57 ml/kg, respectively. Conclusion The speed of fluid infusion in operation and total input on postoperative 1-3 days are most important influence factors of PPCs. The speed in operation should not exceed 12.07 ml/(kg·h) and the total input on postoperative 1-3 days should not exceed 178.57 ml/kg. Within this range, an appropriate increase in fluid volume can make patients feel better.
ObjectiveTo explore the scientific method of hospital disease cost management under the disease payment system.MethodsThe data of " breast mass” disease in the case hospital of 2018 were collected, and the cost accounting of the disease was calculated by the income and expenditure ratio method, cost-to-charge ratio method, project-adding method, clinical path method, and activity cost method, respectively. Comprehensive evaluation was conducted for the five methods.ResultsThe direct costs of the disease calculated by income and expenditure ratio method, cost-to-charge ratio method, project-adding method, clinical path method, and activity-based cost method were 3 021.14, 3 387.79, 3 744.45, 3 997.44, and 4 297.18 yuan, respectively, and accounting for 63%, 67%, 70%, 74%, and 80% of total cost, respectively. The standard deviations of direct cost were 514.37, 495.23, 231.22, 317.33, and 197.47, respectively, of which the standard deviation of direct cost of the activity-based costing method was the smallest. The comprehensive scores of key performance indicator of the income and expenditure ratio method, cost-to-charge ratio method, project-adding method, clinical path method, and activity-based cost method were 4.15, 5.40, 7.85, 7.10, and 8.55, respectively.ConclusionsIn terms of the cost results and index evaluation of the disease, the activity-based costing method is the optimal method. The accounting process is close to the real path, which can track the cost drivers, enhance the cost controllability, and is conducive to the management of disease resource consumption.
ObjectiveTo understand the treatment status and economic burden of convulsive epilepsy patients in Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province, who had received an epilepsy management program that was terminated for 6 years, and to estimate the long-term effect of the epilepsy management program.MethodsFollow up the 234 patients in the program of epilepsy prevention and management in rural areas at the end of December 2011 by standardized questionnaire and interview.ResultsAmong the 234 patients who received antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and follow-up management at the end of epilepsy prevention and management program in rural areas, 172 patients received Phenobarbitone (PB) and 62 patients received Sodium valproate (VPA). 86 patients completed the survey. Among them, 46 (53.49%) were still taking original drugs, 31 (36.05%) changed to other AEDs, 9(10.47%) gave up the treatment due to the closure of the program. The treatment costs of patients in adherence group were also lower than that of other patients, and the average cost was only 43.61% of that of the replace group. There were statistical significant differences in annual household income, drug costs, offset seizure frequency and current seizure frequency between the two groups.ConclusionThe epilepsy management program had remarkable long-term effects and short-term effects, it had advantages in treatment effect and reducing drug costs. It could be recommended throughout rural China.
Objective To discuss the impacts of completion rate of fast track items on postoperative management of colorectal cancer surgery. Methods Between February 2010 and May 2010, 100 patients (Group “Year 2010”) were analyzed retrospectively, who were compared with 76 patients (Group “Year 2008”) from the same period of 2008. Postoperative recovery indexes, complications, and completion rate of fast track items were studied and compared. Results For major fast track items, the completion rates of restrict rehydration, early out-of-bed mobilization, early oral intaking, and management of gastric tube and drains were significantly higher in Group “Year 2010” than those in Group “Year 2008” (Plt;0.05). Meanwhile, the completion rate of urinary catheter management was significantly higher in Group “Year 2008” than that in Group “Year 2010” (Plt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, the first flatus of patients in Group “Year 2010” 〔(3.86±1.05) d〕 was significantly earlier than that in Group “Year 2008” 〔(4.28±1.22) d〕, Plt;0.05; for postoperative hospital stay, though, there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). As to the complications, there was also no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions As the concepts of fast track surgery became increasingly favorable, completion rates of fast track items are increased. As a result, more and more fast track items turn into regular perioperative care. Although enhanced recovery has been achieved, better collaboration and localilzation are still needed to make the full advantage of fast track surgery.

Objective To explore perioperative management and postoperative effectiveness of hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle. Methods Between June 1998 and February 2012, 10 cases (12 feet) of hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle were treated with surgery, including 9 cases (11 feet) of hemophilia A and 1 case (1 foot) of hemophilia B. Single foot was involved in 8 cases and both feet in 2 cases, including 3 left feet and 9 right feet. All were males, aged from 13-41 years (mean, 22.6 years). Disease duration was 5-84 months (mean, 32.2 months). Preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 43.2 ± 21.1. Short Form 36 Health Survey Scale (SF-36) score was 45.4 ± 20.0. All patients were given clotting factors (2 000-3 500 U) for pre-experiment and clotting factors substitution therapy was performed perioperatively. Four cases (4 feet) underwent arthrodesis, and 7 cases (8 feet) underwent Achilles tendon lengthening/tendon transposition (1 patient underwent tendon lengthening on the left foot and arthrodesis on the right foot). Results The operation time was 65-265 minutes (mean, 141.1 minutes); 1 case had 400 mL blood loss and 200 mL autogenous blood transfusion, the other cases had less than 50 mL blood loss and no blood transfusion. Wounds healed by first intention in all patients, no postoperative infection, deep vein thrombosis, or other complications occurred. All cases were followed up 6 months to 14 years and 3 months (median, 22 months). The X-ray films at last follow-up showed the patients undergoing arthrodesis obtained complete joint fusion. AOFAS scores at postoperative 6 months and last follow-up were 78.8 ± 14.7 and 75.8 ± 14.5, respectively; SF-36 scores were 76.6 ± 13.1 and 75.5 ± 13.2, respectively; and significant differences were found when compared with preoperative scores (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference between postoperative 6 months and last follow-up (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion For patients with hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle, surgical treatment could relieve foot and ankle pain and improve the function. Clotting factors pre-experiment at preoperation and substitution therapy at perioperation can reduce the risk of severe postoperative hemorrhage.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been highlighted as one of the most important public health problems due to sharply climbing incidence and prevalence. To efficiently attenuate the disease burden and improve the disease management, not only active and effective treatment should be administrated, but also comprehensive follow-up nursing management with innovative and evolving spirits should be implemented. Thus dynamic changes of diseases could be acquired in time and patients are under appropriate medical instruction as soon as possible. This editorial is based on quickly developing medical big data resources and advanced internet techniques, from both aspects of patients and health care providers, briefly talking about integrated management strategy of CKD and its future development in China.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of the whole process management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with high-risk of recurrence and metastasis based on the multidisciplinary team (MDT) mode, and to improve the clinicians’ understanding of the concept of whole process management, so as to improve the survival rate of patients with HCC. MethodThe clinicopathologic data of a HCC patient with high-risk of recurrence and metastasis admitted to the Division of Liver Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsA 52-year-old male patient was diagnosed with HCC with intrahepatic metastasis (China liver cancer staging Ⅱ b, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B) after admission due to “epigastric discomfort for 1+-month and liver occupying for 1+-week”. Through discussion by the MDT mode, the allogeneic liver transplantation was performed after successful downstaging following two conversion therapies. No serious complications occurred after operation, and the patient was discharged on the 23rd day after operation. Up to now, pulmonary bacterial and fungal infections and pulmonary metastases had been found during the postoperative follow-up. After anti-infective therapy and targeted therapy combined with radiotherapy, the patient was significantly relieved, had survived for 34 months after operation, and was still under regular follow-up. ConclusionsFor HCC patients with high-risk of recurrence and metastasis, MDT mode has a good clinical benefit for the whole process management of patient. Through the MDT model, the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of HCC are organically integrated, and the patient’ s diagnosis and treatment plans are dynamically adjusted to realize the whole process management of HCC patient, and to raise the survival rate and improve quality of life of HCC patient.
