Objective To compare the analgesia effect and clinical rehabilitation between continuous adductor canal block (ACB) and single shot ACB in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Between October 2016 and February 2017, 60 patients with severe knee osteoarthritis undergoing primary unilateral TKA were prospectively recruited in the study. All the patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups and received ultrasound-guided continuous ACB (group A, n=30) or single shot ACB (group B, n=30), respectively. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, nationality, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) grading, and preoperative knee range of motion and quadriceps strength between 2 groups (P>0.05). After operation, the tourniquet time, postoperative drainage volume, hospitalization time, and adverse events in 2 groups were recorded. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest and during activity, the quadriceps strength, the knee range of motion, and the time of 90° knee flexion in 2 groups were also recorded and compared. Results There was no significant difference in tourniquet time, postoperative drainage volume, and incidence of adverse events between 2 groups (P>0.05). But the hospitalization time was significant shorter in group A than in group B (P<0.05). VAS scores at rest and during activity were lower in group A than in group B, with significant differences in VAS score at rest after 12 hours and in VAS score during activity after 8 hours between 2 groups (P<0.05). The quadriceps strength was higher in group A than in group B, with significant difference at 24, 48, and 72 hours (P<0.05). The knee range of motion was significantly better in group A than in group B at 24, 48, 72 hours and on discharge (P<0.05). The time of 90° knee flexion was significantly shorter in group A than in group B (t=–2.951, P=0.016). There were 4 patients in group A and 7 patients in group B requiring meperidine hydrochloride (50 mg/time) within 24 hours, and 3 patients in group A and 7 patients in group B at 24 to 48 hours, and 1 patient in group A and 3 patients in group B at 48 to 72 hours. Effusion in the catheter site occurred in 2 cases of group A, but no catheter extrusion occurred. Conclusion Continuous ACB is superior in analgesia both at rest and during activity and opioid consumption compared with single shot ACB after TKA. And the quadriceps strength could be reserved better in continuous ACB group, which can perform benefits in early rehabilitation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of non-intubation anesthesia in thoracic surgery.MethodsFrom September 2017 to December 2019, 296 patients were operated at department of thoracic surgery in our hospital. There were 167 males and 129 females with an average age of 50.69±12.95 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were intubated: 150 patients were in a non-intubation group, including 83 males and 67 females with an average age of 49.91±13.59 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years, and 146 patients were in an intubation group including 84 males and 62 females with an average age of 51.49±12.26 years, ranging from 16 to 74 years. Intraoperative data, postoperative recovery, inflammatory response of the two groups were compared.ResultsThere was no statistical difference between the two groups in operation time, blood loss, the lowest oxygen saturation or other indicators (P>0.05). But the highest partial pressure of carbon dioxide of the non-intubation group was higher than that of the intubation group (P=0.012). The non-intubation group was superior to the intubation group in postoperative recovery and inflammatory response (P<0.05).ConclusionThe non-intubation anesthesia is safe and maneuverable in thoracic surgery, and it has some advantages in accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.
Pilon fracture is one of the most common and complex fractures in clinic. It has many postoperative complications, such as limitation of motion, pain, swelling, and decreased muscle strength. Complications will seriously affect patients’ ankle function. If the accelerated rehabilitation support can be obtained, patients can obtain a good functional recovery in the later stage. At present, there are few reports on enhanced rehabilitation related to Pilon fractures. This article introduces the rehabilitation treatment protocol for perioperative accelerated rehabilitation of Pilon fractures, mainly including rehabilitation evaluation, preoperative rehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation treatment, aiming to provide some reference for standardizing the rehabilitation treatment of Pilon fractures in the perioperative period.
Pain education based on biomedical models is currently a common approach to patient pain management. However, due to its inability to accurately explain pain, patients may develop incorrect beliefs and understandings about pain, leading to anxiety and fear of movement. Pain neuroscience education is based on a biological psychological social educational model, aiming to redefine the concept of pain. It has a positive effect on pain, catastrophizing, anxiety, and fear of movement, and is a reliable new method for pain rehabilitation therapy and management. This article provides a review of the concept, implementation principles, implementation methods, dosage factors, combination therapy, and clinical application of pain neuroscience education, in order to provide ideas for the rehabilitation therapy of pain.
Aiming at the human-computer interaction problem during the movement of the rehabilitation exoskeleton robot, this paper proposes an adaptive human-computer interaction control method based on real-time monitoring of human muscle state. Considering the efficiency of patient health monitoring and rehabilitation training, a new fatigue assessment algorithm was proposed. The method fully combined the human neuromuscular model, and used the relationship between the model parameter changes and the muscle state to achieve the classification of muscle fatigue state on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the fatigue trend. In order to ensure the safety of human-computer interaction, a variable impedance control algorithm with this algorithm as the supervision link was proposed. On the basis of not adding redundant sensors, the evaluation algorithm was used as the perceptual decision-making link of the control system to monitor the muscle state in real time and carry out the robot control of fault-tolerant mechanism decision-making, so as to achieve the purpose of improving wearing comfort and improving the efficiency of rehabilitation training. Experiments show that the proposed human-computer interaction control method is effective and universal, and has broad application prospects.
Objective To investigate the role of cardiac rehabilitation program in the early recovery after minimally invasive incision coronary artery bypass grafting with general anesthesia. MethodsA retrospective study was performed on the patients who underwent minimally invasive incision coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2015 to January 2020 with general anesthesia in our hospital. The patients were divided into a cardiac rehabilitation group and a control group. The clinical data of the patients were collected in 6 months and 12 months after the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation program and were analyzed by propensity score-matching analysis with a ratio of 1∶1. The main outcomes were the peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) of cardiopulmonary function test and the number of patients attending cardiovascular specialties in tertiary hospitals during the follow-up period (20 months). ResultsA total of 600 patients were enrolled, including 200 patients in the cardiac rehabilitation group [137 males and 63 females, aged 61.00 (56.00, 65.00) years] and 400 patients in the control group [285 males and 115 females, aged 60.00 (56.00, 65.00) years]. After matching, 176 patients were included in each group, and the basical clinical data of the pateints were comparable (P>0.05). The VO2 peak of the cardiac rehabilitation group after 6 months and 12 months of cardiac rehabilitation was significantly different from that of the control group [6 months: 1.96 (1.59, 2.38) L/min vs. 1.72 (1.38, 2.12) L/min, P<0.001; 12 months: 2.40 (2.21, 2.63) L/min vs. 2.12 (1.83, 2.45) L/min, P<0.001]. During the follow-up period, there was a statistical difference in the cardiovascular specialist visits in tertiary hospitals (P=0.004). ConclusionCardiac rehabilitation program has a positive effect on the recovery of minimally invasive incision coronary artery bypass grafting with general anesthesia, and can improve the exercise ability of patients.
With the development of rehabilitation medicine being promoted as a national strategy, the rehabilitation medicine has developed rapidly in China, and the number of rehabilitation medicine departments in tertiary general hospitals has increased greatly. However, the discipline development faces some problems, such as unreasonable physical condition setting, nonstandard clinical path of rehabilitation technology, inaccurate discipline positioning, loopholes in safety management, inadequate rehabilitation quality control, and imperfect talent construction system. This paper attempts to discuss the strategic thinking of the development of rehabilitation medicine from six dimensions: foundation, technology, system, safety, quality control, and talents, so as to provide a reference for discipline builders.
Objective To study the application effect of Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model in the rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke. Methods A total of 224 young and middle-aged patients with stroke admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between August 2018 and August 2020 were divided into four groups (control group, Satir group, Snyder group, and combined group) according to the random number table method by taking admission time as sequence. All patients were given rehabilitation training on the basis of conventional treatment, and the Satir group was given group guidance of Satir model, the Snyder group was given hope therapy based on Snyder hope theory, and the combined group was given intervention combined Snyder hope theory with Satir model. All patients were continuously treated for six weeks. The scores of Herth Hope Index (HHI), Self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), exercise rehabilitation willingness questionnaire, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ (HPLP Ⅱ), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were compared among the four groups before and after intervention. Results There were 53, 52, 54, and 52 patients enrolled in the control group, the Satir group, the Snyder group, and the combined group, respectively. The differences among the four groups in basic information such as sex, age, and type of stroke and the scores of the above scales before intervention were not statistically significant (P>0.05). After intervention, the total scores of HHI scale (27.65±6.34, 30.54±6.85, 32.79±7.12, 35.08±7.63), scores of exercise rehabilitation willingness (39.85±8.16, 40.52±7.93, 40.17±8.25, 43.81±7.46), total scores of HPLP Ⅱ scale (149.87±26.08, 159.32±26.73, 165.89±28.01, 173.18±28.54), and scores of positive coping style of SCSQ scale (19.65±5.08, 22.46±5.29, 25.04±4.91, 28.45±5.12) of the four groups significantly increased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05), while the total scores of SPBS scale (27.35±4.92, 23.74±5.02, 25.16±4.98, 21.49±5.27) and scores of negative coping style of SCSQ scale (4.83±1.25, 3.71±1.02, 3.94±1.08, 4.13±0.96) significantly decreased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05); the scores of HHI scale, exercise rehabilitation willingness, HPLP Ⅱ scale, and positive coping style of SCSQ scale of the combined group were higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05), while the score of SPBS scale was lower than that of the other three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model for rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke can help to improve the hope level, reduce the self-perceived burden, and improve the exercise rehabilitation willingness, health behaviors and coping styles. In addition, it is of great significance for promoting the rehabilitation of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of a new rehabilitation intervention model based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Healthy (ICF) concept in perioperative treatment on patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).MethodsFrom June 2017 to January 2019, AIS patients with Cobb angle below 80° were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by the method of randomized block design. The patients in the control group received routine perioperative rehabilitation intervention, while the patients in the experimental group received rehabilitation mode intervention based on ICF concept. The therapeutic effect of the two groups including functional and activity dimensions was observed.ResultsA total of 40 patients were included, with 20 in each group. Two patients withdrew the control group. On the fourth day after surgery, the total score of Modified Barthel Index (50.55±8.87 vs. 18.99±5.63; t=13.264, P<0.001) and Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) (3.68±0.13 vs. 3.27±0.11; t=10.355, P<0.001) in the experimental group were all better than those in the control group. In the SRS-22 scores, statistically significant differences in comparison of function (2.79±0.29 vs. 1.90±0.48; t=6.884, P<0.001), and self image (3.91±0.27 vs. 3.38±0.32; t=5.539, P<0.001) between the two groups were found. There was no statistically significant difference in pain indicators and muscle strength between the two groups in the two postoperative evaluations (P>0.05). ConclusionsThe treatment based on the concept of ICF can improve the daily living ability in the short term with the safe and acceptable premise. The concept of stimulating patient autonomy, improving patient independence, and promoting social treatment, may improve the overall state of the patients.
