Sedation and analgesia techniques are widely used in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. The main purpose is to relieve the anxiety and pain of patients and reduce the risk of complications. Esketamine has obvious advantages in the clinical application of sedative and analgesic endoscopy. For example, it has strong sedative and analgesic efficacy, slight influence on respiratory circulation with its sympathomimetic properties, rapid recovery, improved postoperative cognitive function, and fewer adverse reactions. However, due to the dose-dependent side effects of esketamine, it is necessary to pay attention to adverse reactions such as increased drainage, psychotropic symptoms, nausea and vomiting, and vertigo. This article summarizes the clinical effect of esketamine, the selection of drug dosage and the research progress of clinical application in special population during diagnosis and treatment of digestive endoscopy, respiratory endoscopy and gynecological endoscopy, in order to provide a reference for clinical research and drug guidance.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of support plates on Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures.MethodsPatients with Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures underwent support plates treatment between April 2013 and September 2014 by using the medial incision or posterior medial incision, if necessary, with other auxiliary incisions, with limited contact compression plate, 1/3 tubular plate or " T” plate to support the fracture. ResultsA total of 14 patients including 6 males and 8 females with an average age of (35.2±9.8) years (ranged from 20 to 52 years) were enrolled in this study and followed up for 12–25 months with an average of (16.3±4.0) months. The knee joints were flexed 80–130° with an average of (97.9±13.1)° one month after the surgery and 90–140° with an average of (119.3±12.1)° three months after the surgery. One year postoperatively, the mean Hospital of Special Surgery knee score ranged from 78 to 96 with an average of 88.4±4.9. Last follow-up assessment of knee function according to Rasmussen scoring system showed excellent in 8 cases, good in 4 cases, and fair in 2 cases; the excellent and good rate was 85.7%. No postoperative complications such as infection, nonunion, vascular nerve injury, or internal fixation failure occurred. ConclusionThe support plates for the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures can maintain good reduction, prevent the secondary collapse of the tibial plateau, ensure that knee joint has good alignment, less complications with vascular or nerve injuries, and finally get a satisfied function recovery.
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of three different wetting liquid supply modes for noninvasive ventilation. MethodsNinety patients who accepted noninvasive ventilation between February and October 2014 were randomly divided into three groups with 30 in each. Patients in group A underwent humidification with traditional kettle water; those in group B received humidification by one-time automatic water supplying; and patients in group C received continuous infusion to add water for humidification. The wetting effect and humidification related situations among the three groups of patients were compared and analyzed. ResultsThere were statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of wetting effect, comfort degree, water renewal cycle, working time and economic cost (P<0.05). Good wetting rate of group C was superior to group A and B (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between group A and B (P>0.05). Humidification comfort degree of group C was obviously higher than that in group A and B (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between group A and B (P>0.05). Water renewal cycle and working time of group C were significantly shorter than those in group A and B (P<0.05). At the same time, economic cost of group A and C was significantly less than that of group B (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between group A and C (P>0.05). ConclusionThe kind of continuous infusion for humidification in noninvasive ventilation has a good therapeutic effect for patients receiving airway wetting therapy, which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
Objective To compare right anterolateral minithoracotomy and traditional median sternotomy in the treatment of left atrial myxoma. Methods Forty-one patients with left atrial myxoma treated in our hospital from January 2009 to January 2018 were divided into two groups according to the operation method: a right anterolateral minithoracotomy group including 15 patients, with 7 males and 8 females, aged 45.1±15.4 years; a median sternotomy group including 26 patients, with 10 males and 16 females, aged 49.4±11.9 years. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups. All patients completed the operation without perioperative death. There was no significant difference in the operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic clamp time or the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. However, compared with the median sternotomy group, the right anterolateral minithoracotomy group had shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay, and less volume of drainage and blood transfusion 24 hours after surgery (all P<0.05). After 3–106 months follow-up, no recurrence was observed in both groups. Conclusion Compared with traditional median sternotomy for left atrial myxoma resection, right anterolateral minithoracotomy is safe, effective and less traumatic. It can be used as a routine treatment for left atrial myxoma.
ObjectiveTo analyze the choice of initial antibiotic treatment for health care-associated pneumonia (HCAP). MethodA retrospective study was conducted in patients with HCAP hospitalized in the Emergency Department of West China Hospital from January 1st to December 31st, 2014. A total of 156 HCAP patients were divided into anti-multidrug-resistant treatment group (group A, n=72) and quinolone monotherapy group (group B, n=84). The baseline characteristics, comorbidities, severity, pathogen distribution, antibiotics and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. ResultsIn group B, there were 46 males and 38 females with the age of (59.9±10.9) years, and the pneumonia severity index (PSI) score was 89.5±22.7; in group A, there were 44 males and 28 females with the age of (62.2±12.2) years, and the PSI score was 94.4±23.6. The differeces between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The duration of using antibiotics in group B was (14.5±3.7) days, which was longer than that in group A[(12.8±3.8) days, P=0.005]. The detection rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria, the proportion of changing antibiotics, the average length of hospitalization, the proportion of using mechanical ventilation, the proportion of patients transferred into Intensive Care Unit and 30 days mortality in group B was 17.9%, 34.5%, (16.9±3.6) days, 11.9%, 9.5%, and 4.8%, respectively; which were similar to those in group A[15.3%, 22.2%, (17.3±3.9) days, 16.8%, 12.5%, and 4.2%, respectively] (P>0.05). ConclusionsIt is unnecessary for all HCAP patients to receive anti-multidrug-resistant treatment. We should regard the risk factors and the popular local features of microbiology to determine the choice of antibiotic treatment.
ObjectiveTo explore the practice of the evidence-based treatment strategy for cervical spinal cord injury. MethodsOne patient with cervical spinal cord injury was admitted to our hospital on January 3, 2013. We obtained medical evidences by searching databases and regulated the best treatment after evaluating the patient's comprehensive conditions. And then, the whole treatment strategy was fully implemented. Finally, the consequent results were evaluated.

Objective To compare efficacy of laparoscopic and open duodenal circular drainage operation for superior mesenteric artery compressing syndrome (SMACS). Methods From December 2012 to December 2015, the clinical data of 23 cases of laparoscopic duodenal circular drainage operation (laparoscope group) and 28 cases of open duodenal circular drainage operation (open group) were analyzed. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative ambulation time, postoperative analgesics usage, postoperative the first exhaust time, postoperative the first feeding time, postoperative hospitalization time and postoperative incidence of complications were compared. The patients were followed up to confirm the effect after the operation. Results There were no differences of the age, sex, and body weight index between the laparoscope group and the open group (P>0.05). The operation time had no significant difference between these two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the open group, the intraoperative bleeding was less (P<0.05), the postoperative ambulation time, postoperative the first exhaust time, postoperative the first feeding time, postoperative hospitalization time were shorter (P<0.05), the rates of postoperative analgesics usage, incision infection, pulmonary infection, and intestinal obstruction were lower (P<0.05) in the laparoscope group. The rates of anastomotic leakage and anastomotic bleeding, and total postoperative complications rate had no significant differences between these two groups (P>0.05). All the patients were followed up for 8–36 months. The clinical symptoms disappeared and the body weight increased to normal level in the two groups. Conclusions Preliminary results of in this study show that laparoscopic duodenal circular drainage operation in treatment of SMACS has some advantages such as less trauma, faster recovery, fewer complications and shorter hospitalization time. Laparoscopy will be an ideal choice for treatment of SMACS.
