ABSTRACT
Objective · To evaluate the value of ultrasonic measurement of distance from skin to epiglottis (DSE) for predicting the difficult airway. Methods · 71 patients (20-80 year-old, ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ ) undergoing endotracheal intubation and general anesthesia for an elective surgical procedure were enrolled. Conventional airway evaluation was performed. The distance from skin at thyroid cartilage upper edge to epiglottis was measured using ultrasound before anesthesia and compared between patients with difficult airway and normal airway. The effects of different methods for evaluating difficult airway were analyzed Results · The ultrasonic measurements of DSE on parasagittal view in patients with difficult airway and normal airway were (23.31±0.43) mm and (19.21±0.27) mm, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P=0.003). The area under the ROC curve of ultrasonic measurement was 0.799 (95% CI:0.639-0.958) with the best cutoff point of 23.6 mm. The specificity of ultrasonic measurement was significantly increased as compared with Mallampati classification (96.43% vs 71.40%, P=0.004). The difference in sensitivity was not statistically significant (60.00% vs 73.33%, P=0.170). Conclusion · Ultrasonic measurement of DSE on parasagittal view can be used to predict the difficult airway.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effect on correcting calcium and phosphate metabolic disorder and the impact on quality of life in uremia patients between on -line hemodiafiltration and high -flux hemodialysis.Methods 90 patients with uremia,digital watches were randomly divided into QL -HDF group and HFHD group,Ca2 +,P3 +, serum parathyroid hormone(PTH)level were measured before and after dialysis blood.The survival quality of patients were evaluated by the KDQOL -SFTM1.3 scale.The incidence of adverse reactions were collected.The similarities and differences of two groups were compared.Results The comparison of Ca2 + levels in the two groups before and after dialysis showed no significant difference(P >0.05);Of the QL -HDF group after treatment,P3 + was (1.82 ± 0.19)mmol/L,PTH was (401.6 ±16.7)pg/L,which were significantly lower than those of QL -HDF group[P3 +(2.14 ±0.22)mmol/L,PTH(425.0 ±17.2)pg/L](t =24.256,21.059,all P 0.05 );6 cases of adverse reactions was in the QL -HDF group (13.33%),14 cases of adverse reactions was in the HFHD group(31.11%),there was significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =5.361,P <0.05).Conclusion The two methods can improve the metabolic disorders of calcium and phosphorus in patients with uremia,and QL -HDF showed stronger ability to remove the ability,and the quality of life is higher,it is worth promoting in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of equivalent dose sufentanil,remifentanil or fentanyl on hemodynamic and cardiac output in the elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia.Methods Ninety elderly patients(ASA Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ) undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into sufentanil group(group S),remifentanil group(group R) and fentanyl group(group F),30 patients in each group.Patients in group S,group R and group F received sufentanil 0.2μg/kg,remifentanil 2μg/kg and fentanyl 2μg/kg Ⅳ,respectively,using an blind method before intubation.SBP,DBP,MAP,HR,CO,CI and SVR were recorded before of anesthesia (T0),immediately after induction (T1),1,3 minutes after tracheal intubation (T2,T3).Changes of SBP and HR during observation were also recorded.Results The MAP and HR in three groups at T1 were significantly lower than those at T0 and decreased significantly in group R than those in group F and S(P ＜0.05).The MAP and HR in group F significantly increased at T1 than T0.The MAP and HR in group R were significantly decreased after tracheal intubation.Compared with the baseline,the MAP and HR in group S at T1,T2,remained unchanged.In group R,there were two patients whose HR were under 50 bpm.In group F,the MAP at T1,T2 were significantly higher than those at T.In group S,there were no significant changes in CO,CI,SVR which were all within normal range (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both sufentanil and remifentanil effectively inhibit the stress response during induction of general anesthesia.At the same time,sufentanil has better hemodynamic stability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare different dose of remifentanil combined with propofol for painless abortion and approach to an appropriate dose of remifentanil.Methods Ninety pregnant women with ASA 1 were randomly divided into three groups(n=30)before administrating remifetanil,a bolus midazolam 1 mg was injected inminutes later.These two drugs did not stop administration until three minutes before the end of negative suction.MAP,HR,SpO2,BIS,RR,VT,PET CO2 were monitored.The onset,operation and recovery time,sedation score and adverse reaction were recorded.Results Sedation scores were significantly different between group A and C [(3.90±0.97)and(4.90±0.85),t=4.24,P＜0.01].Three cases in group A were found moving.MAP,HR,BIS decreased as compared witll baseline.HR reduced significantly in group C(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Respiratory movement was lower and shallower.RR,VT decreased compared to preoperative one.PET C02 increased gradually (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).There were two cases of respiratory depressing in group A,four cases in group B and ten cases in group C(five cases apnea more than three minutes).All patients used oxygen mask to maintain SpO2＞95%.Incidence of adverse reactions such as chest titanic,nausea and vomiting,itching were of no difference among three groups(P＞0.05).All patients were satisfied with anesthesia.Conclusion The appropriate infusing dose of remifetory devices such as oxygen mask and monitoring life signs are very important to prevent respiratory depress and bradycardia during operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of inserted internal jugular vein cathe-ters and femoral vein catheters in emergency patients outside the operation room.Methods 206 patients received right internal vein catheterization(group J,n=110)and right femoral vein catheterization(group F,n=96).Suc-cessful rates of puncture,operation time,incidence of complications were observed and compared between the two groups.SAS6.04 software was used to analyze the data of the two groups.Results Emergency deep venous catheter-ization was accomplished in all the patients.There were no severe complication in two groups,such as pneumothorax and cardiac arrest.The rate of successful puncture in group J was 88%(97/110),however,100%(96/96)in group F.There was statistical significant difference between two groups(P<0.05).Mean time needed in group J (21.5±8.4)m was more than that in group F(12.5±5.3)min(P<0.05).The cases of puncturing into artery or serious arrhythmia in group F(2 cases)were less than that in group J(7 cases including hematoma in 4 cases)(P<0.05).6 cases were found to have arrhythmia in group J but there was not arrhythmia in group F(P<0.05).Con-chsion Different ways of emergency deep venous catheterization should be selected according to different condi-tions of patients outside the operation room.For critically ill patients,femoral vein puncture is more safe,with high rate of Success and less complication.

ABSTRACT
"Seven kinds of prescriptions" and "Ten formulas of materia medica" were important classifications of prescription. According to textual research, the title of"Seven kinds of prescriptions" appeared fi rst in XU Shu-wei’s Shang han jiu shi lun (Ninety Essays on Cold Pathogenic Diseases), which was applied in medical education in the Song Dynasty. The title of "Ten formulas of materia medica" was beginning from CHEN Cang-qi’s ten kinds of "general drugs", and its concept was expanded from "kind" of drugs into "prescription" in Sheng ji jing (Classic of Holy Universal Relief) of the Song Dynasty. These two classif ications had great influence on classif ication of prescription based on functions in later time. The development of "Seven kinds of prescriptions" and "Ten formulas of materia medica" in the Song Dynasty was discussed, and the reasons was analyzed in this paper.
