ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of the modified and improved thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal cancer using the concept of "single-direction" thoracoscopic technique. Methods The clinical data of 65 patients undergoing this modified minimally invasive esophagectomy based on "single-direction" thoracoscopic system between June 2018 and April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 54 males and 11 females aged 62.5±7.8 years. Results The thoracoscopic operation time was 133.4±28.6 min, and intraoperative blood loss was 61.9±29.2 mL. No intraoperative blood transfusion was needed. One patient was transferred to open thoracotomy (due to severe pleural adhesion atresia). Major complications included anastomotic leak, pneumonia, chylothorax, incisional infection, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and gastric emptying disorders, which were recovered by conservative treatment. No postoperative death occurred. The median number of lymph nodes and lymph node station harvested was 19 and 10, respectively. The median postoperative hospital stay was 10 days. The volume of chest drainage was 1 117.3±543.4 mL. Conclusion The minimally invasive operation mode of esophageal cancer based on "single-direction" thoracoscopic system is safe and feasible, and has good field vision and smooth and simplified procedure.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the suitable hospital infection control measures in health centers of poverty-striken villages,in order to improve the management of hospital infection,decrease hospital infection rate and protect the health of medical staff and patients.METHODS The status quo of hospital infection in health centers of poverty-striken villages,was investigated in 20 small towns health centers with were randomly divided into two groups:test group(n=15)and control group(n=5).The suitable hospital infection control measures were explored from 5 points.The effect of infection control by before-after controlled study of experimental group and randomized controlled study of control group was anal yzed.RESULTS The rate of hospital infection in test group was decreased from 7.60% to 1.98% and at in control group didn't change,the difference was significant.CONCLUSIONS The managements of establishment of the suitable hospital infection control measures in health centers of poverty-striken villages have been put into practice and gained good result.
