RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the value of the venous-to-arterial CO 2 gap (Δ CO 2 gap) before and after the fluid challenge (FC) in determining the fluid responsivenessin septic shock patients. Methods:A total of 104 septic shock patients admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were included in the retrospective study. All patients were monitored by Swan Ganz floating catheter during the FC. Hemodynamics and blood gas indices were collected before FC (T0) and immediately (T1), 10 min (T2), 30 min (T3) and 60 min (T4) after FC. Responders were defined as patients with a > 10% increase in cardiac output (CO) after FC. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between CO 2 gap and CO. The value of ΔCO2 gap were calculated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve in the whole population. Results:Among 104 patients, the effective rates of FC at T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 59% (61/104), 72% (75/104), 73% (76/104), and 77% (80/104), respectively. CO of patients in the reactive group was lower than that in the non-reactive group at T2 [6.0 (4.7, 7.5) vs. 7.2 (6.4, 8.5) L/min, P=0.019], and there was no significant difference in CO 2 gap between the two groups before FC. Spearman correlation analysis showed that CO 2 gap was negatively correlated with CO, and the correlations between CO 2 content gap and CO was -0.34, and -0.33 of CO 2 pressure gap and CO, respectively (both P <0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the ΔCO 2 gap at T1 could weakly judge the reactivity at T2, T3 and T4, but could not judge the reactivity at T1. The AUROC at T2 was 0.669 of ΔCO 2 content gap and 0.684 of ΔCO 2 pressure gap (both P <0.05). Conclusions:The evaluate time judging the effect of FC should be appropriately extended. The change value of CO 2 gap before and immediately after volume expansion in septic shock patients can judge the fluid responsiveness within 10 min after FC.
RESUMO
Objective To survey on training for general practice backbone mentors in tertiary hospitals of Hebei province.Methods A questionnaire survey on training status was conducted among general practice backbone mentors in tertiary hospitals of Hebei Province.The survey items included the basic information,knowledge of general practice and its training,suggestions for mentors training and general practice discipline construction in tertiary hospitals.Results Total 208 questionnaires were distributed and 208 were retrieved with a recovery rate of 100％.Among 208 participants,all of them were over the age of 30;202 (97.1％) had bachelor degree or above;202 (97.1％) were attending doctors or above;165 (79.3％) had worked for more than 10 years;169 (81.3％) had no or little knowledge of general practice;159 (76.4％)had not received general practice training before;124 (59.6％) thought that general practitioners were not qualified as "gatekeeper" at present;and 192 (92.3％) worked in the hospitals providing standardized residency training.The training contents in general section were prioritized as clinical skills,community health service development and policy,rules for general practice standardized training,theoretical training,the present situation and countermeasure of general teaching,the doctor-patient relationship and medical ethics.The contents in training method section were prioritized as lecture series of clinical medicine,case discussion,seminar,distance education with classroom teaching.The suggestions for mentors training included:the exploration of standardized training model,perfecting continuing education system for general practice mentors,more attention to the training at community health service centers and the consummation of general practice system.The suggestions for general practice discipline construction were that more attentions should be paid by the government and the hospitals leaders,the general practice departments in tertiary hospitals should closely cooperate with community health service centers in training ofqualified general practitioners.Conclusions The specialists in tertiary hospitals of Hebei province do not have enough knowledge about general practice and do not quite understand the necessity of establishment of general practice department,so the training for general practice mentors should be strengthened and improved.Properly policy and more social resources from the government and the hospitals leaders will be helpful for construction of general practice discipline in general hospital.
