An experimental study was designed on the treatment of 8 superficial burn wounds and 5 wounds after removing the split-thickness skin grafts with 200GS permanent magnetic flat dressings, and some of the wounds were chosen at random which did not received any treatment and would be served as control. It was noted that the volume of exudate in the treatment group was 11.9 50.7％ less than that of the control group, and the total protein, the albumin and globulin contents in the treatment cases were far less in exudate than those of the control cases. It was concluded that the magnetic therapy not only decresed the exudate, but also diminished the amount of total protein, albumin and globulin in the exudating fluid and it was of benefit to wound recovery.

Methods Discharged patients of West China Hospital from 2003-2006 were randomly selected and asked to complete a specially designed questionnaire. Results In total, 8 000 questionnaires were distributed and 2 526 were returned. The retrieval rate was 31.57%. The responses showed that non-medical factors have became the main factors affecting the doctor-patient relationship (91.8%). Other important factors included medical cost (21.5%) and doctor-patient communication (11.51%). Conclusion We should boost hospital management level, train non-medical staff, save costs and improve doctor-patient communication.
ObjectiveTo explore the application of PDCA cycle in the examination of medical quality of Tibetan area hospitals. MethodsIn the October 2014, PDCA cycle theory was introduced into the examination of Tibetan hospital medical quality. We collected quality problems existing in the medical activities actively, analyzed the reason and influencing factors and made corresponding plans. Then we implemented the plans and measures strictly, surveyed the results, found out and analyzed the problems, summarized the results of the examination, and turned the unsolved problems to the next PDCA circulation. Continuous follow-up was performed until the results were satisfactory. Based on Sichuan Province Secondary Comprehensive Hospital Evaluation Standard, we analyzed the medical quality of the hospital before PDCA application (July to September 2014) and after PDCA application (October to December 2014). ResultsThe incidence of medical nursing documents writing defects decreased from 12.4% to 5.9%. Hospital infection management defect rate declined from 13.5% to 5.3% and drug safety management defect rate declined from 11.8% to 2.5%, and all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionPDCA cycle in the Tibetan hospital for medical quality examination has greatly improved the medical quality of Tibetan hospitals.
Objective To review the research hotspots and cutting-edge dynamics in the field of hospital operations management, providing references for relevant research in our country. Methods Using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software, we conducted a visual analysis of English literature in the field of hospital operations management collected from the Web of Science database Core Collection from the establishment of the database to December 31st 2022. Result A total of 808 articles were included, with the first article in the field of hospital operations management published in 1980 since the establishment of the Web of Science database. Over the 42-year period, annual publications had shown an increasing trend. Research outcomes were concentrated in institutions and researchers from Europe and the United States, but academic collaboration among institutions and authors was not particularly close. The hotspots in related fields mainly focused on aspects of care quality, management, and performance. Conclusions Studies on hospital operations management in China are in the early stage, and the international influence of research outcomes needs to be further strengthened. The research frontier has shifted from healthcare quality and safety to internal financial performance, human resource management, and resource allocation. Research on the application of technological methods in hospital operations management will continue to emerge.
Objective To systematically review the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on medical expenses, hospital services, and hospital income. Methods Databases including CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched to collect empirical research on evaluating the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on patient medical expenses and hospital operation (service volume and income structure) from June 15th, 2019 to August 15th, 2021. A descriptive analysis was performed after two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data. Results A total of 23 studies were included, and most of them found a relatively small change in the average outpatient and emergency medical expenses after the reform. However, the average inpatient expenses in some hospitals showed an increasing trend; the service volume of most hospitals increased slightly, and the income structure was optimized (e.g., surgery and other medical technology services revenue and its proportion increased). Conclusion The comprehensive reform of the medical consumption linkage in Beijing is the practice of deepening the reform of the medical service price mechanism. Based on the summary of the reform effect, it is recommended to further improve the price mechanism, improve service quality, and promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.
Objective To provide a disaster triage method by analyzing the data of the hospital transferring casualties after Wenchuan earthquake. Method The data of the patients’ admission and hospital transferring in the West China Hospital were collected after the earthquake in two weeks. Moreover, the reason and the method of the hospital transferring were analyzed. Result In the first two weeks since the earthquake struck Wenchuan, the number of the available bed for earthquake patients in West China Hospital was 124 per day, but in the 2 227 earthquake patients treated, 1 181 patients were admitted. Comparing with the number of the total hospitalized, the percentage is 53.03%. The hospital was overloaded. After a reasonable hospital transference, the daily number of inpatients was stable and all the patients were treated sufficiently. Conclusion After a natural disaster, an effective administration transferring patients to suitable medical recourse should be performed, so that more right treatments should be given to more right patients in the right time and right place.
In recent years, reports of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty have gradually increased. In response to problems that may arise during the perioperative period, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has adopted measures such as the establishment of multidisciplinary team, adequate preoperative evaluation, precise intraoperative operations, and whole process optimization management (incision management, pain management, functional exercise and follow-up management). Combined with the actual clinical situation, a domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty management program during the perioperative period was explored and formulated to promote the recovery of patients. This article introduces the above-mentioned program, and aims to provide a reference for the management optimization of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty during the perioperative period.
Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics of pathogens isolated from patients with lung cancer after surgery, and provide instructions for the prevention and treatment of postoperative infection. Methods A retrospective investigation of the pathogenic microbiology data of 159 patients（142 males and 17 females with average age at 61.8±9.6 years) with lung cancer after surgery in West China Hospital from January 2009 to December 2011 was performed.We got the specimen from the patients by routine methods, identified the pathogens, and conducted drug susceptibility tests in vitro. Results The pathogens were mainly isolated from sputum of the patients （90.6%, 155/171）. Canidia albicans（25.7%, 44/171）, Klebsiella pneumonia（15.2%, 26/171）, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii（13.4%, 23/171）and Pseudomonas aeruginosa（8.2%, 14/171） were the predominant species. Among A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii isolates, 39.1%（9/23） of them were multidrug resistant strains. And 23.1%（6/26）of K. pneumonia isolates produced extended spectrum beta-lactamases. P. aeruginosa isolates showed high in vitro susceptibility to the antibacterial agents. Conclusion Pathogens are mainly isolated from sputum of patients after surgery for lung cancer. Canidia albicans and gram-negative bacilli are predominant isolates and should be the major targets for the prevention and treatment of postoperative infection.
