On the basis of Poincare scatter plot and first order difference scatter plot, a novel heart rate variability (HRV) analysis method based on scatter plots of RR intervals and first order difference of RR intervals (namely, RdR) was proposed. The abscissa of the RdR scatter plot, the x-axis, is RR intervals and the ordinate, y-axis, is the difference between successive RR intervals. The RdR scatter plot includes the information of RR intervals and the difference between successive RR intervals, which captures more HRV information. By RdR scatter plot analysis of some records of MIT-BIH arrhythmias database, we found that the scatter plot of uncoupled premature ventricular contraction (PVC), coupled ventricular bigeminy and ventricular trigeminy PVC had specific graphic characteristics. The RdR scatter plot method has higher detecting performance than the Poincare scatter plot method, and simpler and more intuitive than the first order difference method.
Objective To explore the hemodynamic assessment after radical surgery in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) by both echocardiography and Mostcare monitor. Methods Clinical data of 63 children with TOF who underwent radical surgery in our hospital from February 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 29 females, aged 6-24 (9.82±5.77) months. There were 19 patients undergoing transannular patch reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (a transannular patch group) while 44 patients retained the pulmonary valve annulus (a non-transannular patch group) . The echocardiography and Mostcare monitor parameters were recorded and brain natriuretic peptide was tested at the time points of 0, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation (T 0, T 1, T 2, T 4) to analyze their correlations and the change trend at different time points after radical surgery. Results The left ventricular ejection fraction at T 1 (43.49%±3.82%) was lower than that at T 0 (48.29%±4.55%), T 2 (45.83%±3.69%), T 3 (53.76%±4.43%) and T 4 (60.54%±3.23%, P<0.05). The cardiac index at T 1 (1.85±0.35 L·min−1·m−2) was lower than that at T 0 (2.11±0.38 L·min−1·m−2), T 2 (2.07±0.36 L·min−1·m−2), T 3 (2.42±0.37 L·min−1·m−2) and T 4 (2.82±0.42 L·min−1·m−2, P<0.05). The cardiac circulation efficiency at T1 (0.19±0.05) was lower than that at T 0 (0.22±0.06), T 2 (0.22±0.05), T 3 (0.28±0.06) and T 4 (0.34±0.06, P<0.05). The right ventricular two-chambers view fraction area change at T 1 (23.17%±3.11%) was lower than that at T 0 (25.81%±3.74%), T 2 (25.38%±3.43%), T 3 (30.60%±4.50%) and T 4 (36.94%±5.85%, P<0.05). The pulse pressure variability was the highest at T 0 (18.76%±3.58%), followed by T 1 (14.81%±3.32%), T 2 (12.44%±2.94%), T 3 (10.39%±2.96%) and T 4 (9.18%±1.92%, P<0.05). The blood brain natriuretic peptide was higher at T 1 (846.67±362.95 pg/ml) than that at T 0 (42.60±18.06 pg/ml), T 2 (730.95±351.09 pg/ml), T 3 (510.98±290.39 pg/ml) and T 4 (364.41±243.56 pg/ml, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac circulation efficiency and heart index between the two groups (P>0.05). The right ventricular two-chambers view fraction area change of the transannular patch group was significantly lower than that of the non-transannular patch group at each time point (P<0.05). The blood brain natriuretic peptide and pulse pressure variability of the transannular patch group were significantly higher than those of the non-transannular patch group (P<0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction was positively correlated with cardiac index (r=0.637, P=0.001) and cardiac circulation efficiency (r=0.462, P=0.001) while was significantly negatively correlated with blood brain natriuretic peptide (r=–0.419, P=0.001). Conclusion Both methods can accurately reflect the state of cardiac function. Mostcare monitor has a good consistency with echocardiography. Using transannular patch to recontribute right ventricular outflow tract in operation has more influence on right ventricular systolic function. The Mostcare monitor can guide the hemodynamic management after surgery in real time, continuously and accurately.
The hospital information structure, which is made up of various medical business systems, is suffering from the problems of the "information isolated island". Medical business systems in the hospital are mutually isomerous and difficult to become a whole. How to realize the internal barrier-free interaction of the patients effective medical information in the hospital and further to complete the area sharing of patients longitudinal diagnosis and treatment information has become a question having to be solved urgently in the process of healthcare informatization. Based on the HL7 standard, this paper refers to the IHE technical framework, expounds the overall structure of the interaction in the hospital internal and area sharing of medical information with the medical information exchange platform. The paper also gives the details of the whole process of the complete display of the discrete patient health information using Portal technology, which is saved in the business systems in different hospitals. It interacts internally through the information exchange platform and at last stores the information in the regional cinical data repository (CDR).
Objective To observe the functional state of the optic nerve and discover the injury of visual pathway function in time under general ane sthesia. The flash visual evoked potential (F-VEP) was used to monitor visual function during orbital surgery. Methods A total of 252 out of 282 patients undergoing orbital surgery under general anesthesia were successfully monitored by F-VEP during the surgery. All patients were monitored by this method under the following conditions:consious state before operation, under general anaesthesia, during and after dissection of orbital tumor and at the end of operation. Results ①There was no significant difference of wave amplitude and latency under general anesthesia and consciousness condition. ②The amplitude and latency of F-VEP were normal in the orbital surgery withou toptic nerve injury. ③Pulling and oppression of optic nerve could cause temporary wave loss, but the wave recovered after removal of the pull and oppression. ④ The wave loss of F-VEP would occur immedicately when optic nerve was severe injured and its blood supply was deficient. Since the application of the visual function monitoring, 24 cases were treated in time during disturbance of visual function and no patient has unexpected visual loss during orbital surgery. Conclusion The intraoperative monitoring of F-VEP during orbital surgery can decrease the proportion of permanent visual loss caused by orbit al surgery, and help the surgical procedures go to function-anatomy stage from experience-anatomy stage.

With the establishment and development of regional healthcare big data platforms, regional healthcare big data is playing an increasingly important role in health policy program evaluations. Regional healthcare big data is usually structured hierarchically. Traditional statistical models have limitations in analyzing hierarchical data, and multilevel models are powerful statistical analysis tools for processing hierarchical data. This method has frequently been used by healthcare researchers overseas, however, it lacks application in China. This paper aimed to introduce the multilevel model and several common application scenarios in medicine policy evaluations. We expected to provide a methodological framework for medicine policy evaluation using regional healthcare big data or hierarchical data.

Objective To explore the oxygen therapy effects of high-flow T-tube oxygen therapy on neurointensive care patients who have undergone tracheostomy and are undergoing mechanical ventilation while meeting the criteria for weaning from mechanical ventilation, especially in terms of controlling airway temperature and humidity, promoting mucus dilution, and reducing postoperative complications. MethodsCollected data from 50 neurointensive care patients who underwent tracheostomy and were on mechanical ventilation, meeting the criteria for weaning from mechanical ventilation, treated at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from September 2019 to September 2021. The three groups of patients had different weaning methods: a high-flow T-tube for weaning, a heat and moisture exchanger (artificial nose) for weaning, and a high-flow tracheal joint for weaning. The vital signs, dyspnea and blood gas analysis before and three days after weaning were collected. The primary outcomes were mechanical sputum excretion, postural drainage, phlegm-resolving drugs use, airway-related events (artificial airway blockage, artificial nose blockage, lung infection), stay in ICU (days), and death in ICU. Results Among the 50 patients, 28 were males and 22 were females. There were no significant differences in age, weight, height, gender, finger pulse oxygen saturation, heart rate, APACHEII score, sequential organ failure assessment, or Glasgow coma scale among the three groups (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the number of 72-hour mechanical sputum excretion or the use of phlegm-resolving drugs in the three groups (P=0.113, P=1.00). Conclusion The use of high-flow T-tube oxygen therapy in neurointensive care patients who have undergone tracheostomy, are on mechanical ventilation, and meet the criteria for weaning from mechanical ventilation can effectively control airway temperature and humidity, promote mucus dilution for better drainage, thereby reducing post-tracheostomy complications.
Objective A systematic review was conducted based on the domestically published literature for improving the quality of oral nursing care.Methods The terms "oral nursing care", "oral hygiene care", "mouth care" were used to search related studies in Chinese databases (up to April 30, 2004) along with handsearching additional studies. Four authors screened and selected the studies, appraised the methodological quality and extracted data from these selected studies. The results were presented by description or Meta-analysis. Results A total of 28 studies were identified, of which 6 were excluded. The methodological quality varied among the studies, 7 scored as B, 15 as C (11 randomized controlled trials, 4 quasi-randomized trials). A total of 2 372 patients were observed including some were critically ill, or intubated, or receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy or undergoing surgical operations.Six authors of RCT replied and four of them provided more information on methods of randomization. Data analysis revealed that traditional oral nursing procedure was suitable for the severely sick patients who could not take self-care. Brushing and gargling were suitable for conscious patients who could use their hands. Tea and toothpaste were safe, economical and convenient oral nursing agents. Oral pH was a useful index for the selection of oral nursing agents and mouthwashes. A gargle containing sodium bicarbonate was used in the acidic oral environment and reduced fungal infection. The mouthwash with tea polyphenols had good effect for oral health, and might be as the first choice for prophylaxis of stomatitis induced by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Some mouthwashes developed by Chinese herbs improved oral health efficiently. Some disinfectants with good safety and low toxicity might be used as supplementary agents in oral nursing care. Conclusions Oral nursing care procedures have improved the efficiency of oral care. But the conclusion should be verified by more, well designed randomized controlled trials involving a collaborative multidiscipliary health care professionals. Oral nursing care practice needs to be evidence based.
Medical institutions of China still face two challenges in hospital infections currently: one challenge is from infection, including infectious diseases, multidrug-resistant bacteria healthcare-associated infection (HAI), and classic HAI; the another challenge comes from the management of HAI in medical institutions, such as lack of full-time staff and insufficient capacity, inadequate infection control organizations, insufficient awareness of infection control among medical staff, and unbalanced development. To cope with these severe challenges, we must do the following three aspects: establishing the discipline of HAI, and improving people’s infection control ability through human-orienting; improving the management organization and system of HAI; improving the awareness of infection control among all medical staff, carrying out scientific and orderly infection prevention and control work in accordance with the law, and adhering to evidence-based infection control.
