Objective:To explore the effect of nursery-led multidisciplinary evidence-based intervention in the management of anticoagulation in inpatients with oral warfarin.Methods:In this study, Quasi-experimental research was adopted. 478 patients were selected as the baseline review group on August 1st, 2019 and December 31th, 2019, and 494 patients were selected as the after-effect evaluation group on February 1st, 2020 and May 31th, 2020 in cardiovascular surgery and cardiovascular medicine. Established a multidisciplinary team, according to theoretical framework basing on the evidence of continuous quality improvement model, combining with evidence and clinical practice to develop evidence-based solutions, the comparison of international normalized ratio (INR) before and after the intervention in the percentage of time in therapeutic range (TTR) and anticoagulant related the incidence of complications.Results:Before and after the multidisciplinary evidence-based intervention, the mean TTR of the patients were (51.67±31.04)% and (64.34±26.37)%, with statistically significant differences ( tvalue was 6.958, P<0.01); the incidence of bleeding and embolization was not statistically significant ( χ 2values were 0.294 and 0.268, P>0.05). Conclusion:Nursing-led multidisciplinary evidence-based interventions can improve the intensity and stability of oral warfarin anticoagulant therapy in inpatients.

Objective To analyze the common causes leading to lung infection following renal transplantation and provide targeted preventive measures to reduce the incidence of lung infection.Methods The clinical data of 561 recipients who underwent renal transplantation from January 2006 to February 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The recipients were divided into two groups:group Ⅰ,from January 2006 to December 2009 (n =416) ; group Ⅱ,from January 2010 to February 2011 (n =145).The causes possibly leading to lung infection which took place 3 days before the appearance of the clinical symptoms were offered by the patients who suffered lung infection of group Ⅰ.And then the causes were summarized and analyzed to formulate the specific and comprehensive measures to prevent the infection.Finally the measures were applied to recipients in group Ⅱ from January 2010.After applying the measures for 14 months,the incidence of lung infection in group Ⅱ was counted and compared with that in group Ⅰ to see the preventive effect.Results There were 58 cases of lung infection in group Ⅰ (58/416,13.9％) and 12 cases in group Ⅱ (12/145,8.3％). There was significant difference in the incidence of lung infection between two groups (x2 =4.0361,P＜0.05).All of the recipients with lung infection were hospitalized in six months after the transplantation.The causes leading to lung infection of 58 cases in group Ⅰ were as follows:6 cases due to being excessively tired,3 cases due to guest visiting,12 cases due to abrupt change of weather,9 cases due to exposure to public place,8 cases due to returning to hospital,6 cases due to close contact with children,5 cases due to close contact with animals,and the other 9 cases without specific causes found.Conclusion The incidence of lung infection following renal transplantation can be notably reduced by the application of targeted and concrete health propaganda education and preventive measures based on analysis on the specific causes of infection.

Objective To evaluate the effects of exercise therapy for patients with difficult weaning using mechanical ventilation.Methods A total of 63 patients with difficult weaning using mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into the experimental group(33 cases) and the control group(30 cases).The patients in the control group received routine respiratory care,however,the patients in the experimental group received gradual and individualized exercise therapy according to patients' condition and physical strength.The items such as the tidal volume,respiratory rate,PaO2/FiO2 were compared between two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the tidal volume,respiratory rate,PaO2/FiO2 and the score of APACHE Ⅱ were better in the experimental group on the 21th and 28th day after mechanical ventilation,the heart rate was better in the experimental group on the 28th day after mechanical ventilation.In addition,the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU hospitalization was shorter in the experimental group.But the rate of complications showed no significant difference.Conclusions Exercise therapy has a positive effect on patients with difficult weaning using mechanical ventilation.

Objective To explore the intervention mechanism of Yiqi Huoxue Fang on deep venous thrombosis ( DVT) of rabbit model,by observing its effects on serum t-PA and PAI-1,D-D,NO,CRP,PT,blood rheology and vascular pathology. Methods Fifty New Zealand rabbits were randomly selected.Ten rabbits were served as blank control group.DVT animal models were established in the remaining 40 rabbits, which were randomly divided into model control group, Yiqi Fang group, Huoxue Fang group and Yiqi Huoxue Fang group (n=10 each group).The changes of serum t-PA,PAI-1,D-D,NO,CRP,PT and pathological changes of blood vessel were observed after 7-days treatment. Results As compared with the blank control group, the serum t-PA,PAI-1,D-D,CRP and PT were significantly increased in the model control group,Yiqi Fang group,Huoxue Fang group and Yiqi Huoxue Fang group (all P<0.01); NO was decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05 in model control group,Yiqi Fang group and Huoxue Fang group;P>0.05 in Yiqi Huoxue Fang group vs.the blank control group).As compared with model control group,the serum t-PA,NO,D-D increased,PAI-1 and CRP value reduced in Yiqi Huoxue Fang group and Huoxue fang group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).As compared with Yiqi Huoxue Fang group,serum t-PA in both Yiqi Fang group and Huoxue Fang group was significantly lower (P<0.01 and P<0.05) ,other indexes were significantly higher than that in Yiqi Huoxue Fang group (serum PAI-1,P<0.01 in Yiqi Fang group;NO and D-D,P<0.01 or P<0.05 in Yiqi Fang group;CRP value,P<0.01).Vascular pathology showed that blood vessels,especially vascular endothelia,of Yiqi Huoxue Fang group were most slightly injured,with slightest infiltration of inflammatory cells. Conclusion Yiqi Huoxue Fang can prevent DVT through regulating t-PA and PAI-1,keeping the fibrinolytic system function at a relatively high level,protecting vascular intima and relieving the inflammation in venous thrombosis.

Objective To examine the benefits of ECMO for potential organ donors with hemodynamic instability after brain death.Methods Three brain-dead potential donors who presented with hemodynamic instability despite maximal medical management,finished a declaration of brain death,that were supported by extracorporeal circulation membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Results Donor organs,including six kidneys,and two livers,were harvested from the three donors under ECMO support,leading to 8 successful transplantations.The organs functioned well and the recipients made full recoveries.Conclusion Our experience indicates that ECMO allows for the maintenance of abdominal organ tissue perfusion without warm ischemia before organ procurement,providing sufficient time for safe organ donation procedures and reducing the risk of unpredictable cardiac arrest that could result in the donor death and graft loss.

Objective:To explore the transition from hospital discharge to home care in heart transplant recipients based on the Meleis' transition theory, so as to provide a basis for improving the quality of life of recipients.Methods:In July 2021, purposeful sampling was used to select heart transplant recipients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine as the research subject. A total of 12 recipients of one year after heart transplantation were selected for semi-structured interviews by snowballing. The interview data were analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step method.Results:Through reading, analysis, sorting and summarizing, 4 themes and 11 sub-themes were extracted, namely, relatively stable recovery of physical condition, lack of medication and emotional management (unmet needs for medication cognition and management, good physical condition, early emotional experience of vulnerability) , the support of family and social resources affected the transition (the communication and support of patients promoted the transition, the support of the family promoted the transition, the lack of community resources hindered the transition, and the reimbursement policy affected the transition) , a positive experience in the transition (confidence to deal with future life, return to society and self-realization) , and expecting to obtain comprehensive and continuous management of body and mind (the needs of nursing care centered on mental health, the needs of professional management teams and the communication platform among doctors, nurses and patients) .Conclusions:The experience of home self-care after discharge has many physical and psychological impacts on heart transplant recipients. It is necessary to pay attention to the recipients in the transition period, and to build a whole-of-society support system to give help to heart transplant recipients.
