Clinicians monitor the gastric residual volume(GRV) of critical ill patients to minimize or prevent side effect of EN.Nevertheless,recommendations about the threshold GRV in critically ill patients treated with EN are not uniform.Many recent clinical studies had demonstrated that increasing the limit of GRV was associated with the increase in the diet volume ratio of ICU patients receiving EN,and it was not associated with adverse effects in gastrointestinal complications.This review summarizes the influence factors of GRV monitoring to evaluate the feasibility and necessity of increasing the threshold of GRV.

Objective To establish standardized traceable management procedure for implanted high-value consumables in operating room.Methods The management model combining information-based system operation process and quality control process was designed,and management results before and after implementation were compared.Results There were statistically significant differences in error rates of information recording,bar code sticking and charging of implantable high-value consumables after the implementation of the process management mode (P＜0.05).At the same time,there were statistically significant differences in improvement of traceability of high-value consumables,adverse event reporting and patient satisfaction(P＜0.05).Conclusion Establishment of management model in operating room for implanted high-value consumables can ensure medical safety and increase medical quality.It was proved to improve the level of hospital management.

Objective To study the possibility of using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)with CTAn software to analyze bone resistance during mandibular third molar extraction surgery.Methods Fifty-three patients who underwent CBCT scans for third molars at the Department of Stomatology from January 1st 2021 to July 31th 2023 were induded,involving a total of 91 mandibular third mo-lars.CTAn software was used to analyze the buccal and lingual bone volume regions around mandibular third molars in CBCT images,assessing three-dimensional bone microstructural parameters.Results Significant differences(P＜0.05)in tissue volume,trabecular bone volume/tissue volume,bone surface/trabecular bone volume,bone surface/tissue volume,and bone mineral density between the buccal and lingual bone volume areas were observed in both the total sample and in stratified analyses based on themesially inclined/verticalmandibular third molar impactionand gender.In high/mid-level mesially inclined and vertical impactions,females showed more significant differences in microstructural parameters of the buccal and lingual bone volume compared to males.Conclusion The inte-gration of CBCT with CTAn software offers a viable method for assessing bone resistance during mandibular third molar extractions.Lin-gual bone exhibits greater bone tissue content,denser trabeculae with smaller tissue volume compared to buccal bone.During mandibu-lar third molar extraction,compressing the buccal alveolar bone helps create trabecular compression space more easily.Additionally,the buccal alveolar bone is more amenable to grinding than the lingual side,thereby achieving a reasonable buccal dislocation of root.For female patients with high/mid-level mesially inclined and vertical impactions of the mandibular third molars,a buccal approach is more advisable to be followed.The evaluation of bone microstructural parameters and accurate determination of bone resistance offer valuable insights for the minimally invasive removal of impacted teeth.
