Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2014;21(2):93-96,100
Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria in PICU and to provide evidence for use of antibiotics rationally.Methods All the basic clinical features and pathogenic bacteria isolated from patients in PICU of our hospital from October 2009 to September 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 672 pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated (positive rate 16.7% 672/4 020),75.1% and 24.9% were gram negative bacteria and gram positive bacteria,respectively.Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common bacteria isolated in gram negative bacteria,followed by Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli in this order.And Staphylococcus was the main strain in gram positive bacteria.Positive specimens were mainly from lower respiratory tract and bloodstream infection.Most Staphylococcus were resistant to penicillin,oxacillin and erythromycin but susceptible to vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid.Gram negative bacteria were resistant to ampicillin,ampicillin-sulbactam,piperacillin and cephalosporin,but susceptible to imipenem,cefoperazone-sulbactam,piperacillin-tazobactam,ciprofloxacin and amikacin.Conclusion Gram negative bacteria is the prevalent strains in PICU of our hospital,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli are common bacterium isolated.Most isolates are highly drug-resistant.Analysis of pathogenic bacteria and drug-resistance surveillance are of vital importance to guide treatments for critically ill children and reduce drug-resistant bacterial strains.
10.Unintentional injuries in children:2286 cases analysis
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017;24(2):128-131
Objective To investigate the clinical features of unintentional injuries in children,and to provide the theoretical basis for preventing and intervening the occurrence. Methods We collected the data of children aged from 0 to 14 years old and hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2013 to December 2015. Results There were 2286 cases of children including 1507 boys(65. 92%) and 779 girls(34. 08%). The high incidence age was 1 to 3 years with a total of 896 cases(39. 19%). The first five causes of unintentional injuries were burns/scalds 840 cases(36. 71%),fall/drop 464 cases(20. 30%),blunt force injury 290 cases(12. 68%),foreign bodies(in the esophagus,airway, etc) 253 cases(11. 07%),and sharp object injury 153 cases(6. 68%). The unintentional injuries of different age group were varied,for example,the common causes of 1 to 3 years old group were burns /scalds and for-eign bodies(in the esophagus,airway,etc),and the main injuries in 6 to 14 years old group were fall/drop and blunt force. Furthermore, the proportion of unintentional injuries in rural children was 1547 cases (67. 67%),and in the urban children was 739 cases(32. 33%). Unintentional injury with serious conse-quences included burns/scalds 55 cases(26. 96%),sharp object injury 45 cases(22. 06%),burns/scalds 26 cases (12. 75%),blast injury of 23 cases(11. 27%) and fall/drop 20 cases(9. 80%). Disable/sequel hap-pened in 204 cases(8. 92%). Ten cases died(0. 44%) including fall/drop in 4 cases,traffic accident in 3 cases(30%). Conclusion Young children aged 1 to 3 years are the most vulnerable to unintentional inju-ries. Burns/scalds and foreign bodies( in the esophagus,airway,etc) are the most common causes of injuries, and the boys are more common than girls. Moreover,the incidence rate of unintentional trauma in rural chil-dren was higher than that in the urban children. Unintentional injury complicated serious consequences are burns/scalds,sharp object injury,blast injury and fall/drop. Death cases in the majority are fall/drop and traf-fic accident. The key to reduce the occurrence of unintentional injuries is to strengthen propaganda of preven-tion knowledge about the children′s unintentional injuries.
