Objective To investigate the value of extravascular lung water index(EVLWI) in assessment of prognosis of elderly patients with combined septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage.Methods Totally 34 elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage in our hospital from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were selected.Cardiac index (CI),global end diastolic volume index (GEDI),systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI),pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) and EVLWI were detected by pulse-indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) technology for 3 days.Based on the actual body weight (ABW) and predicted body weight (PBW),the actual extravascular lung water index and predicted extravascular lung water index were calculated.Peak airway pressure (Ppeak),plateau pressure (Pplat),mean airway pressure (Pm),tidal volume (VT),positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP),oxygen concentration (FiO2) and static lung compliance (Cst) were monitored,the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was detected by blood gas analysis,and the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) and oxygenation index (OI) were calculated.Chest X-ray,lung injury score (LIS) were conducted.The correlations of EVLWI to actual body weight (EVLWIa) and predicted body weight(EVLWIp) with P/F,Cst and LIS were analyzed.The predictive value of EVLWIa and EVLWIp in the prognosis in elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage was assessed.Results At day 1,non-survivors had higher levels of SOFA score and lactate level than survivors (both P<0.05).However,these variables including SOFA score,LIS,PVPI,lactate level,fluid balance,norepinephrine level,EVLWIa and EVLWIp were higher and PaO2/FiO2 was lower in non-survivors than in the survivors at day 3 (all P<0.05).EVLWIa and EVLWIp were positively correlated with LIS (r=0.461 and 0.588,both P<0.05) and negatively correlated with PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) (r=-0.307 and-0.436,both P<0.05).EVLWIa and EVLWIp had negatively correlations with Cst,but r=-0.141 and-0.154,both P>0.05.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that SOFA,EVLWa and EVLWp were independent predictive risk factors for mortality in elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage.The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of SOFA,EVLWIa and EVLWIp for predicting the prognosis were 0.769,0.832 and 0.855 respectively.With 11.96ml/kg as the cutoff point of EVLWIp,the sensitivity and specificity of EVLWIp predicting the survival of patients was 94.4% and 61.5% respectively.Conclusions Extravascular lung water can predict the prognosis and reflect the severity of lung injury in elderly patients with septic shock and puhnonary capillary leakage.Compared with EVLWIa,the EVLWIp has a better correlation with lung injury and a higher predictive value for survival.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the extravascular lung water (EVLW) and other markers of lung injury and determine whether or not EVLW predicts survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and examine if indexing EVLW with predicted body weight (EVLWp) strengthens its discriminative power.Methods EVLW and other markers of lung injury [including:PaO2/FiO2(P/F),oxygenation index (OI) =mean pressure (Pm) × FiO2 × 100/PaO2,static compliance (Cst) and lung injury score (LIS)] were measured prospectively for 3 days in 27 patients with early ARDS between January 2011 and December 2011 at intensive care units (ICU) of Subei People's Hospital.The relationship between indexing EVLW with actual body weight (EVLWa),EVLWp and other markers of lung injury,the 28-day mortality were evaluated.Results Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ),fluid balance in first 3 days,days of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay were significantly higher on admission in nonsurvivors compared with survivors (P < 0.05).Nonsurvivors had higher OI,LIS,EVLWa and EVLWp than survivors at Days 1 and 3 (P < 0.05).EVLWa and EVLWp were correlated positively with LIS (r =0.471,0.528 P < 0.05) and OI (r =0.527,0.627,P < 0.05) and negatively with P/F (r =-0.467,-0.646,P < 0.05).EVLWp had a stronger correlation to LIS,OI and P/F than did EVLWa.No obvious correlation existed between EVLWa,EVLWp and Cst (r =-0.260,0.226,P > 0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that EVLWp (0.759,P < 0.05) but not EVLWa (0.661,P>0.05) discriminated between survivors and nonsurvivors.Three-dav average EVLWp ≥12.5ml/kg predicted the 28-day mortality with 62.5% specificity and 80% sensitivity.Conclusion Increased extravascular lung water is a feature of early ARDS and predicts survival.EVLWp,instead of EVLWa,improves the predictive value of extravascular lung water for survival and it is correlated with markers of disease severity.

Objective To find out the health status and community health care requirement of the elderly in urban Fuzhou and to provide suggestions on how to develop and consummate the community health care for elderly. Methods With the method of stratified random sampling, 3285 elderly people aged 60 years and over were surveyed by a questionnaire. Results The average quality of life of elderly people in urban Fuzhou was above the moderate level. But education level of the elderly was low. And the prevalence rate of chronic diseases was high. There were 2134 elderly people (65.0%) who had more than one chronic disease. The older the people, the higher proportion the coincidence of multiple diseases (P<0.01). The first five chronic diseases in the elderly were hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, arthropathy and stroke. The incidence rate of depression was high up to 60%. The requirement rate of community health care was 75.2%, and the older the people, the more items they needed(P<0.05). The requirement of community health care at the first 5 rank position were regular physical examination, health education, regular home visiting, health direction and diet direction. Conclusions Elderly people have many health problems and requirements of community health care.We should provide more and more community health care, in order to improve the quality of life of elderly people.
