Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of inhaling magnesium sulfate on infants with acute bronc-hiolitis. Methods Ninty infants with bronchiolitis were divided into 3 groups randomly and received either magnesium sulfate infusion inhalation or intravenous injection or normal saline inhalation respectively. The change of parameters of each group were observed and compared. Results Magnesium sulfate inhalation group and intravenous injection group were superior to control group in terms of the improvement of blood gas, clinical scores, continuous time of symptoms,signs, hospital days and clinical total efficiency(P

ObjectiveTo explore an appropriate way and its effect on neonatal resuscitation training in Uygur area of Xinjiang, China.MethodsFrom October 2014 to February 2015, obstetricians, neonatologists (pediatricians), midwives and anesthetists from Turpan Region Central Hospital, Turpan City People's Hospital,Aksu Region First People's Hospital and other five hospitals at county level were chosen to attend the training course of neonatal resuscitation. The textbook for the course was Guidelines for Resuscitation which had been translated to Uygur language from English and the class was lead by less than ten Uygur trainees with Mandarin and Uygur when necessary in addressing some difficult or important points. The duration of theoretic courses took 6 h and the operational course took 8 h. Theorectical exam was taken before, immediately after and three months after (before re-training) the training. The accuracy rate was applied to assess the effect of training through evaluation for each resuscitation techniques. Repeated measures analysis of variance andChi-square test were used for statistical analysis.ResultsA total of 220 health care staff were included in the study. The average score of theoretical examination after the training was higher than that before (85.68±8.52 vs 65.37±12.08,t=18.532,P=0.000), and that before re-training was lower than that after training (80.08±12.70 vs 85.68±8.52,t=-4.943,P=0.000). After the training, the proportions of Done in each item, including rapid assessment, preliminary resuscitation, correct positive pressure artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage together with artificial ventilation, proper endotracheal intubation and proper administration of resuscitation drugs, were all higher that those before [72.7%(160/220) vs 1.4%(3/220), 40.0%(88/220) vs 0%(0/220), 15.9%(35/220) vs 0%(0/220), 37.7%(83/220) vs 8.2%(18/220), 51.8%(114/220) vs 5.9%(13/220) and 48.2%(106/220) vs 10.5%(23/220), allP<0.01]. But at the time before re-training, only one proportion ofDone which was higher than those immediately after initial training was proper administration of resuscitation drugs [49.6%(109/220) vs 48.2%(106/220),χ2=9.129,P<0.05].ConclusionBilingual (Mandarin and Uygur) neonatal resuscitation training in Xinjiang minority areas might enhance the recovery skills for local medical personnel.
