Objective To investigate the effect of blood specimen collection from umbilical vein catheter on catheter usage condition and relevant complications. Methods 80 premature infants with indwelling umbilical vein catheter were divided into the blood collection group and the non-blood collec-tion group, then the hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications were compared. The 40 premature infants in the blood colleetion group were subsequently divided into the experimental group in which blood was collected from umbilical vein catheter and the control group in which blood was collected from peripheral blood vessel, then the blood collection time, success rate and influence on newborns were compared. Results There was no significant difference in hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications between the blood collection group and the non-blood collection group. There was statistical significance in blood collection time, success rate and adverse reaction on suffering newborns between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusions There was no obvious influence on the regular service of the catheter if only the method is correct and operating procedure is normative, also it possesses advantages such as no pain, high success rate, peripheral vascular protection, etc. So, it can be used as one of the ways to collect blood speci-men for critical newborns.

Objective To discuss the psychological behavior intervention methods on reducing the violence behavior of schizophrenia patients. Methods 120 schizophrenia patients were admitted from January to December, 2007 and randomly assigned into the behavior intervention group (group A), the psy-chological support group (group B), the health education group (group C) and the control group (group D) with 30 cases in each group. Group A received routine nursing plus behavior intervention, group B was giv-en routine nursing plus psychological support, group C adopted routine nursing plus health education, group D only received routine nursing. The intervention effect was evaluated with MOAS and the relapse rate of violence behavior went through statistics. Results After intervention, the scores of MOAS decreased sig-nificantly in group A, B, C and D compared with those before intervention. The reduction of MOAS scores in group A, B and C was significantly higher than that of group D, with the highest reduction score in group A and group B and C followed subsequently. The relapse rates of the violence behavior in group A, B and C were significantly lower than those of group D. Conclusions Routine nursing, health education, psycho-logical support and behavior intervention can all reduce and decrease the violence behavior and the inci-dence of the violence behavior, among which behavior intervention proves to be the most effective, and psy-chological support and health education go subsequently.

Objective To compare the effect of different flow rate of oxygen inhalation on relieving scapuledynia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) with carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Methods 100 patients adopted LC were divided into the 2 L/min group (n=50), the 4 Ldmin group (n=50), both re-ceived oxygen inhalation 6 hours after LC. The incidence and degree of scapulodynia and the blood- gas analysis were analyzed. Results The incidence of scapulodynia after LC in the 4 L/min group was signifi-cantly lower than that of 2 L/min group. PaCO2,PaO2 and pH in the 4 L/min group were different from those of the 2 L/min group. Conclusions Increasing flow rate of oxygen inhalation can relieve incidence and degree of scapulodynia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The result of SSRS showed that the total score of social support was higher than that of norm, while the availability of support was obviously lower than that of norm. The result of MCMQ showed that avoidance and submissiveness were used frequently in patients, and avoidance was negatively correlat-ed with the factors of psychology. Conclusions Before the nursing plan and health consultation are set for patients with laryngeal carcinoma, the patients' social support should be used sufficiently, and the effect of coping style on patients' mental health should be evaluated.

Objective To compare the influence of the continuous airway humidification with microp-ump and the discontinuous dripping technique on patients. Methods Randomized grouping method was adopted, 25 cases with tracheotomy in the observation group used continuous airway humidification with micro-pump, 24 cases in the control group used dripping technique via airway for airway humidification. The two groups were compared retrospectively. Results The oxygen saturation rate in the observation group increased compared with that of the control group, sputum callus formation, irritating cough, airway bleeding and pul-monary infection was significantly lower than those of the control group. Condusious The effect of continu-ous airway humidification with micro- pump is superior to the traditional method of inconsistent endotracheal dripping, the former can also decrease nursing workload of airway humidification.
