Objective To assess the application effect of the catheter management software on the management of Indwelling urinary catheter in the Emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods A prospective control study of targeted surveillance of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was conducted from January 2014 to December 2015 in EICU. The patients were divided into two groups. The patients in control group (131 patients) were treated from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and received routine catheter management, and the patients in test group (135 patients) were treated from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, and received catheter management by software. The catheter management software was developed and applied, and the process specification which collaborated with the software was established. The quality of the catheter management including the omission rate of the catheter management, the rate of urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and the rate of catheter used etc were evaluated after the software's application. Results Through software applications, the omission rate of the catheter management, the omission rate of urine drainage bag replacementand the omission rate of urinary catheter replacement in test group were significantly lower than those in control group:0 vs. 36.64%(48/131), 0 vs. 15.27%(20/131) and 0 vs. 9.92%(13/131), P<0.01 or<0.05. The performance rate of catheter daily management in test group was significantly higher than that in control group: 99.26%(134/135) vs. 64.12%(84/131), P<0.01. The rate of CAUTI in test group was significantly lower than that in control group: 1.90‰ vs. 9.16‰, χ2=4.843, P=0.028. The rate of catheter used in test group was significantly lower than that in control group: 60.74%(82/135) vs. 73.28%(96/131), P<0.01. Conclusions The development and the establishment of the management software can improve the rate of implement, and declinethe rate of CAUTI.

Objective To study the effect of early entreat nutrition (EN) standardized treatment on optimization of blood glucose control and prognosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods Forty-two patients with MV of ARDS admitted to Huzhou First Municipal People's Hospital from April 2015 to March 2017 were enrolled. April 1st, 2016 was taken as the time node, the patients treated from April 1st, 2015 to March 31st, 2016 were assigned in the control group (n = 20), while the patients treated from April 1st, 2016 to March 31st, 2017 were included in the experimental group (n = 22). The patients in experimental group were given conventional treatment, in 24-48 hours after admission gastrointestinal decompression was stopped and early EN was begun through a nasointestinal tube; the patients in control group received conventional treatment and routine EN (given 48 hours after admission). The differences in nutritional support indexes, the blood glucose variability indexes and the prognostic related indicators were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the initiation time for EN tolerance, first defecation time, time of reaching target feeding amount were significantly earlier in the early EN standardized treatment process management [time of initial EN tolerance (hours): 106.82±42.84 vs. 157.29±56.76, first defecation time (hours): 71.29±23.43 vs. 104.69±26.94, time of reaching target feeding amount (days): 6.24±1.25 vs. 9.86±2.36], the proportions of EN/EN+parenteral nutrition (PN) and the nasointestinal tube feeding reaching the standard on 7 days in experimental group were significantly increased [the proportion of EN/EN+PN:98.69% vs. 78.69%, the nasointestinal tube feeding reaching standard: 68.18% (15/22) vs. 45.00% (9/20)], average level of blood glucose (GLUave), maximum value of blood glucose (GLUmax), standard deviation of blood glucose (GLUsd), coefficient of variation of blood glucose (GLUcv), hyperglycemia incidence, incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), 28-day mortality were significantly decreased [GLUave (mmol/L): 9.4±2.6 vs. 11.5±3.9, GLUmax (mmol/L): 14.19±2.36 vs. 16.26±4.89, GLUsd (mmol/L): 4.86±1.27 vs. 6.87±2.46, GLUcv: (49.86±6.32)% vs. (59.95±5.81)%, hyperglycemia incidence: 59.09% (13/22) vs. 80.00% (16/20), incidence of MODS: 59.09% (13/22) vs. 80.00% (16/20), 28-day mortality: 36.36% (8/22) vs. 45.00% (9/20)], minimum value of blood glucose (GLUmin) was significantly increased (mmol/L: 5.86±2.32 vs. 4.18±1.86), invasive MV time was significantly shorted (hours:156.82±26.84 vs. 169.93±32.34) with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). Early EN could also improve the patient's pulmonary oxygenation function. Since 9 days of disease course, the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 256.97±18.63 vs. 239.82±21.72, P = 0.068], but there was no significant difference in the length of ICU stay (days: 13.9±3.6 vs. 14.8±3.4, P > 0.05). Conclusion The early EN standardized treatment process management can improve the nutritional status, decrease blood sugar fluctuations, and further benefit the improvement of the prognosis of ARDS patients with MV.

Objective:To clarify the application effect of information-guided enteral nutrition-associated diarrhea (ENAD) management process in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing non-invasive assisted ventilation.Methods:A mixed cohort study of pre- and post-control was conducted. Thirty-nine patients with COPD who were admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (ICU) of Huzhou First People's Hospital from July 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 were enrolled. Taking the completion of the software development of ENAD management software for critically ill patients on January 28, 2022 as the time node, 20 patients admitted from July 1, 2021 to January 28, 2022 were set as the control group, and 19 patients admitted from January 29 to July 31, 2022 were set as the observation group. The two groups of patients received the same enteral nutrition support treatment, and the control group implemented the conventional ENAD treatment process with enteral nutrition intolerance disposal process as the core. On the basis of the control group, the observation group implemented the information-guided ENAD treatment process, and the system software actively captured the information of ENAD patients and reminded the medical team to improve the patient's diarrhea-related examination and provide alternative treatment plans. The duration of antidiarrhea, feeding interruption rate, and energy and protein intake, blood biochemical indexes, incidence of abnormal blood electrolyte metabolism, daily continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation and endotracheal intubation after 7 days of targeted diarrhea intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:Except for the basal pulse rate, there were no significant differences in gender distribution, age, and vital signs, basic nutritional status, arterial blood gas analysis and blood biochemistry at admission between the two groups, indicating comparability between the two groups. When ENAD occurred, the patients in the observation group obtained earlier cessation of diarrhea than those in the control group [days: 3.00 (2.00, 3.25) vs. 4.00 (3.00, 5.00), P < 0.01], and the feeding interruption rate was significantly lower than that in the control group [10.53% (2/19) vs. 65.00% (13/20), P < 0.01]. After 7 days of diarrhea intervention, the energy intake of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [kJ·kg -1·d -1: 66.28 (43.34, 70.36) vs. 47.88 (34.60, 52.32), P < 0.01], the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (Alb) and serum prealbumin (PAB) were significantly higher than those in the control group [Hb (g/L): 119.79±10.04 vs. 110.20±7.75, Alb (g/L): 36.00 (33.75, 37.25) vs. 31.00 (30.00, 33.00), PAB (mg/L): 155.79±25.78 vs. 140.95±14.97, all P < 0.05], the daily continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation duration was significantly shorter than that of the control group [hours: 14 (12, 16) vs. 16 (14, 18), P < 0.01], and the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) was significantly lower than that of the control group [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 66.00 (62.00, 70.00) vs. 68.00 (67.50, 70.05), P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences in protein intake, incidence of abnormal electrolyte metabolism, and incidence of endotracheal intubation due to acute respiratory failure between the two groups. Conclusion:The information-guided ENAD treatment process can enable the COPD patients undergoing continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation who experience ENAD to receive earlier cessation of diarrhea, and improve the protein energy metabolism and respiratory function of the patients.
