Objective To explore hypertension patients' acceptability with the remote management model, and to provide a basis for clinical application in the future.Methods Totally 10 patients who received remote management between June and September 2016 were selected, and received unstructured interviews based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the phenomenological method in qualitative studies. And the data thus collected were analyzed and organized with the Colaizzi Seven-Step Method to find main themes. Results Totally 3 themes were found according to TAM, including perceived ease of use (the management platform was easy for use according to patients), perceived usefulness (patients better understood their own blood pressure, changed their habits of blood pressure monitoring and unhealthy lifestyle, improved treatment efficiency, and saved time costs), and intention of use (the participation of medical and nursing staffs could directly affect patients' intention of use, and patients had different opinions on expenses, believing that it was more meaningful to conduct remote management in short time and in particular cases).Conclusions Patients show a high acceptability with the remote management model, and in clinical application, further research is needed to tackle real difficulties and ensure the sustainable development of the model.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of simplified augmented reality (AR) technique in the location of puncture point before drainage of supratentorial hemorrhage in the elderly.Methods:One hundred and sixty-three senile patients with supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage (amount of bleeding: 30-60 mL) treated by hematoma drainage from February 2018 to February 2020 were chosen in our study; 85 patients (observation group) were treated with AR technique assisted drainage, and 78 patients (control group) accepted drainage assisted by virtual reality (VR) technique (3D slicer software) combined with AR technique (Sina software). The differences of preoperative location time, accuracy rate of catheter placement, sufficient drainage rate of hematoma within 72 h of surgery, postoperative pulmonary infection rate, postoperative Intensive Care Unit staying time, and favorable prognosis rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The accuracy of the catheter placement (95.3% vs. 94.9%), sufficient drainage rate of hematoma within 72 h of surgery (96.5% vs. 96.2%), postoperative pulmonary infection rate (21.2% vs. 19.2%), postoperative Intensive Care Unit staying time ([75.5±16.7] h vs. [81.5±19.5] h), favorable prognosis rate (75.3% vs. 70.5%) between the observation group and control group showed no significant differences ( P>0.05), but the preoperative location time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ([12.2±6.5] min vs. [37.5±11.3] min, P<0.05). Conclusion:On the basis of no significant difference in the accuracy and therapeutic effect of catheter placement, drainage assisted by simplified AR technique is more convenient and faster than that by VR combined with AR technique.
