Objective To compare the application of two different radial artery puncture and cannulation methods in septic shock patients. Meth-ods A total of 80 septic shock patients who need emergency operation were enrolled in this study. The shock index was>1.0. The patients were randomly divided into two groups:ultrasound group(group U)and palpation group(group A),with 40 cases in each group. For the patients in group U,Sonosite S-Nerve ultrasound in the wrist was used to determine the location of the radial artery puncture. For the patients in group A ,pal-pation method was used to determine the location of the radial artery puncture. The heart rate,blood pressure,first puncture success rate,total suc-cess rate,number of punctures,puncture time and complication rate of the two groups were monitored. Results The success rate of first puncture and total success rate of group U were higher than those of group A ,the number of puncture was less than that of group A ,the puncture time was shorter than that of group A,and the incidence of complications was lower than that of group A(P<0.05). Conclusion The application of ultra-sound for radial artery puncture and catheterization in septic shock patients is accurate ,and with higher first success puncture rate and total success rate,less number of puncture,shorter puncture time,and lower incidence of complications compared with palpation method.

Background Cystoid macular edema(CME) is an important cause of visual impairment of central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO).Spectral-Domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT) has increased speed and higher resolution,offering a better chance of understanding the morphological changes and pathogenesis of CME. Objective This study was to survey the morphologic features of macular edema associated with CRVO by SD-OCT. Methods Clinical data of the patients with CRVO diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology,Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2008 to August 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.SD-OCT features of macular edema induced by CRVO were analyzed and recorded.Results The average macular foveal thickness was(527.5±218.2) μm in macular edemas eyes.Main morphological changes included 55 cases(84.6%) of CME,15 cases of(23.1%) serous macular detachment(SMD),and 10 cases(15.4%) of simple macular edema,and these findings occurred at the same time in some eyes.Cystoid spaces in the parafoveal region were seen in the inner nuclear layer,outer plexiform layer and outer nuclear layer,and discontinuous or weak inner segment/outer segment(IS/OS) line was often seen in CME.The incidence of CME associated with incomplete posterior vitreous detachment(PVD) was 14.5%,and that of neural epithelial edema associated with incomplete PVD was 10.0%,showing an insignificant difference between them(χ2=0.000,P=1.000).The average area of SMD was 1838.4μm ×1428.1μm×190.1μm,and the incidence of partial PVD was higher(χ2=4.266,P=0.039).Conclusion SD-OCT can reveal the micro-morphological change of macular zone in macular edema eye.SD-OCT enabled visualization of its spatial extent in each retinal layer and the condition of IS/OS layer.Serous macular edema is related with partial PVD.
