The implementation rate of hand hygiene from 2013 to 2018 and the accuracy rate of hand hygiene from 2016 to 2018 of medical staff in the author′ s department, and incidences of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) of central venous, catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) of burn intensive care unit in the author′s department from 2013 to 2018 were monitored.The following 7 indicators were monitored from 2013 to 2018, including false negative rate of nosocomial infection, incidence of hyperglycemia during intensive insulin treatment for severely burned patients, the implementation rate of CRBSI preventive measures, the specification rate of surface fixation of indwelling catheter, the implementation rate of VAP preventive measures, the accuracy rate of bed temperature during the use of suspended bed, and the implementation rate of hand hygiene of standardized training medical staff in the author′ s department before and after improvement. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test.Results:The implementation rate of hand hygiene of medical staff in the author′ s department was 88.0%-89.5% from 2013 to 2018, the correct rate of hand hygiene of medical staff in the author′ s department was 95.10%-97.35%, and both reached the target values. The incidences of CRBSI in 2015, VAP in 2017, and CAUTI in 2013, 2014, and 2017 of burn intensive care unit failed to reach the respective target value and reached the respective target value after quality improvement, and the above-mentioned 3 indicators reached the respective target value in other years. From 2013 to 2018, the false negative rate of nosocomial infection and the incidence of hyperglycemia during intensive insulin treatment of severely burned patients in the author′ s department after improvement were significantly lower than those before improvement ( χ2=24.50, 4.74, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the implementation rate of CRBSI preventive measures, the specification rate of surface fixation of indwelling catheter, the implementation rate of VAP preventive measures, and the accuracy rate of bed temperature during the use of suspended bed after improvement in the author′ s department were significantly higher than those before improvement ( χ2=13.78, 6.50, 20.37, 13.92, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the implementation rate of hand hygiene of standardized training medical staff in the author′ s department after improvement was similar to that before improvement ( χ2=1.71, P>0.05). Conclusions:The introduction of JCI standard can improve the implementation rate and accuracy rate of hand hygiene of medical staff in burn department, reduce the incidences of CRBSI, CAUTI, and VAP, and improve the effect of prevention and control of nosocomial infection in burn department.
3.Advances in research of paravertebral muscle changes after lumbar fusion
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2024;44(19):1300-1304
Lumbar fusion remains a widely used procedure in clinical practice; however, both patients and clinicians often face challenges related to chronic low back pain and adjacent segment degeneration following traditional open lumbar fixation and fusion. Recent studies have demonstrated that these complications are associated with muscle ischemia and denervation caused by intraoperative dissection and traction of the paravertebral muscles. The postoperative mass of the paravertebral muscles has also been proposed as a predictor of surgical outcomes. With advancements in minimally invasive spinal techniques, minimally invasive lumbar fusion has gained increasing clinical application, drawing more attention to its impact on the paravertebral muscles. After lumbar fusion, the paravertebral muscles undergo a series of histopathological and morphological changes. Traditional open lumbar fusion can exacerbate the natural degeneration of paraspinal muscles, manifesting histopathologically as multifidus muscle edema, an increase in opaque fibers, muscle fiber necrosis, and infiltration of fat and connective tissue. Denervation and a reduction in motor units have been observed through electromyography, while imaging has revealed reduced muscle volume and strength. Different lumbar fusion techniques exert varying effects on the paravertebral muscles. Compared to traditional lumbar fusion, approaches such as the paramedian interfascial approach (PIA), multifidus muscle bundle (MMB) approach, minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar fusion (MIS-TLIF), and cortical bone trajectory screw techniques reduce iatrogenic paravertebral muscle injury. Moreover, anterior lumbar interbody fusion, oblique lateral interbody fusion, lateral lumbar interbody fusion, and endoscopic posterolateral transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion can significantly minimize or even prevent paravertebral muscle injury, leading to improved clinical outcomes.

On February 6, 2017, one male patient aged 25 years with total burn area of 99% total body surface area (TBSA) and full-thickness burn area of 95% TBSA was transferred from a primary hospital to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine one day post injury. On admission, the patient was clearly conscious, with tracheotomy ventilator assisted ventilation, and received rehydration, antishock, anti-infection, nutritional support, debridement, skin grafting, and negative pressure treatment. During the hospitalization, the patient was in critical condition and 28 central venous catheterizations and 1 peripherally inserted central catheter were performed.Based on multidisciplinary cooperation and on the premise of full risk assessment, nurses focused on strengthening the nursing of central venous catheter related infection. The measures for central venous catheter care were improved after detection of carbapenems resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from catheter tip attachment, wound exudate, and blood culture, active prevention measure targeted at thrombosis around central venous catheter was performed, and prevention of unplanned extubation was emphasized during the use of rotating bed, soaking bath, and agitation of patient. On the 171st day of admission, peripherally inserted central venous catheter was performed by intravenous therapy nurse specialist on the scar formation site of the right upper arm. The catheter was withdrawn after indwelling for 55 days and the patient recovered and was discharged. During follow-up of 18 months, the patient recovered well.
