First aid skills are very important in the process of disaster medical rescue methods. Some first aid skills is rarely applied in clinical work at ordinary times, resulting in relevant medical personnel grasp of these skills being not enough skilled. This training method combined with the sim-ulator, has the characteristics and advantages of being close to the real, operational and repeatable. The main training program consists of 6 basic skills such as ventilation, hemostasis, bandaging, fixing, handling, basic life support. By simulating the real disaster scenario and simulation cases, we have targeted a single first aid skills training and multiple comprehensive ability training of first aid skills to trainees. To evaluate the training effect we have examined the individual skills of our trainees, with excellent performance as the goal, and in the comprehensive skills ability assessment we have paid attention to the emergency team's team cooperation ability. By the application of comprehensive simu-lation training and evaluation, the trainees can master all kinds of first aid skills in a short period of time.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effects of endoscopic surgical treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with veitebral osteochondrosis.Methods From June 2008 to December 2015,276 cases of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with vertebral osteochondrosis were treated with endoscopic surgery,including 185 men and 91 women,with an average 39.2 years old (range,16-65 years old).The involved level included L2.3 in 2 cases,L3.4 in 9 cases,L4,5 in 126 cases and L5S1 in 139 cases.On preoperative axial CT,the diameter of ossification was more than half of the transverse or sagittal diameter of the spinal canal in 89 cases,and no more than half of the transverse and sagittal diameter of the spinal canal in 187 cases.All patients were operated on the side with serious symptom,181 cases were operated with mobile microendoscopic discectomy (MMED),and 95 cases were operated with percutaneous endoscopic surgery,including percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in 61 cases and the percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic discectomy (PIED) in 34 cases.The operation and complications were analyzed.Results The soft herniation,broken disc material and the periphery of compressing ossification were removed under the endoscope in all cases,until the nerve was well decompressed.However,the ossification was not complete resected.Dural sac tear occurred in 3 cases of MMED.In the early stage of PTED,2 cases converted to MMED because of intraoperative pain and difficulty,and one case had exiting nerve root injury.At the final follow-up of 12-60 months (average,20.6 months),visual analogue scale decreased from preoperative 8.5±1.2 to 1.0±0.9,Oswestry disability index decreased from preoperative 40.2±8.6 to 3.1±3.0.According to Macnab scale,the results were excellent in 89,good in 154 cases,moderate in 33 cases.Conclusion For most lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with vertebral osteochondrosis,good results can be achieve by removal of herniated and broken intervertebral disc and decompression of nerve with endoscope.Therefore,we speculate that the soft disc herniation and spinal stenosis are main pathogenic factors,and that the complete resection of ossification is not needed.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of severe hemolysis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods The clinical data of adult patients undergoing ECMO after cardiac surgery admitted to Fuwai Hospital from December 2010 to October 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, renal function, primary disease, operation data, ECMO related data and outcomes were recorded. Patients were divided into normal free hemoglobin (FHB) group (FHB ≤ 500 mg/L) and severe hemolysis group (FHB > 500 mg/L) according to the FHB level during ECMO support. The parameters before and after ECMO support were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors of severe hemolysis. Results A total of 81 patients including 19 patients with severe hemolysis was enrolled, and 62 in normal FHB group. There was no difference in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, clamping time, lactate level before ECMO, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intra-aortic balloon pump use and central catheter insertion between two groups. The maximums of serum creatinine (SCr) and FHB levels were higher in severe hemolysis group as compared with those in normal FHB group [maximal SCr (μmol/L): 281.02±164.11 vs. 196.67±87.31, maximal FHB (mg/L): 600 (600, 700) vs. 200 (100, 300)], the incidence of clots in circuit or oxygenator, infection, and hemofiltration in severe hemolysis group was increased [26.3% (5/19) vs. 4.8% (3/62), 31.6% (6/19) vs. 12.9% (8/62), 36.8% (7/19) vs. 14.5% (9/62), all P < 0.1]. As well as outcomes including the rate of site of surgery or intubation bleeding and acute renal failure [ARF, 57.9 % (11/19) vs. 30.6% (19/62), 94.7% (18/19) vs. 41.9% (26/62)], and the survival rate was lowered [10.5% (2/19) vs. 51.6% (32/62), all P < 0.05]. As result of univariate analysis, clots in circuit or oxygenator, infection and hemofiltration were associated with severe hemolysis. It was showed by logistic regression analysis that the clots in circuit or oxygenator was a risk factor of severe hemolysis during ECMO [odds ratio (OR) = 6.262, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.244-31.515, P = 0.026]. Conclusions The clots in circuit or oxygenator were independent risk factors of severe hemolysis during ECMO. Severe hemolysis can induce the increase of the rate of bleeding in the operation site or intubation and the rate of ARF, and decrease of the survival rate.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of hoop circumference drug,Hongzhongxiao tincture,on the treatment of skin abscess in rats under the guidance of defended field theory.Methods Forty SpragueDawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,western medicine control group,Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group and Hongzhongxiao treatment group according to the computer generated random number.Subcutaneous abscesses models were reproduced by subcutaneous injection of 1 mL (3-5 × 109 cfu/mL) of staphylococcus aureus,and the normal control group was subcutaneously injected with the same amount of normal saline.After molding,the rats in the model group were treated with normal saline for change of dressing;the western medicine control group was treated with mupirocin ointment for external use;Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group was treated with 2 mL of Hongzhongxiao for dressing 4 hours after the modeling;in Hongzhongxiao treatment group,2 mL dressing was given after the emergence of hard swelling,and the Hongzhongxiao drug range applied was 1 cm over the swelling range.Each group was dressed once daily.The changes of mental state,body weight,skin temperature,range and time of abscess formation,wound ulceration and healing time,transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) at the periphery of abscess were observed in each group.Results ① After modeling,the activity of the rats was decreased,the appetite became worse,and the food intake less.Except the normal control group,the rats in other groups had different degrees of mental listlessness.② After 3 days of treatment,the body weight gain of the model group was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (g:8.75 ± 9.85 vs.31.67 ± 7.92,P < 0.01),and continued to 18 days after treatment (g:27.13± 11.70 vs.98.00 ± 8.94);after treatment for 18 days,the body weight gain in the western medicine control group,Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group and Hongzhongxiao treatment group was significantlyhigher than those of model group (g:53.28 ± 19.69,49.12 ± 7.23,44.71 ± 12.42 vs.27.13 ± 11.70,all P < 0.05).③ After 3 days of treatment,the body temperature of the model group was obviously lower than that of the normal control group (℃:33.75 ± 0.68 vs.35.03 ± 0.41,P < 0.01) and continued to 10 days (℃:34.30 ± 0.35 vs.35.03 ± 0.41,P < 0.01).The body temperature of the rats in Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group was significantly lower than that in the normal control group,the model group and the western medicine control group on the 14th day after treatment (℃:33.97 ± 0.83 vs.35.10 ± 0.57,35.01 ± 0.68,35.25 ± 0.23,all P < 0.05).The body temperature of Hongzhongxiao treatment group was significantly higher than that of the Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group (℃:34.87 ± 0.94 vs.33.97 ± 0.83,P <0.05).④ After treatment for 13,15,17 days,the contraction rates of swollen area in western medicine control group,hongzhongxiao pretreatment group and hongzhongxiao treatment group were greater than the rate in model group,and the change was most significant on the 17th day after treatment [(96.37 ± 5.09)%,(92.76 ± 13.56)%,(98.41 ± 3.85)% vs.(77.46 ± 19.07)%,all P < 0.05].⑤ Compared with the model group,the times of abscess localization in the western medicine control group,the Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group and the Hongzhongxiao treatment group was shorter than that in the model group (days:9.28 ± 1.38,7.33 ± 1.97,7.67 ± 1.63 vs.12.63 ± 1.99,all P < 0.05);the time of wound healing in Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group aud Hongzhongxiao treatment group were significantly shorter than those of the model group (days:17.67 ± 1.03,16.83 ± 1.51 vs.19.92 ± 2.33,P < 0.05).⑥ TcPO2 in the Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group was significantly higher than that in the model group on the 7th day after treatment [mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa):63.33 ± 9.77 vs.39.51 ± 8.42],and the Hongzhongxiao treatment group (44.25 ± 6.41) was significantly lower than that of the Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group,and the Hongzhongxiao treatment group was significantly higher than that of the model group (59.50 ± 7.34 vs.49.52 ± 10.17) on the 14th day after drug application,and the western medicine control group was significantly lower than that of the model group (37.71 ± 5.63 vs.54.33 ± 7.74),the Hongzhongxiao pretreatment group and Hongzhongxiao treatment group were significantly higher than those of the western medicine control group,the difference being statistically significant (all P < 0.05).Conclusions The Hongzhongxiao tincture applied on top and circumferentially around the periphery of the abscess can reduce the local inflammatory response,improve the body weight and mental state,increase the blood supply around wound periphery for anti-infection and anti-inflammation in order to promote the formation of defending field of nursing.Although the early application of Hongzhongxiao tincture cannot reduce the local infectious symptoms and kill the Staphylococcus aureus,it can make skin abscess localization as soon as possible and shorten the wound healing time.
