Objective To investigate the activity of autonomic nervous system (ANS) in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus ( DM) after non-cardiac surgery. Mehtods Thirty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients aged ≥ 60 yrs undergoing elective abdominal surgery or operation on the lower limbs were assigned to one of 2 groups ( n =15 each) : DM group and non-DM group. The patients were monitored with Holter (DMS Co, U.S. A) the day before and on the 1st and 2nd day after operation. Heart-rate variability (HRV) including total power (TP), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), very low frequency (VLF) and LF/HF ratio were recorded. Results TP and HF were significantly lower in DM group than in non-DM group before operation ( P

Objective To determine the incidence of pre- and postoperative myocardial ischemia (MI) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery and to identify the predictors of perioperative MI. Methods One hundred and fifty patients (99 male, 51 female) aged 42-89 yr, weighing 35-87 kg undergoing elective noncardiac surgery were enrolled in this study. Patients with left or right bundle branch block, left ventricular hypertrophy, low voltage on ECG using limb leads, being treated with digoxin or on artificial pacemaker were excluded from the study. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular atropine 0.5 mg and phenobarbital sodium 0.1 g, and were monitored continuously with dynamic ECG (DMS Holler 5.0 USA) for at least 12 h before surgery and 48 h after surgery. The incidence of MI, the number of ischemic episodes, the duration of MI and the area under the ST curve per hour were computed pre- and postoperatively. Factors that could affect MI including age, sex, weight, ASA class, history of cardiac disease, cardiac risk factors, cardiac medication, anesthesia, surgery, laboratory and other physiological data were also recorded. The potential predictors of perioperative MI were identified by univariate model and were then entered into multivariate logistic models. Results The incidence of preoperative MI was 4.7% and postoperative MI was 22.7 % . The incidence of MI and number of ischemia episodes achieved peak levels at 12-24 h after operation, while the duration of MI and the area under the ST curve peaked at 0-12 h after operation. Predictors of postoperative MI were : preoperative MI identified by ECG, age ≥ 65 yr, ASA class ≥ Ⅲ , history of angina, or hypertension or diabetes and high VAS score. Conclusion Postoperative MI usually develops on the first day after surgery. The patients at high risk for developing postoperative MI can be identified by predictors.

Objective:To design a heating and pressurizing flushing device and to assess its application effect in hysteroscopic surgery.Methods:The heating and pressurizing flushing device was composed of a heating and pressing device,a liquid crystal control panel module,flushing pipeline,heating pipeline and a support frame.A total of 100 female patients who underwent gynecological hysteroscopic surgery at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from May 2021 to April 2022 were selected and divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The observation group adopted a heating and pressurizing device to perform heating and pressurizing operations during hysteroscopic surgery,the control group adopted manual inflatable pressurized infusion bags to perform heating and pressurizing operations during hysteroscopic surgery by inflating and squeezing the air bag.The clarity of dilated uterus,operation time,preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative body temperature of the patients,and satisfaction of doctors and nurses were compared between the two groups.Results:The clarity rate of dilated uterus and satisfaction of doctors and nurses in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2=7.862,8.392,P<0.05).The operation time of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=51.099,P<0.05).The body temperature of the patients at 15 minutes during operation and 20 minutes after operation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=-13.153,-17.911,P<0.05).Conclusion:The use of heating and pressurizing device in gynecological hysteroscopic surgery can increase the clarity of dilated uterus,effectively shorten operation time,save human resources,reduce complications and improve the satisfaction of medical staff.The clinical application effect is good.
