Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a reversible myocardial dysfunction due to sepsis, which may be severe enough to complicate cardiogenic shock, and without effective drug and with high mortality during the acute phase. A case of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy complicated with cardiogenic shock was treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Shunde Hospital Southern Medical University. A 37 years old female patient was admitted because she had suffered repeated fever for 5 days, chest tightness and abdominal pain for 3 days. At the same time, there were severe cardiac depression and abdominal infection, which could be explained by the monismtheory of sepsis cardiomyopathy. The cardiogenic shock patient was not improved after antibiotic therapy and hemodynamic support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support was prescribed. The circulation failure was smoothly got through with ECMO and was transfer from ICU to ordinary ward. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) of abdominal aorta and colonoscopy indicated lesions of small intestine. The diagnosis of infection and bleeding in ileum diverticulum was confirmed during the operation and the lesions was removed. She recovered and was discharged 1 week after operation. Through the case review, we aim to improve the awareness of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and the value of ECMO support in cardiogenic shock.

Objective:To summarize the research on oral health education for pregnant women.Methods:The literature was described and analyzed using a scoping review method. Seven databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang Data, were electronically searched, and the search period was from database establishment to October 30, 2023.Results:A total of 43 articles were included. The implementers of health education were mainly dental professionals and prenatal healthcare personnel. The theoretical basis included the health belief model, planned behavior theory, social cognitive model and so on. The methods involved traditional teaching or lectures, family-centered, internet-based, and motivational interviews. The contents contained many aspects of oral health for pregnant women. The evaluation indicators mainly covered oral health knowledge, attitude and practice, and self-efficacy, oral health beliefs, oral health status, the incidence of oral diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant and postpartum women, and childhood caries incidence.Conclusions:We should establish a cooperation team of the Department of Stomatology and Obstetrics and Gynecology, incorporate oral health for pregnant women into prenatal care projects, fully utilize the platform of pregnant women's schools, explore the optimal theoretical basis for oral health education, and improve the content of oral health education for pregnant women.
