The strategy of optimizing anesthetic management was carried out in all the patients un?dergoing thoracic surgery in our hospital from January 1, 2012: the patients were monitored using routine electrocardiogram combined with invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring, double?lumen central venous catheter pathway was established, and when severe bradycardia ( heart rate<40 beats∕min) occurred, inter?vention was carried out immediately, and chest compression was performed timely. Medical records of 15 212 patients from July 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011 ( before optimizing anesthetic management) as well as medical records of 17 078 patients from January 1, 2012 to January 15, 2015 ( after optimizing an?esthetic management) were reviewed. The data including baseline patient characteristics as well as the time period and causes of cardiac arrest, rescue time, rescue measures, successful resuscitation and prognosis in the patients developing intraoperative cardiac arrest were collected. Before optimizing anesthetic manage?ment, 28 patients developed cardiac arrest, the incidence was 0?184%, successful resuscitation was found in 25 cases, the success rate of resuscitation was 89%, and there were 3 cases in whom resuscitation failed due to massive hemorrhage?induced cardiac arrest. After optimizing anesthetic management, 17 patients de?veloped cardiac arrest, the incidence was 0?109%, massive hemorrhage?induced cardiac arrest was not found in patients, and the success rate of resuscitation was 100%. Prognosis was good after surgery in suc?cessfully resuscitated patients. Compared with the values before optimizing anesthetic management, the in?cidence of cardiac arrest was significantly decreased (P=0?05), and no significant change was found in the other parameters after optimizing anesthetic management ( P>0?05) , and the incidence of cardiac arrest was decreased by 45% after optimizing anesthetic management. In conclusion, the strategy of optimizing anesthetic management is helpful in decreasing the occurrence of cardiac arrest during thoracic surgery.

Objective To investigate outpatients' awareness of the essential medicine system and their intention to use it at county hospitals,analyze the problems in the implementation process and give suggestions.Methods Using questionnaires to survey randomly intercepted patients.Data so acquired were keyed in twice with Epidata 3.0 and SPSS 16.0 was used for analysis featuring descriptive statistics.Results Among the 1064 patients surveyed,only 159 (14.9％)have heard of essential medicines,and the top three ways of awareness were respectively from medical staff,television and Internet; patients pay most attention to drug efficacy in their daily life and the majority of them follow doctors' advices.Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen promotions,formulate diversified publicity strategy,train doctors to guide patients to use essential medicines rationally.

Methods Using the PATH model ( a performance appraisal tool for hospital ) quality improvement, an appraisal system was built for such institutions. Centering on patients, this system encompassed such dimensions as public benefits, quality of care and safety, staff and hospital development. Results This system consisted of six level-1 indicators, 21 level-2 indicators and 70 level-3 indicators, each given due weight. Conclusions This indicator system centers on patients, follows guidance of public benefits, and aims at continuous quality improvement, making it an effective in evaluating hospital performance and providing reference for the decision-makers to promote and adjust medical reform policies.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of esketamine on postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-four elderly patients, aged ≥ 65 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=112 each) using a random number table method: esketamine group (S group) and control group (C group). Esketamine 0.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected before anesthesia induction in S group, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C group.The Fuzzy Consciousness Assessment Scale (3D-CAM) was used to assess the occurrence of POD within 7 days after surgery.The consumption of propofol, remifentanil and sufentanil and use of vasoactive drugs were recorded during operation.The rescue analgesia within 48 h after operation and occurrence of postoperative complications were recorded. Results:Compared with C group, the incidence of POD was significantly decreased, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was reduced, and the utilization rate of vasoactive drugs, rate of rescue analgesia and incidence of postoperative vertigo, nausea and vomiting within 48 h after surgery were decreased in S group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine can reduce the development of POD in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors associated with frailty among institutional older adults and to provide evidence for intervention study.Methods A total of 237 older adults living in four welfare homes from Chengdu in Sichuan Province were recruited by convenience sampling.A cross-sectional survey was conducted,and frailty was assessed by the frailty phenotype;general information was collected by selfmade general information questionnaire;functional capacity was assessed by Barthel questionnaire;depressive status was assessed by GDS-15;cognitive function was assessed by clock drawing test and nutritional status was assessed by short form mini nutritional scale questionnaire (MNA-SF).Results The reported rate of frailty was 55.69％ among institutional older adults,and 44.31％ reported no frailty;grip weakness (207,87.3％),slow walking speed (172,72.6％) and low physical activity(131,55.3％) were the main frailty problems.Univariate analysis showed that the elderly'frailty conditions were different in the pre-retirement occupations,smoking,alcohol consumption,physical exercise,chronic diseases,medication,acute events (last year),self-reported health,using assisted walking devices,ability of daily life,depression,cognitive ability and nutritional status,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The status of frailty is not optimistic among institutional older adults and many factors are associated with frailty.Healthcare providers should pay more attention to the frailty issue and take timely intervention strategies to prevent or delay the frailty.
