Objective To discuss the application and effect of predictive care in stage divided treatment and salvage of children's persistent status of epilepsy (SE).Methods Sixty-four children with SE were admitted to the First Peoples Hospital of Wenling in Zhejiang Province from December 2014 to December 2016 as the research objects, a controlled study was adopted, in which the stage divided therapeutic method was compared with the conventional method for treatment of SE, and the children were divided into an observation group and a control group, 32 cases in each group. Foresight treatment method was used in the observation group: the first stage of treatment (early treatment or pre-hospital treatment) was intravenous injection of the first-line drugs (benzodiazepines); the second stage of treatment (progressive stage treatment or initial treatment) mainly used epileptic drugs to prevent recurrence; the third stage treatment (referred to after the first-line drug in combination with one second line antiepileptic drug treatment, the disease was still unable to be controlled) adopted the mild hypothermia therapy to reduce the SE attack amplitude and decrease recurrence; in terms of aspects of predictive nursing measures, the respiratory tract nursing, basic nursing, the prediction of complications and their nursing, etc. were implemented. The routine nursing without care about the stages was carried out in the control group. The SE control time, skin lesions, false aspiration, lung infection, tongue bite, cerebral edema, etc. the incidenceof complications were observed in two groups of children.Results The SE control time was significantly shorter in observation group than that in the control group (minutes: 18.13±3.15 vs. 25.19±2.69,P < 0.05), and the incidence of complications was obviously lower in observation group than that in the control group [6.25% (2/32) vs. 28.13% (9/32),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Using different therapy at different stages of children SE combined with predictive care can effectively shorten the SE control time, decrease the incidence of complications and elevate the therapeutic and nursing effects.

Objective To explore the effect of lean management on cost control of single disease in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) in stroke center. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The patients with ACI who underwent intravenous thrombolysis in the stroke center of Taizhou Central Hospital in Zhejiang Province were enrolled. Thirty patients adopted traditional management procedures from July 2016 to September 2017 were enrolled in the control group, and 32 patients received lean management from October 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled in the lean group. The patients in the control group were treated with traditional intravenous thrombolysis, and the patients were sent to the neurology ward for intravenous thrombolysis. The patients in the lean group applied lean management value stream to optimize process management, the lean management team of the stroke center was established, and the green channel for stroke treatment was established to eliminate the waiting time as far as possible. The location of thrombolysis was changed from neurology ward to the neurological intensive care unit (NICU) in emergency department. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of intravenous thrombolytic door-to-needle time (DNT), admission time to the neurologist's visit time (T1), CT examination time to neurology ward or NICU admission time (T2), neurology ward/NICU visit time to medication time (T3), and the proportion of patients with DNT controlled within 40 minutes, recovery of neurological impairment 7 days after thrombolysis [national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score], activity of daily living assessment (Barthel index), length of hospital stay, cost of hospital stay and patient satisfaction. At the same time, the main process quality and the implementation rate of easily missed indexes of cerebral infarction single disease were recorded. Results Compared with the control group, DNT, T1 and T2 in the lean group were significantly shortened [DNT (minutes): 39.56±11.12 vs. 63.03±19.63, T1 (minutes): 16.23±6.79 vs. 33.48±12.63, T2 (minutes): 13.45±3.84 vs. 17.47±5.56, all P < 0.01], T3 was slightly shortened (minutes: 9.88±1.95 vs. 10.95±2.69, P > 0.05), and the proportion of DNT control within 40 minutes was significantly increased [75.0% (24/32) vs. 16.7% (5/30), P < 0.01], the 7-day NIHSS score was decreased significantly (8.66±4.12 vs. 13.00±5.63, P < 0.01), 7-day Barthel index was increased significantly (71.6±16.7 vs. 54.7±17.1, P < 0.01), the length of hospital stay was significantly shortened (days: 9.69±4.06 vs. 12.47±3.83, P < 0.01), the hospital costs were significantly reduced (Yuan: 16 338±5 481 vs. 19 470±5 495, P < 0.05), the satisfaction of patients was improved significantly [(91.38±2.69)% vs. (86.53±2.78)%, P < 0.01]. In terms of the implementation rate of quality indicators such as pre-application evaluation of thrombolytic drugs, evaluation of dysphagia, and evaluation of vascular function, health education of ACI, rehabilitation evaluation and implementation within 24 hours, etc., the lean group was significantly improved as compared with the control group [(87.5% (28/32) vs. 53.3% (16/30), 96.9% (31/32) vs. 73.3% (22/30), 78.1% (25/32) vs. 43.3% (13/30), 100.0% (32/32) vs. 76.7% (23/30), 75.0% (24/32) vs. 33.3% (10/30), all P < 0.05]. Conclusion Lean thinking can realize the standardization of stroke center process, effectively utilize medical resources, improve medical quality and reduce the cost of cerebral infarction single disease.
