The present study evaluated the application of three dimensional echocardigraphy (3DE) in the diagnosis of atrial septal defect (ASD) and the measurement of its size by 3DE and compared the size with surgical findings. Two-dimensional and real-time three dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) was performed in 26 patients with atrial septal defect, and the echocardiographic data were compared with the surgical findings. Significant correlation was found between defect diameter by RT3DE and that measured during surgery (r=0.77, P<0.001). The defect area changed significantly during cardiac cycle. Percentage change in defect size during cardiac cycle ranged from 6%-70%. Our study showed that the size and morphology of atrial septal defect obtained with RT3DE correlate well with surgical findings. Therefore, RT3DE is a feasible and accurate non-invasive imaging tool for assessment of atrial septal size and dynamic changes.

Objective:Focusing on the medical protection of marine sports events at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. This paper analyzes the effect of the development and implementation of the medical protection program to provide a referable summary of experience for the medical protection of future large-scale international maritime events.Method:This paper retrospectively analyzed the medical protection of Ningbo Xiangshan Yafan Center during the preparation stage of the Asian Games Sailing Competition, and during the period from September 21 to September 27, 2023 when the Asian Games Sailing Competition is held. Analyze the organizational structure and scheme of medical support.Results:During this Asian Games sailing competition, there were a total of 14 paramedics, 4 rescue helicopter crews, 2 ambulances and 1 rescue helicopter in and around the competition venues. In the city, the designated hospital has set up a total of 12 working groups, 15 protection outpatient clinics and a number of various types of clinic areas. There are 129 medical and nursing staff directly participating in the medical protection work of the Asian Games. A total of 44 specialized beds were reserved in the designated hospitals. There were also a number of volunteers and logistic staff who relied on the support work. The top three major disease types were trauma with 66 cases (29.2%), upper respiratory tract infection with 34 cases (15.04%) and skin allergy with 19 cases (8.51%). The top two population groups consulted were staff with 95 visits (44.19%) and technical officers with 89 visits (41.40%).Conclusions:During the sailing competitions of the Asian Games, the medical care was smooth and orderly. Trauma, upper respiratory tract infections and skin allergies are the most prominent diseases. The number of medical consultations for staff and technical officials of the Asian Games Sailing Competition accounted for more than 80% of the total number of consultations for all personnel. They should be given priority care.
