Objective To observe the efficacy of early pulmonary rehabilitation training on respiratory function of patients with hypox-emia after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods From February, 2013 to September, 2016, 53 patients with hypoxemia after coronary ar-tery bypass grafting were randomly divided into control group (n=25) and observation group (n=28). Both of them received routine therapy, while the observation group received pulmonary rehabilitation training in addition. Results Three days after extubation, the forced expirato-ry volume in one second (FEV1) (measured) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t>3.590, P<0.01), while the level of PaO2 was higher (t=5.824, P<0.001); the FEV1 (measured), FEV1(measured/ predicted) and FEV1/FVC decreased in both groups (F>1.044, P<0.05). The hospital stay was shorter (t=―2.138, P=0.037). The level of PaO2 was the high-est one day after extubation among three time points in both groups (P<0.001). No significantly difference was observed in mechanical ven-tilation time and ICU stay between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Early respiratory exerciser training could improve the respiratory func-tion of patients with hypoxemia after coronary artery bypass grafting, shorten hospital stay.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) in predicting the prognosis of patients with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).Methods:The clinical data of patients undergoing ECMO admitted to Intensive Care Unit of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2015 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to the prognosis during ICU hospitalization. The patients' basic data , acute physiology and chronic health score system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), RDW and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) at 72 hours after treatment with ECMO were compared between the two groups. Univariate and Logistic regression multivariate analyses were used to analyze the prognostic factors of patients with ECMO, predictive models and death warning scores were established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of RDW and death warning scores for the prognosis of patients with ECMO.Results:A total of 71 patients with ECMO who met the inclusion criteria were included, including 38 patients in the death group and 33 patients in the survival group. The age, APACHE-Ⅱscore, 72 h RDW and 72 h APTT in the death group were higher than those in the survival group. Respectively, the hospitalization time of ICU in the death group was significantly lower than that in the survival group ( P< 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE-Ⅱscore ( OR=1.117, P=0.047)、72 h RDW( OR=1.102, P=0.029) and 72 h APTT ( OR=1.049, P=0.029) were independent risk factors for death in patients with ECMO. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the APACHE-Ⅱ, score 、72 h RDW and 72 h APTT were 0.691, 0.691 and 0.632( P<0.05), Respectively, the combined AUC was 0.764, the sensitivity was 0.526, and the specificity was 0.909. The death warning score of patients with ECMO was established according to the Predictive model , which is less than 2 points with low risk of death and more than 2 points with high risk of death. The area under the ROC curve of death warning score is 0.8, the sensitivity is 0.607 and the specificity is 0.923. Conclusions:The RDW at 72 hours after treatment with ECMO has a good value in predicting the prognosis of patients with ECMO. Besides, a greater predictive value for the prognosis of patients with ECMO by combining 72 hours RDW, 72 hours APTT with APACHE-Ⅱscore than that of any separate indicator.
