Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) interventions on volume status in hemodialysis patient. Methods Searched The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, EBsco, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine, China National Knowledge Infrastructure to collect clinical trials. The retrieval time was from database to July 15, 2016. The studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were critically appraised by two reviewers. Then the data of included studies were extracted. Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.3 software and descriptive analysis. Results Ten clinical trials were included six random control trial, one controlled clinical trail, three longitudinal study, involving 2009 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the effectiveness of BIA interventions on volume management could improve blood pressure (P=0.001), protect the heart function(left ventricular mass index,P=0.002), compared with the clinical evaluation method, the BIA assessment of dry weight of hemodialysis patients could reduce hospitalization rate 14%. Descriptive analysis showed that BIA intervention volume management had certain advantages for the survival benefit of patients, but the current research was still few, had not yet come to a certain conclusion. Conclusions BIA can improve the management of the volume status and dry weight of hemodialysis patients, so as to it can improve the clinical benefit and survival benefit of patients.Better methods and guidelines for assessing DW and using BIA need to be developed.We propose that experienced HD nursing staff be trained in the use of the BIA to help monitor patient over hydration and approximate dry weight in consultation with the nephrologists responsible for the care of these patients so as to obviate excessive residual over hydration between nephrology reviews.

Objective? To review the intervention effects of auricular-plaster therapy on adults with anxiety systematically. Methods? Data about random controlled trails of auricular-plaster therapy in treating anxiety were collected from Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, CBMdisc, CNKI and Wanfang databases. The quality of literatures were assessed and the data were collected by two persons independently. Multiple-time-point Meta-analysis was used for anxiety, while endpoint Meta-analysis was used for quality of sleep and life. RevMan 5.3 was used for statistical analysis. Results? Totally 15 literatures were included in this study, involving 890 subjects. Meta-analysis showed that auricular-plaster therapy could ameliorate anxiety continuously with high degrees within 2 months (P< 0.01), but there were no notable effects yet beyond 2 months (P> 0.05). Auricular-plaster therapy could improve the quality of sleep effectively (P<0.001). There was no evidence that auricular-plaster therapy could improve the quality of life (P>0.05). Conclusions? Auricular-plaster therapy can ameliorate patients' anxiety and improve their quality of sleep, but considering the limited quality and quantity of studies included, the findings of our study will need to be tested by multicenter and high-quality random controlled trails with large samples, especially its long-term intervention effects.

Objective:To carry out the overview of systematic reviews on effectiveness and safety assessment of pneumatic compression devices (PCD) on preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) .Methods:Systematic reviews or Meta-analysis comparing PCD with other physical prophylaxis and drug prophylaxis were retrieved by computer in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) , China Biological Medicine, WanFang data from building the database to 31st March 2019. Two researchers independently implemented the literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation. The Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool was used to quality assessment of methodology for included literatures. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used to quality evaluation for outcome indexes.Results:Totals of 15 systematic reviews or Meta-analysis were included with 8 in Chinese and 7 in English. There were 11 literatures published after 2012. Quality assessment of methodology showed that 3 literatures met 11 items of AMSTAR, and other researches had the defect existed in different aspects. Evidences with the medium quality displayed the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression devices in VTE prevention which could reduce the incidence of adverse events caused by separate drug prophylaxis, such as bleeding, through combining with drug prophylaxis. Application of intermittent pneumatic compression devices for VTE prevention should be based on clinical guidelines. At present, there was limited evidence guiding selection of specific device and device type.Conclusions:Intermittent pneumatic compression devices are safe and effective in VTE prevention which still needs to be demonstrated by researches with the large sample and high of quality.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for the use of ankle pump exercises in preventing perioperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery and to evaluate its clinical application.Methods:This study utilized an evidence-based continuous quality improvement model. A systematic search was conducted for relevant clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from both domestic and international sources. The best evidence was evaluated and summarized, and audit indicators were developed for baseline assessments. Facilitating and hindering factors were analyzed based on the baseline results. From December 2022 to April 2023, the evidence was applied in the Department of Orthopedics at Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The pre-evidence group for baseline assessments included 36 joint replacement patients and 18 nurses from the orthopedic unit between December 2022 and January 2023, while the post-evidence group included 36 joint replacement patients and the same 18 nurses between March and April 2023. The knowledge level of nurses, the effectiveness of ankle pump exercises, the execution rate, and patient compliance were compared before and after evidence-based practice.Results:A total of 12 articles were included in the study, comprising one clinical practice guideline, five expert consensus papers, one systematic review, and five RCTs. Ten best practices were summarized in terms of applicable populations, exercise assessment, exercise positions, timing, methods, frequency, and patient education. After implementing evidence-based practice, the knowledge scores of nurses on ankle pump exercises significantly improved from (70.56±9.98) to (82.78±8.26) ( P<0.01). The compliance rates of audit items 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 among nurses increased from 0, 22.2%, 0, 27.8%, and 11.1% respectively, to 94.4%, 94.4%, 83.3%, 100.0%, and 100.0% respectively ( P<0.01). On the patient side, the compliance rates for audit items 7 and 8 increased from 5.6% and 0 to 86.1% and 94.4%, respectively ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Implementing evidence-based ankle pump exercises to prevent DVT in joint replacement patients can significantly improve nurses' knowledge of evidence-based practice, standardize the practice of ankle pump exercises, and explore balanced educational strategies that enhance patient compliance, ensuring clinical practices are evidence-based.
