Objective To discuss the frequency of ventilator pipe replacement in ICU ward for reducing the frequency of VAP occurrence caused by bacterial colonization in ventilator-line. Methods 30 patients hospitalized to ICU ward from Janurary,2008 to June, 2009 who had mechanical-ventilation above 48h were randomly divided into group A, B and C with 30 patients in each group, then bacteria culture and strain analysis were employed for the pipeline sample of ventilator inspiratory side at the time point to be use and used mechanical ventilation for 1 day, 3 days and 7 days. Results There was no bacteria grew after ventilator-line sterilization, and positive ratio of bacterial culture in 1d, 3d and 7d were 46.66%,53.33% and 100.00%, respectively. Conclusions The frequency of ventilator pipe replacement should be shortened in patients with abdominal infection, to replace every 3 days is suitable in ICU where infectious patients gathered.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of hypoglycemia in patients undergoing colonoscopy and to construct a risk prediction model and evaluate the model.Methods A total of 528 patients who underwent colonoscopy were selected by the convenience sampling method from the gastroenterology department of a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from March 2022 to August 2022.Their general information,laboratory indicators and operation-related data were collected.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of hypoglycemia in patients with colonoscopy for risk prediction model construction,and its prediction effect was evaluated by drawing a nomogram.Results Hypoglycemia occurred in 66 of 528 patients,with an incidence of 12.50%.The risk factors finally in the risk prediction model in Logistic regression were drinking history,long fasting time after operation,polyethylene glycol(PEG)-electrolyte solutions>3 L,low quality of bowel preparation.The model passed Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test x2=10.158(P=0.200).The area under the ROC curve was 0.829,while the cut-off was 0.575,with sensitivity of 92.90%and specificity of 64.60%.Conclusion Patients undergoing colonoscopy have a higher risk of hypoglycemia.Patients with a history of drinking,longer fasting after surgery,more than 3 L of PEG-electrolyte solutions,and low quality of bowel preparation were more likely to develop hypoglycemia.The established risk prediction model has a good effect,providing the reference for screening high-risk group of hypoglycemia and taking preventive and protective measures.

Objective To explore the effect of target monitoring and intervention combination strategies on prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Methods Target monitoring and intervention combination strategies were implemented in patients with central venous catheters in ICU since January 2015.372 patients with central venous catheters in 2014 were selected as the control group,and 426 patients who received target monitoring and intervention combination strategy were taken as the intervention group.The incidence rates of CRBSI in two groups were compared.Results There were 5 cases of infection in the intervention group,and the incidence rate of infection was 1.17%;there were 13 cases of infection in the control group,and the incidence rate of infection was 3.49% (x2=13.38,P<0.05).The incidence rate of CRBSI in the intervention group was 1.41‰,while it was 4.17‰ in the control group (x2 =8.94,P< 0.05).Conclusions Target monitoring and intervention combination strategies can significantly reduce the incidence of CRBSI in patients with central venous catheters in ICU.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for hypoglycemia in elderly patients during peri-colonoscopy, construct and validate a risk prediction model.Methods:The factors influencing hypoglycemia in elderly patients during the peri-colonoscopy period were identified through a literature review and semi-structured interviews. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, the survey questionnaire was determined. From January to September 2023, convenience sampling was used to select elderly patients who underwent colonoscopy in the Department of Gastroenterology at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University as participants for a questionnaire survey. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression was used to explore the influencing factors of hypoglycemia in elderly patients during the peri-colonoscopy period, and a nomogram model of hypoglycemia risk in elderly patients during the peri-colonoscopy period was drawn. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ( AUC) of the subjects and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test were used to evaluate the model's predictive performance. The clinical decision curve of DCA was implemented to evaluate the model's clinical benefit ability. Results:A total of 558 questionnaires were distributed (392 for the modeling group and 166 for the validation group) and 558 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 100.00%. Among 558 elderly patients, a total of 130 cases (89 in the modeling group and 41 in the validation group) experienced hypoglycemia during the peri-colonoscopy period, with an incidence of 23.30%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum albumin, age, previous hypoglycemia frequency, insulin use, fasting time, and nutritional risk were independent influencing factors (all P<0.05). The AUCs of the modeling and validation groups were 0.933 and 0.899, respectively. Hosmer Lemeshow test showed that the model had good calibration accuracy, and the DCA curve indicated that the model had good clinical effectiveness. Conclusions:The nomogram model has good predictive performance and can intuitively and concisely predict the risk of hypoglycemia in elderly patients during the peri-colonoscopy period, providing reference for medical and nursing staff.
