Objective To investigate the correlation between the transport time of preterm infants with respira-tory failure and the clinical outcome. And to determine the transit time in critically ill premature infants. Methods Premature infants in level Ⅱ neonatal ward in Hunan Province Children's Hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2013,admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit requiring respiratory support(invasive and noninvasive),were re-viewed. All the patients were classified into non - standardized transport group and regulate transport group according to respiratory support that infants in the level Ⅱ neonatal ward required. Data on general information,the time of ventilator application,the time of exposure to oxygen,morbidity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD),the cure and improvement rate,length of stay,the total length of stay(length of stay in the local hospital and our hospital),and hospitalization ex-penses were collected. Results Among the 363 infants,there were 107 cases in the non - standardized transport group, and 256 cases in the regulate transport group. The time of ventilator application in the non - standardized transport group was longer than that in regulate transport group[(19. 75 ± 19. 53)d vs(13. 02 ± 12. 64)d,t = 18. 706,P ﹤ 0. 05],the time of exposure to oxygen was longer[(30. 60 ±24. 80)d vs(19. 50 ±19. 24)d,t =6. 883,P ﹤0. 05],the morbidity of BPD was higher[57. 01%(61/ 107 cases)vs 18. 36%(47/ 256 cases),χ2 = 53. 934,P ﹤ 0. 05],but the cure and im-provement rate was lower[70. 10%(75/ 107 cases)vs 83. 20%(213/ 256 cases),χ2 = 7. 912,P ﹤ 0. 05],and the total length of stay was longer[(59. 50 ± 34. 02)d vs(34. 48 ± 23. 69)d,t = 22. 967,P ﹤ 0. 05]than that in the regulate group. But there was no significant difference between the length of stay[(43. 99 ±28. 08)d vs(32. 79 ± 23. 76)d,t =2. 012,P ﹥0. 05]in the non - standardized transport group and regulate transport group,with the hospitalization expenses [(6. 55 ±4. 30)vs(4. 99 ±4. 12)thousands yuan,t =0. 552,P ﹥0. 05]. Conclusions The non - standardized transport group has higher morbidity of BPD,but lower cure or improvement rate,and it has longer length of stay. The 2013 edition of Chinese Neonatal Ward Hierarchical Construction and Management Guide(Proposal)is reasonable,level Ⅱ neonatal ward should be in strict accordance with it to transport regional neonatal.

ObjectiveTo investigate the composition and changing trend of the etiologies of liver failure in Shaanxi Province, China. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 975 patients with liver failure who were hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2008 to December 2017. According to the clinical type of liver failure, the patients were divided into acute liver failure (ALF) group with 115 patients, subacute liver failure (SALF) group with 165 patients, and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) group with 695 patients. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the t-test was used for further comparison between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsDrug was the primary cause of ALF (25.22%, 29/115), followed by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (21.74%, 25/115); HBV infection was the primary cause of SALF (35.15%, 58/165), followed by drug (27.27%, 45/165); HBV infection was the primary cause of ACLF (87.19%, 606/695), followed by alcohol (3.45%, 24/695). The main age distribution of patients with liver failure due to HBV infection, alcohol, and drug was 20-60 years (595/689), 30-40 years (22/32), and 30-70 years (67/89), respectively. There was a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with HBV-related liver failure in the recent 5 years (61.52% vs 81.33%, χ2=45.87, P<0.001), while there were significant increases in the proportion of patients with drug-induced liver failure (13.14% vs 4.44%, χ2=22.10, P<0.001) and alcoholic liver failure (4.76% vs 1.56%, χ2=7.85, P=0005). Further analysis showed that the age of onset of HBV-related liver failure in the recent 5 years was significantly higher than that in the first 5 years (45.3±13.0 vs 42.5±12.9, t=-2.567, P=0.011). ConclusionManagement of chronic HBV infection is still an important link in the control of liver failure, and meanwhile, the prevention and treatment of drug-induced and alcoholic liver diseases should be strengthened. More attention should be paid to the treatment of elderly patients with liver failure.

Objective:To investigate the application effects of nitrous oxide and oxygen mixed inhalation technology on analgesia and sedation during debridement and dressing change in children with moderate or severe burns.Methods:A retrospective non-randomized contemporary controlled study was conducted. From December 2019 to November 2021, 140 burn children with moderate or severe burns, aged 1 to 3 years, who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University. During debridement and dressing change 3 to 14 days after injury, 42 children, including 23 males and 19 females, who received nurse-centered pain management mode and analgesia and sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen mixed inhalation technology were included in nitrous oxide group (the dressing change process using the above-mentioned technology for the first time was selected for the follow-up study). Another 42 children, including 24 males and 18 females, were included in non-nitrous oxide group from 98 children who did not apply analgesia or sedation treatment during dressing change with stratified random sampling (one dressing change process was randomly selected for the follow-up study). The face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability scale and Ramsay sedation scale were used to evaluate the pain intensity and degree of sedation, respectively, at 30 minutes before dressing change (hereinafter referred to as before dressing change), immediately after debridement, and at 30 minutes after finishing dressing change (hereinafter referred to as after dressing change). After dressing change, the self-made satisfaction scale was used to evaluate the satisfaction degree of dressing change surgeons and guardians of children for analgesic effects during dressing change. The duration of dressing change and the healing time of deep partial-thickness burn wounds were recorded. The heart rate and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2) before, during, and after dressing change and the occurrence of adverse events such as nausea and vomiting during dressing change were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, independent sample t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:There were no significant differences in the score of pain intensity and score of sedation degree between children in two groups before and after dressing change ( P>0.05). Immediately after debridement, the score of pain intensity of children in nitrous oxide group was 2.5±0.7, which was significantly lower than 7.6±1.0 in non-nitrous oxide group ( t=-26.69, P<0.05); the score of sedation degree of children in nitrous oxide group was 1.83±0.38, which was significantly higher than 1.21±0.42 in non-nitrous oxide group ( t=7.15, P<0.05). After dressing change, the satisfaction degree scores of dressing change surgeons and guardians of children for analgesic effects during dressing change of children in nitrous oxide group were significantly higher than those in non-nitrous oxide group (with t values of 10.53 and 2.24, respectively, P<0.05). The dressing change duration of children in nitrous oxide group was significantly shorter than that in non-nitrous oxide group ( t=-5.33, P<0.05). The healing time of deep partial-thickness burn wounds in children between the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The heart rate of children in nitrous oxide group was significantly lower than that in non-nitrous oxide group during dressing change ( t=-12.40, P<0.05), while the SpO 2 was significantly higher than that in non-nitrous oxide group ( t=5.98, P<0.05). During dressing change, 2 children had nausea and 1 child had euphoria in nitrous oxide group, while heart rate of all children in non-nitrous oxide group continued to be higher than the normal range. Conclusions:In the process of debridement and dressing change in children with moderate or severe burns, the use of nurse-centered pain management mode and the standardized use of nitrous oxide and oxygen mixed inhalation technology can safely and effectively control pain and sedation.
