1.Allocation of nurses according to actual nursing workload measured by nursing time
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(20):16-18
Objective We aimed to provide references for nurses allocation by selecting the nursing items and measuring nursing time. Methods We recorded the nursing workload of 130 nurses in 10 wards within one week by literature review, Delphi method and questionnaire investigation. Results Totally 125 items of nursing items were included,101 of which were direct nursing items and 24 of which were indirect ones.The average time per day per patient was 185.1 minutes for level one nursing,95.4 minutes for level two nursing, 58.5 minutes for level three nursing.Average nursing time per day,working time per day per nurse and nursing time per day for per patient in each unit had statistical difference,P<0.05.The time for direct nursing items was 64.13% and for indirect nursing items was 35.87%. Conclusions Allocation of nurses according to measurement of nursing time could reach the aim of reasonable allocation and effective utilization of nursing human resource.

Objective To investigate the ultrasound measured inferior vena cava (IVC) caliber used as an objective indicator to assess water retention of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods A total of 72 consecutive patients with acute heart failure admitted in the emergency department between December 2013 and April 2014 were enrolled.Acute heart failure was defined by the presence of symptoms such as asthmatic embarrassment and nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea with or without signs of tracheobronchchial rale and edema of lower limbs,and by objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction as well,either a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45% or the combination of both left atrium dilation (≥ 4 cm diameter in the parasternal long axis) and a plasma concentration of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) > 450 pg/mL (patients under 50 years old) or > 900 pg/mL (patients over 50 years old and under 75 years old) or > 1800 pg/mL (patients over 75 years old) or > 1200 pg/mL (patients with renal dysfunction,glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min).Exclusion criteria were chronic hepatic disease and acute myocardial infarction.Another 22 patients were enrolled as control.Independent t tests were used to compare normally distributed continuous variables between two groups,while nonparametric tests were used to compare non-normally distributed continuous ones,and chi-squared tests were used for categorical variables.The relations between IVC inner diameter and other normally distributed variables were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficients.A 2-sided P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The congestion score and IVC inner diameter were significantly higher in patients with AHF (P < 0.05 ; P < 0.01).The IVC inner diameter was correlated with NT-proBNP concentration (r =0.339,P =0.01 3) and congestion score (r =0.431,P =0.002).There was no relation between IVC inner diameter and LVEF (r =-0.241,P =0.102).IVC inner diameter had significantly positive correlations with pulmonary artery pressure and tricuspid regurgitation (r =0.414,P =0.004 ; r =0.359,P =0.015).Creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,and bilirubin were independently associated with increasing IVC inner diameter (r =0.313,P =0.032 ; r =0.379,P =0.009 ; r =0.385,P =0.007),while IVC inner diameter had negative relation with glomerular filtration rate (r =-0.337,P =0.021).Conclusions The IVC inner diameter can be used as a measurable and objective indicator to estimate the magnitude of access water retention in patients with AHF.

Objective To standardize the detection procedure and improve the detection ability through the capability evaluation of transfusion compatibility tests for blood transfusion departments in Dalian .Methods Both on‐site inspection and external quality assessment(EQA) were used .The items of on‐site inspection consisted of equipments ,reagents ,tests ,operating instructions and re‐cords .EQA included ABO grouping ,Rh(D) grouping ,antibody screening and crossmatching .Results 42 of 62 blood transfusion departments were qualified .Only one was unqualified in on‐site inspection because antibody screening were not carried out .The un‐qualified ratio of second‐class hospitals′ EQA was the highest (42 .3% ) .The coincidence rates of antibody screening and crossmatching were 82 .0% and 77 .4% respectively ,while those of ABO grouping and Rh(D) grouping was 100 .0% .Conclusion Relatively fixed staffing in laboratories and continual training was important for the improvement of transfusion compatibility tests .

Objective: To observe the anemia situation and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia ( IDA) treated with polysaccharide iron complex. Methods:Totally 102 patients with IDA were randomly divided into the control group (51 cases) and the study group (51 cases). The control group was treated with iron dextran tablets orally, and the study group re-ceived polysaccharide iron complex. The improvement of anemia and the pregnancy outcome were compared, and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results:After the treatment, hemoglobin ( Hb) , serum iron ( SI) , serum ferritin ( SF) and serum transferrin receptor ( sTfR) at 24-week pregnancy and before the delivery, the red cell count ( RBC) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin ( MCH) before the delivery in the study group were all better than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups was similar. Conclusion:Polysaccharide iron complex can improve anemia status of pregnant women with IDA, which is worthy of widely clinical use.

Objective To explore the change of opioid peptide content such as ?-endorphin(?-EP), dynorphinA_ 1-13(DynA_ 1-13) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and the interference effect of Naloxone on them.Methods 60 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into Naloxone-treated group and control group. Conventional treatment was used in both groups, then Naloxone-treated group intravenous drip of Naloxone, each 3.0 mg, once a day, for 14 d. The concentrations of ?-EP, DynA_ 1-13 of the patients were measured with radioimmunoassay (RIA) during the acute stage before treatment and at 7th, 14th day after treatment compared with those of normal group (the normal people and the patients were treated by operations). Changes of ?-EP and DynA_ 1-13 in bleeding part and amount of bleeding were analyzed. The scores of GCS and NDS before and after treatment were examined at the same time.Results (1) The content of ?-EP, DynA_ 1-13 in plasma and CSF of patients with cerebral hemorrhage were obviously higher since acute stage than those of the normal group(all P
