Objective To explore the influence of non-drug bundle of care on incidence rate of VAP. Methods Prospective analysis was performed on patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU from January 2015 to December 2016. The patients were assessed daily, monitored for target, and divided into infected group and non-infected group according to incidence of VAP. Relationship between incidence of VAP and measures taken in non-drug bundle of care, with all data statistically analyzed by SPSS 19.0 for windows. Results A total of 1 326 cases were collected in this study, with 109 infected cases and 1 217 non-infected cases. It was shown in related single factor analysis that factors influencing incidence of VAP included mode of tracheal intubation (whether with subglottic secretion drainage or not), severity of clinical conditions of the patients (APACHEⅡ score >18 points), time of mechanical ventilation (>7 days), hand sanitation, the patients' compliance to operations like elevation of bed head (>30°), oral care, assessment of tracheotomy cuff pressure, monitoring of gastric residual volume, timely dumping of condensed water, and unobstructed subglottic secretion drainage (P< 0.05). It was shown in Logistic regression analysis that mechanical ventilation time was an independent factor affecting incidence of VAP (OR=30.536, P<0.01). Conclusions According to non-drug bundle of care strategies, daily evaluation should be conducted. Early off-machine and early extubation can reduce incidence of VAP.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of coping styles in Crohn's disease patients and its related influencing factors.Methods:A total of 80 patients with Crohn's disease admitted to our hospital from Apri 2021 to Dec 2022 were selected to evaluate their coping styles with a simple coping style questionnaire,and relevant data were collected.The factors affecting the coping styles of Crohn's disease were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression.Results:Among the 80 patients,29 cases were negative coping,the incidence was 36.25% .There were 51 patients with positive coping(63.75% ).Educational level,simplified Crohn's disease activity index(CDAI)score,adverse psychology,social support and type D personality were associated with negative coping(P＜0.05).Gender,age,family history,working status,monthly family income,place of residence,and marital status were not associated with negative coping in patients with Crohn's disease(P＞0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that education level of high school or below(OR=2.945,95% CI:1.139-7.614),higher CDAI score(OR=11.999,95% CI:4.387-32.815),poor psychology(OR=5.950,95% CI:2.180-16.239),low social support(OR=3.598,95% CI:1.370-9.448)and type D personality(OR=3.208,95% CI:1.118-8.904)were risk factors for negative coping in patients with Crohn's disease(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The incidence of negative coping in patients with Crohn's disease is higher,which is related to high school education or below,high CDAI score,poor psychology,low social support,and type D personality.Therefore,clinical measures can be taken to promote patients to actively cope with the disease.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of three cases with infant botulism.

METHODClinical data of three clinically diagnosed cases with infant botulism in May 2015 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Literature search at databases of PubMed, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP with the key words"infant AND botulism". The date of literature retrieval was from the database founding to November 2015. The characteristics of infant botulism were summarized through review of literature.

RESULTThree patients were infants of 4-8 months of age, and all had acute onsets of anorexia and poor response. All of them had normal psychomotor development previously, and without clear history of exposure to poisons. The main findings on physical examination were reduced muscle strength and hypotonia, dullness or disappeared pupillary light reflex, reduced facial expression, weak crying and dysphagia. Unexpectedly their states of consciousness were relatively normal. Finally, through identification and PCR genotyping of bacteria in stool, 2 cases were confirmed as Clostridium (C.) botulinum type B infection. Totally 446 reports were retrieved from foreign language literature and 52 reports from Chinese literature. More than 3,000 cases of infant botulism cases were reported in the world. Rare cases were reported in China and only 1 case was reported in 2000.

CONCLUSIONMost cases of infant botulism had no clear exposure history. The main clinical manifestations are hypotonia, cranial nerve paralysis, flaccid paralysis, but different patients may have different presentations. Detection of C. Botulinum and its toxin in stool can help to confirm the diagnosis. Infant botulism is relatively rare in China, which may be related to the insufficient understanding and inspection level of the disease. It might be underestimated in China.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy (HFNC) and nasal canal oxygenation (NCO) during breaks off non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and to explore the feasibility of NIV combined with HFNC in the treatment of AECOPD.Methods:From August 2017 to July 2019, AECOPD patients with type Ⅱrespiratory failure (arterial blood gas pH <7.35, PaCO 2 > 50 mmHg) who were treated with NIV were randomly (random number) assigned to the HFNC group and NCO group at 1:1. The HFNC group received HFNC treatment during breaks from NIV and the NCO group received low-flow NCO during the NIV interval. The primary endpoint was the total respiratory support time. The secondary endpoints were endotracheal intubation, duration of NIV treatment and breaks from NIV, length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay and so on. Results:Eighty-two patients were randomly assigned to the HFNC group and the NCO group. After secondary exclusion, 36 patients in the HFNC group and 37 patients in the NCO group were included in the analysis. The total respiratory support time in the HFNC group was significantly shorter than that in the NCO group [(74 ± 18) h vs. (93 ± 20) h, P = 0.042]. The total duration of NIV treatment in the HFNC group was significantly shorter than that in the NCO group [(36 ± 11) h vs. (51 ± 13) h, P=0.014]. There was no significant difference of the mean duration of single break from NIV between the two groups, but durations of break from NIV in the HFNC group were significantly longer than those in the NCO group since the third break from NIV ( P < 0.05). The intubation rates of the HFNC and NCO groups were 13.9% and 18.9%, respectively, with no significant difference ( P=0.562). The length of ICU stay in the HFNC group was (4.3 ± 1.7) days, which was shorter than that in the NCO group [(5.8 ± 2.1) days, P=0.045], but there was no significant difference in the total length of hospital stay between the two groups. Heart rate, respiratory rate, percutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure and dyspnea score during the breaks from NIV in the NCO group were significantly higher than those in the HFNC group, and the comfort score was lower than that in the HFNC group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For AECOPD patients receiving NIV, compared with NCO, HFNC during breaks from NIV can shorten respiratory support time and length of ICU stay, and improve carbon dioxide retention and dyspnea. HFNC is an ideal complement to NIV therapy in AECOPD patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of real-case-based training and examination method in ICU nurses training. Methods A test group of multi-level real-case-based training was established and took the examination of nurses in ICU. The examination included the ability of disease observation and assessment, clinical thinking, application of nursing procedure and so on. The frequency of assessment was divided into three parts:once a month, every three months and every six months. Results After the real-case-based training and examination program, the comprehensive score of ICU nurses at excellent and favorable level were improved. The excellent and favorable rates of the first and the fourth season were 31. 6% and 59. 6%, which had a significant difference (χ2 =9. 161,P<0. 05). The nursing quality of the second half of year was significantly improved. There was no case of pressure sore, unplanned extubation, out for inspection. The compliance of hand washing and bed raise was improved. The incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia, catheter related bloodstream infection and urinary tract infection was decreased. The nurse training examination, education level and learning atmosphere were significantly improved (P <0. 05). Conclusions The real-case-based training and examination model can effectively improve the ICU nurses′ clinical nursing competency, and it also can promote the enthusiasm and the quality of nursing.
