This research provides an overview of the perioperative nursing care for a patient with a massive renal cell carcinoma and Mayo Stage Ⅲ tumor thrombus who underwent a robot-assisted nephrectomy complicated by sig-nificant intraoperative bleeding and CO2 embolism.Key nursing considerations included multidisciplinary preoperative discussions,developing stepwise intraoperative emergency plans,establishing an integrated nursing workstation,and the optimization of patient monitoring.During the surgery,nursing efforts were focused on supporting the robot-as-sisted procedure,closely monitoring the patient's condition,preventing intraoperative complications,initiating emergency plans as needed,actively managing major bleeding and CO2 embolism,and implementing structured positioning to minimize the risk of falls during the procedure.Postoperatively,the focus was on preventing secondary thrombus formation,managing active bleeding,and monitoring for liver and kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury.Through multi-disciplinary interventions and meticulous nursing care,the patient was discharged after a 13-day postoperative recovery.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) modeling methods based on ultrasound imaging data for normal and abnormal fetal cardiac structures, and to construct a methodology system for 3D printing of fetal heart based on ultrasound.Methods:A total of 93 fetuses examined in Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January to December 2019 were selected. Fetal echocardiography was obtained using spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC). Ninety-three hearts were 3D modeled by blood flow modeling, blood pool modeling and cavity modeling, and printed by stereolithography technique. The data measured on the 3D digital models and 3D printed solid models were compared with the corresponding fetal echocardiographic images respectively in order to evaluate the accuracy of the modeling methods.Results:The fetal cardiac blood flow models based on Doppler flow image data showed the malformation and trend of small blood vessels. The fetal cardiac structure models printed based on blood pool modeling displayed the malformation of heart and large blood vessels. Models printed based on cavity modeling method accurately displayed valve and structural defects.For 83 normal fetal hearts, the long diameters of left and right ventricles measured on echocardiography [(15.3±1.9)mm, (13.2±1.9)mm] were compared with those measured on digital models [(15.1±1.9)mm, (12.9±1.9)mm] and 3D printed models[(15.1±1.9)mm, (13.0±1.9)mm], respectively, and there were no significant differences between any two groups of them ( P>0.05). Bland-Altman showed good consistency for all measurements within and between operators. Conclusions:The three modeling methods, including blood flow modeling, blood pool modeling and cavity modeling, have their own advantages in displaying different types of fetal heart malformations. Appropriate modeling methods should be selected for 3D modeling and printing to make up for the limitations of single modeling method. The consistency between measurements on 3D models and those on echocardiography is high, and the repeatability between operators is good.
