Critical care medicine-related treatment is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional process,often leading to secondary or concomitant mental disorders in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the pharmacological treatment of related mental illnesses in China.The Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine collaborated with the Critical Care Medicine expert group to form a consensus writing expert group.After a systematic review of relevant literature,summarizing published domestic and foreign literature,and extensive discussions,the consensus was developed.The consensus elaborates on the principles and processes of the standardized use of psychotropic drugs in critical care medicine,as well as the clinical indications,precautions,and specific drug selection of various psychiatric medications,providing feasible suggestions and guidance for the clinical application of psychiatric medications in the intensive care unit.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative sarcopenia and severe pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.Methods:Elderly patients undergoing elective open heart surgery in our hospital were collected and divided into non-sarcopenia group and sarcopenia group, according to the diagnostic criteria updated and revised by the Asian Sarcopenia Working Group in 2019. The outcome measure was the development of severe postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The general information of patients and various indexes of surgical conditions were recorded. Risk factors for severe PPCs were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The accuracy of sarcopenia score, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status classification, and combination of ASA Physical Status classification and sarcopenia score in predicting severe PPCs was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 158 patients were finally enrolled, including 36 patients with sarcopenia (22.7%), and the incidence of severe PPCs was 22.2%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ASA classification, sarcopenia, and duration of surgery were independent risk factors for severe PPCs after cardiac surgery in elderly patients ( P<0.05), and the risk of severe PPCs was approximately 3.21 times higher in sarcopenic patients than in non-sarcopenic patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of sarcopenia score, ASA Physical Status classification, and ASA Physical Status classification combined with sarcopenia score in predicting severe PPCs were 0.686 (95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.607-0.757), 0.603 (95% CI 0.522-0.680), and 0.714 (95% CI 0.637-0.783), respectively. Conclusions:Preoperative sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for severe PPCs after cardiac surgery in elderly patients, and the preoperative sarcopenia in combination with ASA Physical Status classification in predicting severe PPCs has a certain accuracy.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of preoperative frailty for pulmonary com-plications(PPCs)after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.Methods A total of 162 elderly patients,109 males and 53 females,aged 65-83 years,BMI 18-36 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ-Ⅳ,underwent elec-tive open heart surgery from July 2022 to January 2023 were collected.The patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of PPCs:the PPCs group(n=57)and the non-PPCs group(n=105).General information,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,EuroSCORE Ⅱ,frailty,chronic comorbidities(hypertension,diabetes mellitus,myocardial infarction,pulmonary hypertension,chronic ob-structive pulmonary disease,sleep apnea syndrome,etc.),Hb,creatinine,albumin,pulmonary function indices,left ventricular ejection fraction,type of surgery,duration of surgery,aortic clamping time,and cardiopulmonary bypass time were collected.Factors with P＜0.2 and clinically significant in the univariate regression analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis,and the predictive efficacy of the Fried frailty scale and EuroSCORE Ⅱ for PPCs were compared by the area under the ROC curve(AUC).Results PPCs occurred in 57 patients(35.2％).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that frailty(OR=3.14,95％CI 1.05-9.37,P＜0.05)and EuroSCORE Ⅱ(OR=2.16,95％CI 1.01-4.60,P＜0.05)were risk factors for the development of PPCs.The predictive power of Fried frailty scale(AUC=0.76,95％CI 0.68-0.82)was significantly higher than that of EuroSCORE Ⅱ(AUC=0.65,95％CI 0.57-0.72)(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preoperative frailty is the independent risk factors for pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery in elderly patients,and the Fried frailty scale has a better predictive efficacy compared to EuroSCORE Ⅱ,a traditional risk predictor.

Objective To study the effects of integrated orthopedic rehabilitation pathway on motor function in six months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including pain, stiffness, range of motion and muscle strength, etc. Methods From March, 2016 to March, 2019, 180 patients who underwent TKA and treated with integrated orthopedic rehabilitation pathway were enrolled. Age, gender, operation time, time of follow-up, the scores of Hospital for Special Surgery-Knee Scale (HSS-KS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) at preoperative/postoperative/one-month after operation/three-month after operation/six-month after operation time points were collected. The sub items, such as muscle strength, range of motion, flexion deformity, pain, stiffness, functional difficulty were primarily focused on. Results A total of 42 patients were followed up for three months and 22 patients were followed up for six months. There was no significant difference in the scores of HSS-KS and WOMAC before and after operation (P > 0.05). Within three months after operation, the HSS-KS scores gradually increased (P < 0.05) and the WOMAC scores gradually decreased (P < 0.05). The active knee flexion range of motion and knee extensor muscle strength scores of HSS-KS significantly decreased after operation (P < 0.05), and gradually recovered one month and three months after operation (P < 0.05). The flexion deformity scores of HSS-KS increased after operation (P < 0.05), decreased one month after operation (P < 0.05), and got a trend of incensement again three months after operation. The pain score of WOMAC decreased continuously within three months after operation (P < 0.05); the stiffness score of WOMAC did not change after operation (P > 0.05), decreased significantly one month after operation (P < 0.05), and did not change three months after operation (P > 0.05). The degree of functional difficulty of WOMAC decreased after operation (P < 0.05), and improved continuously within six months after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusion The overall function after TKA shows a trend of improvement within three months, and there is no obvious improvement from three to six months after operation. The flexion deformity score showed a downward trend in one month after operation, and it could be improved again after strengthening rehabilitation, which needs more attention in the postoperative rehabilitation.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA) is an important surgical technique for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis, which has high requirement for the position and angle of the prosthesis. The application of three-dimensional(3D) printed in UKA reflects several characteristics such as accuracy,efficiency and safety,but the current research results show that there is still lack of consistency in the design of 3D printed guides and the standard of prosthetic position parameters. This article reviews the history, manufacturing requirements and process of 3D printed guides during UKA surgery, as well as the results of current clinical research. Whether 3D printed guides can safely and effectively improve the placement accuracy of inexperienced doctors during UKA surgery,and whether the long-term results are worthy of clinical promotion need further verification.

Objective:To explore the influence of lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration on the treatment of anteromedial osteoarthritis of knee joint by Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Methods:The clinical data of 73 patients (73 knees) with knee osteoarthritis underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2016 to December 2017 were analysed respectively.There were 18 males and 55 females, aged (68.6±7.5) years(range: 53 to 89 years).The lateral patellofemoral joints of patients were evaluated by Ahlback grading system. Patients with Ahlback 0 andⅠ were in the non degenerative group (37 cases), and those with Ahlback Ⅱ and above were in the degenerative group (36 cases). Hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, as well as the condition of kneeling, sit to stand movement, up stair and down stair were recorded. The data before and after operation were compared by paired sample t test, and the data between groups were compared by independent sample t test. χ 2 test was used for counting data. Pearson correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between ahlback score, HSS and WOMAC osteoarthritis index. Results:The follow-up time was (35.1±6.6) months (range: 25 to 47 months).The knee function of the patients improved significantly after operation.The HSS score increased from 57.7±11.8 preoperative to 81.8±7.8 postoperative ( t=16.64, P=0.00) and WOMAC osteoarthritis index decreased from 48.9±13.4 preoperative to 15.6±8.8 postoperative ( t=20.48, P=0.00). There was no statistical difference in the change of HSS between the degenerative group and the non-degenerative group before and after surgery(27.5±12.2 vs. 22.5±12.3, t=-1.65, P=0.10) as well as the change of WOMAC osteoarthritis index(31.8±14.0 vs. 36.4±13.7, t=-1.35, P=0.18), but the lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration was related to inability to complete squats (χ 2=5.17, P=0.04) and sitting up (χ 2=7.22, P=0.01). Conclusion:The degeneration of lateral patellofemoral joint has no effect on the early functional recovery of patients with anteromedial knee osteoarthritis after Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
