ObjectiveTo investigate the status quo of emergency resources in all township hospitals in a county of Aba Autonomous Region. MethodWe set up a uniform electronic version questionnaire between April 15th and 18th, 2015. The leaders of township hospitals filled in their information and uploaded the data including emergency medical services, human resources, medical device and technology application situation. Then, the data were statistically analyzed. ResultsFor these township hospitals, the service population was 2 206.05±846.95, the service radius was (25.5±14.3) km. The number of registered doctors per 1 000 people of resident population was 1.52, the number of registered nurses per 1 000 people of resident population was 0.47, and the number of hospital beds per 1 000 people of resident population was 1.69. The staff in all township hospitals included 74 doctors and 23 nurses. The constitution of positional titles and academic qualifications of doctors and nurses in these township hospitals was not significantly different (P>0.05). All township hospitals had a total of six ambulances, one of which was ambulance for rescue and monitoring, and the others were ordinary ambulances. The devices equipped in the ambulances and hospitals were not sufficient, and most doctors and nurses could only perform surrounding vein puncture, and debridement and suture surgery. They could not recue critically ill patients alone. ConclusionsFor these township hospitals, the service radius is too long, the number of doctors and nurses is too small, and the ability of service is insufficient. In order to meet the demand of emergency resources in ethnic areas as far as possible, we should increase investment and promote medical devices, increase the number of doctors and nurses, improve the personnel structure, and strengthen professional training.

ObjectiveTo use failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to check and improve the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection, and explore the application effect of FMEA in the emergency inspection items.MethodsFMEA was used to sort out the whole process of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection from January 30 to February 21, 2020. By establishing the theme, setting up a team, analyzing the failure mode and potential influencing factors. Then calculate the risk priority number (RPN), formulate preventive measures and implement continuous improvement according to the analysis results.ResultsA total of 2 138 cases were included. After improvement, the number of potential failure modes has been reduced by 2 (17 vs.19); the value of total RPN decreased (3 527.49 vs. 1 858.28). There was significant difference in average RPN before and after improvement [(185.66±74.34) vs. (97.80±37.97); t=6.128, P<0.001].ConclusionsIn the early stage of emergency inspection items, using FMEA can systematically check the risk factors in the process, develop improvement measures. It also can effectively reduce the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection in hospital.
ObjectiveTo evaluate and summarize the perioperative management experience of living related liver transplantation (LRLT). MethodsA retrospective analysis was made in perioperative management of 13 cases undergoing LRLT (15 times operation, including 2 cases of liver retransplantation) in our department from January 2001 to December 2002. ResultsAll the operations were successful. All the 13 donors were followed up regularly, 12 donors were uneventfully recovered after operation and 1 donor suffered from bile leakage due to T tube. The survival rate of recipients, who achieved longterm survival at 2 months to 2 years, was 92.3%(12/13); the survival rate of graft was 86.7%(13/15). One adult recipient with Wilson’s disease died of serious rejection on the 72nd day postoperatively. Two cases suffered from embolism of hepatic artery, one case received reduced size cadaveric liver retransplantation, the other case received liver retransplantation from cadaver, and they both achieved longterm survival after retransplantation. The other complications included: 1 case of serious rejection, 2 cases of ARDS, 6 cases of infection of microbe, 7 cases of serious hydrothorax, 1 cases of leakage of biliary tract, and so on. ConclusionPerfect preoperative management, which composes one of the key parts of LRLT, is critically important for both donor and recipient.
Objective To find a better method of emergency repair of skin and soft tissue defects in the lower leg, ankle and foot. Methods The distally based superficial sural artery flap was designed on the posterior aspect of the leg. From February 2000 to December 2003, 18 patients with skin and soft tissue detects of the lower leg, ankle and foot were treated with island fasciocutaneous flap supplied by superficial sural artery by emergency. The size of the flap ranged form 4 cm× 5 cm to 11 cm×12 cm. Results The flaps survived totally in 16 cases and necrosed partially in 2 cases. After 1-2 year postoperative follow-up, the results were satisfactory except that in 2 flaps. Conclusion The island fasciocutaneous flap supplied by superficial sural artery may provide a useful method for emergency repair of soft tissue defect of the lower limbs.
Objective To evaluate the effects of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) in the treatment of emergent patients, and to summarize our experience. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 160 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Command from January 2010 through December 2013. The patients were divided into an ECABG group (operation underwent on the day diagnosed, n=27, 22 males and 5 females, at age of 70.2±10.2 years) and a conventional group (CABG operation underwent on 5 days after diagnosed, n=133, 104 males and 29 females, at age of 66.3±8.9 years). Results Statistical differences were found between the ECABG group and the conventional group in EuroSCORE (5.8±3.2 versus 3.4±2.1, P=0.001), acute myocardial infarction (33.3% vs. 11.3%, P=0.007), rate of application of IABP (29.6% versus 12.0%, P=0.034), pericardium and mediastinal tube drainage (533.4±132.8 ml versus 414.8±124.3 ml, P=0.018). There was no statistical difference in continuous renal replacement therapy (P=0.677), postoperative sternal wound complication (P=1.000), the length of hospital stay (P=0.589), or 30-day-mortality (P=0.198) between the two groups. We followed up 24 patients(88.89%) for 3-36 months in the ECABG group. One patient occurred angina symptoms at the end of 1 year follow-up. The symptoms disappeared after treatment. The other patients had no symptoms of angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia. Conclusion ECABG as a lifesaving therapy is an effective procedure in the treatment of severe and acute patients. Sufficient preoperative assessment, good myocardial protection, full revascularization, and comprehensive treatment plays an important role in the success of ECABG.
ObjectiveTo explore the methods to improve the success rate of intubation and reduce the intubation time consuming in emergency orotracheal intubation by improving the method of holding laryngoscope. MethodsA total of 146 patients needed orotracheal intubation were randomly divided into a traditional group who was intubated with traditional method of holding laryngoscope and an improved group who was intubated with improved method of holding laryngoscope. The success rate of intubation for the first time, success rate in difficult intubation, intubation time consuming, the incidence of complications by mechanical injury between two groups were compared. ResultsSixty-nine petients received traditional method of holding laryngoscope and 77 petients received improvement method of holding laryngoscope. The success rate for the first time intubation [71(92.2%) vs. 56(81.2%)] and success rate in difficult intubation [13(72.2%) vs. 3(23.1%)] of the improved group were higher than those of the traditional group. The differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The intubation time consuming [(28.3±3.5)s vs. (35.6±4.1)s] and the incidence of complications by mechanical injury [1(1.3%) vs. 6(8.7%)] of the improved group were lower than those of the traditional group with statistical significance (all P < 0.05). ConclusionThe success rate of intubation for the first time and the difficult intubation can be improved effectively, and the intubation time consuming and the incidence of complications by mechanical injury can be reduced effectively by improving the method of holding laryngoscope.
Objective To analyze the proportions of interhospital and intrahospital consultation cases of chief residents in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and summarize the distribution characteristics of endocrine and metabolic diseases in other specialized departments, in order to promote the routine work optimization and the cultivation of specialists in endocrinology and metabolism. Methods A total of 1 299 cases were completed by the chief residents in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism between July 2012 and June 2013. Distribution of departments, composition and distribution of consultation cases were analyzed retrospectively. The characteristics of endocrine and metabolic diseases were summarized, and the difference of endocrine and metabolic consultation demand was compared among different departments . Results Among the 1 299 consultation patients, there were 612 males (47.11%) and 687 females (52.89%) aged between 14 and 96 years averaging at 56.3. There were 747 (57.51%) interhospital consultation cases and 552 (42.49%) intrahospital consultation cases. The most common reason for emergency consultation was stress hyperglycemia in diabetic patients after surgery or trauma, followed by thyroid diseases and electrolyte disturbances. Most consultation applications were from the Emergency Department, and the consultation purpose was mainly blood glucose control. The main consultation purpose of surgical and gynecologic departments was perioperative assessment and treatment adjustment in patients combined with endocrine diseases such as diabetes and thyroid diseases. Meanwhile,the purpose of obstetric consultation was mainly treatment for patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with pregnancy, gestational diabetes treatment and perioperative blood glucose control. Conclusions Clinical consultation work is challenging, which also provides an excellent chance for chief residents to study and review professional knowledge and accumulate clinical experiences. Chief residents should have the knowledge of the proportions and distribution of consultation cases in order to optimize daily work. They should also summarize consultation experiences so as to promote their knowledge of diagnosis and treatment.
Objective To explore the allocation of necessary living goods for the emergency medical rescue teams at Lushan earthquake sites. Methods The living goods requirements of 59 emergency medical rescue members at Lushan earthquake sites were investigated using a questionnaire and then analyzed, in order to provide references for the allocation of necessary living goods for emergency medical rescue teams in future. Results The top five necessary living goods for emergency medical rescue members at earthquake sites were food, drinking water, toilet, communication product, and bedclothe. The needs of bath of the members who stayed longer than 3 days were more than the members who stayed shorter than 3 days, with a significant difference (Plt;0.05). The number of living goods that female members need were more than that male members need (Plt;0.05). Conclusion For improving the work efficiency and quality of life, emergency medical rescue teams need to be equipped with not only the medical supplies, but also necessary living goods based on the length of stay and the ratio between male and female.
