This article addresses the ethical issues of respect for autonomy and informed consent, focusing on how clinicians should deal with these concepts in clinical practice. We first clarify the concept of respect for autonomy and its practical application, as well as informed consent. We then track the origin and development of informed consent both in western countries and in China. Followed by describing several challenges that limit the practice of informed consent, we make our suggestions so as to help clinicians handle the informed consent in daily practice.
目标温度管理是心脏骤停复苏后昏迷患者的重要治疗手段,能够减轻神经系统损伤,改善神经功能预后.我国心脏骤停后的目标温度管理起步较晚,临床医师对其认识不充分,尚未形成规范化的治疗方案.北京大学第三医院急诊科是国内率先开展目标温度管理的单位之一,制定了标准化的实施规范和针对常见并发症的应对策略.本实施规范是本单位多年来的临床经验,分享规范旨在为同行开展目标温度管理提供借鉴.

目的 探究心脏骤停后患者外周血细胞变化与近期预后的相关性.方法 回顾性收集2016年至2019年因心脏骤停就诊于我院急诊科并自主循环恢复(ROSC)患者中符合纳入标准的98例患者人口学、基础疾病、心肺复苏相关信息以及ROSC后即刻(0 h)、8 h、12 h、24 h、48 h、72 h血常规和0 h凝血功能.根据出院是否存活将患者分为存活出院组(n=27)与死亡组(n=71),对外周血细胞指标进行统计分析,观察其与预后的相关性.结果 样本总体白细胞计数在ROSC后8 h达峰[15.2(10.4~22.8)×109/L]后逐渐下降,至72 h仍高于正常值;淋巴细胞绝对数在ROSC后即出现显著下降,至12 h达最低值[0.6(0.5~0.9)×109/L];中性粒细胞绝对数在ROSC后早期即出现显著上升,至72 h[8.9(6.9~12.8)×109/L]仍高于正常水平;血小板计数在ROSC后出现缓慢下降趋势,但均在正常范围,上述变量各时间点与0 h比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).死亡组患者外周血淋巴细胞绝对数较存活出院组更低,且两组患者外周血淋巴细胞绝对数在ROSC后24 h差异有统计学意义[0.7(0.5~0.9)×109/L vs.0.9(0.8~1.2)×109/L,P<0.05];死亡组患者血小板计数在ROSC后8~72 h均低于存活出院组(P<0.05).结论 心脏骤停患者在ROSC后24 h淋巴细胞绝对数降低、8~72 h血小板计数降低,与院内死亡结局相关.
Objective:At present, the postgraduate education of emergency medicine in China mainly relies on the internal medicine system and lacks specialty pertinence. The purpose of this study is to establish a compulsory curriculum system for professional postgraduates of emergency medicine.Methods:Modified Delphi method was used to subscribe questionnaires to experts, and the contents were mainly about medical education management and research of emergency in the affiliated teaching hospitals of Peking University. Microsoft Excel 2016 was used for double entry of questionnaire contents, and SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistics.Results:The panel was consisted of 14 experts in total and two rounds of Delphi questionnaires were completed. The response rate of the two rounds were both 100%. The authority coefficient of experts was > 0.9 and the average score of each evaluation index was 4.07-5.00 points. The coefficient of variation of each index was 0-0.22 and the Kendall coefficient of concordance was 0.07-0.10.Conclusion:As a result, a comprehensive emergency professional postgraduate curriculum system has been established.
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and predictors of outcomein patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) in emergency department(ED).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study on patients with BSI in ED of a tertiary hospital in Beijing in 2018. A total of 141 patients were divided into two groups, based on patient outcome on hospital discharge. Data were collected from electronic medical records including demographics of the patients and characteristics of the blood culture as well as treatment during hospital stay. Multivariable binary logistic regression was then performed to explore the predicting factors associated with unfavorable outcome.Results:The median age of patients was 69 years (IQR 61-81 years) with 88 males (62.4%). There were 115 (81.6%) patients received intensive care, and 47 (33.3%) had septic shock.Univariate analysis revealed that comorbidities, immunosuppression treatment, multi-site infection, central vein catheterization, shock and intensive care were associated with poor prognosis. The most common sources of BSI in ED patients were urinary tract (29.8%), hepatobiliary system (22%) and lower respiratory tract (21.3%); Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common strains. Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that the number of comorbidities, shock and drug-resistant bacteria infection were independent risk factors for unfavorable prognosis in patients with BSI, while the prognosis of BSI from urinary system was relatively good.Conclusions:ED physicians should optimize antibiotics according to the comorbidities, source of infection, severity of disease and risk of drug-resistant bacteria infection aiming to improve the prognosis of patients with BSI.
The novel coronavirus is a newly discovered pathogen in late December 2019, and its source is currently unknown, which can lead to asymptomatic infection, new coronavirus pneumonia or serious complications, such as acute respiratory failure. Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new type of respiratory disease that is currently spreading all over the world and caused by this coronavirus. Its common symptoms are highly similar to those of other viruses, such as fever, cough and dyspnea. There is currently no vaccine or treatment for COVID-19. Everyone is susceptible to infection with this disease, and owing to the long-term use of immunosuppressants, the immunity of kidney transplant recipients is suppressed, and it is more likely to be infected with the disease. At present, its impact on kidney transplant recipients is unclear. This article reports the clinical features and therapeutic course of novel coronavirus infection in a patient after renal transplantation. A 37-year-old female patient who received a kidney transplant 6 months before was diagnosed with novel coronavirus pneumonia. The patient's symptoms (such as fever, chills, dry cough, muscle aches), laboratory tests (such as decreased white blood cell count, elevated liver enzymes and D-dimer, positive viral nucleic acid test), and chest CT (multiple left lower lung plaque ground glass shadow) were similar to those of non-transplanted novel coronavirus pneumonia patients. In terms of treatment, because the immunity of kidney transplant recipients has been suppressed for a long time, it is a very common strategy to suspend the use of immunosuppressive agents. Therefore, the patient immediately discontinued the immunosuppressive agent after admission, so that she could restore immunity against infection in a short time. At the same time, the use of glucocorticoids was also very important. Its immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects played a large role in the treatment process.In addition, prophylactic antibiotics was needed, and nephrotoxic drugs should be used with caution. Finally, following discounting the use of immunosuppressant and a low-dose glucocorticoid-based treatment regimen, COVID-19 in this renal transplant recipient was successfully cured. The cure of this case was of great significance, and this adjuvant nonspecific antiviral therapy could provide a template for the treatment of other such patients.

Now the visiting physicians are usually trained without effective supervision and guidance mechanism.Since 2017,the Emergency Department of Peking University Third Hospital has adopted the training model under tutor system for visiting physicians.Tutors and visiting physicians are matched 1∶1.Personalized training program is made by tutors and visiting physicians depending on the level of the hospital where visiting physicians practice in,educational background,clinical experience,length and the goal of study.The training plan is refined according to the timeline in order to facilitate the tutor and training physician's own precise management.Since implementation of this training model,the visiting physicians say they are more efficient to complete the training program and learned more than before.The teaching ability of tutors has further been enhanced.
Tracheal intubation is one of the most important emergency techniques, and it is a key and difficult point in advanced life support training for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Our treatment is trying to combine standard video with visual laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation teaching. Firstly, the students watch the standard video. Then, the teacher shows how to perform a tracheal intubation by visual laryngo-scope. Finally, the students practice the intubation process on the simulation device. In this way, the teach-ing process is more intuitive, easier to be mastered, more normalized and repeatable. This method is worth to be promoted.
