ECMO treatment for critically ill patients mostly requires family members to make surrogate decisions. However, the process and experience of family members’ participation in decision making have not been well described. To explore the experience of family members of critically ill patients who were asked to consent to ECMO treatment and to gain insight into the factors that promote and hinder their decision-making. A descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview method and analysed using traditional content analysis approaches. The cohort included nineteen family members of critically ill ICU patients from a general hospital in China. Eleven family members consented to ECMO treatment, and 8 refused. 4 themes and 10 subthemes emerged: (1) tough choices: the dilemma in the emergency situation, the guilt and remorse after giving up; (2) rationalisation of decision-making: ethics and morality guide decision-making, expected efficacy influences decision making, and past experience promotes decision making; (3) decision-making methods: independent decision-making, group decision-making, decision making based on patient preferences; (4) influencing factors of decision making: information and communication, social support. The findings provide insights and a basis for promoting efficient ECMO decision-making in clinical practice. It may be difficult to improve the time it takes to make the decision without sacrificing the quality of the decision. Healthcare professionals should provide timely emotional support, informational support, and comprehensive social support to assist them in making efficient decisions while respecting the treatment preferences of the decision-makers.
Background The success of hair transplantation surgeries for androgenetic alopecia is evaluated by postoperative long-term outcomes. Patients' self-management during the long recovery period affects this outcome. Objective This study aimed to explore patients' self-management status, facilitators, and impediments in the postoperative period and to provide a reference for developing a postoperative self-management intervention program. Methods Patients who underwent hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia were selected using purposive sampling. They were interviewed using one-to-one semi-structured interviews at a general tertiary hospital in Hangzhou from March to April 2022. Qualitative research analysis software Nvivo 12.0 was used to analyze the collected data. Results The self-management of postoperative patients with androgenetic alopecia during the recovery period encompasses six areas: more problems with postoperative medication (e.g., not being able to take medication on time) and wound care (e.g., not daring to shampoo, etc.), not being able to review their postoperative condition on time (due to busy schedules at work and at home), more hindrances to the establishment of good living habits (affected by overtime work, socialising, and bad habits of the people around them), and seeking positive ways of relieving bad emotions (stress, anxiety, depression, etc.), worrying about one's image during recovery and taking the initiative to obtain and use resources to promote recovery (through the Internet, books, etc.) Conclusions Various factors impact the postoperative self-management abilities of patients, including medication, shampooing, and emotions. It is essential to design support programs to enhance these abilities and improve long-term hair transplantation outcomes.
Deep venipuncture catheterization is a routine and basic operation in the treatment of critically ill patients, and it is the most effective way to quickly correct the shock. Clinical B-ultrasound guided deep vein catheters can improve the success rate of puncture, but in the process of operation, the short axis needs to be replaced by the long axis. In the replacement process, the stability of the novice is insufficient, the positioning is difficult, and the operation time is too long. If only short axis puncture is used, it is impossible to know whether the current position of the puncture needle, and the puncture may be too deep and stray into the artery. The accuracy of the 45 degree angle of the injection point requires a very experienced operator. In view of the above shortcomings, doctors in the department of critical care medicine of Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine designed a B-ultrasound puncture equipment, which has obtained the National Invention Patent of China (ZL 2016 1 0571557.X). The device is composed of B-ultrasound probe fixing frame, sliding scale plate, simulation slide rule, puncture needle, sliding device. By sliding device the angle of the pinhole channel, it is conducive to the accurate positioning of the puncture target, optimizing the operation procedure, improving the puncture speed and accuracy, effectively reducing the occurrence of puncture complications, ensuring patient safety, reducing unnecessary waste of human and material resources. It can reduce the workload of medical staff and is worthy of clinical practice.
BACKGROUND:Return to work (RTW) is a critical component of rehabilitation for most young and middle-aged patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Its success is related to the quality of life and social psychological function of patients, and their social economic growth. However, healthcare professionals often do not deeply understand the patients' experience and their difficulties and coping methods during this process, which limits their ability to institute effective management and support. OBJECTIVE:In this study, we aimed to explore the lived experiences and change processes of young and middle-aged patients with AMI at the different stages of RTW. METHODS:A descriptive qualitative approach was used. Patients aged 20 to 59 years with AMI were recruited from the Department of Cardiology of 3 general hospitals. Data were collected via semistructured interviews. Data analysis was performed by conventional content analysis methods. RESULTS:In total, 18 participants were included. Five main themes emerged: (1) "chaos," (2) "rebuilding," (3) "conflict," (4) "coping," and (5) "benefits." Patients may be more concerned about physical recovery during the initial clinical event. They then begin to plan and adjust for an RTW. Patients in the maintenance phase need strategies to prevent, identify, and respond to conflicts and challenges to maintain long-term stable work. CONCLUSION:We identified several post-AMI stages spanning from the initial illness event to the maintenance of stable work. We described their perceived barriers, coping strategies, and support needs at these various stages. These data are crucial for healthcare professionals to develop improved vocational rehabilitation strategies for patients with AMI.

Objective . To explore the efficacy and safety of chlorhexidine oral care in the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by means of meta-analysis. Methods . Randomized controlled trials on the effect of chlorhexidine oral care on the incidence of VAP in patients on mechanical ventilation were searched in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Embase from May 1, 2022. Two researchers independently screened and included the study, extracted the data, and evaluated the literature quality. RevMan5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results . Meta-analysis of 13 included literature studies involving 1533 patients showed that oral care with chlorhexidine solution could reduce the incidence of VAP in patients with mechanical ventilation and the difference was statistically significant (RR = 0.61, 95% CI (0.46, 0.82), P = 0.04). However, the results showed that the incidence of VAP of low concentration (0.02%, 0.12%, and 0.2%) and high concentration (2%) of chlorhexidine in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (RR = 0.70, 95% CI (0.51, 0.96), P = 0.03; RR = 0.41, 95% CI (0.27, 0.62)). There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups (RR = 1.01, 95% CI (0.85, 1.21), P = 0.87). There was no statistical significance in days ventilated or days in ICU between the two groups (RR = −0.02, 95% CI (−0.19, 0.16), P = 0.84; RR = 0.01, 95% CI (−0.11, 0.14), P = 0.85). Conclusion . Existing evidence shows that chlorhexidine used for oral care of patients with mechanical ventilation can reduce the incidence of VAP, and high concentration of chlorhexidine (2%) or low concentration of chlorhexidine (0.02%, 0.12%, 0.2%) has a significant effect on the prevention of VAP. Considering the safety of clinical application, it is recommended to use 0.02%, 0.12%, and 0.2% chlorhexidine solution for oral care.
Objective:A foot cleaning device for bedridden patients in ICU was made, and its application effects in foot cleaning for bedridden patients in ICU was discussed.Methods:A total of 200 inpatients in the department of ICU from April 2021 to October 2021 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table, the patients were divided into two groups, including 100 patients in the control group and 100 patients in the experimental group.The patients in the control group used an ordinary foot basin and dipped warm water by a towel for foot wiping and cleaning. The patients in the experimental group used a foot cleaning device for bedridden patients developed and designed by our hospital. Both groups received warm water foot bath for 20 minutes after cleaning. The incidence of adverse events, average foot washing time, total foot washing time, the subjective comfort and satisfaction of the patients and the satisfaction of the operator were observed.Results:The incidence of adverse events during foot cleaning in the experimental group was 2.00%(28/1 400) lower than 4.36%(61/1 400) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.88, P<0.05). The foot washing time in the observation group [(27.77 ± 1.34) min] was longer than that in the control group [(24.63 ± 2.36) min], the difference was statistically significant ( t=9.30, P<0.05). The total foot washing time in the observation group [(27.77 ± 1.34) min] was shorter than that in the control group [(49.26 ± 4.71)min], the difference was statistically significant ( t=42.51, P<0.05). The subjective comfort of foot cleaning, the satisfaction of foot cleaning of patients and the satisfaction of foot cleaning operators in the experimental group were 91.00 (91/100) , 97.00% (97/100) , 91.67% (55/60) , while the control group were 75.00% (75/100) 、85.00% (85/100) , 75.00% (45/60) , and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( Z=-3.04, -4.82, -2.71, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The self made foot cleaning device for bedridden patients in this study can be used in ICU patients. It can effectively reduce the incidence of adverse events in the process of foot washing and shorten the time of foot washing. It can also improve the comfort and satisfaction of patients, and improve the satisfaction of operators.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU). Although the use of closed sputum suction tube for sputum suction is the most common nursing measure for patients with tracheal intubation in ICU, and it is also an important measure to reduce the occurrence of VAP, the existing clinical technology still needs to use external flushing solution for humidification and flushing. In the process of use, the flushing operation has the risk that the amount of flushing fluid cannot be controlled, resulting in a large amount of flushing fluid entering the patient's airway, causing the patient to suffocate. The sputum attached to the wall of the sputum suction tube cannot be completely flushed, and the prolonged retention of the sputum leads to the proliferation of colonized bacteria, aggravating the infection of patients. Repeated pipe flushing not only increases consumables, but also increases the workload of medical staff. For this reason, the author has designed a fully enclosed sputum suction tube flushing device, which has obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: CN 2019 2 1198740.5). This device is an integrated design, and the materials used for sputum suction, humidification and flushing are fully enclosed, without air exposure, and can be operated strictly without bacteria. Pulse flushing with syringe can clean the sputum attached to the inner wall and reduce the incidence of VAP. The volume of flushing fluid can be effectively controlled during use to ensure patient safety and reduce waste. It is worth popularizing and applying in clinical practice to optimize the operation steps and reduce the workload of medical staff.
