急诊手术的职业暴露及防护对策

目的：通过对医务人员在急诊手术中职业暴露的情况调查,了解急诊手术中标准预防现状,提出合理化建议和措施。方法：对2007年6月．2010年5月手术患者乙肝、丙肝、梅毒、艾滋病的阳性率进行比较,现场调查急诊手术中防护用品的使用情况。结果：手术患者乙肝、丙肝、梅毒、艾滋病的阳性率逐年上升,职业暴露的危险性越来越大;急诊手术中医务人员防护用品使用率的高低取决于血液、体液、分泌物的污染程度。结论：对医务人员要加强职业安全教育,强化标准预防,提高医务人员的整体防护水平,避免或减少职业暴露的危害,在救死扶伤的同时,保护好自身安全。     

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY AND LIFE. I. EMERGENCY VISITS IN AN ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC

We have analysed the daily number of emergency calls in an orthopaedic clinic for the period 1995–1999 and the corresponding index, Ap, of daily global geomagnetic activity (GMA). We found that both kinds of annual time series represent fractal dynamics as revealed by a Fast Fourier Transform of the series. The time series showed a seasonal, wavelike pattern. The minimum and maximum values of these waves revealed, to a first approximation, a negative correlation between Ap and emergency calls. A change in the average geomagnetic activity from one season to another can be accompanied by up to about a 16% effect on the average number of emergency calls. This suggests that the human organism continuously accumulates small or unnoticeable effects of geomagnetic activity, and the effect is only seen when examined over long periods of time of the order of seasons.

急诊慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期患者预后相关因素分析

目的:探讨急诊收治的慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期患者的预后相关因素。方法:选取我院2008年12月-2013年12月急诊收治的慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期患者94例,根据预后结果分为死亡组17例及存活组77例,回顾分析两组患者的相关资料。结果:存活组较死亡组BMI、血肌酐值、清蛋白、pH值、PaCO2、FT3差异具有统计学意义。死亡组较存活组在APACHEⅡ,CCS,有创通气率及合并肺心病率上差异均具有统计学意义。结果显示合并肺心病率、APACHEⅡ评分、肌酐、清蛋白为影响慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期患者预后的独立因素。结论:急诊收治的慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期患者如合并肺心病率,APACHEⅡ评分较高,血肌酐较高,清蛋白较低,这些因素提示我们患者预后较差,需及早进行相关治疗。     

医院急诊创伤评分的临床应用价值分析

目的:研究分析医院急诊创伤评分(ETS)的临床应用价值,为急诊抢救提供更加合适的临床方案。方法:选择2012年6月至2013年6月在我院急诊抢救的90例患者作为研究对象。以数字法随机分成观察组和对照组,每组各45例。对照组由抢救医师依照患者病史、症状及体征进行急救诊断;观察组则由抢救医师根据ETS评分进行记录判定,辅助其作出急救诊断。统计并对比两组患者急救情况、院内转运时间及抢救时间,分析影响患者抢救成功的危险因素。结果:观察组患者在明确诊断及抢救成功方面的比例均显著高于对照组,但死亡率显著低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。观察组的院内转运时间及抢救时间均显著少于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。Logistic回归分析显示,年龄60岁,未使用ETS评分及合并多处创伤均为影响患者抢救成功的危险因素。结论:ETS评分可较好的判定出急诊创伤患者的伤情,利于抢救治疗,有效增加抢救成功率,值得临床推荐。     

Influence of weather on emergency transport events coded as stroke: population-based study in Japan

Studying the relation between incidence of stroke and weather is difficult because it requires large-scale community-based data collection. Despite the lack of strong evidence that weather conditions influence stroke incidence, many clinicians feel that meteorological conditions influence the onset of stroke. This study examined whether emergency events related to stroke are influenced by meteorological factors and was based on computerized records of emergency medical transport services in a Japanese city during the period January 1992–December 2003. A total of 53,585 patients transported for an event coded as stroke were analyzed in relation to meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Poisson regression analysis was applied to clarify the influence of daily meteorological conditions on the daily incidence of emergency transport due to events coded as stroke. Ordinary least squares regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of weather, defined as the combination of meteorological parameters, on the occurrence of emergency transport due to events coded as stroke. Daily mean ambient temperature and daily mean relative humidity showed a statistically significant negative effect on the incidence of the emergency transport events for both men and women (P<0.001). Daily mean barometric pressure was not significantly related to these events. The occurrence of a holiday was negatively related to the incidence (P<0.001). Dry weather and cool weather were likely to shift the circadian curve of the incidence upward. Thus, occurrence of emergency transport due to events coded as stroke is likely to be associated with weather conditions.     

Magnesium Sulfate in Emergency Department Patients with Hypertension

To compare the effect of IV magnesium with other antihypertensives in emergency department (ED) patients with hypertension. ED patients with a systolic BP > 135 mmHg or diastolic BP > 85 were approached for entry into the study. Those granting consent were randomly placed into one of three treatment groups: (1) 1.5 gm IV MgSO₄ (n = 42), (2) a parenteral or oral antihypertensive agent (n = 41), (3) both IV MgSO₄ and an antihypertensive agent (n = 44). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured at entry into the study and at 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after magnesium or other antihypertensive medications were given. The main outcome measure was blood pressure at 60 min, and results were compared using one-way analysis of variance with the post hoc Tukey HSD test. Compared to systolic and diastolic blood pressures at time 0, both were lower at 15, 30, 45, and 60 min in all groups (p < 0.05). No significant difference in systolic or diastolic BP at any time point was observed when response to treatment was compared between the three groups. Intravenous MgSO₄ is as effective as antihypertensives at lowering BP in emergency department patients.

A biometeorology study of climate and heat-related morbidity in Phoenix from 2001 to 2006

Heat waves kill more people in the United States than hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods combined. Recently, international attention focused on the linkages and impacts of human health vulnerability to urban climate when Western Europe experienced over 30,000 excess deaths during the heat waves of the summer of 2003-surpassing the 1995 heat wave in Chicago, Illinois, that killed 739. While Europe dealt with heat waves, in the United States, Phoenix, Arizona, established a new all-time high minimum temperature for the region on July 15, 2003. The low temperature of 35.5 degrees C (96 degrees F) was recorded, breaking the previous all-time high minimum temperature record of 33.8 degrees C (93 degrees F). While an extensive literature on heat-related mortality exists, greater understanding of influences of heat-related morbidity is required due to climate change and rapid urbanization influences. We undertook an analysis of 6 years (2001-2006) of heat-related dispatches through the Phoenix Fire Department regional dispatch center to examine temporal, climatic and other non-spatial influences contributing to high-heat-related medical dispatch events. The findings identified that there were no significant variations in day-of-week dispatch events. The greatest incidence of heat-related medical dispatches occurred between the times of peak solar irradiance and maximum diurnal temperature, and during times of elevated human comfort indices (combined temperature and relative humidity).     

Evaluation of thermal discomfort in Athens territory and its effect on the daily number of recorded patients at hospitals’ emergency rooms

Previous research has shown that temperature and humidity affect human health. However, only a few studies have examined the association of a biometeorological index, which combines several meteorological parameters and human physiology, with health outcomes. The aim of the present study is to assess the thermal discomfort in Athens city by using the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) as well as to examine its association with the number of patients recorded at the emergency rooms of four main hospitals. Patients were selected based on their diagnosis during the summer season (June–August) from 1998 to 2004. Data included hourly values of meteorological parameters and daily numbers of patients who visited the emergency units of cardiology departments. Poisson regression models were applied using generalized estimating equations. A strong negative correlation between mean and maximum daily values of PMV and the number of emergency department visits was identified. More studies are needed to explore the association of this biometeorological index with health outcomes in other regions.
