哈尔滨市综合医院手术室病人安全管理现状与对策研究

采用随机抽样的方法,在哈尔滨市随机抽取5家三级、5家二级综合医院的手术室进行病人安全管理现状调查。从手术室护理人员构成、人员培训、规制、布局流程、设备配置、病人辨识、消毒灭菌、医护配合8个方面全面分析了目标医院在手术室病人安全管理方面存在的问题,并提出改进对策,旨在改善手术室管理现状,保障手术室病人安全。     

长期住院老年患者感染的鲍曼不动杆菌耐药性分析

为了解复旦大学附属华东医院长期住院老年患者感染的鲍曼不动杆菌的耐药性特征,本研究收集了2011年9月~2012年8月临床分离自老年病区长期住院患者的52株鲍曼不动杆菌,分析菌株的耐药性、产酶类型、生物膜形成能力及耐药基因的携带情况。结果显示,菌株主要分布在呼吸重症监护室,分离的标本以痰标本为主,占86.54%。52株鲍曼不动杆菌中,多重耐药菌株最高,占76.92%。对头孢哌酮/舒巴坦耐药率最低,为30.77%,对其余抗菌药物耐药率均在50%以上。产酶阳性率为82.69%,其中产其他水解酶的菌株最多,占63.46%。生物膜形成的检出率为5.77%。6株广泛耐药菌株共检出9种耐药基因。结果提示,从老年病区长期住院患者分离的鲍曼不动杆菌耐药现状严重。因此,医院感染控制应以呼吸重症监护室为重点,同时加强对生物膜阳性菌株所分布病区的耐药性监测和消毒隔离,以预防和控制耐药菌的产生和传播。     

Past and present distributions of southern right whales(Eubalaena australis)

Abstract

During the 19th century, sail whalers hunted right whales throughout the southern oceans north of 50 degrees. This review seeks to document the recovery of southern right whales by comparing the northernmost recent sightings with older sightings that survive “fossilised” in historical records of the sail whaling era. Despite a steady expansion northwards in recent years, the present distribution of right whales is still far short of that recorded by sail whalers over a century ago.

The results of a close follow-up of trainees to gain a good blood collection practice

BackgroundPhlebotomy is one of the most important steps in the preanalytical phase of a clinical laboratory process. In order to decrease phlebotomy errors, this specific procedure should be taught in detail by laboratory organizations. Our study aims to practice the training program on venous blood sampling and observe the close follow-up results.MethodsIn this observational study, 127 students who started their summer internship in Antalya Education and Research Hospital were given a one-day theoretical phlebotomy training in accordance with the Venous Blood Sampling Guidelines. After the theoretical training, phlebotomy applications of 10 students who were working in the field of out-patient blood sampling were observed both with and without their knowledge. A comprehensive checklist related to phlebotomy was created by the trainers in Antalya Education and Research Hospital and the observers answered each question as yes or no. For the statistical analysis, IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used.ResultsAfter the theoretical education, the trainees were observed but no significant difference was found between the first and the second informed observations (p = 0.125). The students were observed three times more in the following week without their knowledge. There was a statistically significant difference between the first and the third unannounced observations (p=0.001).ConclusionsIn order to perform phlebotomy correctly, apart from theoretical education, a close follow-up is necessary too.     

Patient-specific computational haemodynamics: generation of structured and conformal hexahedral meshes from triangulated surfaces of vascular bifurcations

Measuring the blood flow is still limited by current imaging technologies and is generally overcome using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) which, because of the complex geometry of blood vessels, has widely relied on tetrahedral meshes. Hexahedral meshes offer more accurate results with lower-density meshes and faster computation as compared to tetrahedral meshes, but their use is limited by the far more complex mesh generation. We present a robust methodology for conformal and structured hexahedral mesh generation – applicable to complex arterial geometries as bifurcating vessels – starting from triangulated surfaces. Cutting planes are used to slice the lumen surface and to construct longitudinal Bezier splines. Afterwards, an isoparametric transformation is used to map a parametrically defined quadrilateral surface mesh into the vessel volume, resulting in stacks of sections which can then be used for sweeping. Being robust and open source based, this methodology may improve the current standard in patient-specific mesh generation and enhance the reliability of CFD to patient-specific haemodynamics.
