The average blood pressure recorded in the superior vena cava near right atrium represents ‘central venous pressure’ (CVP). Traditionally CVP has been used as an indicator for predicting cardiac preload as well as volume responsiveness in critically ill patients. CVP is chiefly dependent on two factors: venous blood volume (venous return) and venous compliance. CVP is not an independent variable in determining cardiac output. Its relationship with cardiac output varies largely with the dynamic changes in the compliance of vascular compartment. The total blood volume in a venous system exists in two forms: Stressed volume (Vs) and Unstressed volume (Vu). The unstressed volume is equivalent to a basal blood volume that occupies the venous system. The stressed volume is the proportion that is dynamic in nature and affects the venous return and cardiac output. In this article, the basic physiology and applications of CVP as well as its limitations when compared to other dynamic parameters in assessing cardiovascular function are discussed.
右心房附近上腔静脉记录的平均血压代表“中心静脉压”(CVP)。传统上,CVP被用作预测危重患者心脏预负荷和容量反应性的指标。CVP主要取决于两个因素:静脉血容量(静脉回流)和静脉顺应性。CVP不是决定心输出量的自变量。其与心输出量的关系随着血管室顺应性的动态变化而变化很大。静脉系统中的总血容量有两种形式:应力容量(Vs)和非应力体积(Vu)。非应力体积相当于占据静脉系统的基础血容量。应力体积是一种动态的比例,它影响静脉回流和心输出量。本文讨论了CVP的基本生理学和应用,以及与其他动态参数相比在评估心血管功能方面的局限性。

Airway management in critically ill patients is often difficult and is associated with complications. Knowledge of airway anatomy, its change during laryngoscopy and physiology of oxygen transport is essential for predicting difficult airway and in planning the management. Optimal assessment of the airway anatomy to predict difficulty, formulating a plan of action, and an alternate plan, assembling the required equipment and personnel, keeping the difficult airway trolley ready, preparation of the patient by preoxygenation and proper positioning are some of the measures to decrease complications. Adequate training to develop cognitive and procedural skill for managing difficult airway is very important. All physicians involved in airway management should update their skills by involving in simulation excercises and workshops
危重病人的气道管理往往是困难的,并伴有并发症。了解气道解剖、喉镜检查时气道的变化和氧转运的生理学对预测气道困难和制定治疗计划至关重要。对气道解剖结构进行优化评估以预测困难,制定行动计划和备选计划,装配所需设备和人员,准备好困难气道手推车,通过预充氧和适当的体位为患者做准备,这些都是减少并发症的一些措施。充分的训练,以发展认知和程序技能,以管理困难的气道是非常重要的。所有参与气道管理的医生都应该通过参与模拟练习和研讨会来更新他们的技能

Ventilatory failure may result from dysfunction of any part of the respiratory pathway. Muscle weakness preexisting or acquired should be considered in all patients. Case Report: A 52-year-old smoker presented in extremis with type II respiratory failure. She was treated with bronchodilators, steroids and antibiotics. Weaning ventilatory support was difficult and so a tracheostomy was performed.. Two weeks later, she was transferred to a respiratory ward where she was decannulated before discharge home. After discharge, her breathlessness and weakness progressed until she was readmitted in extremis 1 week later. On readmission, she deteriorated despite treatment for COPD. Mandatory ventilation was initiated after recannulation of the tracheostomy. The patient gradually improved over the next few days and was transferred to a respiratory ward where she was weaned onto nocturnal NIV and the tracheostomy was decannulated. Flow volume loops excluded air flow obstruction but spirometry confirmed severe inspiratory muscle weakness. The patient reported progressive weakness over several years. On examination all muscle groups were weak and deep tendon reflexes were absent but there was no fatigability or fasciculation. Sensation was intact. The diagnosis of acid maltase deficiency (AMD) was confirmed by analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes, muscle biopsy and enzyme assay.
呼吸衰竭可由呼吸通路任何部分的功能障碍引起。所有患者均应考虑既往存在或获得性肌无力。病例报告:一名52岁吸烟者表现为II型呼吸衰竭。她接受了支气管扩张剂、类固醇和抗生素治疗。脱机呼吸支持困难,因此进行了气管切开术。两周后,她被转移到呼吸病房,在那里她在出院前拔掉了导管。出院后,患者出现呼吸困难和虚弱,直到1周后再次入院。再次入院时,尽管她接受了慢性阻塞性肺病治疗,但病情恶化。气管切开术后进行强制通气。在接下来的几天里,患者逐渐好转,并被转移到呼吸病房,在那里她戒掉了夜间NIV,并进行了气管切开术。血流循环排除了气流阻塞,但肺活量测定证实了严重的吸气肌无力。病人报告几年来逐渐虚弱。检查时,所有肌群均虚弱,深肌腱反射缺失,但无疲劳或束状。感觉完好无损。通过外周血淋巴细胞分析、肌肉活检和酶测定,确诊为酸性麦芽糖酶缺乏症(AMD)。

Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are a group of disorders characterised by weakness of muscles and may have a slow and progressing alveolar hypoventilation leading to the ventilatory failure. It may necessitate initiation of mechanical ventilation. Noninvasive ventilation is the method of choice. Invasive mechanical ventilation is indicated when noninvasive mechanical ventilation fails. Tracheostomy is the airway of choice for invasive mechanical ventilation. Endotracheal intubation is used only as an emergency airway or when reversible causes of acute respiratory failure are being considered. This article details ventilation in patients with neuromuscular disorders.
神经肌肉疾病(NMD)是一组以肌肉无力为特征的疾病,可能有缓慢和进行性肺泡低通气导致呼吸衰竭。可能需要启动机械通气。无创通气是首选方法。无创机械通气失败时需要进行有创机械通气。气管造口术是有创机械通气的首选气道。气管内插管仅用于紧急气道或当考虑可逆的急性呼吸衰竭原因时。这篇文章详细介绍了神经肌肉疾病患者的通气。

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of breathing exercises in the reduction of dyspnoea among the COPD patients. Methods: A quantitative research approach, quasi experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was used in the study. The study was theoretically supported by the frame work based on goal attainment theory of Imogen King. The study was conducted in pulmonology wards of a teaching institute in South India. A total of 60 subjects were selected. The samples were selected by using convenient sampling technique. BODE index was used to grade dyspnoea. The data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: 63% of patients were having BODE index score between 4 and 7. In the experimental group the mean pre-test value was 6.13 and the mean post-test value was 2.96 and significant at p value 0.001 level. The post interventional level of dyspnoea of both groups was analysed by using Mann Whitney test, and showed a p value of 0.001. There is significant reduction in the level of dyspnoea after practising breathing exercises compared with control group. Conclusion: There is significant reduction in the level of dyspnoea among COPD patients with breathing exercises.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)是发病率和死亡率的主要原因。目的:本研究旨在评估呼吸练习在COPD患者中减少呼吸困难的有效性。方法:采用定量研究方法,采用准实验前测和后测对照组设计。本研究的理论支持是基于Imogen King的目标实现理论的框架。这项研究是在印度南部一所教学机构的肺科病房进行的。共选择了60名受试者。采用方便抽样技术选择样品。采用BODE指数对呼吸困难进行评分。收集的数据使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。结果:63%的患者BODE指数评分在4 ~ 7分之间。实验组前测平均值为6.13,后测平均值为2.96,p值在0.001水平上差异有统计学意义。两组干预后呼吸困难水平采用Mann Whitney检验分析,p值均为0.001。与对照组相比,进行呼吸练习后呼吸困难程度显著降低。结论:COPD患者呼吸练习可显著降低呼吸困难程度。

Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a nosocomial pneumonia that develops within 48 hours or more of mechanical ventilation. It is also associated with significant morbidity including increased ventilatory days, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and higher medical cost that leads to high mortality rate in ICU. Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the patients diagnosed with VAP and also to identify the risk factors for VAP. Methodology: This retrospective study included 27 patients admitted in Medical and casualty ICU's from August 2013 to April 2014 who were diagnosed with various diseases and later developed VAP. The patient's demographic data and diagnosis based on Centres for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) criteria were collected. Results: Among 27 patients, 20 were male patients and 7 were female patients. The order of organism according to the frequency in the current study was found to be Acinectobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Hemophilus influenza, Enterobacter sp. Twenty two patients had late onset VAP and five patients had early onset VAP. Overall the survival was 52%. Conclusion: The incidence and the mortality of VAP are high in the current ICU setup. The mortality rate in the current study was 48% and the patients who survived had a longer ICU stay due to ventilator dependence.
简介:呼吸机相关性肺炎(VAP)是一种在机械通气48小时或更长时间内发生的医院内肺炎。它还与显著的发病率有关,包括通气天数增加、重症监护室(ICU)住院时间增加和导致ICU高死亡率的医疗费用增加。目的:评价VAP患者的临床转归,并确定VAP的危险因素。方法:这项回顾性研究包括2013年8月至2014年4月在医疗和伤员重症监护室入院的27名患者,他们被诊断患有各种疾病,后来发展为VAP。根据疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)的标准收集患者的人口统计数据和诊断。结果:27例患者中,男性20例,女性7例。根据本研究中的频率,生物体的顺序为不动杆菌、克雷伯菌、铜绿假单胞菌、耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌、肺炎链球菌、流感嗜血杆菌、肠杆菌。22名患者患有迟发性VAP,5名患者患有早发性VAP。总生存率为52%。结论:在目前的ICU设置中,VAP的发病率和死亡率较高。目前研究中的死亡率为48%,存活下来的患者因呼吸机依赖而在重症监护室停留的时间更长。

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in an adult with spina bifida and a ventriculo-atrial cerebrospinal fluid shunt in situ 慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压成人脊柱裂和脑室-心房脑脊液原位分流

A 31 year old man with spina bifida and a ventriculo-atrial (VA) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt in situ presented with sudden onset dyspnoea and pleuritic chest pain. He reported a nine month history of increasing breathlessness. Clinical signs of right heart strain were present. Echocardiography estimated the pulmonary artery pressure to be 86 mm Hg. Computed tomography pulmonary angiogram confirmed acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease. He was anticoagulated but unfortunately had a cardiac arrest and succumbed. VA CSF shunts were used for the treatment of hydrocephalus between the 1950s and 1980s. Although most VA shunts sited for hydrocephalus in childhood have been removed, some may remain in situ in adults. These patients are at risk of PE and development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Removal of the VA shunt should be considered when patients are shown to be shunt independent. We advise the regular screening of patients with VA CSF shunts for pulmonary hypertension with pulse oximetry, electrocardiography, chest radiography and echocardiography as it is preventable, detectable and treatable.
一例31岁男性脊柱裂并发脑室-心房(VA)脑脊液(CSF)原位分流,表现为突发性呼吸困难和胸膜炎性胸痛。他报告有九个月的呼吸困难病史。有右心劳损的临床表现。超声心动图估计肺动脉压为86毫米汞柱,计算机断层肺血管造影证实急性肺栓塞(PE)和慢性肺血栓栓塞性疾病。他是抗凝血的,但不幸的是心脏骤停,死亡了。在20世纪50年代至80年代,VA脑脊液分流术被用于脑积水的治疗。虽然大多数儿童脑积水的VA分流器已被移除,但有些可能在成人中保留原位。这些患者有PE和慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压(CTEPH)发展的风险。当显示患者能够独立进行分流时,应考虑移除VA分流器。我们建议定期用脉搏血氧仪、心电图、胸片和超声心动图筛查VA CSF分流术患者的肺动脉高压,因为它是可以预防、检测和治疗的。
