Objective To identify an evidence-based treatment for an elderly patient with intertrochanteric fractures. Methods Clinical problems were presented on the basis of the patient’s conditions, and evidence was collected from the NGC (2000 to 2009), The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), TRIP Database, PubMed (1966 to 2009) and CBM (1978 to 2009). Treating strategies were formulated in terms of the three-combination principle (best evidence, the doctor’s professional knowledge and the patient’s desire). Results Three guidelines and sixteen studies were included. The current evidence indicated that surgery was the preferred solution to intertrochanteric fractures of the elderly patient. The sliding hip screw (SHS) appeared superior to others. There was insufficient evidence to support the routine use of closed suction drainage in orthopedic surgeries. Early surgery was associated with shorter hospital stay and improved mortality. Antibiotic prophylaxis significantly reduced infections. In order to lower the risk of venous thromboembolism, pharmacological prophylaxis should be carried out when the patient was admitted to hospital and be assisted with mechanical prophylaxis after surgery. Nutritional supplementation was conducive to the recovery of the patient. Rehabilitation ought to be performed as soon as possible. Considering the patient’s condition, the treatment option was established according to the available evidence and guidelines. Short-term follow-up showed a good outcome. Conclusion Through the evidence-based method, an individual treatment plan could obviously improve the treatment effect and prognosis.
摘要:目的:探讨老年人梗阻性大肠癌的围手术期处理。方法:回顾性分析2003年至2008年间71例60岁以上老年人梗阻性大肠癌的围手术期处理情况。 结果:术前发现并存病者43例,术中出现并发症19例,术后发生并发症37例得,除5例死亡外,均得到有效控制,死亡原因与并存疾病有关。结论:加强围手术期处理,积极治疗并存疾病,老年人梗阻性大肠癌的治疗同样能取得满意的效果。Abstract: Objective:To study the perioperative measures for the aged patients with Obstructive Colorectal Cancer. Methods: Seventyone cases above 60 years with Obstructive Colorectal Cancer were analysed retrospectively on their individual accompanied diseases and perioperative treatments, from 2003 to 2008.Results: Fortythree cases of them had suffered from other diseases. Midoperative complications occurred in 19 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 37 cases. Except 5 cases of death, complications occurring in others cases were well controlled. The death causes mainly were correlated with accompanied chronic diseases. Conclusion: Strengthen care, active management of other chronic diseases are important significantly for senile patients with colorectal carcinoma to get satisfied outcome.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical characteristics of elderly hemodialysis (HD) patients and discuss how to control their complications, in order to improve their quality of life and lower their mortality rate. MethodContrastive study and analysis were performed on the clinical data of 98 maintenance HD patients (between elderly and young HD patients) between January 2013 and January 2014. Complications, rate of hospitalization and mortality were analyzed during the follow-up of one year. ResultsThe ratio of hypertensive kidney disease and diabetic nephropathy, as primary disease of the elderly HD patients, gradually increased. More people chose to use semi-permanent jugular vein catheter for elderly HD patients. Compared with young HD patients, the levels of hemoglobin, albumin, serum creatinine, KT/v were lower in the elderly patients, and C-reactive protein was much higher (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in cholesterol, triglyceride, calcium, phosphorus, parathormone between the two groups (P>0.05). Dialysis-related hypotension and blocking of vascular access occurred more frequently in elderly HD patients. Hospitalization rate and mortality rate were higher in elderly HD patients (P<0.05). ConclusionsImproving nutritional status, keeping vascular access unobstructed for a long time and decreasing complications related to hemodialysis are helpful for elderly HD patients to enhance their quality of life and reduce the mortality rate.
目的 了解老年2型糖尿病动脉僵硬度与踝臂指数（ABI）对评价外周动脉硬化的价值。 方法 2010年1月－3月，应用超声、回声跟踪技术和动脉硬化检测仪检测80例老年2型糖尿病患者（观察组）和40例正常老年人（对照组）的颈总动脉内中膜厚度（IMT）、僵硬系数（β）、脉搏波传导速度（PWVβ）、ABI及动脉斑块情况。 结果 与对照组比较，观察组患者的IMT增厚、β增高、PWVβ增快、ABI降低及动脉斑块发生率增多，差异均具有统计学意义（P＜0.001）。 结论 老年2型糖尿病可导致IMT增厚、动脉僵硬度增高、PWVβ增快、ABI降低及更易发生动脉粥样硬化斑块，这些参数可以预测外周动脉粥样硬化的程度，利用彩色多普勒超声诊断仪和动脉硬化检测仪可以较容易得到这些参数，是评价外周动脉粥样硬化病变一种简便、易行，有临床实际意义的方法和手段。
Objective To investigate the surgicalmethod and perioperative treatment for senile lumbar disease accompanied by internal disease. Methods From June 2000 to December 2003,the complete neurological and physical examinations were performed on the patients before operation, as treatment of internal diseases could improve the patients’ conditions. Lumbar operations were performed on 125 patients, among whom 23 had simple lumbardisc herniation, 13 had lumbar spine stenosis, 81 had lumbar disc herniation with lumbar spine stenosis, and 8 had spondylolisthesis.The JOA score was 116±2.5. There were 3 patients undergoing fenerstration+discectomy, 16 undergoing semilaminectomy+discectomy,82 undergoing total-laminectomy+disectomy, 5 undergoing total-laminectomy+disectomy+pedicle fixation, 11 undergoing lamina decompression+nerve-root pathyway decompression, and 8 undergoing pedicle screw fixation+bone graft and fusion in spondylolisthesis. Results With an effective medical treatment, the internal disease produced little effect on the operation. Improved functions and bone fusions were observed after- operation. According to the JOA standards, the average alleviation rate was 87.9%. Conclusion Early neurological examination and proper treatment of internal diseases are the keys to the successful operation on the senile patients with lumbar disease. Radiological data are important in avoidance of mistaken diagnosis.
