目的:探讨支气管肺动脉成形术治疗中心型肺癌的效果。方法:1998年12月至2008年12月对16例中央型肺癌施行支气管肺动脉联合成形肺叶切除,包括双袖式左肺上叶切除7例;双袖式右肺上叶切除2例;双袖式右肺中上叶切除2例;双袖式右肺中上叶切除同时隆突重建2例;袖式左上肺叶切除、肺动脉楔形切除2例;袖式右肺中上叶切除、肺动脉楔形切除1例。结果:本组无死亡及吻合口瘘发生,术后2例出现肺不张,2例并发肺感染,全组术后1年生存率为93.8%,3年生存率为62.5%。结论:肺动脉成形或肺动脉支气管同时成形肺叶切除减少了全肺切除和单纯剖胸探查的比例,扩大了手术适应征,符合最大限度地切除肿瘤及最大限度保留肺功能的肺癌手术基本原则,是一种安全、有效、可行的术式。
ObjectiveTo explore an effective and safe drainage method, by comparing open thoracic drainage and conventional thoracic drainage for lung cancer patients after thoracoscopic pneumonectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 147 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pneumonectomy from January 2015 to March 2018 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 128 males and 19 females. Based on drainage methods, they were divided into an open drainage group (open group) and a conventional drainage group (regular group). The incidence of postoperative complications, chest tube duration, drainage volume at postoperative 3 days, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization cost and quality of life were compared between the two groups.ResultsPostoperative complication rate was lower in the open group than that in the regular group (10.20% vs. 23.47%, P=0.04). The chest tube duration of the open group was longer compared with the regular group (5.57±2.36 d vs. 3.22±1.23 d, P<0.001). The drainage volume at postoperative 3 days was less in the regular group. In the open group, ambulation was earlier, thoracocentesis was less and re-intubation rate was lower (all P<0.001). The postoperative hospital stay in the regular group was significantly longer than that in the open group (8.37±2.56 d vs. 6.35±1.87 d, P<0.001) and hospitalization cost was significantly higher (66.2±5.4 thousand yuan vs. 59.6±7.3 thousand yuan, P<0.001). Besides, quality of life in 1 and 3 months after operation was significantly better than that in the open group (P<0.001).ConclusionCompared with the regular chest drainage, the effect of open thoracic drainage is better, which can help reduce postoperative complications, shorten the length of hospital stay, reduce the hospitalization cost and improve the quality of postoperative life. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
Abstract: Objective To analyze possible associated risk factors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) after lung resection in order to decrease the incidence and mortality of PPC. Methods We reviewed the data of 302 patients including 228 males and 74 females undergoing lung resection from January 2007 to December 2009 in our department. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 91 years old with an average age of 63.38 years. Based on the present definition of PPC, we recorded the related information and data before, during and after the operation, and observed the rate of PPC. The independent risk factors of PPC were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 22 patients (7.28%) died during the operation and 75 patients (24.83%) experienced 110 times of PPC, the majority of which were prolonged air leak/bronchopleural fistula (8.94%, 27/302), nosocomial pneumonia (6.95%, 21/302) and acute respiratory failure (6.29%, 19/302). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that an American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score ≥3 (OR=2.400,P=0.020) and prolonged duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR=1.620,P=0.030) were independent factors associated with the development of PPC.Conclusions The ASA score based on the patients’ general condition and the function status of the main organs, and the prolonged duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation are independent risk factors of PPC. In order to decrease the PPC rate, more attention should be paid to perfecting preoperative preparation, improving the function and condition of the organs, preserving pulmonary function and decreasing the duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation for patients with high risk factors.
Objective To explore the relationship between preoperative fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lung resection, and provide a reference for prediction and prevention of PPCs in the clinic. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the type 2 diabetic patients who underwent elective thoracoscopic lung resection for the first time in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2021. According to the level of FPG one day before the operation, the patients were divided into three groups: a hypoglycemia group (<6.1 mmol/L), a medium level blood glucose group (≥6.1 mmol/L and <8.0 mmol/L) and a high blood glucose group (≥8.0 mmol/L). Besides, the patients were divided into a PPCs group and a non-PPCs group according to whether PPCs occurred. The risk factors for PPCs were analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of preoperative FPG level on PPCs was estimated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results A total of 130 patients were included, including 75 (57.7%) males and 55 (42.3%) females with an average age of 63.5±9.0 years. Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to non-PPCs patients, the level of preoperative FPG (P=0.023) and smoking history ratio (P=0.036) were higher and the operation time was longer (P=0.004) in the PPCs patients. High FPG level on preoperative day 1 and longer operation time were associated with PPCs risk. Besides, the preoperative FPG of 6.79 mmol/L was the threshold value to predict the occurrence of PPCs [AUC=0.653, 95%CI (0.559, 0.747), P=0.003]. Conclusion There is a certain correlation between preoperative FPG level and postoperative PPCs, which may be used as an index to predict the occurrence of PPCs.
