Objective To explore the clinical value of Wells score combined with thromboelastography (TEG) in rapid prediction of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A total of 130 AECOPD patients admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Guangxi University of Science and Technology from January 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects. According to results of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the pulmonary artery, the patients were divided into a PE group (n=37) and a non-PE group (n=93). Both groups underwent Wells score analysis combined with TEG. Thromboelastographic parameters were comparing between the two groups, including Wells score, reaction time (R time), reaction time (K time), coagulation index (CI), and maximum amplitude (MA). The diagnostic value of different prediction models to diagnose AECOPD with PE was compared, including Wells score, thromboelogram and Wells score combined with TEG. Results The Wells score of the patients in the PE group was significantly higher than that in the non-PE group, and R time of the patients in the PE group was significantly lower than that in the non-PE group. The K time, CI, MA and other parameter levels of the patients in the PE group were significantly higher than those in the non-PE group (all P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and area under ROC curve of the combination of Wells score and TEG prediction model in diagnosing AECOPD complicated with PE were greater than those of the Wells score alone prediction model (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of Wells score and TEG has significant clinical value in quickly predicting AECOPD complicated with PE, and is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of disinfection measures in the isolation ward of ICU in severe patients infected with the Omilkerong variant of the new coronavirus, and to optimize the infection control measures. MethodsReferring to the patient's epidemiological and nucleic acid sample data, nucleic acid sampling was performed on the isolated ward environment by surface sampling method, and the nucleic acid Ct value of virus was detected by parallel fluorescence PCR method. The aerosol was collected by a wet-wall cyclone sampler, and the nucleic acid Ct value of the virus was detected by parallel fluorescence PCR. ResultsBefore daily disinfection, SARS-CoV-2 positive samples were found on the surface of the patient's ward and air sampling after the tracheoscopic tracheostomy. No positive samples of SARS-CoV-2 were found on the surface of articles and air in the patient's ward after daily disinfection. ConclusionThe daily disinfection measures of the hospital can achieve the effect of SARS-CoV-2 disinfection, which suggests that the surface of the articles in the ward after invasive operations such as tracheostomy and tracheoscopy, especially within 2 meters of the tracheostomy and the tracheostomy, is the key part of disinfection, which needs to be paid attention to.
