简介:目的探讨氩离子凝固术(ABC)治疗的疗效及安全性。方法应用ABC治疗疣状胃炎及息肉的疗效观察。结果ABC治疗息肉150例计212枚息肉均予以切除。其中直径>1cm者50枚用高频脉冲圈套器+ABC法治疗,而另100枚较小息肉(直径<1cm)仅使用ABC直接灼除。结果证实,ABC治疗息肉安全有效,无明显副作用;ABC治疗成熟型疣状胃炎80例,病灶数共计422枚。3月后随访,70例(87.5%)病人临床症状明显改善。胃镜复查发现,原病灶处均覆有新生的粘膜上皮及肉芽组织,无明显疤痕形成。10例(12.5%)病人仍见少许疣状灶及糜烂残留,再次行ABC术治疗。结论ABC为一种安全有效、易于控制的内镜下治疗胃肠疾病的新方法。
简介:目的:应用压力传感器持续监测气囊压力,观察气囊压力的变化规律,为临床更好的进行气囊管理提供依据。方法:气管导管的外露指示气囊通过三通、延长管与压力传感器相连,压力传感器的压力信号输出端与PHILIPS床旁监护仪压力导联线相连,压力校正完成后,通过监护仪持续监测气囊压力,每小时记录一次气囊压力。结果:各时间点的气囊压力采用重复测量的方差分析,F=8.367,P=0.001,各时间点的气囊压力存在统计学差异,至少有两个时间点气囊压力存在差异;两两比较结果显示,5小时、7小时、8小时气囊压低于起始值,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);气囊压力与监测时间呈负相关,相关系数为-0.933,气囊压力随着时间的推移呈下降趋势。结论:气囊存在微漏气,气囊压力会随着时间的推移逐渐下降,使用压力传感器可以持续动态监测气囊压力,及时发现压力不足,保证气囊压力处于控制范围。
