However, its role in adult sepsis remains controversial, with current reports showing varied outcomes for ECMO in adult sepsis treatment.

Changes in blood glucose parameters within 7 days before and after the use of Glucerna EN preparation were analyzed, including standard deviation (SD) of blood glucose, mean blood glucose (MG), median blood glucose, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE), coefficient of variation (CV) of blood glucose, the incidence of hyperglycemia (> 7.8 mmol/L) and severe hyperglycemia (> 13.9 mmol/L), and daily insulin dose. Changes in total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count (WBC) were observed before and after intervention.

After intervention with Glucerna, the patients' SD of blood glucose, MG, median blood glucose, MAGE, LAGE, CV of blood glucose, incidence of hyperglycemia, incidence of severe hyperglycemia, and daily insulin dose were all lower than those before the intervention [SD of blood glucose (mmol/L): 1.83±1.11 vs. 2.10±1.13, MG (mmol/L): 8.87±2.03 vs. 9.75±1.37, median blood glucose (mmol/L): 9.12±1.67 vs. 10.17±0.48, MAGE (mmol/L): 0.66±0.31 vs. 0.78±0.32, LAGE (mmol/L): 4.95±3.64 vs. 5.58±3.10, CV of blood glucose: 16.00% (11.00%, 28.50%) vs. 18.00% (12.50%, 27.50%), hyperglycemia incidence: 47.31% vs. 74.66%, severe hyperglycemia incidence: 6.08% vs. 6.71%, daily insulin dose (U): 5.25 (0.00, 32.59) vs. 20.76 (0.00, 66.88)], with a significant decrease in daily insulin dose after the intervention (P < 0.05); TP, ALB, Hb, CRP and WBC showed no significant changes before and after the intervention with Glucerna EN preparation. The improvement time of diarrhea symptoms after intervention was (3.50±1.41) days, and the Hart diarrhea score on the seventh day after intervention (4.88±3.48 vs. 10.00±3.38) and the Bristol Stool classification score on the third and seventh days after intervention (5.87±0.35, 5.50±0.53 vs. 6.50±0.53) were significantly lower than before the intervention (all P < 0.05).

Currently, ECMO is an advanced organ support technology and its application in the clinical field of critical care is becoming increasingly common. When ECMO is implemented via percutaneous cannulation at the bilateral femoral artery and vein, the traditional patient pants cannot be used, which leads to exposure of privacy, easy catching of cold, and easy contamination of bed sheets and covers during defecation, making the patient uncomfortable and increasing the risk of infection. Changing bed sheets and covers not only increases the workload of nurses, but also easily causes pipeline displacement or slipping. It is inconvenient to observe the patient's bleeding, displacement, or dislodgement of the pipeline at any time when wearing patient pants. To solve the problems, nursing staff in the emergency intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital have designed a protective skirt specifically designed for patients undergoing ECMO, which has obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2020 2 08120022.9). The special protective skirt for patients with ECMO mainly consists of a skirt body, a transparent observation window, a hip support part, and a fecal collection part. The transparent observation window is convenient for the puncture site and pipeline observation. After the hip support part is inflated, the patient can separate the perianal skin and urine and feces to avoid the occurrence of incontinence dermatitis. The fecal collection part can collect urine and feces to keep the bed unit clean. The protective skirt has a simple structure and is easy to wear and take off. While protecting patient privacy and ensuring patient comfort, it can also observe the condition of the pipeline at any time. It is suitable for patients with lower limb catheterization or urinary and fecal incontinence, and has certain clinical application and promotion value.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
