The variable quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the low percentage of bystander CPR participation are the main reasons for these phenomena. Real-time feedback devices are an effective strategy to address these issues and have been recommended for use in several guidelines. However, the existing CPR feedback devices have the problems of being inconvenient to operate and expensive to popularize. Therefore, members of the CPR training team of Loudi Central Hospital designed a CPR real-time feedback APP device, which has been granted the right of National Invention Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2021 1 1118500.1). The device consists of a feedback device and a mobile device (there are two versions: healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals). The feedback device consists of a pressing plate and a soft rubber plate. The inner side of the soft rubber plate is covered with sensor monitoring points. On each sensor monitoring point, there are micro pressure sensors and micro acceleration sensors. When performing chest compressions, the sensors will transmit the relevant data to the cell phone feedback APP. By sampling and analyzing the data and building a three-dimensional dynamic model, the feedback APP accurately judges the effect of chest compressions based on factors such as the strength of the compressions, the frequency of the compressions and the depth of the compressions, corrects and provides voice guidance for the subsequent CPR process in real time, guides the rescuers to follow the standardized procedures for rescue, and improves the survival rate and neurological recovery of the CPR patients.

Prone ventilation is one of the important treatment methods for ARDS, but due to the severity of the patients' conditions, their physical weakness, and poor cooperation, it is difficult for them to adjust to the prone position on their own. This requires a large number of medical staff to adjust the patient to a prone position and implement prone ventilation for than 12 hours daily to achieve therapeutic effects. Clinical implementation often faces challenges such as a shortage of staff, patient discomfort, difficulty in changing positions prolonged time leading to bedsores, and lack of auxiliary equipment. It is particularly challenging for ARDS patients, especially those in critical condition, to adjust their on their own. Therefore, healthcare workers from the department of emergency of Yingtan 184 Hospital designed a prone and side lying double-purpose inflatable mattress for ARDS, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1249425.7). The prone and side lying dual-purpose inflatable mattress mainly consists of a main mattress, a forehead pad, a prone position pad, and bilateral side lying position pads. The prone position pad and the lateral position pad on both sides are relatively independent, and can be inflated separately through their inflation nozzles to meet the ventilation needs of ARDS patients in prone or lateral positions, making it easy to adjust the patient's position. This mattress is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to operate, comfortable, and practical. It has transformation, promotion, and application value.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"36 11","pages":"1213-1215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142855623","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}

Clinical data, laboratory indicators, disease severity scores [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)] were collected. Patients were divided into death group and survival group according to whether they died at 28 days, and the difference between the two groups was compared. The dataset was randomly divided into training set and validation set according to 7 : 3. Lasso regression method was used to screen the risk factors affecting the 28-day death of sepsis patients, and incorporating multivariate Logistic regression analysis (stepwise regression) were included, a prediction model was constructed based on the independent risk factors obtained, and a nomogram was drawn. The nomogram prediction model was established. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze and evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model.
