简介:目的评价床边超声心动图在房间隔缺损(ASD)封堵术中的临床应用。方法25例ASD适合介入封堵的病人,术中床边超声心动图测量ASD最大直径,与测量球囊测量ASD直径比较,指导封堵器封堵、释放等过程,并观察有无残余分流及封堵器是否影响周围结构功能。结果25例患者ASD直径床边超声心动图测量值为(20.52±1.53)mm,球囊导管测量值为(21.41±1.52)mm,二者差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。25例患者全部一次堵闭成功,术后即刻超声心动图检查无残余分流,各瓣膜无病理性返流或原有返流加重,上、下腔静脉回流正常。结论床边超声心动图在ASD封堵术中能准确估测ASD直径,指导封堵过程,监测有无并发症发生,在ASD封堵术中具有重要指导作用。

简介:目的研究6小时内到达医院就诊的急性脑梗死患者未进行溶栓治疗的原因及对策。方法通过回顾性调查,对院内发生的或6小时内到院的急性脑梗死患者未进行溶栓治疗的原因统计,并对原因进行对策分析。结果174例缺血性脑卒中患者在发病6小时内到达医院就诊,42例接受溶栓治疗,占24.41%。溶栓患者平均到院时间(4.00±1.61)小时。发病6小时内就诊的132例脑梗死患者未接受溶栓治疗,其原因有醒后卒中,完成评估后超过时间窗,患方拒绝或犹豫,严重神经功能缺损,年龄不符等。结论加强对醒后卒中的研究,加强公众对脑卒中的了解,优化院内卒中流程,更新我国溶栓指南等有助于提高脑梗死溶栓治疗比例。
