The findings underline the need for complementary training in the Advance Project model for GPs and practice managers to enable a team-based approach to implementation.Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common and serious complication in intensive care unit (ICU) with a high incidence of typical systemic and symmetrical muscle weakness, which mainly involves the limbs (proximal more than distal) and respiratory muscles, and can affect the short-term and long-term outcomes among ICU patients, further reduces their quality of life, and seriously delays their return to family and society. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis of ICU-AW are not clear, and the diagnosis methods are different. There is no "gold standard" for the diagnosis of ICU-AW, and there are still great difficulties in early diagnosis or recognition. This paper reviews the progress of ICU-AW diagnosis and evaluation, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research.Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients and it is directly related to the patient's prognosis and survival. Despite remaining uncertainties regarding the prevalence of AKI in intensive care unit (ICU), the overall incidence of AKI is relatively high, and prompt recognition is necessary to ensure the risk assessment, early diagnosis, clinical outcome, and treatment of critically ill patients. Doppler-based renal resistive index (RRI) mainly reflects vascular bed resistance state, which can be indirect to the extent of the damage of renal parenchyma. It is a relatively objective and quantitative evaluation, and is widely used in clinical prognosis of acute or chronic renal damage evaluation and judgment. This paper reviews the definition of RRI, the measurement methods of RRI, the application and progress of RRI in the field of AKI, the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic measurement of RRI, the long-term application of RRI, the effectiveness of RRI in predicting AKI, and the progress in clinical application.The main mechanisms of sepsis induced organ damage are microcirculation dysfunction, host immune response imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, etc. As one of the most metabolically active organs in the human body, the retina can be damaged in sepsis. Studies have shown that nearly 50% of patients with sepsis have changes such as slow retinal blood flow, exudation, hemorrhage, and retinal microaneurysm formation, which are far higher than clinicians' expectations. For individuals, the importance of the eyeball has always surpassed this organ itself. Even the slight deterioration of visual ability may be closely related to daily activities. However, the ICU physicians are mainly concerned with the dysfunction of the "large" organs, it is only noticed when the patient has an irreversible visual impairment. In addition, the eyes can also "reflect" the severity of the disease and predict the prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to re-understand and pay more attention to this organ in sepsis. compound library inhibitor This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, possible pathogenic factors, pathogenesis, and treatment of septic retinal and optic nerve injury, to raise the concern about "eyeball" injury in septic patients.Coagulation disorder or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clinicopathological syndrome, in which the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis is the main pathogenesis, and systemic microthrombosis and systemic bleeding tendency are the main clinical manifestations. The clinical outcome is often the induction of systemic multiple organ dysfunction. As a common complication of sepsis, DIC significantly increases the mortality of septic patients. The coagulation disorder in sepsis is closely related to the inflammatory response of the body. Studying the mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorder will provide new possibilities for its early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. This article reviews the latest research progress on the molecular mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorders in immunity and inflammation, in order to provide new possibilities for potential therapeutic targets.Sepsis is a life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction disease with high mortality and has become leading causes of death affecting intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Both long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) are involved in the pathophysiological process of sepsis and can regulate the inflammatory response, both of which could be used as important diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets of sepsis. The interaction among lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA plays an important role in sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction. This paper reviewed the regulatory relationship of lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA, as well as the regulatory role of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis in inflammatory immune response and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in sepsis, to provide new targets and strategies for the treatment of sepsis and organ dysfunction.Thoracentesis is common in daily medical practice. During the operation, it is easy to cause complications such as re-expansion pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypotension, liver and spleen injury, pleural reaction, intercostal artery injury, pneumothorax, and so on. If the operator does not master procedures properly, it is easy to damage the thoracic organs. Therefore, the department of the general practice of the First Hospital of Jiaxing improved the puncture needle device based on thoracic puncture cannula, developed a new type of disposable thoracic puncture cannula, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number ZL 2019 2 2112955.7). New type of disposable thoracic puncture cannula comprises a flexible puncture cannula, a steel needle, a limit structure, and a second bolt. In the process of puncture, the length of the puncture is limited by the limit structure. If the puncture force is too strong, the limit structure will prevent further penetration of the needle. The device is easy to use, flexible to operate, easy to master, and can reduce the risk of thoracentesis, which is worth of clinical promotion.Dysglycemia is independently associated with the mortality of critically ill patients. Therefore, the management of blood glucose plays an important role in comprehensive therapy. It is suggested that the same target value of blood glucose (7.8-10.0 mmol/L) should not be set for all critically ill patients. Instead, it should be individually set based on the causes of the patient's admission and the status of blood glucose before admission. For this reason, there is an urgent need for a convenient protocol and method to regulate the dosage of insulin. The first hospital of Jiaxing, collaborating with information engineers, developed a modified eProtocol-insulin for domestic population with mathematical modeling and developed an Application Software (APP), which is convenient for clinical use. This is the first eProtocol-insulin and smart device APP for critically ill patients in China.
To summarize the strategy of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support during lung transplantation from 2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with end-stage respiratory failure.
Two COVID-19 with end-stage respiratory failure patients were admitted to Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital in March 2020. As the homoeostasis and vital signs could not be maintained in balance by conventional treatments, lung transplantations were performed. Here, detail information about combined application of peripheral veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) and central veno-arterial ECMO (CVA-ECMO) during the operation will be discussed.
Case 1 59 years old, 172 cm height, 72 kg weight, who received mechanical ventilation for 22 days, tracheotomy tube for 17 days, and VV-ECMO support for 7 days. Case 2 72 years old, 178 cm height, 71 kg weight, who received mechanical ventilation for 19 days, tracheotomy tube for 17 days, and VV-ECMO support for 18 days. As both of them have severe COVID-19-associated respiratory failure, and the recovery was determined to be unlikely, lung transplantations were performed. Severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and cardiac insufficiency were found during the operation. Based on preoperative VV-ECMO, CVA-ECMO was added. The concomitant use of peripheral VV-ECMO and CVA-ECMO offered satisfied intraoperative oxygenation and cardiopulmonary status,the operations run smoothly, and the CVA-ECMO was successfully removed, no ECMO-related complications occurred.
The combined use of VV-ECMO and CVA-ECMO is an optimal strategy in the end-stage ARDS patients with severe PAH and cardiac insufficiency, which can offer benefits on respiratory and cardiac functions simultaneously, and ensure surgery safety.

To investigate the standardized construction of critical care departments in different cities and counties of Guizhou province to promote the homogenization development of critical care medicine in Guizhou Province.
Using research methods such as field investigation and data collection, the public hospitals of 88 counties and urban areas in 9 prefectures and cities of Guizhou province were divided into five routes southeast, northeast, northwest, southwest, and Guiyang. To design the survey form for the standardized construction of ICU, the e-form was sent to the director of ICU or his/her designated personnel by email or wechat 2-3 days in advance. Check the authenticity of data item by item on site, and leave the hospital after checking the receipt form.
From April to July 2021, the survey and research data collection was completed for 146 public hospitals (excluding provincial hospitals) with intensive care departments in 88 counties and cities of 9 dizhou cities in Guizhou Province, including 24 Grae construction has been significantly improved. Lack of talents is still an important factor restricting the rapid development of the discipline.
To explore the risk factors of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), and to establishment and verify its risk prediction model.
A modeling group of 231 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Hospital of Jiaxing from July 2019 to June 2020 was collected by convenience sampling method. According to whether they developed ICU-AW, they were divided into ICU-AW group (55 cases) and non ICU-AW group (176 cases). The clinical data were collected concerning patients' individual information, disease-related factors, treatment-related factors and laboratory indicators, and the differences of the above indexes between two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the ICU-AW risk factors and a risk prediction model was constructed. Calculate the area under ROC curve (AUC) to test the prediction effect of the model. At the same time, 60 patients who admitted to ICU from July to October 2020 and met the standards were collected to verify the model.
