Objective To explore the value of glycemic variability(GV) in predicting early enteral feeding intolerance(EFI) in critically ill patients,and provide a basis for precision nutrition management. Methods The 283 patients who initiated enteral nutrition in the ICU between June 2022 and June 2024 were enrolled. Patients were divided into a tolerance group and an intolerance group based on the occurrence of enteral feeding intolerance(EFI). Data collected included general patient characteristics,laboratory parameters,clinical treatments,and blood glucose values,with glycemic variability(GV) calculated. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for EFI,while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was employed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of GV for EFI. Results Among the 283 patients,156 tolerated enteral feeding,while 127 developed EFI. The incidence of EFI was 44.87%,with primary manifestations of gastric retention(50.39%) and diarrhea(36.22%),mostly occurring between days 2 and 3 after nutrition initiation. Logistic and Cox regression indicated that pre-nutrition glucose standard deviation(GLUsd)(β=0.218,OR=1.244) and APACHE Ⅱ score(β=0.078,OR=1.081) were independent risk factors for EFI. ROC analysis showed that the AUCs for APACHE Ⅱ score and pre-nutrition GLUsd were 0.696 and 0.657,respectively,increasing to 0.723 when combined. Correspondingly,accuracy improved from 67.137% and 63.984% to 70.115%,with more balanced sensitivity and specificity. GV indicators during nutrition initiation did not show significant predictive value. Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ score and pre-nutrition GLUsd are both significant predictors of early enteral feeding intolerance,and their combination further enhances diagnostic efficacy. Clinically,the dual-dimensional assessment of metabolic stability and disease severity should be emphasized prior to nutrition support,in order to optimize nutritional management,reduce the incidence of EFI,and improve outcomes in critically ill patients.

2025, 6 (6):  692-696.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.2096-7446.2025.06.009
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (967KB) ( )  

Objective To explore the experience of anesthesia nurses using the difficult airway information management system(DAIMS) and to provide recommendations for its optimization and widespread implementation. Methods Phenomenological method in qualitative research was adopted,an interview outline was developed based on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use from the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 anesthesia nurses at a tertiary class A hospital in Zhejiang Province. Colaizzi’s seven-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview data. Results The user experience of the DAIMS among anesthesia nurses can be categorized into 3 themes and 7 sub-themes:perceived usefulness(identification and early warning of airway risks,optimization of nursing workflows),barriers to usability(subjectivity in the assessment process,absence of risk stratification prompts,lack of physiological symptom assessment),and behavioral intentions (positive acceptance,enhancement of out-of-hospital support functions). Conclusion Anesthesia nurses hold a positive and optimistic attitude toward the DAIMS. However,continuous improvements are needed to optimize airway assessment functionality,risk stratification prompts,and the evaluation and early warning of physiological symptoms. Furthermore,strengthening follow-up and health education support functions would improve the system’s usability.

Objective The study aims to establish a neuro-monitoring and nursing plan during the low perfusion period in emergency cardiac arrest patients based on appropriate use criteria,to address the problem of brain injury after autonomous circulation recovery. This plan provides guidance for clinical nurses on neurological management during low perfusion period in cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients. Methods This study established a multidisciplinary team to develop a neuro-monitoring and nursing plan for emergency cardiac arrest patients during the low perfusion period based on the AHA and ILCOR guidelines. A total of 68 patients in the experimental group were resuscitated according to the plan,while the control group followed the traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation protocol. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of patient age,gender,cause of cardiac arrest,and outcomes. The neurological function assessment in survivors of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group(P=0.017). In patients who achieved ROSC in the experimental group,the changes in end-tidal CO2 and cerebral oxygen saturation were consistent with domestic and foreign studies,but due to the limited sample size,there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion The neuro-monitoring and nursing plan during the low perfusion period in emergency cardiac arrest patients holds promise for improving neurological outcomes after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However,there are operational complexities and technical challenges during its implementation.

Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1186KB) ( )  

Objective To explore the latent profile and influencing factors of the flourishing of intensive care unit(ICU) nurses,and to provide a basis for improving the level of happiness among ICU nurses. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 243 ICU nurses in Jiangsu Province using general information questionnaires,the Flourishing Scale,the Fatigue Scale,and the Professional Quality of Life Scale from November to December of 2023. The categories of ICU nurses’ flourishing were analyzed through latent profile analysis,and the influencing factors of different latent profiles were explored through single-factor analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. Results The flourishing state of the nurses can be categorized into two latent profiles,including the low flourishing level-low interest group(45.7%) and the high flourishing level-balanced group(54.3%). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that average daily sleep time,fatigue,and empathy fatigue were influencing factors of latent profiles(all P<0.05). Conclusion There is heterogeneity in the flourishing state among ICU nurses. Nursing managers should adopt targeted strategies based on the distinct flourishing characteristics of ICU nurses,with a particular focus on those who exhibit sleep disorders,fatigue,and empathy fatigue to improve their level of happiness,thereby ensuring the quality of nursing services.

2025, 6 (6):  731-736.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.2096-7446.2025.06.018
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (898KB) ( )  

Objective To explore the source of moral emotion in ICU nurses,analyze the influence of moral emotion on life and clinical work,and provide evidence for the formulation of moral emotion intervention strategies in ICU nurses. Methods A descriptive phenomenological study was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 13 ICU nurses from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Shandong Province in June 2024 by objective sampling method. The data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step method. Results A total of 4 themes and 9 sub-themes were extracted,including the concealing of moral emotions,the sources of positive moral emotions(harmony of department atmosphere,application of the“HAVENS” humanistic care,recognition of professional values,life satisfaction and expectation),and the sources of negative moral emotions (overload of pressure burden,fear of environmental adaptation,expectation and disappointment),the influence of moral emotions on nurses(the influence of positive moral emotion experience on nurses,the influence of negative moral emotion experience on nurses). Conclusion The positive and negative moral emotional experience of ICU nurses can not only promote the professional development of nurses,but also cause self-denial,anxiety,fear,helplessness and job burnout,which seriously affects the physical and mental health of nurses and is not conducive to the improvement of nursing quality. Nursing managers should focus on the influence of moral emotion on ICU nurses’ work and life,and formulate corresponding intervention measures to improve nurses’ moral emotion experience and improve nursing quality.

Objective To evaluate and summarize the best evidence for the assessment and management of perioperative spinal cord ischemia(SCI) in patients with thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR). Methods The databases at home and abroad and relevant professional websites were systematically searched for clinical decision-making,guidelines,expert consensus,evidence summaries,and original studies on the assessment and management of perioperative SCI in patients with TEVAR. The retrieval time limit was from January 1,2014 to May 23,2024. Two researchers performed quality assessment,data extraction,evidence grading and summarization of the included literature. Results A total of 15 studies were included,including one clinical decision,five guidelines,six expert consensuses,two systematic reviews,and one cohort study. Twenty-seven recommendations were summarized in seven areas,including multidisciplinary team,assessment of risk factors,intraoperative spinal cord protection,assessment of spinal cord ischemia,postoperative cluster measures,cerebrospinal fluid puncture and drainage,and rehabilitation. Conclusion This study comprehensively and scientifically summarizes the best evidence for the assessment and management of spinal cord ischemia after TEVAR,provides an evidence-based basis for clinical healthcare professionals to target the application of evidence.

Objective To retrieve and evaluate the relevant literature on conservative oxygen therapy for critically ill adults,summarize the best evidence,and provide references for clinical practice. Methods We developed a literature search strategy following the "6S" evidence model to retrieve computer decision support systems,guideline websites,and professional society websites,as well as Chinese and English databases,with a search timeframe from the establishment of the databases to April 22,2024. Literature that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was selected,and two researchers independently conducted quality assessment and extracted and summarized evidence based on professional judgment. Results A total of 17 articles were included,including 4 guidelines,2 evidence summaries,and 11 systematic reviews. 22 pieces of evidence were extracted into 9 categories:oxygenation targets,contraindications,initiation timing,assessment,monitoring,discontinuation timing,precautions,quality control,and bene-fits of conservative oxygen therapy. Conclusion This study summarizes the best evidence for conservative oxygen therapy nursing in adult critically ill patients,which is instructive for medical staff to formulate reasonable oxygen therapy plans,standardize clinical oxygen therapy nursing,and ensure patient oxygen safety. When applying the evidence,it is still necessary to comprehensively judge based on the patients’ specific condition.

Objective Based on the three-dimensional quality structure model,a scoping review of the names,contents,and frequencies of ICU nursing quality evaluation indicators at home and abroad were conducted to provide reference for the construction of evaluation indicators of ICU nursing quality which is suitable for Chinese environment. Methods Based on the research framework proposed by Arksey and O`Malley,we searched PubMed,Embase,Web of science,Cochrane,China Knowledge Network,Wanfang database,from the establishment of the database to April 15,2024. Data selection and graphing was done by two researchers,using qualitative content analysis methods to qualitatively summarize the extracted contents. Results 18 articles were finally included. Most of the included studies used the Donabedian model(55.56%) as the theoretical framework. The basic method to form the indicators was mostly based on the literature review(72.22%),and then Delphi expert correspondence(88.89%),ultimately resulting in 3 first-level indicators,15 second-level indicators,and 115 third-level indicators,with a cumulative frequency of 784. Conclusion Evaluation indicators of ICU nursing quality have developed in the direction of evidence-based,scientific and professionalization,but there are still differences with the foreign index system,so it is necessary to further strengthen the quantity and quality of structural quality inputs,focusing on basic nursing care and nursing operations in process quality,while emphasizing the “patient-centered” outcome quality. In the future,we need to build a new type of high-quality,operable,and localized evaluation indicators for ICU nursing quality.

Return to work is an important indicator that patients have recovered and successfully integrated into society. Failure to return to work promptly will cause serious adverse effects on physical and mental recovery and social function of patients after aortic dissection. This paper reviews the influencing factors and interventions for postoperative patients with aortic dissection to return to work,aiming to provide references for clinical staff to formulate and implement scientific vocational rehabilitation programs to facilitate the patients to return to work and rebuild their social roles as soon as possible.
