1。简介： 在路口的质量鸿沟，2001年医学研究所（IOM）对质量和卫生保健的报告，有针对性的改进的一个地区以病人为中心，或病人的疾病和保健的经验。病人为中心的一个重要方面是尊重病人的价值观，偏好和表达的需要。然而，国际移民组织的报告中没有指定供应商可以如何采取步骤，以了解病人的价值观，喜好，和表达的需要。它也没有提供有关病人的角度来看，未来的了解如何转化，以提高临床护理质量的指导。它是在临床上遇到，我们必须概念化和适用于病人“的价值观，喜好，过路的质量和卫生保健的鸿沟，并表示需要学习。医学模式指导我们的卫生保健实践，导致供应商来治疗疾病。公平的过程中成立的医疗模式，可以帮助我们给病人治病。 要实现以人为本的护理，临床医生需要了解病人的生命和他们的工作，坚持在家中和他们的社区治疗的建议。医疗模式，不包括环境，患者必须采取行动，医治。它不包括对护理质量和他们的治疗过程中病人的角度来看。通常的医疗模式是一种以病人为中心的护理的挑战。 从病人的角度来看，质量是不是一个简单的概念，但最好在五个方面理解：在生活质量方面的技术成果;健康高效路线的决策效率;设施和便利，信息和情感上的支持（关系）;和整体病人的满意度（Chilingerian 2004年）。这五管齐下，从病人的角度来看，质量的概念是在图1所示：星的质量，以病人为中心的观点。 <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig1.jpg" alt="图1" /> 图1星的质量，以病人为中心的观点。 （2004年Chilingerian） 未考虑在医疗成果为重点，而不考虑实现这些成果是至关重要的进程，从病人的角度来看结果的质量。 Kim和Mauborgne（1997），他们在企业公平的进程中的开创性的研究，指出，人照顾有关的成果，但他们可能用来产生这些成果的过程放在更重要的，他们想要的感觉，听到他们的观点是。 Kim和Mauborgne的19家公司的研究发现，一个组织过程，态度，行为和性能之间的直接联系。所示，Kim和Mauborgne认为在形式公平的进程中，程序正义的信任和承诺，自愿合作，并超出了预期。 <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig2.jpg" alt="图2" /> 图2：性能（金＆Mauborgne，1997年，与哈佛商学院出版社的许可使用） 的两个互补的路径。 公正的程序和临床护理在临床护理中，​​公平的过程发生在病人提供者之间的相互作用。从概念上讲，公平的进程中，打开门把病人的发展中国家卫生保健的目标和战略工作的专业知识。范德Heyden 等 （2005）描述公平的进程中的一些关键要素。公平的进程中从事的护理过程中，分析病人的情况导致一个问题的框架的患者，如在临床医生和患者的工作，以探索和狭窄的诊断问题，治疗，及治疗方法的清单，解释的决定的理由，设置有关病人提供者的角色和职责的期望，并实现了与朝预后评价和相互学习的眼睛护理计划。 病人提供者之间的相互作用，公平的进程中建立关系和信任。公平的过程，而不是线性圆形，深的参与，探索和解释，可能同时出现在任何顺序为病人和服务提供者共同探讨挑战，并找出解决办法。每个交互成为一个相互学习和参与的新机会。 公平的过程模型侧重于保健的关系。在此模型中，“正常”的质量改进方案有更多时间与病人，例如绩效奖励的边际变化并不一定有帮助。相反，改善供应商与病人的关系，并带入不同的专业知识的互动是可赚取差价。图3的五行，公平过程中的病人提供交互，提供了一个公平的过程在诊所的模式人照顾。 <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig3.jpg" alt="图3" /> 图3的病人提供交互（范德Heyden，布隆德尔，Carlock，2005年，Chilingerian 2006年;洛伦茨，2007年）的五要素公平的过程 。 运用公平的进程中，为脑损伤患者的护理：鼓励对话和接触有共650大脑有关的疾病，它们共同影响更长远的医疗费用和住院比几乎所有其他合并疾病（博伊尔2001年）50万美国人每年帐户。获得性脑损伤是任何损伤的大脑在认知，身体，情感，或独立运作（雪利酒2006）恶化的结果。创伤性脑损伤（TBI）是由钝力外伤，或电击头部引起的伤害。在美国，每年有140万新TBIS诊断在紧急情况下，并承担每年48美元至56美元亿美元（彰等，2004）成本。据估计，有530万美国人的生活造成脑外伤（约2％的人口）的残疾人，和80000至90000人加入他们的人数每年（彰等人，2005 年彰等人，2004年）。另有500万美国人患有脑损伤，由于中风（ACBIS书）。正如图4年发病率（TBI）的，脑外伤的影响越来越多的美国人每年比多发性硬化症，脊髓损伤，艾滋病毒/艾滋病，并结合乳腺癌。 <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig4.jpg" alt="图4" /> 图4年发病率（TBI） 脑损伤可影响幸存者的生活的许多方面，从认知机能，情感，心理，和物理福祉，自尊，能力，以工作和参与的社会，社会经济地位，并认识自我（张伯伦2006年，美国国立卫生研究院，1998年）。任何脑损伤时，即使确诊为“温和的”，表示，任何是短暂的意识丧失，可能有严重，长期的后果。例如，脑损伤幸存者可能有所减缓处理速度，在他们的大脑，麻烦重点或集中，短期记忆问题，这些挑战变得容易受挫。他们可能会很容易疲劳，影响他们的工作能力。通信问题，包括失语，可能是一个问题（ 莱文等人，2007年）。通常情况下，患者看起来是一样的，以往任何时候都内，它们是不同的，和他们的伤害是无形的。图5在冰上的运行提供了一个例子是什么样的生活与脑损伤从参与者的角度如下： <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig5.jpg" alt="图5" /> 图5，就像上运行冰从临床角度讲，脑损伤可能会造成混淆。有没有俗套的解决方案，并每个病人的伤害和治疗是不同的。质量意味着调整治疗计划，以个人。然而，脑损伤的认知挑战可能会影响病人的能力，以反映他们的情况，请记住重要的信息，并在临床上进行通信。这些挑战需要一个创造性的方法，了解脑损伤患者的角度对他们的疾病和保健的经验。问颅脑损伤患者，以反映他们的生活，他们的情况下拍摄照片，并使用他们的照片，来传达他们的的挑战和优势，是在行动过程公平的一个例子。 使用可视化的方法来了解生活经验可视化方法在公共卫生环境（2009年洛伦兹和科尔布;王和伯里斯1997年）的应用越来越广泛使用和接受。可视化方法通常用于案例研究的研究（尹2003年），和疾病的经验调查（洛伦茨2010B; Berland 2007年，2003年Radley和泰勒;丰富，戈登，并Chalfen 2000）。作为社会科学的数据接受的视觉形象，包括图纸，照片，视频，图表，地图（Guillemin 2004 年，奥克利等人1995年）。视觉的方法，在支持与患者沟通减缓认知处理速度和失语（ 莱文等人2007年）。他们可以鼓励患者探索和唤起的情绪，从而补充的临床方法，使用的统计数据，并鼓励提高他们的健康和卫生保健病人参与（Entwistle，Tritter，和Calnan 2002年），测量他们的问题。照片引出和photovoice如参与视觉的方法，让病人临床带入他们的专业知识，并教医生（洛伦茨2010A; Chalfen和丰富的2004年）。 有些人认为，患者的经验性知识必然是有限的，应该不是Be将医疗知识（2003年之前）相提并论。然而，疾病和疾病的专业的理解也有限，需要考虑患者的理解以及他们的健康和卫生保健。使用参与性的可视化方法是一种方法，产生更广泛的背景下，在临床护理嵌套的认识，并制定一个知识共享的机构，整合了医生和患者（2009年Lorenz和科尔布）的专业知识。 例如，神经心理学家乔治Prigatano（1989）长期以来一直呼吁临床医生了解他们的病人经历，并认为，发展中国家从现实生活隔离病人的治疗计划，可能会削弱该计划的相关性。在工作​​与大脑受伤的病人，是在要求有自己的视频录音Prigatano执行重建任务，要求她画一个图片如何，她感觉她和她的伤害。的愤怒和不安创建此图，在图4，允许病人讨论她的恐惧和建立一种积极的关系，与医生Prigatano的治疗，部分灵感这个视频期刊论文中所描述的研究和程序。 <img src="/files/ftp_upload/2342/2342fig6.jpg" alt="图6" /> 图6：由脑损伤幸存者。由牛津大学出版社，Page.112，图7-1许可使用的“脑损伤后的赤字意识：临床和理论问题” <a href="http://www.oup.com">。</a> www.oup由George P.

Development of an Audio-based Virtual Gaming Environment to Assist with Navigation Skills in the Blind

Audio-based Environment Simulator (AbES) is virtual environment software designed to improve real world navigation skills in the blind. Using only audio based cues and set within the context of a video game metaphor, users gather relevant spatial information regarding a building's layout. This allows the user to develop an accurate spatial cognitive map of a large-scale three-dimensional space that can be manipulated for the purposes of a real indoor navigation task. After game play, participants are then assessed on their ability to navigate within the target physical building represented in the game. Preliminary results suggest that early blind users were able to acquire relevant information regarding the spatial layout of a previously unfamiliar building as indexed by their performance on a series of navigation tasks. These tasks included path finding through the virtual and physical building, as well as a series of drop off tasks. We find that the immersive and highly interactive nature of the AbES software appears to greatly engage the blind user to actively explore the virtual environment. Applications of this approach may extend to larger populations of visually impaired individuals.

Dynamic Visual Tests to Identify and Quantify Visual Damage and Repair Following Demyelination in Optic Neuritis Patients

In order to follow optic neuritis patients and evaluate the effectiveness of their treatment, a handy, accurate and quantifiable tool is required to assess changes in myelination at the central nervous system (CNS). However, standard measurements, including routine visual tests and MRI scans, are not sensitive enough for this purpose. We present two visual tests addressing dynamic monocular and binocular functions which may closely associate with the extent of myelination along visual pathways. These include Object From Motion (OFM) extraction and Time-constrained stereo protocols. In the OFM test, an array of dots compose an object, by moving the dots within the image rightward while moving the dots outside the image leftward or vice versa. The dot pattern generates a camouflaged object that cannot be detected when the dots are stationary or moving as a whole. Importantly, object recognition is critically dependent on motion perception. In the Time-constrained Stereo protocol, spatially disparate images are presented for a limited length of time, challenging binocular 3-dimensional integration in time. Both tests are appropriate for clinical usage and provide a simple, yet powerful, way to identify and quantify processes of demyelination and remyelination along visual pathways. These protocols may be efficient to diagnose and follow optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis patients.
In the diagnostic process, these protocols may reveal visual deficits that cannot be identified via current standard visual measurements. Moreover, these protocols sensitively identify the basis of the currently unexplained continued visual complaints of patients following recovery of visual acuity. In the longitudinal follow up course, the protocols can be used as a sensitive marker of demyelinating and remyelinating processes along time. These protocols may therefore be used to evaluate the efficacy of current and evolving therapeutic strategies, targeting myelination of the CNS.

Object From Motion (OFM) and Time-constrained stereo protocols are sensitive tools to identify monocular and binocular dynamic visual function deficits, which are uniquely affected in optic neuritis patients. Furthermore, these tests may be used as quantitative noninvasive tools to assess the extent of myelination along visual pathways.

Catheterization of the Carotid Artery and Jugular Vein to Perform Hemodynamic Measures, Infusions and Blood Sampling in a Conscious Rat Model

The success of a small animal model to study critical illness is, in part, dependent on the ability of the model to simulate the human condition. Intra-tracheal inoculation of a known amount of bacteria has been successfully used to reproduce the pathogenesis of pneumonia which then develops into sepsis. Monitoring hemodynamic parameters and providing standard clinical treatment including infusion of antibiotics, fluids and drugs to maintain blood pressure is critical to simulate routine supportive care in this model but to do so requires both arterial and venous vascular access. The video details the surgical technique for implanting carotid artery and common jugular vein catheters in an anesthetized rat. Following a 72 hr recovery period, the animals will be re-anesthetized and connected to a tether and swivel setup attached to the rodent housing which connects the implanted catheters to the hemodynamic monitoring system. This setup allows free movement of the rat during the study while continuously monitoring pressures, infusing fluids and drugs (antibiotics, vasopressors) and performing blood sampling.

Vascular accesses to measure hemodynamics, provide fluids and perform blood sampling are important to any small animal model study. We present a technique for implanting catheters into the carotid artery and the common jugular vein in an anesthetized rat for connecting to a system to perform monitoring, infusions and sampling.

Instillation and Fixation Methods Useful in Mouse Lung Cancer Research

The ability to instill live agents, cells, or chemicals directly into the lung without injuring or killing the mice is an important tool in lung cancer research. Although there are a number of methods that have been published showing how to intubate mice for pulmonary function measurements, none are without potential problems for rapid tracheal instillation in large cohorts of mice. In the present paper, a simple and quick method is described that enables an investigator to carry out such instillations in an efficient manner. The method does not require any special tools or lighting and can be learned with very little practice. It involves anesthetizing a mouse, making a small incision in the neck to visualize the trachea, and then inserting an intravenous catheter directly. The small incision is quickly closed with tissue adhesive, and the mice are allowed to recover. A skilled student or technician can do instillations at an average rate of 2 min/mouse. Once the cancer is established, there is frequently a need for quantitative histologic analysis of the lungs. Traditionally pathologists usually do not bother to standardize lung inflation during fixation, and analyses are often based on a scoring system that can be quite subjective. While this may sometime be sufficiently adequate for gross estimates of the size of a lung tumor, any proper stereological quantification of lung structure or cells requires a reproducible fixation procedure and subsequent lung volume measurement. Here we describe simple reliable procedures for both fixing the lungs under pressure and then accurately measuring the fixed lung volume. The only requirement is a laboratory balance that is accurate over a range of 1 mg&#8211;300 g. The procedures presented here thus could greatly improve the ability to create, treat, and analyze lung cancers in mice.

The goal of this paper is to describe simple methods that will greatly aid in the setup and analysis of mouse lungs with lung cancer or other pathologies. We present 3 protocols to simply and reliably carry out lung instillations, fixation, and lung volume measurements.

A Model to Simulate Clinically Relevant Hypoxia in Humans

In case of apnea, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) decreases, while partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) increases. To avoid damage to hypoxia sensitive organs such as the brain, compensatory circulatory mechanisms help to maintain an adequate oxygen supply. This is mainly achieved by increased cerebral blood flow. Intermittent hypoxia is a commonly seen phenomenon in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Acute airway obstruction can also result in hypoxia and hypercapnia. Until now, no adequate model has been established to simulate these dynamics in humans. Previous investigations focusing on human hypoxia used inhaled hypoxic gas mixtures. However, the resulting hypoxia was combined with hyperventilation and is therefore more representative of high altitude environments than of apnea. Furthermore, the transferability of previously performed animal experiments to humans is limited and the pathophysiological background of apnea induced physiological changes is poorly understood. In this study, healthy human apneic divers were utilized to mimic clinically relevant hypoxia and hypercapnia during apnea. Additionally, pulse-oximetry and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) were used to evaluate changes in cerebral and peripheral oxygen saturation before, during, and after apnea.

Hypoxia simulation in humans has usually been performed by inhaling hypoxic gas mixtures. For this study, apneic divers were used to simulate dynamic hypoxia in humans. Additionally, physiological changes in desaturation and re-saturation kinetics were evaluated with non-invasive tools such as Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy (NIRS) and peripheral oxygenation saturation (SpO2).

A Clinical Trial Assessing the Safety, Efficacy, and Delivery of Olive-Oil-Based Three-Chamber Bags for Parenteral Nutrition

Limited evidence exists to precisely estimate efficacy and safety differences between parenteral nutrition (PN) prepared using olive-oil-based three-chamber bags (3CBs) and soybean-oil-based compounded bags (CoBs) in hospitalized adult patients. We designed a multicenter, randomized, prospective, open-label, noninferiority protocol to compare the efficacy, safety, and distribution of olive-oil-based 3CBs and soybean-oil-based CoB formulations in adult Chinese patients requiring PN during surgical intervention. Subjects were randomized to receive either one of the study treatments using an interactive voice or web-based recognition system in accordance with the randomization code. Randomization was further stratified based on the study site and surgical category. Both treatment groups received similar amounts of calories and protein. In addition, the two study treatments contained a similar composition of the amino-acid component. The only difference between the two PN formulations was the lipid constitution. The duration of administration of study treatments was a minimum of 5 days up to a maximum of 14 days after the surgical procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint was serum prealbumin levels on day 5 of the study. Noninferiority was proved if the anti-log of the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the treatment difference was at least 0.80. Other efficacy measures included treatment preparation time; duration to achieve tolerability of oral nutrition; associated infectious complications; length of hospitalization; and laboratory assessment of markers of nutrition, inflammation, metabolism, and oxidative stress. A total of 458 patients were enrolled in the study. The results showed that olive-oil-based 3CBs were non-inferior to soybean-based CoBs, besides being well tolerated. The infection rate was found to be significantly lower in the olive-oil-based 3CB group. Thus, this study may be used as a reference for future research on lipid emulsion and 3CBs.

Here, we present a protocol for a study comparing the efficacy, safety, and delivery of olive-oil-based 3CB and soybean-oil-based CoB formulations in adults requiring parenteral nutrition. The results revealed that olive-oil-based 3CBs is non-inferior and well tolerated compared to soybean formulations.

Observational Study Protocol for Repeated Clinical Examination and Critical Care Ultrasonography Within the Simple Intensive Care Studies

Longitudinal evaluations of critically ill patients by combinations of clinical examination, biochemical analysis and critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) may detect adverse events of interventions such as fluid overload at an early stage. The Simple Intensive Care Studies (SICS) is a research line that focuses on the prognostic and diagnostic value of combinations of clinical variables.
The SICS-I specifically focused on the use of clinical variables obtained within 24 h of acute admission for prediction of cardiac output (CO) and mortality. Its sequel, SICS-II, focuses on repeated evaluations during ICU admission. The first clinical examination by trained researchers is performed within 3 h after admission consisting of physical examination and educated guessing. The second clinical examination is performed within 24 h after admission and includes physical examination and educated guessing, biochemical analysis and CCUS assessments of heart, lungs, inferior vena cava (IVC) and kidney. This evaluation is repeated at days 3 and 5 after admission. CCUS images are validated by an independent expert, and all data is registered in an online secured database. Follow-up at 90 days includes registration of complications and survival status according to patient&#39;s medical charts and the municipal person registry. The primary focus of SICS-II is the association between venous congestion and organ dysfunction.
The purpose of publishing this protocol is to provide details on the structure and methods of this on-going prospective observational cohort study allowing answering multiple research questions. The design of the data collection of combined clinical examination and CCUS assessments in critically ill patients are explicated. The SICS-II is open for other centers to participate and is open for other research questions that can be answered with our data.

Structured protocols are necessary to provide answers on research questions in critically ill patients. The Simple Intensive Care Studies (SICS) provides an infrastructure for repeated measurements in critically ill patients including clinical examination, biochemical analysis and ultrasonography. SICS projects have specific focus but the structure is flexible to other investigations.

Clinical Practice Protocol of Creative Music Therapy for Preterm Infants and Their Parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Creative music therapy for preterm infants and their parents (CMT) has emerged as a promising family-integrated early intervention involving communicative musicality to improve infant development, parental well-being, and bonding. It aims at relaxing and nurturing the infant as well as promoting safety and social interaction for the parent-infant dyad. A music therapist specially trained in CMT hums or sings in an infant-directed, improvised, lullaby style continually adjusting to the individual needs, expressions, and breathing pattern of the preterm infant. Based on the principles of family-integrated care, the family is incorporated individually in the therapeutic process, namely by delivering CMT during kangaroo care (KC) and by motivating and facilitating parental vocal interaction with their infant to strengthen the parent-infant bonding. CMT aims at relaxing, stimulating, and coregulating premature infants at a time when many other interventions are still risky and can overwhelm the vulnerable patient group. CMT may be advantageous not by educating and teaching parents, but rather by uncovering the intuitive capacities of parenting that are often overshadowed by the traumatic experience of preterm birth. However, CMT can only be provided when the infants are clinically stable. CMT with parental integration is feasible when parents are available and receptive to participate. This paper presents a detailed protocol on how to use CMT to empower preterm infants and their families.

Assessment of Static Graviceptive Perception in the Roll-Plane using the Subjective Visual Vertical Paradigm

Vestibular disorders are among the most common syndromes in medicine. In recent years, new vestibular diagnostic systems have been introduced that allow the examination of all semicircular canals in the clinical setting. Assessment methods of the otolithic system, which is responsible for the perception of linear acceleration and perception of gravity, are far less in clinical use. There are several experimental approaches for measuring the perception of gravity. The most frequently used method is the determination of the subjective visual vertical. This is usually measured with the head in an upright position. We present here an assessment method for testing otolith function in the roll plane. The subjective visual vertical is measured in the head upright position as well as with head inclination of &#177; 15&#176; and &#177; 30&#176; in the roll plane. This extended functional paradigm is an easy-to-perform clinical test of otolith function and ensures increased information content for the detection of impaired graviceptive perception.

The perception of gravity is commonly determined by the subjective visual vertical in the head upright position. The additional assessment at head tilts of &#177; 15&#176; and &#177; 30&#176; in the roll plane ensures increased information content for the detection of impaired graviceptive perception.

Electroretinogram Recording for Infants and Children under Anesthesia to Achieve Optimal Dark Adaptation and International Standards

Electroretinogram (ERG) is the only clinical objective test available to assess retinal function. Full-field ERG (ffERG) measures the panretinal rod and cone photoreceptor function as well as inner retinal function and is an important measure in the diagnosis and management of inherited retinal diseases as well as inflammatory, toxic, and nutritional retinopathies. Adhering to international standards and maintaining retinal dark adaptation are critical to acquire valid and reliable dark-adapted (scotopic) and light-adapted (photopic) ffERG responses. Performing ffERG in infants and children is challenging and often requires general anesthesia in the operating room. However, maintaining retinal dark adaptation in the operating room is becoming increasingly difficult given the numerous light sources from anesthesiology monitoring systems and other equipment. A practical and widely applicable method for ffERG testing is described in the operating room that optimizes retinal dark adaptation. The method reduces operating room time by dark-adapting the patient before general anesthesiology is instituted. The operating room is modified for dark adaptation and any remaining light source in the darkened operating room is minimized with the use of a modified portable foldable darkroom that encloses the patient&#8217;s head and the ERG examiner during ffERG scotopic recordings. The simple method adheres to ffERG international standards and provides valid reliable scotopic and photopic ffERG recordings that are critical to assess objective retinal function in this young age group where subjective assessment of visual function such as visual acuity and visual fields are not possible. Furthermore, the ffERG is the gold standard clinical test in detecting early onset inherited retinal diseases including Leber congenital amaurosis where approved gene therapy has become available. In sedated conditions, very low amplitude ffERG signals can be detected due to minimal orbicularis muscle activity interference, which is particularly relevant in patients after gene therapy to detect improved amplitude responses.

Adhering to international standards and maintaining retinal dark adaptation are critical to acquire valid full-field electroretinogram responses in the diagnosis and management of inherited retinal diseases. A practical protocol using a portable darkroom is provided to obtain full-field&#160;electroretinogram for infants and children under sedation or general anesthesia in the operating room setting.
