目的:评估膀胱压力(BP)测量作为急腹症诊断工具的临床价值。方法:选取在我院外科治疗的患者,根据病情分为两组:一组为325例急腹症患者,对照组为50例进行腹腔镜手术的患者。在治疗前测量患者腹内压力。患者采用仰卧位,将50 m L无菌生理...目的:评估膀胱压力(BP)测量作为急腹症诊断工具的临床价值。方法:选取在我院外科治疗的患者,根据病情分为两组:一组为325例急腹症患者,对照组为50例进行腹腔镜手术的患者。在治疗前测量患者腹内压力。患者采用仰卧位,将50 m L无菌生理盐水缓慢注射到膀胱中,待排光后检测BP。将导管同水压计连接,以耻骨联合处为参考点。将BP值大于10 cm H2O,作为诊断急腹症的标准。结果:BP诊断急腹症的灵敏度为94.4%,特异性为79%,阳性预测值为95.9%,阴性预测值为71.7%,精确度为92.3%。结论:腹内压(IAP)升高可以作为急性腹痛的诊断工具。BP检测有助于临床医生在试验室检查或影像学检查结果有限时对患者病情进行评估。展开更多

METHODS: Thirty adult patients after elective repair of ventral hernia were enrolled into this prospective study.IAP monitoring was performed via both a balloontipped nasogastric probe [intragastric pressure(IGP), Ci MON, Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany] and a urinary catheter [intrabladder pressure(IBP), Uno Meter Abdo-Pressure Kit, Uno Medical, Denmark] on five consecutive stages:(1) after tracheal intubation(AI);(2) after ventral hernia repair;(3) at the end of surgery;(4) during spontaneous breathing trial through the endotracheal tube; and(5) at 1 h after tracheal extubation. The patients were in the complete supine position during all study stages.RESULTS: The IAP(measured via both techniques) increased on average by 12% during surgery compared to AI(P < 0.02) and by 43% during spontaneous breathing through the endotracheal tube(P < 0.01). In parallel, the gradient between РаСО2 and Et CO2 [Р(а-et)CO2] rose significantly, reaching a maximum during the spontaneous breathing trial. The PаO2/Fi O2 decreased by 30% one hour after tracheal extubation(P = 0.02). The dynamic compliance of respiratory system reduced intraoperatively by 15%-20%(P < 0.025). At all stages, we observed a significant correlation between IGP and IBP(r = 0.65-0.81, P < 0.01) with a mean bias varying from-0.19 mm Hg(2SD 7.25 mm Hg) to-1.06 mm Hg(2SD 8.04 mm Hg) depending on the study stage. Taking all paired measurements together(n = 133), the median IGP was 8.0(5.5-11.0) mm Hg and the median IBP was 8.8(5.8-13.1) mm Hg. The overall r2 value( n = 30) was 0.76(P < 0.0001). Bland and Altman analysis showed an overall bias for the mean values per patient of 0.6 mm Hg(2SD 4.2 mm Hg) with percentage error of 45.6%. Looking at changes in IAP between the different study stages, we found an excellent concordance coeff展开更多
