[Comparison of pulse oxygen saturation/fraction of inhaled oxygen and arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inhaled oxygen in the assessment of oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province].
To investigate and evaluate if pulse oxygen saturation/fraction of inhaled oxygen (SpO2/FiO2) can be used, as replacement of arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inhaled oxygen (PaO2/FiO2), to assess oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province, and to find a rapid and non-invasive method for the diagnosis of ARDS at different altitudes. ⋯ SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2 in ARDS patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province have a good correlation, and non-invasive SpO2/FiO2 can be used to replace PaO2/FiO2 to assess the oxygenation in ARDS patients.

[Value of procalcitonin and critical illness score in etiological diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis caused by intra-abdominal infections].
To compare the early and late predictive values of critical illness score (CIS) and procalcitonin (PCT) in septic patients with blood stream infection (BSI) induced by intra-abdominal infection (IAI), and to identify the value of PCT in etiological diagnosis. ⋯ PCT is more reliable in the identification of pathogen type among IAI induced sepsis with BSI, while APACHE II score may perform better in predicting early and late mortality.
