Observational Study[The impact of goal directed analgesia on mechanical ventilated patients's outcomes in intensive care unit: a clinical observational study].
To investigate the impact of goal directed analgesia on the outcome of patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit. A total of 126 patients who needed mechanical ventilation were recruited. With a method of before and after paired comparison, they were divided into two group: (1) analgesia with empirical administration or control group; (2) goal directed analgesia based on critical-care pain observation tool (CPOT). ⋯ The mean ventilator duration was significantly shortened from (168.49±11.41) h to (142.38±13.24) h(P<0.05). ICU length of stay was significantly shortened from (23.64±9.26) d to (19.63±8.46) d(P<0.05). Due to the mild sedation, patients receiving goal directed analgesia report less delirium, less ventilation time and shorter ICU length of stay, suggesting that the general outcome is improved.

[Long-term outcome and prognostic factors in pregnant women with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease].
Objective: To investigate the perinatal outcome, risk factors and long-term outcome of pregnancy complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) and congenital heart diseases (CHD). Methods: Clinical data of 110 pregnant women who were diagnosed as PAH-CHD were retrospectively analyzed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2004 to 2013. The survival and treatment status were followed up. ⋯ Conclusions: Perinatal mortality and the incidence of maternal and fetal adverse events were high in pregnancy with PAH-CHD. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure is a major risk factor for perioperative mortality in pregnant women. PAH-CHD woman had good overall outcome after puerperium.
