To evaluate the anesthetic effects of flurbiprofen axetil combined with propofol on patients with liver cancer receiving microwave ablation. ⋯ Flurbiprofen axetil in combination with propofol exert evident anesthetic effects on patients with liver cancer receiving microwave ablation. The time of preoperative anesthesia induction and postoperative recovery time can be markedly shortened, and intraoperative vital signs can be maintained stable. This method is thus worthy of clinical promotion.

We performed a prospective analysis at our center to find out the most common organisms causing bacterial infections to establish pattern of antibiotic resistance, in order to combat febrile neutropenia effectively in the terms of outcome as well as cost. ⋯ The choice of empirical antibiotic regimen should be based on local spectrum of bacteria and their regional susceptibility pattern to improve the survival and minimize hospital stay of patients.
