Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of oriental treatments and rehabilitation on a patient with organic mental disorder after head trauma caused by traffic accident. Methods: We treated the patient with acupuncture, herb-medication, oriental psychotherapy, and rehabilitation. MMSE-K, BDI, K-MBI, FIM were evaluated before and after treatment. Results: The results indicated that MMSE-K was maintained at 27 points; BDI was reduced from 16 points to 5 points; K-MBI was increased from 75 points to 99 points; and FIM was increased from 86 points to 115 points. Furthermore, the treatment resulted in reduced mental symptoms and improved work capacity.

The common causes of neck closed injuries are automobile accidents and sports troubles; open injuries are gun-shot wounds and stab wounds. Generally, the treatment of wide laryngopharyngeal injuries consists of tracheostomy for adequate airway, simple repair and, later, surgical intervention for chronic laryngeal stenosis and hypopharyngeal reconstruction. Recently, authors experienced a case of extensive communicated wound with large defect on the layngopharyngeal structures and anterior neck skin. This large defect was reconstructed with horizontal cervical skin flap after total laryngectomy.

Cervical tracheal rupture is one of the rare injuries after blunt chest trauma, and this can be explained by several mechanisms. Early diagnosis and treatment of tracheal rupture after trauma can reduce the mortality and morbidity. We report here on a surgical experienced case of complete rupture of the cervical tracheal that was due to increased intra-tracheal pressure after a compression injury to the chest of an 8 years old child. We also include a review of the literature.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between injury and injury severity score (ISS) in geriatric traffic accident patients transported by 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Methods: The subjects were 240 traffic accident patients over 65 years old transported by 119 rescue services emergency departments in Busan from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015. Results: ISS increased in motorcycle traffic accidents (p=.026), truck injuries (p=.005), and head and neck injury (p<.001). Vital signs were evaluated by 119 rescue EMT. ISS increased in cases of unresponsive unconsciousness (p<.001), hypotension (p=.001), and bradycardia (p<.001). The need for bleeding control and dressing by the EMTs increased ISS significantly (p=.022). Conclusion: In the initial evaluation of geriatric traffic patients, ISS can increase in motor cycle accidents and truck injuries. Due to high ISS, patients with head and neck injury, chest injury, hypotension, or tachycardia should be transferred to advanced level hospitals.

구강저를 통한 기관내 삽관은 1986년 Altemir에 의해 처음 소개된 바 있는데 그 후 1993년 Hoenig와 Braun 및 같은 해 Stoll 등에 의해서나, 또는 1996년 Prochno 등에 의해 계속 변형된 방법으로 문헌에서 기술되어 왔다. 이 방법은 치과 영역 특히 구강악안면외과의 외상수술시 이상적인 교합을 얻기 위해 임시 상하악간 고정(intermaxillary fixation)을 할 수 있고 중안모 골절(midface fracture)의 회복을 위한 비관 삽관의 불편함을 피할 수 있는 유리한 점이 있으며, 또한, 정복 및 고정술이 필요한 비골 골절(nasal bone fracture)에서나 두개기저골 골절(skull base fracture)에서 여러 감염 등 합병증을 피하기 위해 추천될 수 있다. 또한, 목 부위에 비심미적인 반흔을 만들게 되며 여러 합병증을 초래할 수 있는 기관절개술(tracheostomy)보다 유용할 수 있다. 본 증례보고에서는 교통사고로 두개기저부 골절을 동반한 심한 중안모 골절 환자에서 적용시킨 경우를 알아보고, 아울러 이러한 악하부 삽관의 장, 단점 및 시술 과정 등에 대해 고찰해보고자 한다.

Methods 77 traffic accidents patients with night pain were treated with Dangguisoo-san plus Yuhyangjeongtong-san (Dangguixu-san plus Ruxiangdingtong-san), acupuncture, cupping, physical therapy. VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), NDI (Neck Disability Index), ODI (Oswestry disability index), total sleep time, the number of bed time arousal were checked to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Results VAS, NDI, ODI of patients treated with Dangguisoo-san plus Yuhyangjeongtong-san (Dangguixu-san plus Ruxiangdingtong-san) were all improved and there were statistical significance (p<0.05). Total sleep time, the number of bed time arousal of patients treated with Dangguisoo-san plus Yuhyangjeongtong-san (Dangguixu-san plus Ruxiangdingtong-san) were all improved and there were statistical significance (p<0.05).

The Silicone tracheal T-tube was designed to maintain an adequate tracheal airway as well as to provide support in the stenotic reconstituted or reconstructed trachea. This report is our experiences with using silicone T-tube which were successfully used to two cases with extensive laryngotracheal trauma, and one case with decannulation difficulty for 9 months. Authors strongly believe that silicone T-tube is an excellent device out of consideration for our experienced cases, though many techniques have been applied for the treatments of tracheal problems.
