Background: Anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries by means of the arterial switch operation is now accepted as the therapeutic method of choice. This retrospective study attempts to assess the results of the neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries performed by our newly established institution. Materials and methods: 33 consecutive neonates underwent the arterial switch operation between October 1991 to November 1997. There were 27 neonates with transposition and intact ventricular septum, 3 with ventricular septal defect, and 3 with Taussig-Bing anomaly. The mean age was 10.9$\pm$7.9 days and mean body weight was 3.29$\pm$0.44kg. Results: Overall postoperative hospital mortality was 30.3% (10 patients). The mortality has improved with time; 75% (6 patients) among first 8 consecutive patients before 1994, 20% (2 patients) among 10 patients in 1994 and 1995, and 13.3% (2 patients) among 15 patients since 1996. Univariated analysis of risk factors revealed that earlier date of the operations and one of preoperative events were determinants for operative death. There were two late deaths. A mean follow-up of 17.4$\pm$16.5 months was achieved in all 21 survivors. All were in New York Heart Association functional class I. One patient had mild pulmonary stenosis and two had mild aortic valve regurgitation on their echocardiography. Conclusions: We concluded that we should continue to perform arterial switch operation for neonates with transposition of the great arteries because the mortality of the operation has been improved and the operative survivors have good functional results with low incidence of late complications.

Background: Recent progress in the surgical therapy for lung cancer is one of the best examples of the successful evolution of clinical medicine. We reviewed our experience to evaluate the surgical outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Material and Method: We reviewed clinical records of 432 consecutive patients with proven non-small cell lung cancer who underwent complete removal of the primary tumor together with hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes from 1995 to 2005. The clinical characteristics, surgical methods, and recurrence patterns were analyzed. Result: Lobectomy was the most common procedure (66.7%) performed and sleeve lobectomy was the least (5.6%). In 179 patients (42.6%) the recurrence was noted and the regional recurrence (67 cases, 16.0%) was less than systemic recurrence (112 cases, 26.7%). The main sites of regional recurrence were hilum (25 cases, 37.3%) and ipsilateral mediastinum (54/432 cases, 25.4%). The hospital mortality rate was 2.8% (12/432 cases) and resection-morbidity rate was 12.5% (54/432 cases). Conclusion: The low recurrence rate, especially regional recurrence rate indicated that our surgical procedures with preoperative measures were considered useful and effective.

배경: 매복지치의 수술적 발치 시 propofol과 remifentanil을 이용한 목표조절농도주입(Target controlled infusion) 의식하 정주진정법의 적절한 주입농도를 제시하고 그 안전성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 매복지치의 수술적 발치가 예정된 미국마취학회 신체 등급 분류 1, 2에 속하는 15-65세, 142명(여 83명, 남 59명)의 환자를 대상으로 소급 연구하였다. 환자는 수술 전 목표조절농도주입법을 이용한 의식하 진정법 사용에 관한 동의서를 작성하였다. 정맥내 삽관을 시행하고 수액을 공급을 시작하고, 4-5 L/min의 산소를 비관을 통해서 공급하였다. Propofol과 remifentanil의 초기 목표 혈중농도는 각각 $0.5\;{\mu}g/ml$와 1.0 ng/ml로 정하였다. 수술 중, 환자의 불안 통증 정도에 따라 목표농도를 조절하였으며 최저 농도와 최대 농도, 평균 농도, 주입된 총 용량을 기록하였다. 또한 수축기혈압과 맥박 수, 산소포화도, 호기 말 이산화탄소량을 수술 시작 전, 수술 중 5분 간격으로 확인하고 기록하였다. 모든 측정치는 평균 $\pm$ 표준편차나 환자의 수, 초기 측정치에서의 백분율 편차로 표시하였다. 결과: 수술 동안의 목표 혈중농도의 평균은 propofol은 $0.54{\pm}0.11\;{\mu}g/ml$이고, remifentanil은 $1.11{\pm}0.30\;ng/ml$였다. 수술 중 조절된 최대농도는 propofol은 $0.6{\pm}0.23\;{\mu}g/ml$이고, remifentanil은 $1.3{\pm}0.63\;ng/ml$였다. 이는 의식하 진정에 해당되는 범의의 농도라고 할 수 있겠다. 진정동안 환자의 언어적 의사소통은 유지 되었으며 산소 포화도는 4-5 L/min 의 산소 보충 하에 98%이상으로 유지되었다. 수축기 혈압과 맥박은 대부분의 환자에서 정상변위범위(${\pm}20%$)내에서 유지되었다. 결론: 본 연구는 목표조절 농도주입 의식하 진정에서 사용된 농도(propofol $0.5\;{\mu}g/ml$, remifentanil 1.0 ng/ml)는 안전하게 의식하 진정을 가능한 것을 보여준다. 이는 치과 치료 시 목표조절농도 주입의식하 진정법에서 적절한 목표농도를 제시한다.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS) is a common disease in the field of otorhinolaryngology and is characterized by repeated upper airway occlusions occurring during sleep. OSAS can occur due to various etiologies of the nasal, oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal airway in adults. Nasal obstruction can be caused by septal deviation, nasal polyps, concha bullosa, choanal atresia, neoplasms, foreign body, postoperative/post-traumatic synechiae, various rhinitis and so on. There are various kinds of surgical treatment of OSAS including nasal surgery, LAUP, UPPP, surgery of tongue base, tracheostomy and so on, but the effect of nasal surgery on snoring and OSAS is controversial. The authors report the case of a patient who had experienced nasal obstruction, moderate snoring and OSAS and who improved after septoplasty and turbinoplasty.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) examination identifies the damage caused to the nervous system during surgery. This method is applied in various surgeries to validate the procedure being performed, and proceed with confidence. The assessment is conducted in an operating room, using subdermal needle electrodes to optimize the examination. There are no textbooks or guides for the correct stimuli and recording areas for the surgical laboratory test. This article provides a detailed description of the correct stimuli and recording parts in motor evoked potential (MEP), somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and visual evoked potentials (VEP). Free-running Electromyography (EMG) is an observation of the EMG that occurs in the muscle, wherein the functional state of most cranial nerves and spinal nerve roots is determined. In order to help understand the test, an image depicting the inserting subdermal needle electrodes into each of the muscles, is attached. Furthermore, considering both the patient and the examiner, a safe method is suggested for removal of electrodes after conclusion of the test.

The synchronous primary lung cancer is very rare cancer, proportion of synchronous lung cancer is about 1∼2% of total lung cancer, When pathologic type is same, preoperative diagnosis is very difficult and it may be misdiagnosed as lung to lung metastasis. We have experienced synchronous primary lung cancer of heterogenous squamous cell carcinoma.

전신 마취 수술 중 저혈압의 발생은 다양한 합병증을 유발하며 이를 사전에 예측하여 대응하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SHAP 모델을 통해 변수 선택을 진행하고, Transformer 모델을 이용해 저혈압 발생 여부를 예측함으로써 임상적 의사결정을 지원한다. 또한 기존 연구들과는 달리, 수술실에서 수집되는 데이터를 기반으로 하여 높은 범용성을 가진다. 비침습적 혈압 예측에서 RMSE 9.46, MAPE 4.4%를 달성하였고, 저혈압 여부를 예측에서는 저혈압 기준 F1-Score 0.75로 우수한 결과를 얻었다.

최근 견관절 질환의 상당수가 관절경 수술로 이루어지고 있다. 좌체위(beath chair position)를 이용한 관절경 수술은 시술 중 관헐적 방법으로의 전환이 용이하고 공간에 대한 orientation을 쉽게 잡을 수 있어 선호되고 있다. 또한 관절경 수술 시 시야 확보를 위해 epinephrine을 혼합한 세척액이 통상적으로 사용되고 있다. 관절경 수술 시 심부 정맥 혈전증(deep vein thrombosis), 가스 색전증, 세척액에 사용하는 epinephrine에 의한 심실성 빈맥 등과 같은 치명적인 부작용이 가끔 보고되어 있다. 관절경하 견관절 수술 도중 심실 빈맥의 발생은 매우 드문 경우이며 이에 대한 보고도 거의 없는 상태이다. 저자들은 2주의 기간 동안 좌체위로 관절경하 견관절 수술을 하는 도중 갑작스럽게 발생한 심실 빈맥 2예를 경험하였기에 원인 및 치료 과정을 보고하고자 한다. 좌체위로 인한 뇌혈류 저하, 가스 색전증 등의 증세는 없었다. 관절경술 도중 세척액에 투입된 소량의 epinephrine이 동시에 체내로 급속히 유입되어 심실 빈맥이 왔으리라 추정하고 있으며, 실험을 통해 이를 증명하고자 하였다.

Frameless method in brain radiosurgery has advantages relative to rigid head-frame method in terms of patient friendly and flexible application of multi-fractionation. However, it has also disadvantages and the most negative point is that it cannot control the patient motion during treatment as lowly as the level of the frame-based radiosurgery, which could affect to the treatment accuracy. In the present study, we analyzed the geometric uncertainty of the intra-fraction motion using the actual treatment records of 294-CyberKnife treatments for brain tumors. Based on the analysis, we statistically presented the magnitude of intra-fraction motion in frameless radiosurgy. The result could provide the quantitative information to determine the adequate treatment margins to compensate the intra-fraction movements.
