As the society is being industrialized, the fast-paced economic development that has caused substantial increase in cerebrovascular and coronary artery diseases and the industrial development and increased use of means of transportation have resulted in the rapid rise of incidents in external injuries as well. So the pubic has become acutely aware of the need for fast and effective emergency care delivery system. The goal of emergency care delivery system is to meet the emergency care needs of patients. The emergency care delivery system is seeking to efficiently satisfy the care needs of people. Therefore the purpose of this study is designed to develop an effective programs for emergency care delivery system in Korea. The following specific objectives were investigated. This emergency care delivery system must have the necessary man power, for transfering the patients, communication net work, and emergency care facilities. 1) Man power Emergency care requires n0t only specialized traning in the emergency treatment but also knowledge and experience i11 other related area, so emergency care personnel traning program should be designed in order to adapt to the specific need of emergency patients. It will be necessary to ensure professional personnel who aquires the sufficient traning and experience for emergency care and to look for legal basis. We have to develop re-educational programs for emergency nurse specialist. They should be received speciality of emergency nursing care so that they will work actively and positively in emergency part. Emergency medical doctor and nurse specialist should be given an education which is related in emergency and critical care. Emergency care personnel will continue to provide both acute and continuing care as partner with other medical team. 2) Transfering the patients. Successful management of pre-hospital care requires adequate traning for the emergency medical technician. Traning program should be required to participate in a actual first aids activites in order to have apportunities to acquire practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. The system of emergency medical technician should be remarkablly successful with first responder firefighters. Establishing this system must add necessary ambulances operating at any given time. It will be necessary to standardize the ambulance size and equipment. Ambulance should be arranged with each and every fire station. 3) Communication net work. The head office of emergency commumication network should be arranged with the head office of fire station in community. It is proposed that Hot-line system for emergency care should be introduce. High controlled ambulance and thirtial emergency center should simultaneously equip critical-line in order to communication with each other. Ordinary ambulance and secondary emergency facility should also simultaneously equip emergency-line in order to communication with each other. 4) Emergency care facilities. Primary emergency care facilities should be covered with the ambulatory emergency patients-minor illness and injuires. Secondary emergency care facilities should be covered with the emergency admission patients. Third emergency care center should be covered with the critical patients who need special treatments and operation. Secondary and third emergency care facilities should employ emergency medical doctor and emergency nurse specialist to treat in-patients with severe and acute illness and multiple injuires. It should be fashioned for a system of emergency facilities that meets emergency patients needs. Provide incentives for increased number of emergency care facilities with traning in personal/clinical emergency care. 5) Finance It is recommended to put the finance of a emergency care on a firm basis. The emergency care delivery system should be managed by the government or accreditted organizations. In order to facilitate this relevant program the fund is needed for more efficient and effective emergency researchs, service, programs, and policy. 6) Gaining understanding and co-operation of pubic It is also important to undertake pubic education to improve understanding of first aids and C. P. R of individuals, communities and business. It is proposed that teachers and health officers be certified in C. P. R. The C. P. R education can be powerful influence save lives. Lastly appropriate emergency care information must be provided to the pubic for assisting them in choosing emergency care.

본 연구는 아급성 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 컴퓨터화된 시각적 되먹임 균형 훈련 및 평가 장비인 space balance 3D와 기능적 검사인 tinetti mobility test (TMT)의 신뢰도 및 버그균형척도와의 동시타당도를 분석하기 위해 실시하였다. 아급성 뇌졸중 환자 총 23명을 대상으로 하였고 대상자에게 space balance 3D, TMT, 버그균형척도를 이용해 균형 능력 평가를 실시하였다. 검사-재검사간 신뢰도에서 space balance 3D의 정적균형과 동적균형은 중등도의 신뢰도를 보인반면, TMT의 세가지 점수와 버그균형척도는 높은 신뢰도를 보였다. 동시타당도에서 TMT의 세가지 점수, 버그균형척도, space balance 3D의 정적균형간에 각각 중등도의 유의한 (p<.01) 양의 상관관계를 보였다. TMT의 세가지 점수와 버그균형척도는 space balance 3D의 동적균형의 후좌측, 전좌측 방향과는 각각 유의한 (p<.05) 낮은 양의 상관관계를 보였지만 나머지 방향과는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 space balance 3D와 TMT의 균형 능력 평가는 아급성 뇌졸중 환자의 균형 능력을 평가하는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 보이나 space balance 3D의 동적균형 평가는 한계점이 있었다.

Objectives: This study reported about a patient with a right middle cerebral artery infarction whose gait disturbance was improved by Korean medicine treatment. Methods: The patient was treated with a Korean herbal medicine (Gami-yukmijihwang-tang) along with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and physical therapy. The treatment effect was evaluated with the manual muscle test (MMT) and the Korean version of the modified Barthel index (K-MBI). The gait of the patient was evaluated by a 10-m walk test (10MWT), the timed up and go (TUG) test, the functional ambulation profile (FAP) score, and the functional ambulatory category (FAC) score. Spatiotemporal parameters were evaluated using a walkway system (GAITRite®, CIR Systems, Inc., USA). Results: After 83 days of traditional Korean medicine treatment, the K-MBI and FAC scores improved from 50 to 70 and from 1 to 4, respectively. The 10MWT and TUG tests also improved from 24.86 to 16.66 sec and from 22.35 to 17.62 sec, respectively. GAITRite® measurements reflected gait improvements: the FAP score improved from 55 to 86 sec; the step time improved from 0.72 to 0.669 sec; the step length improved from 31.076 cm to 41.284 cm; the gait velocity improved from 42.8 cm/sec to 64.1 cm/sec; the cadence improved from 93.6 steps/min to 90.8 steps/min. No adverse effects resulting from treatment or evaluation occurred during the admission period. Conclusions: This study suggests that traditional Korean medicine treatment may reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life in patients with cerebral infarction.

Even though Korean medical law stipulates that number of patients attended by a nurse is 2.5 for hospitalization and 30 for ambulatory care, the number of patients cared by a nurse per day is much greater than the standard prescribed by the medical law. Current productivity of nurses is not desirable unless the quality of care is considered. And nursing manpower staffing based on neither current nurses' productivity nor standard of medical law cannot respond properly to dynamic situation of the medical services. Under this background, the necessity of more efficient management of nursing manpower occupying 1/3 of total hospital workers has been recognized by many nursing administrators. Many nursing researchers have studied to foretell the nursing manpower objectively on the basis of measured nursing workload according to patient classification as well. Most of These researches, however, have been conducted in the tertiary hospitals, so it is imperative to conduct other researches to predict necessary nursing manpower in the secondary and the primary hospitals. The study was performed to measure nursing workload and predict pertinent nursing manpower to a secondary hospital with 400beds. Nursing workload was surveyed using measuring tool for direct and indirect care hours in a surgical unit and a medical unit. Survey was conducted from Sep.10 to Sep.16 and from Oct.5 to Oct.11, 1994 respectively by two skilled nurses, Subjects were patients, patients' family members and nursing personnels. Results are follows : 1. Patient classification distributed as 22% of class I (mildly ill patient), 57% of class II (moderately ill patient), and 21% of class III (acutely ill patient) in the medical nursing unit, while 23% of class I, 29% of class II, 12% of class III, and 36% of classIV (critically ill patient) in the surgical nursing unit. There was no difference of inpatient number between weekday and weekend. Bed circulation rate was 89% in both units and average patients number per day was 37.4 (total 42beds) in the medical nursing unit, 32.9 (total 37beds) in the medical nursing unit. 2. Direct care hours per day measured as 2.8hrs for class I, 3.3hrs for class II, and 3.5hrs for class III in the medical nursing unit, while 3.1hrs for class I, 3hrs for class II, 2.7hrs for class III, and 2.2hrs for classIV in the surgical nursing unit. Meanwhile, hours for nursing assistant activities per patient by patients' family members were 11mins and 200mins respectively. Direct care hour rate by shift was day 36%, evening 25%, and night 39% in the medical nursing unit, while 40%, 29%, and and 31% respectively in the surgical nursing unit. 3. Measurement and observation activity held 44.2% of direct care activities of nurses and medication 36.7%, communication 11.7%, exercise 1.8%, treatment 1.3%, hygiene 1.3%, elimination and irrigation 1.1%, suction 1%, nutrition 0.5%, thermotherapy 0.3%, oxygen therapy 0.1% in order. 4. Indirect care hours per day were 294.2mins in the medical nursing unit, and 273.9mins in the surgical nursing unit. By shift, evening was the highest in both units. Indirect care hours for each patient were 44.5mins in the medical nursing unit and 46mins in the surgical nursing unit. 5. checking activities including doctor's order, medication, and delivering patients to the next shift occupied 39.7% of indirect care activities, and preparation 26%, recording 23.8%, communication and conference 6.7%, managing equipments 2.1%, messenger activity 1.7% in order. 6. On the ground of these results, nursing manpower needed in a secondary hospital was estimated ; 27 nursing personnels for the medical nursing unit of 37beds, and 20 nursing personnels for the surgical nursing unit of 33beds.

연구배경: 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들에서 동반될 수 있는 전신성 고혈압과 심부정백을 포함한 심혈관계 기능 부전은 장기사망률을 증가시키는 중요한 요인으로 생각되고 있다. 그러나 이들 환자에서 심혈관계 기능부전이 발생하는 병태생리학적 기전에 관한 정설은 확립 되지 못한 실정이다. 방 법: 저자들은 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자 29명과 대조군 25명을 대상으로 수면다원검사, 각성시와 수면 중 요 catecholamines 농도 측정, 24 시간 활동중 심전도 및 혈압 감시를 실시하여 자료를 비교 분석함으로써 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡이 전신성 혈압, 심조율 및 요 catecholamines 농도 변화에 미치는 영향을 이해하고자 하였다. 결 과: 1) 요 norepinephrine (UNE) 및 epinephrine(UEP) 농도는 페쇄성 수면 무호흡증후군환자와 대조군 모두에서 각성시에 비하여 수면중에 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.01). 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들의 수면중 UNE 농도는 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 높았으나(P<0.05), 각성시 UNE 농도는 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 두군 모두에서 전신성 고혈압의 동반 여부와 각성시 및 수면중 UNE 및 UEP 농도 상호간의 관련성은 없었다. 2) 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들에서는 수면 중 혈압 하강이 없는 경우 (non-dipper) 가 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았으나 대조군에 비하여 많은 경향을 보였으며(P=0.089), 수면중 혈압 하강의 유무와 전신성 고혈압의 동반 여부와는 상호 관련성이 없었다. 3) 전체 연구 대상에서 각성시 및 수면중 평균 수축기 혈압은 무호흡지수, 무호흡-저호흡지수, 수면중 최저 산소포화도, 수면중 산소 탈포화정도와 상호 관련성이 있었으며, 수면중 UNE 농도는 무호흡지수, 무호흡-저호흡지수, 수면중 최저 산소포화도 및 산소 탈포화정도, 수면중 평균 수축기 혈압과 관련성이 있었다. 4) 무호흡지수가 20 이상인 14명의 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들에서 무호흡 시기 동안의 섬박동수는 무호흡이 시작되기 전에 비하여 감소하였고, 무호흡이 끝나고 호흡이 재개되는 시기에는 우호흡이 시작되기 전에 비하여 유의한 증가를 보였으며 (P<0.01), 이러한 변화는 무호흡의 기간이 길수록 더욱 현저하였다 (P<0.01). 무호흡 시기와 무호흡이 끝나고 호흡이 재개되는 시기의 심박동수 차이 (${\Delta}HR$) 는 무호흡 발생 전후의 동맥혈 산소포화도의 차이 (${\Delta}SaO_2$)와 매우 유의한 상관관계를 보였다 (r=0.223, P<0.001). 5) 심부정맥의 발생 빈도는 두군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 대조군에서는 심실성 기외수축이 각성시에 비하여 수면중에 현저히 감소하였으나(P<0.05), 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들에서는 수면중에도 각성시와 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 증후군 환자들은 수면중에 무호홉, 저산소증 및 각성의 주기가 반복됨으로써 교감신경계 활성도의 변화가 초래될 수 있으며, 반복되는 저산소증과 교감신경계 활성도 증가는 전신성 혈압 및 심기능의 변화를 포함한 여러 가지 심혈관계 기능부전의 발생에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다.
