본 연구는 개에서 트라마돌의 정맥투여가 아이소플루란의 최소폐포농도 ($MAC_{ISO}$)에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 6마리의 암컷 저먼셰퍼드견이 본 실험에 사용되었다. 실험견의 마취유도는 안면마스크를 이용하여 시행되었으며 실험하는 동안 기계적 환기장치를 이용하여 호기말 이산화탄소 분압 ($P_{ET}CO_2$)을 35-45 mmHg로 유지하였다. 개에서 마취유도 후 45분이 경과한 다음 gross purposeful movement가 감지 될 때까지 후지 발가락을 클램핑하는 방법을 사용하여 baseline $MAC_{ISO}$ ($MAC_{ISO}B$) 측정을 시작하였다. $MAC_{ISO}B$가 결정된 후, 트라마돌 3 mg/kg을 투여하였고 뒤이어 2.6 mg/kg/h으로 지속점적투여 (CRI)를 실시하였다. CRI 시작 후 20분이 경과한 다음, 트라마돌 투여 후 $MAC_{ISO}$값 ($MAC_{ISO}T$) 측정을 시작하였다. 동맥혈압과 심박수는 지속적으로 기록하였고 $MAC_{ISO}B$와 $MAC_{ISO}T$의 결정 후 각각 20분간 평형기간이 경과한 다음 동맥혈가스분석을 실시하였다. $MAC_{ISO}B$와 $MAC_{ISO}T$는 각각 $1.33{\pm}0.04%$와 $1.23{\pm}0.04%$로 측정되었고 $MAC_{ISO}B$는 트라마돌 투여 후 $7.5{\pm}0.2%$의 유의적인 (P < 0.05) 감소효과를 나타냈다. 트라마돌 투여 후 심박수와 동맥혈압에서는 유의적인 변화가 나타나지 않았으며 동맥혈 가스분석 결과에서도 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 개에서 아이소플루란을 이용한 전신마취 시 트라마돌의 투여는 심폐기능의 억압을 일으키지 않고 $MAC_{ISO}$값을 감소시켰으므로 마취의 안정성과 마취회복의 질을 향상시키는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Clinical experience on 16 cases of open heart surgery under the extracorporeal circulation with mild or moderate hypothermia and partial hemodilution technique at the National Medical Center during the period from June 1976 to October 1977. Nine of sixteen were congenital heart disease and seven were acquired heart disease. The age of the patient ranged between 6 and 48 years. The body weight varied from 18.5kg to 60kg and body surface area 0. 79-1.70m2. The average priming volume of pump oxygenator was 2080 ml, which was consisted fresh ACD blood, buffered Hartmann`s solution, Mannitol, 50% dextrose in water and Vit. C. The average hemodilution rate was 27%. The average flow 2.3 L/min/m2 or 80 ml/min and the duration of perfusion varied from 31 min to 270 min with average of 107 min. The perfusion was carried out under the mild or moderate hypothermia using core cooling alone in 10 cases, core cooling and local myocardial cooling with $0-4^{\circ}C$ physiologic saline in 2 cases. From a hemodynamic point of view, the blood pressure dropped down around 80 mmHg after the initiation of perfusion follwed by increase to safety level and stable during the perfusion. The central venous pressure remained within normal limits. In most cases, hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased during and after the perfusion. Hemogiobin level was decreased, average of 20.6 %, hematocrit 18.6%, pletelets 55% postoperatively. Plasma hemoglobin increased moderately, from preperfusion average valve of 7.79 mg % to post-perfusion value of 54.7 mg %. Electrolytes changes during cardiopulmonary bypass showed definite hypokalemia but changes of Na, Ca were not definite. Arterial blood gas analysis during cardiopulmonary bypass suggested that the metabolic acidosis which was accompanied by respiratory alkalosis which was corrected postoperatively. As the opera tive complication, transient hemoglobinuria in 4 cases and neurological signs in 2 cases were all cured. There were 2 death cases and operative mortality rate was 12.5%.

Purpose: Near drowning refers to immediate survival after asphyxia due to submersion or immersion in water, which is a crucial public safety problem worldwide. Acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication of near drowning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of noninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation (NINPPV). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary emergency department. NINPPV was administered for moderate ARDS caused by submersion or immersion in patients who were older than 18 years, from January 2015 to December 2018. We collected the demographic (age, sex, length of hospital stay, and outcome), laboratory (arterial blood gas, lactate, oxygen saturation, partial pressure of oxygen divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen, complete blood count, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine), and clinical data (acute lung injury index and ventilator failure) of the patients. A statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 for Windows. Results: NINPPV treatment was provided to 57 patients for near drowning, 45 of whom (78.9%) were successfully treated without complications; in 12 (21.1%), treatment was changed to invasive mechanical ventilation within 48 hours due to ARDS or acute kidney injury. NINPPV treatment was successful in 31 (75.6%) out of 41 sea-water near drowning patients. They were more difficult to treat with NINPPV compared with the fresh-water near drowning patients (p<0.05). Conclusions: NINPPV would be useful and feasible as the initial treatment of moderate ARDS caused by near drowning.

Purpose: We studied the impact of arterial oxygen tension (PaO₂) on the long term neurologic outcome in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: The study population included 311 patients who presented to emergency department with acute CO poisoning from January 2015 to January 2018. These patients underwent arterial blood gas testing at the time of presentation. The baseline demographic, clinical, laboratory, and clinical outcome data were recorded. The primary outcome of interest was the long term neurologic status. Results: The normoxia group was significantly older and it had a higher incidence of diffusion weighted MRI abnormality, and this group needed multiple HBO sessions compared to the group with moderate or severe hyperoxia. Also, the incidence of altered mentality at discharge was higher in the normoxia group than that of the moderate hyperoxia group. The incidence of a poor long term neurologic outcome was 11.3%. The incidence of a poor long term neurologic outcome decreased as the PaO₂ increased. The PaO₂ was significantly lower in patients with a poor long term neurologic outcome than that of the patients with a good outcome 198 (165.2 to 231.1) mmHg in the good outcome group vs. 154 (119-162) mmHg in poor outcome, p<0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, PaO₂ was selected as an independent factor of the poor long-term neurologic outcome (OR 0.981 (95% CI: 0.968 to 0.995)) Conclusion: Higher PaO₂ was independently associated with a lower incidence of a poor long-term neurologic outcome.

Purpose: Organophosphate insecticide poisoning is common in Korea, but there is no definitive guideline for determining the severity of the poisoning and the predictive factors. Therefore, we evaluated the organophosphate poisoned patients and we divided them into two groups, the survivors and the dead, and the results might be useful for treating organophosphate poisoning patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 68 organophosphate poisoned patients who visited the Chosun University Hospital Emergency Medical Center during a 24-month period from January, 2007 to December, 2008. We made a work sheet of the patients' characteristics and the collected data was analyzed and we compared this data between the survivor group and the dead patient group. Results: There were significant differences between the survivor group and the dead patient group for the mean age, the alcohol intake state and the typically expressed signs. The dead patients had lower blood pressure, tachycardia and a lower Glasgo Coma Score (GCS) score than the survivor group. On the arterial blood gas analysis, the dead patients had more severe acidemia and they had lower saturations. Increased serum amylase levels were found in the dead patients. The survivors'initial and follow up serum pseudocholinesterase activity (after 6~8 days) was significantly higher than that of the dead group. The total amount of atropine injected to patient was less in the survivors than that in the dead patients. Conclusion: Old age and expressing the typical intoxication signs, a lower GCS score and blood pressure, showing acidosis on the gas analysis and low serum cholinesterase activity may be useful as poor prognostic indicators for patients with organophosphate poisoning. We suggest that physicians must pay careful attention to the signs and prognostic factors of organophosphate insecticide poisoned patients.

연구배경: 침습적 기계 호흡 이탈에 성공하여 기관내 관을 제거하였으나 48시간 이내에 급성 호흡 부전이 경우 또는 환자 스스로 기관내 관을 제거한 후 발생된 급성 호흡 부전은 이탈 실패의 중요한 원인이며, 발생시 기관내 관의 재삽관을 통한 호흡 보조가 표준적 치료이다. 비침습적 양압 환기법(noninvasive positive pressure ventilation이하 NIPPV)은 비 혹은 안면마스크를 통해 양압 환기를 시행하므로 기관내 삽관을 회피할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기계 호흡 이탈 후 기관내 관을 제거한 환자들에게 발생된 급성 호흡 부전 시 NIPPV 적용이 기관내 삽관을 통한 양압 환기 치료를 대체할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 대상은 아산 재단 서울 중앙병원 내과계 중환자실에 입원하여 기계적 환기 치료를 받고 이탈 과정에서 기관내 관 제거 후 48시간 이내에 급성 호흡 부전이 발생한 환자 21명 및 스스로 기관내 관을 제거한 후 급성 호흡 부전이 발생한 환자 7명과 기관내 관이 기도내 분비물로 막혀 기관내 관을 제거한 환자 2명등 총 31명에게 NIPPV를 적용하였다. NIPPV는 환자 상태에 따라 기계 환기 양식, 압력 보조 수준 및 흡입 산소의 양이 조절 되어졌으며, 압력 보조 8cm $H_2O$미만에서 임상적으로 안정된 상태를 유지하는 경우 완전히 NIPPV에서 이탈하였다. 성공군은 NIPPV 이탈후 48 시간 이상 자발 호흡을 유지한 경우로 정의하였고, 실패군은 NIPPV 시행 후 호흡 부전 소견이나 동맥혈 가스검사의 호전이 없어 다시 기관내 삽관을 시행하여 기계호흡을 시행한 환자로 정의하였다. 각 군에서 NIPPV적용 직전, 적용 후 30분, 6시간, 24시간, NIPPV 이탈 작전 또는 실패하여 기관내 재삽관으로 전환 직전의 심박동수, 분당 호흡수, 동맥혈 가스검사, 압력 보조 수준 및 호기말 양압등을 비교하였다. 결 과: 총 31명에서 NIPPV를 적용하였고, 이 중 성공군은 14명(45%)이었다. 성공군과 실패군을 비교 시 나이, 중환자실 입원 당시의 APACHE III 점수, 기관 내 삽관 기간, 기관내 관 제거 후 NIPPV적용시까지의 시간 및 NIPPV 시행 직전의 분당 호흡수, 심박동수, 동맥혈 가스검사, $PaO_2/FiO_2$ 등은 양군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 모든 환자에서 NIPPV적용 30분후부터 분당 호흡수 및 심박동수는 감소하였고 동맥혈 산소 포화도는 증가하였다.(p<0.05) 그러나, 실패군에서는 NIPPV 시행중에 상태가 악화되어 기관내 재삽관을 시행하였고, 재삽관 작전의 분당 호흡수 및 심박동수는 다시 증가하였으며 동맥혈 산소포화도는 감소하였다(p<0.05). 기저 질환이 COPD 이면서 기관내 관 제거 후 급성 호흡부전이 발생한 환자 8명에게 NIPPV 적용 시 COPD가 아닌 다른 환자들에 비해 NIPPV의 성공률이 의미 있게 높았다(62% 대 39%)(p=0.007). NIPPV를 이용한 이탈 시 실패의 원인으로는 기저 질환의 악화 없이 동맥혈 가스 소견이 악화되었던 예가 9예, 그 외 기저 질환 악화 5예, 마스크 부적응이 2예, 기도내 분비물 축적이 1예였다. 결 론: NIPPV는 침습적 기계 호흡이탈과정에서 특히 기저질환이 COPD인 환자들의 경우 기관내 관 제거 후 발생한 급성 호흡 부전 시 기관내 관의 재삽관을 피할 수 있는 유용한 치료적인 방법으로 사료된다.

Fibrothorax is the end stage of chronic pathologic processes of pleura such as hemothorax, empyema, or tuberculous effusion. The pleural space become adherent and obliterated, and the lung parenchyma is covered by a thick, fibrous, unexpandable "peel", so the lung function is diminished markedly with impaired ventilation and oxygenation. Constrictive pericarditis is often accompanied fibrothorax, also cardiac and hemodynamic function is deteriorated. Surgical relief of these fibrous peels causes remarkable improvement in pulmonary function, cardiac and hemodynamic function, and subjective symptoms. We experienced a case of bilateral fibrothorax combined with constrictive pericarditis which occured 3 years after bilateral tuberculous effusion. Decortication and percardiectomy were done at the same time through bilateral submammary thoracotomy with sternal transection. Comparing postoperative Peripheral venous pressure, Circulation time, Pulmonary function test, Arterial blood gas analysis, Subjective symptoms with preoperative conditions showed noticeable improvement.provement.

Simultaneous bilateral bleb resection was done through bilateral transaxillary thoracotomy in 10 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax during the period from May 1991 to Novemver 1992 in whom bilateral bulla or bleb was detected with using simple chest X-ray and chest CT scanning. To compare the effectiveness of bilateral transaxillary thoracotomy, we investigated 10 unilateral transaxillary thoracotomy patients with spontaneous pneumothorax and two clinical reports from other institutes which dealt the results of bilateral bleb or bulla resection through median sternotomy also. In bilateral transaxillary thoracotomy group,mean operation time was 115 minute,mean intraoperative bleeding was 329 cc, mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.5 days. Postoperative ABGA[Arterial Blood Gas Analysis] was in normal range and postoperative recovery rates of FVC[Forced Vital Capacity], FEV1[Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 second], TV[Tidal Volume] were 84.3%, 93.4%, 88.7%,respectively. In median sternotomy group,mean operation time was 129 minute,mean intraoperative bleeding was 490 cc, mean postoperative hospital stay was 12.4 days. Postoperative ABGA was in normal range and postoperative recovery rates of FVC, FEV1 were 97.3%, 97.4%, respectively. In unilateral transaxillary thoracotomy group, postoperative ABGA was in normal range also and postoperative recovery rates of FVC, FEV1, TV were 91.6%, 99.0%, 96.0%,respectively. In conclusion, simultaneous bilateral bleb resection through bilateral transaxillary thoracotomy should be considered in pneumothorax patients with bilateral bleb or bulla because of cost-effectiveness[reducing hospital days] and better cosmetic result without any impairment in recovery of respiratory function.

Effrctive analgesia after elective thoracotomy can be provided by continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block.This study was designed to prove the effectiveness of continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block. Twenty patients undergoing elective thoracotomy were randomized into two groups. Group I received lumbar epidural block[N=10] and group II received continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block[N=10]. Postoperative pain relief was assessed on Numeric Rating Scale[NRS] and recovery of pulmonary function was assessed by coparison of preoperatrive and postoperative FVC[Forced Vital Capacity], FEV1[Forced expiratory Volume in 1 second], VC[Vital Capacity]. Arterial blood gas analysis[ABGA], vital signs and amount of additive analgesics were compared also. No significant difference was observed between the groups concerning these parameters mentioned above. Systemic complications, such as urinary retention[2/10] and weakness of lower extremity[2/10], occurred in group I but no complication occurred in group II. We conclude that continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block is as effective as epidural block in pain relief and restoration of pulmonary mechanics with fewer comlications. Also because of it`s ease and safetiness, this must be considered as a substitute of epidural block in routine use for thoracotomy pain relief.
