The data were analyzed by using an S. P. S. S. computerized program for mean, standard deviation, percentage and paired t-test. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The increase in $PaO_2$ after hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation was highly statistically significant(p=0.041), and the increase in $PaO_2$ immediately after suctioning was not significant (p=0.752). The time of lowest $PaO_2$ was 30 seconds after the endotracheal suction. 2. The occurrance of cardiac arrhythmia after the endotracheal suction included sinus tachycardia, sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, premature atrial contraction (PAC), and premature ventricular contraction (PVC). The most frequent cardiac arrhythmia was sinus tachycardia (a subjects). Sinus arrhythmia was observed in 5 subjects and continued till 10 minutes after suctioning in two of these. Sinus bradycardia occurred in only 3 subjects and among them, 1 subjects shows sinus arrythmia till 10 minutes after suctioning along. PAC was observed in only one subject and continued till five minutes after suctining along with sinus arrhythmia. PVC was observed in three subjects: it lasted for only 30 seconds after suctioning in two subjects. but continued for 10 minutes after suctioning in the third. 6 subjects manifested two kinds of Cardiac arrhythmia Three of them showed sinus tachycardia with PVC, another 2 showed sinus bradycardia with sinus arrhythmia, and the other subject showed sinus arrhythmia with PAC. 3. The increases in heart rate during the endotracheal suction immediately after and at 30 seconds after suctioning were statistically significant (p=0.005). The increase in heart rate at one minute after suctioning was also significant (p=0.023). The increase in heart rate continued until 10 minutes after the endotracheal suction, but was not statistically significant In this study, endotracheal suctioning with hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation was effective in preventing a decrease in $PaO_2$ after suctioning, but not in preventing cardiac arrhythmias. Nurses should be aware of the complications of endotracheal suctioning and do effective hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation before and after suctioning. Further research is needed to develop a efficient endotracheal suction method which will minimize complications. This study needs to be replicated with different population of patients intubatted or having a tracheostomy, specifically, patients who cardiac or pulmonary desease.

좌심방 부속지류는 매우 드문 질환으로 염증반응이나 퇴행성 변화로 발생할 수 있지만, 동반된 다른 기형이 없을 경우 선천성으로 생각할 수 있다. 선천성 좌심방 부속지류는 대부분 증상이 없어 우연히 발견되지만, 심방 세동, 상심실성 빈맥, 전신 색전증상, 심정지 등 합병증이 발생할 수 있어 진단되면 증상이 없어도 수술을 권장하고 있다. 개흉술을 통해 접근이 가능하지만, 기저부가 넓은 경우나 좌심방 부속지내에 혈전이 있는 경우에는 체외순환이 필요해 정중흉골 절개술이 필요할 수 있다. 저자들은 부분 심낭 결손증으로 오인되었던 선천성 좌심방 부속지류를 좌측 개흉술을 통해 체외순환 없이 성공적으로 수술하였기에 증례 보고를 하는 바이다.

We experienced 6 cases of primary cardiac tumor, all received operation for removal of tumor. Mean age was 43.8 years-old ranging from 17 years-old to 66 years-old. Five cases were female, one case was male. Five cases were benign, myxoma, all located within left atrium. One case was malignant, angiosarcoma within right atrium. All patient showed cardiac manifestations. One case was in NYHA functional class II, two were in III, three were in IV. Four patients showed constitutional symptoms, but no one showed evidence of embolic phenomenon. All case of myxoma showed cardiomegaly except one malignancy. Only one case was regular sinus rhythm, three were sinus tachycardia 8z two were atrial fibrillation. The most common site of tumor origin was fossa ovalis limbus[four of all]. Two of five myxomas received emergency operation, one patient died postoperatively. Lived four patients showed no evidence of recurrence[mean follow-up, 3,5 years], but one patient has Grade II /IV mitral regurgitation & in OPD follow-up now, One malignant case, 17 years-old cerebral palsy female, was angiosarcoma occupied most of right atrial chamber originated from anterior wall of right atrium, received emergency operation which was removal of mass & reconstruction of right atrium with artificial pericardial patch. This patient died on postoperative 36th day due to persistent LCOS[low cardiac output syndrome] with combined sepsis.

It is well known that multipoint and computerized intraoperative mapping systems improve the results of surgery for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and show tremendous potential for opening an entirely new era of surgical intervention for the more common and lethal types of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. In addition, the ability to map and ablate the sometimes fleeting automatic atrial tachycardia is greatly enhanced by computerized mapping systems. In this study, we have developed 64 channel computerized data analysis system using microcomputer (Macintosh IIx) for basic research of electrophysiology and electrical propagation. The bipolar electrogram information is acquired from 64 cardiac sites simultaneously at a sampling rate of 1ksamples/sec with continuous and total data storage of up to 30 seconds. When the reference electrogram is selected and reference point is picked up, delay time from the reference point in displayed on two dimensional diagram of the heart. System design permits easy expansion to almost 256 simultaneous sites, This system is expected to enable us to study pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmia and to improve the results of diagnosis and surgical treatment for cardiac arrhythmia.

The management of cardiac arrhythmias by cardiac pacing has increased greatly since the treatment of complete heart block with an external transcutaneous pacemaker in 1952, followed by the use of myocardial wires connected to an external pulse generation, by external transvenous pacing, and then by transvenous pacing with implantable components in thoracic wall.By now, the three bases of modern cardiac pacing for bradyarrhythmias had been established [1] an implantable device [2] the transvenous approach [3] the ability of the pacemaker to sense cardiac activity and modify its own function accordingly. In transvenous implantation of a pacemaker, any one of four vessels at the root of the neck is suitable for passage of the electrode - cephalic vein, external jugular vein, internal jugular vein, costo-axillary branch of the axillary vein. The new technique of direct puncture of the subclavian vein, either percutaneously or after skin incision only has been made, is invaluable & is used routinely. We have experienced one 25 years old patient who had rheumatic mitral stenosis & minimum aortic regurgitation with sinus bradycardia associated with premature atrial tachycardia & another 54 years old female patient who was suffered from sick sinus syndrome with sinus bradycardia & sinus arrest. The 1st patient was taken open mitral commissurotomy & aortic valvuloplasty and then was taken atrlal pace-maker implantation through If subclavian puncture method in post-op 14 days, and the second patient was taken atrial pacemaker implantation through If subclavian puncture method. Their postop course was in uneventful & were discharged, without complication. Their condition have been good to now.

배경: 선천성 심 질환에 동반된 심실성 혹은 상심실성 부정맥은 심기형에 대한 수술에 병행하여 적극적인 수술적 치료를 하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 선천성 심 질환에 동반된 부정맥의 양상 및 부정맥 수술의 중기 성적을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 6월부터 2006년 6월까지 선천성 심 질환 및 동반 부정맥에 대한 수술이 동시에 시행된 43명의 환자의 임상 자료를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 시 환자의 연령은 4세에서 75세(중간 값: 52세)이었다. 가장 흔한 심 질환은 심방 중격 결손(23예)이었으며, 기타 엡스타인 기형(5예), 과거 심방-폐동맥 연결형 Fontan 수술을 받은 기능적 단심증(3예)의 순이었다. 부정맥의 유형으로는 심방 조동-세동이 37예로 가장 많았고, 간헐적이면서 지속적이지 않은 심실성 빈맥이 2예, 기타 여러 유형의 상심실성 부정맥이 4예이었다. 심방 조동-세동 및 일부 상심실성 부정맥에 대하여 양심방 maze 술식이 18건(변형 Cox maze III 술식: 5예, 우심방 maze와 폐정맥 냉동 분리술: 13예), 우심방 maze 술식이 18건 시행되었으며, 짧은 병력의 심방 조동 만을 가진 4명의 환자에서는 하대정맥-삼첨 판막 협부 냉동 절제 만이 시행되었다. 또한 심실성 빈맥을 가진 2명의 환자들은 우심실 유출로 냉동 절제술이 시행되었고, 엡스타인 기형에 동반된 방실 결절 회귀성 빈맥에 대해서는 결절 주변 냉동 절제가 시행되었다. 수술 사망 및 부정맥 수술로 인한 합병증은 없었다. 수술 후 추적기간은 1개월에서 95.2개월(중간 값: 23.8개월)이었으며, 추적 기간 중 1명의 환자가 수술 후 5개월째 전격성 간염으로 사망하였다. 전체 환자의 동율동 회복률은 수술 직후 및 수술 후 $3{\sim}6$개월에 각각 79% 및 81%이었다(양심방 maze 군: 72% 및 83%, 우심방 maze 군: 77%, 77%). 양심방 maze 술식 및 우심방 maze 술식을 받은 환자 군에서 각각 1명씩 동방 결절 기능 부전으로 인공 심박동기를 삽입하였다. 결론: 선천성 심기형에 동반된 부정맥에 대한 수술적 치료는 안전하게 이루어 질 수 있으며, 우수한 중기 성적을 보인다.

심방세동은 가장 흔한 부정맥 질환으로서,특히 승모판막 질환이 있는 경우에는 60%에 이르는높은 빈도의 유병율을 보이는데,심방세동 환자의 약 113에서 혈전 색전증을 일으키고,혈전 색전증이 생긴 환자의 약 60%에서는 사망에 이르거나 심각한 합병증이 초래되므로 심장질환에 대한 수술시,동반 심 방세동에 대한 적극적 인 치료가 고려되어야 한다. 서울대학교병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1994년 4월부터 1995년 6월까지 심방세동을 동반한 심장질환 을 가진 20명의 환자에서 Maze 술식을 포함한 개심술을 시행하였다 대상환자들의 남녀 성비는 남 '녀 : 6 : 14 이 었으며, 평균연령은 48$\pm$11세 (31 ~66세) 였다. 1년이상 지 속된 만성 심방세동이 14례(70%)였고, 1년미만인 경우가 6례(30%)였으며,심방세동의 과거력은 평균 36$\pm$42개월(1~132개월)이었다. 수술전 혈전전색증의 과거력이 있었던 경우가 7례(35%), 좌심방내에 혈전이 있었던 경우가 9례(45%)였다. 동반 심장질환으로는 판막질환이 19례,심실중격결손증이 1례였 으며, Maze술식과 더불어 승모판막 및 대동맥판막 치환술이 5례, 승모판막 치환술을 시행한 경우가 4 fl, 승모판막 치환술 및 삼첨판\ulcorner 성형술 4례, 승모판막 성형술 3례, 승모판막 성형술 및 삼첨판막 성형 술이 1례, 승모판막 치환술 및 관상동맥 우회술이 1례, 대동맥판막 치환술 1례, 심실중격결손봉합술이 1례 였다. 대동맥차단시간은 평균 175 :41분(116~270분)이었다. 수술과 관련된 사망은 없었으며, 수술 후 심방세동의 재발이 16명(80%)에서 있었으나, 수술후 평균 41일째 규칙적인 심박동 소견을 보였다. 수술후 합병증으로서는 저심박출증을 보였던 경우가 3례 (15%), 술전 존재하였던 반신불수의 악화가 1 례, 그리고 급성 신부전이 1례씩 관찰되었다. 20명의 외래추적 관찰기간은 평균 16.5개월(10.5~24개월) 이었는데, 외래 추적기간 중 모든 환자에서 규칙적인 심박동의 소견을 보였으며, 정상 동방결절리듬을 보인 경우 17례 (85%)중에서 항부정맥제의 투여가 필요 없는 경우가 13례 (76%)이고 나머지 4례에서는 항부정맥제를 투여중이며, 접합부 율동을 보이는 3례 (15%) 중 2례에서는 항부정맥제를 투.i중이고, 1 례는 접합부 서맥으로 인공심박동기 (DDD-R type : AAI mode)의 삽입이 필요했다. 추적기간 중에 심에 코검사는 19명에서 시행하였는데, 우심방 수축력이 보이는 경우가 1 례 (95%) 이었고, 좌심방 수축력은 12례 (63%)에서 명백히 관찰되 었다. 심장질환에 대한 개심술시 Maze술식을 동반시행할 경우심장허혈시간이 길어지는 단점이 있으나, 최근의 발달된 심근보호법의 적용으로 수술에 따른 위험을 최소화할 수 있으므로 심방세동의 적극적 인 치료를 고려하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

A 2-month-old female Abyssinian cat was presented with a severe ascites, cyanosis, and exercise intolerance. Diagnostic studies revealed V/VI holosystolic murmur, sinus tachycardia, generalized cardiomegaly with marked left atrial enlargement and shunt flow between left and right ventricles. Doppler study showed bi-directional shunts in rest and right-to-left shunt after exercise. Based on clinical signs and diagnostic findings, the cat was diagnosed as a reversed ventricular septal defect. The cat was treated with furosemide, nitroglycerine, dobutamine and oxygen supplement. Despite initial improvement of clinical signs after initiation of medical treatment, the cat died of sudden cardiac arrest. Necropsy revealed a perimembranous ventricular septal defect.

This is a report of a biatrial cardiac myxoma in a young man with a 10-month history of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The echocardiogram revealed biatrial myxoma prolapsing through the mitral and tricuspid valves during diastole. All cardiac chambers were enlarged and dysfunctional. The electrocardiogram revealed a rapid ventricular response with atrial flutter rhythm. The masses were resected and diagnosed as myxoma by a histological examination. The follow-up echocardiogram revealed significant improvement in ventricular function and reduction in the cardiac chambers' volume. There was no evidence of myxoma recurrence. The most probable cause of the patient's heart failure was considered to be tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
