Chest draining is a common procedure for treating pleural effusion. Perforation of the heart is a rare often fatal complication of chest drain insertion. We report a case of a 76-year-old female patient suffering from congestive heart failure. At presentation, unilateral opacity of the left chest observed on a chest X-ray was interpreted as massive pleural effusion, so an attempt was made to drain the left pleural space. Malposition of the chest drain was suspected because blood was draining in a pulsatile way from the catheter. Computed tomography revealed perforation of the left ventricle. Mini-thoracotomy was performed and the drain extracted successfully.

Utilizing Foley catheter in therapy of inpatient cause bacteriuria and urinary tract infection that leads to first ranked factor's in hospital infection (nosocomial infection). To protect the patient from such infections, emphasis should be placed on catheterization technique and management of the closed drainage system, this reducing the chances of introducing organisms. This study has been done at Intensive Care Unit of A and B hospitals from May-Oct. 1978 on 20 male and 18 female adult patients. Each patient was screened and found to have nonbacteriuria in clean catch specimen before catheterization. Clean catch specimen via foley catheter were obtained after 48 hours and 96 hours from catheterization. The findings are as follows: A. The occurrence of bacteriuria in patients according to duration of indwelling catheter. 1 213.9% of the patient showed evidence of bacteriuria 48h post catheterization specimen, while 57.9% of the patient showed evidence of bacteriuria 96h post catheterization specimen. 2 25% of male patients had infection 48h post catheterization and 45% displayed bacteriuria post catheterization. 33％ of female patients displayed infection 48h post catheterization and 72.2% having infection 96h post catheterization. Statistically there were significant differences between female patients and the duration of insertion. (P < 0.025) B. The occurrence of bacteriuria with the administration of bacteriuria with the ad-ministration of antibiotic in 24 patients was in 41,7%. The occurrence of bacteriuria without the administration of antibiotic in 14 patients was in 92.3%. Statistically there were very significant difference between the administration of the antibiotis and bacteriuria. (P < 0.005) C. Studies were done according to the consciousness level of the patients, 71.4% of those patient who displayed mental disorder developed bacteriuria, while 30.0% of those patient who displayed non mental disorder developed bacteriuria.

To evaluate the effectiveness of central venous catheters(CVCs) in children, 320 CVCs placed in 255 neonate and children over a 10-year period were analyzed retrospectively. CVC was placed by one pediatric surgeon for a total of 6, 116 patients days. Catheters were placed preoperatively for TPN or chemo in 223 cases. CVC was solely for TPN in 57 cases and for chemotherapy in 40. Local anesthesia was utilized in 71 cases, and the general anesthesia was administered in the remainder of the patients. The subclavian vein was catheterized(SCV) in 202 cases(82 infants and neonates), tunneled external jugular venotomy(EJV) was utilized in 38, tunneled internal jugular venotomy(UV) in 2, the facial venotomy(FV) was used in 3, and the umbilical vein was catheterized UVC) with vein transposition in 74 infants. In neonates, 72 UVCs were placed during laparotomy. SCV was increased with ages, from 3 kg of minimal body weight. The average catheter-periods over-all were 19.1 days, SCV 17 days, EJV 40, IJV 60 and UVC 14. Technical complications were; arterial puncture(6), puncture failure(5) and abnormal location(12) in SCV; insertion failure(3) in EJV; abnormal location in the portal vein(4) and the liver parenchyma(2) cystic fluid accumulations in UVC. Twelve migrations(3.8 %) out of position occurred; SCV(2), EJV(1) and UVC(9). There were 4 cases(1.2 %) of catheter obstruction and 11(3.4 %) of catheter infection(3 SCV, 2 EJV and 6 UVC). Rescue procedures were utilized with some success. There was one mortality(0.3 %) due to deep sedation in a 1.06 kg baby during placement of an EJV. The surgeon's experience, proper catheter selection and following safety rules are the most important factors for successful CVCs.

Purpose: This study was conducted to update the existing evidence-based nursing clinical practice guideline for indwelling urinary catheterization (IUC). Methods: The guideline have been revised in 22 steps based on international standards. The quality of the practice guidelines to be used for revision was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II. The evaluation of the content appropriateness and applicability of the draft recommendations of the revised practice guidelines was performed using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method, a decision-making method developed by the RAND Corporation. Four guidelines were used for the revision. Results: The updated nursing practice guideline for IUC consisted of 9 domains and 134 recommendations. The numbers of recommendations in each domain were: 4 Assessment, 20 Equipment, 11 Catheter insertion, 52 Catheter maintenance, 4 Catheter and drainage bag change, 9 Catheter removal, 22 Complications management, 5 Education and consult, and 7 Hospital support. The recommended grade was 8.2% for A, 38.1% for B, and 53.7% for C. Among these, the major revision was done in 11 recommendations (8.2%). A total of 29 recommendations (21.6%) were newly added. 30 (22.4%) recommendations had minor revisions such as changes or addition for some words or sentences, and 13 (9.7%) recommendations were deleted. Conclusion: Revised nursing practice guideline is expected to serve as an evidence-based practice guideline for IUC in Korea. This guideline will provide health care providers, patients, and caregivers with information to help manage IUC, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Eleven cases of peripheral arterial injuries treated at Korea University Woo Sok Hospital during these 3 years and 3 months from Feb. 1971Eleven cases of peripheral arterial injuries treated at Korea University Woo Sok Hospital during these 3 years and 3 months from Feb. 1971 to May 1974 were reviewed. Common causes of injuries were stab wound, automobile accidents and iatrogenic injuries during operation. Of the 11 arterial injuries 3 were femoral artery which` was the commonest in frequency and the next was 2 cases of brachial artery. The most frequent type of injury was transection. Laceration, contusion and spasm was also recognized. The need to operate immediately following an injury was emphasized. Operative procedures were end to end anastomosis and saphenous vein graft in 5 and 2 cases, respectively. Other cases were undergone multiple suture ligature due to staphyllococcal infection, insertion of polyethylene catheter, and lateral suture after thromboendarterectomy. Fractures and extensive soft tissue damage associated with arterial injuries with widespread destruction of the collateral circulation aggravated the situation and complicated the amputation of lower extremity in 4 cases. The factors influencing the amputation were time lag, presence of associated injuries and complications.[KTCS 1974;1:109-116] Common causes of injuries were stab wound, automobile accidents and iatrogenic injuries during operation.

연구배경 : 자연 기흉은 기저 질환이 없는 건강한 사람에서 발생하는 원발성 자연 기흉과, 결핵이나 만성폐쇄성 폐질환에서 발생하는 속발성 자연기흉으로 나뉘어지며, 자연 기흉에 대한 치료는 다양하지만 흔히 흉관 삽입을 우선적으로 고려하고 있다. 흉관삽입법은 특별한 술식과 삽입시 통증, 피하기종, 감염 등의 합병증이 문제되는 바 본 저자들은 흉관에 비해 직경이 훨씬 작은 8 French 도관을 자연 기흉의 치료에 적용했을 때 단기적인 치료 효과가 있음을 이전 연구에서 확인한 바 있다. 본 연구는 의인성 기흉의 치료에 이용되어져 왔던 작은 직경의 도관을 자연 기흉의 치료에 적용하였을 때, 치료 성공후 추적관찰을 통하여 재발율을 조사하여 장기적인 치료적 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 1990년 1월부터 1996년 1월까지 중앙대학교 부속병원 내과와 흉부외과에서 8 French 도관 또는 흉관 삽입법으로 치료받은 원발성 또는 속발성 자연 기흉 환자 62명을 대상으로 하였으며 이들은 기흉의 크기가 가 25% 이상, 기흉의 크기에 관계없이 호흡곤란이나 흉통이 발생하였을 때, 기흉의 크기가 증가할 때, 다시 재발한 자연 기흉 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 긴장성 기흉, 혈흉, 화학적 흉막유착술이나 흉강경하 기포절제술을 한 경우는 대상에서 제외되었다. 임상특성(성별, 연령별, 과거 기흉의 유무, 기흉의 크기, 기저 질환의 유무)을 조사하고 합병증, 유치기간, 의무기록이나 개인적 접촉을 통하여 관찰 후 재발율을 비교 분석 하였다. 결과 : 8 French 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군의 추적 관찰기간의 중앙값은 각각 28개월, 22개월로 양군간에 유의한 차이를 보이고 있지 않았다. 8 French 도관 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군의 대상환자들의 임상적 특성-성별, 연령별, 기저 질환의 유무, 기흉의 크기의 분포에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 원발성 및 속발성을 포함한 자연 기흉을 대상으로 비교한 결과, 도관 또는 흉관의 유치기간은 8 French 도관 삽입군이 $6.2{\pm}3.8$일로 흉관삽입군의 $9.1{\pm}7.5$일에 비해 유의하게 짧았다(p=0.047). 원발성 자연 기흉을 대상으로 두군을 비교하여, 8 French 도관 삽입군의 치료와 관련된 합병증은 6.25%로 흉관삽입군의 23.8%에 비해 더 적은 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다(0.041 ; one-tailed, p=0.053, two-tailed). 8 French 도관 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군에서 재발율에 있어서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 원발성 또는 속발성 자연 기흉에 대한 치료로 지금까지의 흉관삽입법에 대하여 더 작은 직경의 도관을 삽입하여 치료에 의한 합병증의 빈도를 줄이면서, 치료기간을 줄이고 장기적인 재발을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 더 많은 환자를 대상으로하여 전향적인 연구가 앞으로 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
