Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the changes in the characteristics of patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, as well as the distinctive differences in intentionally exposed patients. Methods: The medical records of CO poisoning patients, who visited nine emergency departments between January 2010 and December 2011, were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical information including age, gender, hospitalization, type of discharge, cause and location of exposure, site of onset, concentration of initial blood carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), methods of treatment and presence of neurological complications was examined. The subjects were divided into an intentional and non-intentional group and the differences between them was compared. Results: A total 209 subjects were recruited. The median age was 38 years (29~49.5 years). They frequently complained of nausea and vomiting, and the most common exposures occurred in winter, normally in the home. The cause of exposure was usually fire, followed by incomplete combustion of fuels. The median initial blood COHb was 13.15%. The proportion of intentionally exposed patients was 21%. They were significantly younger, more frequently discharged against medical advice, and showed a higher initial blood COHb level (22.85%) than the non-intentional group. Conclusion: This study suggests that those with intentional CO poisoning are normally discharged against medical advice even when they have a higher initial COHb level. An adequate explanation of the delayed neurologic sequelae and short term follow-up observation is recommended for those patients with intentional exposure.

The educational preparation of nurses has been the focus of considerable debate globally. It is needed the change of the basic nursing education for professional nurse to prepare the trends of the health care needs of clients for coming new generation. And also it is believed that educational preparation for being nurses is to be responsible to clients' needs. The purpose of the study was to develop a baccalaureate program in nursing. This study were implemented through three stages from April 2001, to April 2002.: preparation stage which were consisted of reviewing of the literatures, interviewing the fellow nurses in a variety workplace, and consulting professors who were concerned with the nursing education to identify the present educational problems, and analyzing the contents of seven major courses in nursing education, evaluation stage about a new developed curriculum with the directors of the five nursing schools, and confirmation stage of new developed education programme. The developed education programme was designed as a four year program with 126 credit hours including 39 credit hours of liberal arts, 34 credit hours of supplementary courses, and 53 credit hours of nursing major based on the four basic nursing dimensions of human, health, environment and nursing. Nursing majors were consisted of Nursing Ⅰ(oxygenation), Nursing Ⅱ(nutrition elimination), Nursing Ⅲ(activity rest), Nursing Ⅳ(neurologic- endocrine protection), Nursing Ⅴ(fluids electrolytes/sex reproductive), Nursing Ⅵ(psycho-social), Community Health Nursing, Fundamental Nursing, School Health, and Emergency care. This new nursing programme was focused on the nursing education for prevention and rehabilitation nursing care as well as the acute and chronic nursing care at hospital, on the integrated nursing programme to become effective, and the nursing process to encourage the critical thinking. The new education programme focused on the professional nurses who are responsible the nursing ethics, communication skills, and professional beliefs to suit the future trends in health. And also it will be needed for faculties to manage the integrated curriculum, to analyze the contents of each subject, and to communicate with each other before a new education programme apply to their education programme in future. This research was supported by the Han Kok Medical Science Foundation

From 1990 to 1997 Home Care Education Programs have been offered at 11 Home Care Education Institutes. But there have been no revisions in the program. Especially in the clinical practicum, the Ministry of Health and Welfare proposed 248 hours as 'Family Nursing and Practice'. But each of institutes has developed their own program, and the clinical practicum is very different. Institutions for home care practice have been very limited and even now only 40 hospitals started home care in the second demonstration project. A few community-based institutions have also been offering home care services. This study was conducted to analyze home care clinical practicum offered at Y university, and plan for a revised home care clinical practicum. Y university clinical practicum was revised to include 'visits to community institutions', 'laboratory practice', 'hospital practice', 'discharge planning and home care practice', and 'home care specialty practice'. The results of the evaluation and plan for a revision are as follows: 'Visits to community institutions' is a practice that helps the students understand community resources which are available to home care nurses, and as an orientation to institutions for practice. 'Laboratory practice' is to used to improve nursing skills that are applicable to home care. Problems that the students identified in the laboratory practice were 'lack of opportunity for individual practice', and 'inadequate theoretical preparation for practice'. To address these problems the basic nursing skills laboratory was open and could be used freely by the home care students, and practice could be done after the theoretical lectures. 'Hospital practice' is a practicum in which the students apply nursing skills to patients and to obtain assessment skills for discharge planning. Using a preceptorship, five days for hospital practice should be offered. 'Discharge planning and home care practice' was done at Wonju Christian Hospital. This institute is too far away that this practice should be provided at different institutions as soon as it is possible to contract with home care institutions. Patients groups in different home care institutions are very different, so the 'Home care specialty practice' should be done after analyzing patient groups and choosing specialty areas. These areas are' care of patients with respiratory dysfunction', 'care of patients with neurologic dysfunction', 'care of cancer patients', 'care of patients on dialysis', and 'wound care'. This practice should be offered with a preceptorship, so preceptors, clinical directors, and students should meet for home visit orientation.

Iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate tablets are usually used to treat iron-deficiency anemia in some elderly patients with primary neurologic disorders or decreased gag reflexes due to stroke, senile dementia, or parkinsonism. While the aspiration of ferrous sulfate is rarely reported, it is a potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to airway necrosis and bronchial stenosis. A detailed history and high suspicion of aspiration are required to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis can be confirmed by bronchoscopic examination and a tissue biopsy. Early removal of the aspirated tablet prevents acute complications, such as bronchial necrosis, hemoptysis, and lobar consolidation. Tablet removal is also necessary to prevent late bronchial stenosis. We presented the first case in Korea of a ferrous sulfate tablet aspiration that induced severe endobronchial inflammation.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), requiring the intensive care unit (ICU) care, has been a high-mortality condition until now. In the present study, we aimed to investigate clinical features and parameters associated with TB mortality. Methods: From August 2003 to December 2008, patients with microbiologically or histologically confirmed pulmonary TB then admitted to the ICU, were retrospectively enrolled into the study. Upon enrollment, their medical records were reviewed. Results: Forty three patients (30 males, 13 females) were included and their mean age was 63.8 years (range: 17~87 years). Twelve patients died, an overall in-hospital mortality of 27.8%. The main reason for the ICU care was dyspnea or hypoxemia requiring mechanical ventilation (n=17). Other diagnoses for ICU care were hemoptysis, monitoring after procedures, neurologic dysfunction, shock, and gastrointestinal bleeding. On univariate analysis, the factors affecting the mortality were malnutrition-related parameters including low body mass index, hypoalbuminemia, lymphocytopenia, and hypocholersterolemia, as well as severity-related variables such as high acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) score, number of involved lobes, and high C-reactive protein. In addition, respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and acute respiratory distress syndrome contributed to patient fatality. It was shown on multivariate analysis that respiratory failure and hypoalbuminemia were significantly independent variables associated with the mortality. Conclusion: Acute respiratory failure is the most common reason for the ICU care and also the most important factor in predicting poor outcome. In addition, our data suggest that the parameters associated with malnutrition could be possible factors contributing to mortality.

역설적 반응은 감수성 있는 항결핵제를 복용중인 결핵 환자에서 치료시작 당시의 병변이 악화되거나 새로운 병변이 생기는 현상이고 이는 치료실패와 감별을 요한다. 일반적으로 역설적 반응은 기존 항결핵 치료로 좋은 결과를 보이므로, 이러한 임상 경과를 잘 이해함으로써 불필요한 검사나 치료약제 변경 등을 하지 않고 적절히 치료할 수 있게 될 것이다. 저자들은 적절한 항결핵제 치료 중에도 역설적 반응으로 결핵성 뇌농양, 결핵성 복막염이 연속적으로 병발한 환자 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

뇌졸중 환자의 실어증 유무를 정확히 판별하고 환자의 미세한 언어적 변화를 적절히 관찰하기 위해서는 일차적으로 신뢰로운 검사도구를 사용하여야 하고, 또한 검사자가 해당 도구의 사용에 있어 충분히 숙지하고 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 뇌졸중 환자의 실어증 및 말장애 유무의 진단에서 검사자의 전공영역에 따른 관찰자간 신뢰도를 살펴보고 훈련 전과 후의 차이를 비교해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 침상에 있는 뇌졸중 환자 46명을 대상으로 언어치료사, 신경과 전공의, 그리고 간호사 각각 4명씩 총 12명이 동시에 실어증 및 말장애 유무를 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 서로 다른 전공 영역의 전문가들 간에 말명료도 과제와/아/모음연장발성 과제의 '음질' 영역에서만 'acceptable'로 나타났고, 나머지 하부검사 영역에서는 'good-excellent'로 나타났다. 관찰자간 신뢰도가 'acceptable'로 나타난 과제들에 대해 3주간의 비디오 훈련 전후의 점수 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 훈련 후 말명료도 과제에서 검사자들 간의 평정 점수의 차이는 유의하게 줄어들었으며, '음질' 평정의 정확성도 유의하게 증가하였다. 임상 경험 정도와 각 하부검사에 대한 평정 정확성 간의 상관관계를 알아본 결과, 언어치료사들은 임상 경험 정도가 증가할수록 그림설명하기 과제와 말명료도 과제에서, 그리고 의사 및 간호사들은 그림설명하기 과제에서 판정 정확도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 이 연구 결과는 뇌졸중 환자의 의사소통장애 진단에 있어 신경언어장애 환자 중, 특히 말장애환자에 대한 꾸준한 경험과 훈련이 반드시 필요하며, 훈련을 통해 평정 신뢰도를 확보할 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 국내 음악치료 및 물리치료 분야에서 리듬청각자극(RAS)을 적용하여 수행된 연구를 비교분석하였다. 이를 위해 1999년부터 2018년 11월까지 발표된 학위 논문과 학술지 게재 연구 중 RAS 및 보행기능 관련 주제어를 검색하여 기준에 부합한 45개의 연구를 선정하였고, 세부중재방법과 리듬자극의 유형, 기술된 치료 원리의 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 두 영역에서의 연구 모두 일정한 간격의 리듬을 핵심적인 치료 자극으로 사용하고 RAS의 기본 절차를 따른 점에서는 공통적이었지만, 목표기능이나 구체적인 리듬제공방법에 있어서는 차이가 있었다. 음악치료 연구에서는 모두 보행기능이 목표 변인이었던 데 비해, 물리치료 연구에서는 균형이나 근력, 고유수용성감각 등 관련 신체기능이 목표에 포함되었다. 또한 음악치료 연구에서는 다양한 요소를 포함한 '음악'이 리듬자극으로 활용된 반면, 물리치료 연구에서는 메트로놈을 리듬자극으로 활용한 연구가 음악을 활용한 연구보다 많았다. RAS 원리와 관련하여 단순한 기법 설명 외에 동조화와 같이 치료의 원리가 충분히 기술된 연구는 물리치료보다는 음악치료 분야에서 많이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 음악치료 연구에서는 리듬과 더불어 음악의 다양한 요소가 보행에 미칠 수 있는 영향이 고려되어 음악의 역할이 적극적으로 활용된 반면, 물리치료 연구에서는 보행에 영향을 미치는 다양한 신체기능에 대한 개입이 포함된 경향이 있음을 보여준다. 두 가지 측면 모두 재활에 있어 중요한 부분임을 고려할 때, 본 연구는 다학제간 연구를 기반으로 한 RAS 연구의 기법의 확장 적용에 대한 시사점을 제시한다고 할 수 있다.
