Purpose: Recent advancements in interventional radiology have made angioembolization an invaluable modality in trauma care. Angioembolization is typically performed by interventional radiologists. In this study, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of emergency angioembolization performed by trauma surgeons. Methods: We identified trauma patients who underwent emergency angiography due to significant trauma-related hemorrhage between January 2020 and June 2023 at Jeju Regional Trauma Center. Until May 2022, two dedicated interventional radiologists performed emergency angiography at our center. However, since June 2022, a trauma surgeon with a background and experience in vascular surgery has performed emergency angiography for trauma-related bleeding. The indications for trauma surgeon-performed angiography included significant hemorrhage from liver injury, pelvic injury, splenic injury, or kidney injury. We assessed the angiography results according to the operator of the initial angiographic procedure. The term "failure of the first angioembolization" was defined as rebleeding from any cause, encompassing patients who underwent either re-embolization due to rebleeding or surgery due to rebleeding. Results: No significant differences were found between the interventional radiologists and the trauma surgeon in terms of re-embolization due to rebleeding, surgery due to rebleeding, or the overall failure rate of the first angioembolization. Mortality and morbidity rates were also similar between the two groups. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis evaluating failure after the first angioembolization, pelvic embolization emerged as the sole significant risk factor (adjusted odds ratio, 3.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-10.33; P=0.041). Trauma surgeon-performed angioembolization was not deemed a significant risk factor in the multivariable logistic regression model. Conclusions: Trauma surgeons, when equipped with the necessary endovascular skills and experience, can safely perform angioembolization. To further improve quality control, an enhanced training curriculum for trauma surgeons is warranted.

복와위는 신체 후부 노출이 필요한 척추 수술을 위해 주로 사용되고 있으며 수술부위로의 접근이 용이하고 수술 도중에 척추를 안정적으로 유지해주는 장점이 있다. 하지만 전신마취하에 있는 환자를 앙와위에서 복와위로의 전환은 여러 가지 부작용을 동반하며 특히 순환기계의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 이를 줄이기 위해 다양한 복와위 전용 수술대들이 연구 개발되어 임상에 사용되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 앙와위에서 복와위로의 체위 변환 시에 Jackson spinal surgery table의 이용이 체위에 의한 압박 때문에 생기는 환자의 순환기계 변화를 얼마나 효과적으로 줄여줄 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 추간판탈출증, 퇴행성척추전방전위증, 척추협착증의 진단 하에 본원 정형외과와 신경외과에서 수술을 받기로 예정된 환자 중 미국 마취과학회 신체등급 분류 1급 또는 2급에 해당하는 성인 환자 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 대상 환자의 성별은 남자가 15명, 여자가 15명이었고, 심혈관계나 호흡기계 질환이 있는 환자는 연구 대상에서 제외하였다. 모든 환자는 마취전투약으로 수술 시작 1시간 전에 glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg, fentanyl $1{\mu}g/kg$을 근주하였으며 수술실에 도착한 후 비침습적 자동 혈압 측정기, 심전도 및 맥박산소 계측기를 거치하였다. Thiopental sodium과 vecuronium으로 마취를 유도하였으며 환자의 의식소실과 충분한 근이완을 확인한 후 기관내 삽관을 시행하였다. Enflurane 1.5-2.0 vol%와 $O_2$, $N_2O$ 각각 2 L/min을 사용하여 마취유지를 하였으며 급격한 활력 징후의 변동으로 마취유지가 용의치 않은 경우는 연구 대상에서 제외시켰다. 환자의 활력 징후 안정 후 요골 동맥에 카테터를 거치하여 지속적으로 동맥압을 측정하였고, 우측 쇄골하 정맥에 중심정맥 카테터를 거치하여 중심정맥압을 측정하였다. 부분재호흡 심박출량 감시기 ($NICO^{(R)}$, Novametrix Medical Systems INC., USA)를 통해 비침습적으로 환자의 심박출량을 측정하였다. 앙와위에서 복와위로 체위변경 직전에 심박출 계수, 심박출량, 평균동맥압, 심박수, 중심정맥압을 측정하여 앙와위의 값으로 삼았으며, 척추 수술 전용 수술대인 Jackson spinal surgery table을 사용하여 복와위를 취하였다. 복와위로 체위 변경 뒤 심박출 계수, 심박출량, 평균동맥압, 심박수, 중심정맥압을 측정하여 복와위의 값으로 기록하였다. 본 연구 결과 앙와위와 복와위의 혈역학적 지수의 비교시 심박수와 평균동맥압은 별다른 차이가 없었다. 중심정맥압은 유의한 정도는 아니지만 감소 소견을 보여 수술시 출혈의 위험성을 감소시킬 것으로 생각된다. 심박출량과 심박출 계수도 유의한 감소 소견을 보였으나 convex saddle table을 이용한 경우와 kneechest position을 취한 경우보다 적은 변화를 보여 Jackson spinal surgery table의 사용은 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 Jackson spinal surgery table을 사용하여 복부와 흉부에 과도한 압력이 가해지지 않더라도 유의한 심박출량 감소가 있을 수 있음을 유념해야 할 것이다. 특히 심폐여력이 부족한 환자들에 있어서는 심박출량의 감소는 위험한 결과를 초래할 수 있으므로 복와위에 의한 생리적 변화에 관한 충분한 이해와 함께 마취 시 보다 적극적인 감시와 관리가 요구된다고 여겨진다.

The objectives of thes study were to identify the need for equipment development in nursing, and to determine the priorities for that development. The study was descriptive study done between March 2 and May 30, 1995, in which the subjects, including 421 patients, 223 family members, and 198 nurses from neurosurgery, orthopedic, rehabilitation medicine, internal medicine and intensive care units of nine general hospitals in Seoul, completed a questionnarie developed by the research team. The questionnaire consisted of 35 open and closed questions. Data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The results ware summarized as follows: 1) The average age of the nurses was 27.9 years, 48% of the patients were between 20 and 40 years of age, and 17% were over 60. The average lingth of experience for the nurse subjects was four years five months with 36.9%. having over five years experience. The most frequent diagnoses of patients were spinal disc(35.9%), internal medicine disease(26.0%), cerebral vascular accident(16.6%) and spinal cord injury(10%) 2) Many of the nurses(96.4%) reported deficiencies with existing equipment and 96.5% of the nurses, but only 79.8% of the patients, nurses' time. Further, 82.3% of the nurses and 75.8% of the patients felt that the development of new equipment would lead to a decrease in the cost of nursing care. 3) Nurses felt that the greatest areas of inconvenience were patient feeding(71.7%), hygiene(71.2%), caring for a patient confined to bed(70.7%), patient clothing(67.2%), mobility transfers(63.5%) and urinary elimination(52.0%). However, patients and family members listed the following as being the most inconvenient: urinary elimination(58.7%), Hygiene(50.5), feeding(48.4%), mobility transfers(47.1%) and bed care(45.2%). 4) Generally the nurses listed more inconveniences and patients and family members listed more demands for the development of equipment. These included utensils with large handles, and regulators for tube feedings; mattresses that provide for automatic position change and massage, which have patient controlled levers and a place for bed pan insertion; automatic lifts or transfer from bed to wheelchair; equipment to facilitate washing and oral hygiene as well as equipment that will allow patients with spinal cord injuries easy access to showers; a bed pan/urinal for women that is comfortable and effective from which urine can be measured and disposed of easily; disposable dressing sets and tracheostomy care sets and a convenient way of measuring changes in wound size; a safe delivery system for oxygen, a variety of mask sizes and better control of humidity, tracheal material than at present, as well as a communication system for patients with tracheostomies; clothing that will allow access to various parts of the body for treament or assessment without patients having to remove all of their clothing; and finally a system that will allow the patient to control lighting, telephones and pagers. Priority areas for equipment development reported by the nurses were, urinary elimination(58. 7%), hygiene(50.5%), feeding(48.4%), mobility transfers(47..1%), bowel elimination(40.8%). Those reported by the patients family members were feeding(71.7%), hygiene(70.0%), bedcare(70.7%), clothing(67.2%), mobility transfers(63.6%), urinary elimination(52.9%) and bowel elimination(50.5%) Altogether, nurses, patients and family members listed the following as priorities; clothing (178), bed care(144), urinary elimination(92), environment(81), hygiene(70). Further, a health professional forum listed urinary elimination, oxygen delivery, medication delivery, mobility transfers, bed care and hygiene in that order as priority areas. From this study it can be concluded that the first need is to develop equipment that will address the problems of urinary elimination. To do (l)This nurses who are interested in equipment development should organize an equipment development team to provide a forum for discussion and production of equipment for nursing.

Backgrounds : Because ventilator-induced lung injury is partly dependent on the intensity of vascular flow, we hypothesized that hypothermia may attenuate the degree of such an injury through a reduced cardiac output. Methods : Twenty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to normothermia ($37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (NT-V) group (n=10), hypothermia ($27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (HT-V) group (n=10), or nonventilated control group (n=7). The two thermal groups were subjected to injurious mechanical ventilation for 20 min with peak airway pressure 30 cm $H_2O$ at zero positive end-expiratory pressure, which was translated to tidal volume $54{\pm}6\;ml$ in the NT-V group and $53{\pm}4\;ml$ in the HT-V group (p>0.05). Results : Pressure-volume (P-V) curve after the injurious ventilation was almost identical to the baseline P-V curve in the HT-V group, whereas it was shifted rightward in the NT-V group. On gross inspection, the lungs of the HT-V group appeared smaller in size, and showed less hemorrhage especially at the dependent regions, than the lungs of the NT-V group. [Wet lung weight (g)/body weight (kg)] ($1.6{\pm}0.1$ vs $2.4{\pm}1.2$ ; p=0.014) and [wet lung weight/dry lung weight] ($5.0{\pm}0.1$ vs $6.1{\pm}0.8$ ; p=0.046) of the HT-V group were both lower than those of the NT-V group, while not different from those of the control group($1.4{\pm}0.4$, $4.8{\pm}0.4$, respectively). Protein concentration of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group($1,374{\pm}726\;ug/ml$ vs $3,471{\pm}1,985\;ug/ml$;p=0.003). Lactic dehydrogenase level of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group ($0.18{\pm}0.10\;unit/ml$ vs $0.43{\pm}0.22\;unit/ml$;p=0.046). Conclusions : Hypothermia attenuated pulmonary hemorrhage, permeability pulmonary edema, and alveolar cellular injuries associated with injurious mechanical ventilation, and preserved normal P-V characteristics of the lung in rats.
