The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and competence level of trainees of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training targeted for policeman. Data were collected from 113 policemen by questionnaire on Feb, 2001. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, paired t-test using SPSS program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. 17 questions score increase, and 1 question score decreased. 2 questions didn't change their score. 2. In post test, knowledge level of trainees increased compared to that of pretest(t=-13.055, p= .000). 3. Competence level also increased(t=-13.055, p= .000).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the Cardiopulmonary function and Blood component to aerobic exercise. This were measured performance for 15 minutes. This study included 14 healthy individuals, 7 males and 7 females who were aged from 19 to 25 years. 1. After exercise heart rate was increased by on average of 93.7 beat/min as compared with rest. 2. Before exercise breath rate increased compared with rest and normal recovery need more 10 minutes. 3. Breathing capacity increased compare before with after perfoming exercise and male was less increase than was female. 4. Blood component(WBC, RBC, HB, HCT) showed aslight increased of difference compare before with after perfoming exercise.

A 27 year-old man, who had a penetrating cardiac injury due to a metal fragment was transferred to our hospital. At admission, his vital signs were stable, and his chest film showed a foreign-body-like finding in the heart silhouette. We evaluated the patient with chest computed tomography and echocardiography for further information. Finally, we removed the metal fragment from the left ventricle by using a cardiopulmonary bypass.

Currently numerous methods are in use for myocardial hypothermia as a myocardial preservation modality for cardiac operation. During cardiac ischemia after crystalloid cardioplegia[4C GIK solution], topical cold saline[Group I, a=9], topical ice slush[Group II, n=9] and topical ice chip[Group III, a=10] have been compared for myocardial surface cooling in the isolated rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass. During postischemic period, hemodynamic functions[aortic flow, coronary flow, peak aortic pressure and heart rate], biochemical enzymatic activities and cellular injuries with electron microscope were evaluated in this isolated rat heart perfusion model. Postischemic aortic flow, cardiac output and peak aortic pressure in Group I and Group II recovered better than Group III.[p< 0.05] Postischemic creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase leakages in Group II and Group III increased more than Group l and postischemic mitochondrial swelling in Group III was more severe than Group I, and Group II.[p< 0.05] These results suggest that topical cold saline was the better method than topical ice slush or topical ice chip as a myocardial preservation modality in the isolated rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass.

A 21-year-old man with atrioventricular[AV] reentry tachycardia secondary to concealed accessory AV connection underwent surgical division of two accessory pathways following failure of radiofrequency catheter ablation. pathways were located in the left free wall area.Before cardiopulmonary bypass, the epicardial mapping confirmed the existence and localization of two accessory pathways. The patient was approached through a left atriotomy with a dissection of the left free wall area beginning with an internal mapping was carried out after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass to confirm the absence of retrograde conduction of accessory pathway. Five weeks after surgery, the electrophysiololgic study demonstrated no retrograde conduction through two accessory pathways.

Ascending aortic aneurysms are usually treated with graft replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. However, if a candidate for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has an enlarged ascending aorta, surgeons may consider wrapping it without cardiopulmonary bypass. Here, we report a 78-year-old female who underwent successful wrapping of the ascending aorta concomitant with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, using a new wrapping technique that involves multiple bootstraps.

Mixed Venous oxygenation saturation[SvO2 is a variable determined in part by the externally controlled factors and in part by the patient during CPB. I monitored the SvO2 and tested it as a parameter for the regulation of pump output and as a criteria for the need of inotropics after CPB. With the help of SvO2, I increased the pump flow especially during rewarming for more optimal oxygenation of cells. After CPB, the calculated cardiac index was used as an indicator for the need of inotropic support with greater accuracy and without any clinical problems. I conclude that the SvO2 is an easily checkable variable and a good indicator for optimal oxygenation at cell level, and can be used as an objective criteria for the need of postoperative inotropic support.

A 10-year-old boy with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the right lower limb was scheduled for an amputation of the affected limb. Limb amputation was necessary because of the ineffectiveness of previous sclerotherapy and the rapid progression of AVM causing pain and heart failure. Right hip disarticulation was considered the best option to improve his quality of life. To prevent congestive heart failure and uncontrollable hemorrhage during surgery, the disarticulation was done under a partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient underwent surgery successfully without complications.

K14 patient with chronic dyspnea, who is senile female, early had suffered from radical mastectomy, radiotherapy, autoplastic transplantation, and knee arthritis. Abnormalities of cardiopulmonary function such as obesita, hypertension, mild left ventricular hypertrophy, and chronic pulmonary disease were found from K14 patient's clinical datas, which based on medical history and diagnosis, as well as evaluation of blood pressure, obesity, clinical diagnosis, chest PA, electrocardiogram, ultrasonocardiograph, and spirometery test. Diagnostic results were exactly analyzed, also long-term cares of K14 patient were discussed with related to the clinical literatures.

This study aimed to develop a prehospital protocol on CPR to patients with nontraumatic cardiac arrest for emergency medical technicians. For the purpose, we prepared a protocol based on preliminary items and demonstrated its validity to confirm a final protocol from March 1, 2007- August 30. 2008. The practical CPR protocol on cardiac arrest victims can be used as means to support quick and exact decision-making on CPR, which will contribute to enhancement of emergency medical services.
