A cost analysis for hospitalized patients was performed based on the KDRG classification in order to determine an appropriate nursing fee under the PPS(Prospective Payment System). The data was collected from 20 nursing units of three tertiary hospitals and two secondary hospitals from August 26 to September 15, 1996. The study consisted of 148 inpatients diagnosed for lens procedures(KDRG 03900), tonsillectomy &/or adenoidectomy(KDRG 16100), Cesarean section(KDRG 37000), or vaginal delivery(KDRG 37300) without any complications. The direct or indirect nursing hours of each patients were measured. Then, direct or indirect nursing expenditures of four nursing units, operating room and delivery room were computed. Finally, the resources used including average total nursing hours, average length of stay and average nursing cost of each KDRG were estimated as follows; 1) The average total nursing hours were 640 minutes for lens procedures, 403 minutes for tonsillectomy &/or adenoidectomy, 934 minutes for appendectomy with complicated principal diagnosis, 1,094 minutes for Cesarean section and 631 minutes for vaginal delivery. Significant differences were found in average total nursing hours among hospitals. 2) The average length of stay in lens procedures were 5 days, 4 days for tonsillectomy &/or adenoidectomy, 6 days for appendectomy with complicated principal diagnosis, 8 days for Cesarean section and 3 days for vaginal delivery. All results were within normal determined by the Ministry of Health and Welfare although significant differences existed among hospitals, especially with average length of stay for leng procedures between tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals which was greater than for those of others. 3) The average nursing cost were 87,146 Won for lens procedures, 69,600 Won for tonsillectomy &/or adenoidectomy, 128,337 Won for appendectomy with complicated principal diagnosis, 151,769 Won for Cesarean section and 85,403 Won for vaginal delivery. These costs were 7.6%, 13.0%, 13.0%, 16.0% and 22.0%, respectively, of the official price fixed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare under the prospective payment system. Research for the analysis of nursing costs according to the severity of illness for those KDRGs shoud be carried out within the period of the PPS pilot project. In addition, a proper nursing fee schedule for a new reimbursement system based upon the result of the above research should be prepared in the near future.

Purpose: Clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of various surgical treatments in snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Methods and materials: We performed surgical treatments such as radiofrequency ablation, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP) with tonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with advancement genioplasty, orthognathic surgery(maxillomandibluar advancement), distraction osteogenesis device insertion. Diagnosis was performed with clinical examination, polysomnography, lateral cephalometric and computed tomography. 62(M : F = 45 : 17, mean age 41.5, mean follow-up 4 weeks) patients underwent radiofrequency ablation and 7 (M : F = 5 : 2, mean age 38.9, mean follow-up 19months)patients experienced uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with tonsillectomy. Uvulopalatophayngoplasty with advancement genioplasty was performed for 3 (M : F = 2: 1, mean age 30.2, mean follow-up 14 months)patients. The last 3(M : F = 2 : 1, mean age 21.5, mean follow-up 24 months)patients was treated with orthognathic surgery including distraction device insertion. The results was evaluated by questionnaires, polysomnography, investigation of complications. Results: Of the patients treated with radiofrequency ablation, 95% reported improvement of their symptom. 100% improvement was reported in patients treated with UPPP with tonsillectomy and UPPP with advancement genioplasty. The two of three patients who underwent orthognathic surgery showed the satisfactory of treatments. Dryness of mouth was the most common complication during short period in radiofrequency ablation and UPPP with tonsillectomy. Relapse complication was not found in any surgical treatments. Conclusion: Treatment for snoring and OSA is determined by severity degree of the physiologic derangements, predominant type of apnea and obstructive site. Accuracy diagnosis should be performed prior to treatment for satisfactory treatment result. This study demonstrates feasibility, safety and efficacy of surgical treatments in snoring and OSA.

Parapharyngeal space tumors are extremely rare accounting for about 0.5% of all head and neck tumors and treat mostly by surgical removal. Due to their inherent location, they present with varied non-specific signs and symptoms, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and unnecessary procedures, such as a 'tonsillectomy' or 'incision and drainage' of a 'quinsy'. We recently confirmed a case about a the neurilemnoma on parapharyngeal space during tonsillectomy. To present our experience with the transoral approach for parapharyngeal space tumor and describe our technique for removal of these neoplasms. Although parapharyngeal space tumours are uncommon, recognizing them would enable the correct sequence of investigations, instead of unnecessary procedures resulting in an increased morbidity for the patient.

The aim of this study is to develop an assessment program of speech rehabilitation for children having some language and speech disorders. Patients of dysarthria, tonsillectomy, tonsilhypertrophy, and nasal obstruction were selected for this experimental clinical phonetic study. Formant variations ($F_1\;&\;F_2$) show pre- and post-operation differences in tonsillectomy and cleft palate patients. Nasal formants ($NF_1\;&\;NF_2$) show pre- and post-operation differences in nasal obstruction. The articulation reaction time (ART) as a parameter was used to assess Voice Onset Time(VOT). It was shown longer duration for hypokinetic dysarthria and shorter for atoxic dysarthria.. The diadochokinetic rate was measured by Visi-pitch. Lower diadochokinetic rate appeared to spastic and dysarthria in comparison with the control group. It was shown that the nasalance of tonsilhypertrophy, nasal obstruction, and cleft palate patients was seen to increase after operation. In addition, the assessment of nasality can be measured only by simple vowels such as /a/ and /i/.

Lateral pharyngoplasty is a surgical option for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here, we present a case involving a 40-year-old healthy man who underwent surgery, including lateral pharyngoplasty and robotic tongue base resection, for OSA. There were no intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications. However, on postoperative day 3, the patient presented with swelling in the temporal and buccal areas and was diagnosed with subcutaneous emphysema, later confirmed by computed tomography. The patient was carefully monitored under conservative care and discharged without complications. Although subcutaneous emphysema following tonsillectomy is a rare complication and usually resolves with conservative management, in certain cases, it might require surgical intervention. Lateral pharyngoplasty involves tonsillectomy and additional incision along the tonsillar fossa, which makes it susceptible to pharyngeal wall defects and, consequently, subcutaneous emphysema. Additionally, lateral pharyngoplasty and robotic tongue base resection cause pain and might thus contribute to the increase in intrapharyngeal pressure, which might aggravate subcutaneous emphysema. Lateral pharyngoplasty should be performed with meticulous dissection of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle. Healthcare providers should be aware of these complications and, upon suspicion of the same, place the patient under close observation to prevent life-threatening situations.

The purpose of this study was to determine which nursing activities are performed for patients in each of the nine KDRGs and to examine common nursing activities between patients with the nine KDRGs and special nursing activities which were not common to patients with the nine KDRGs. The study will provide basic data for estimation of nursing fees. The nine KDRGs in model project are Lens procedures, tonsillectomy, &/or adenoidectomy, appendectomy &/or not complicate principal diagnosis, vaginal delivery, cesarean section, anal & stomal procedures, inguinal & femoral hernia, uterine & adneza procedure for nonmalignancy, and simple pneumonia & pleurisy. To determine the nursing activities for each of the nine KDRG, checklists of nursing activities in each nine KDRG were developed from the literature and a total of 115 records of patients 'who were diagnosed and discharged between January and April, 1999 from a tertiary medical center. Nursing activities for each of the nine KDRG were verified through two consecutive content analyses. The results of study are followed as: 1. The checklists of nursing activities developed included direct and indirect nursing activities, for a total of 241 nursing activities. Direct nursing consisted of physical, educational, emotional-socioecomomic-spiritual nursing in 17 areas. Indirect nursing had four areas. 2. Through the two consecutive content analyses, 197 nursing activities were selected, having item CVIs of .83 or more. Those included 81 nursing activities for Lens procedures, 95 for Tonsillectomy &/or Adenoidectomy. 93 in Appendectomy &/or not complicated principal diagnosis, 155 for vaginal delivery, 172 for cesarean section, 89 for anal & stomal procedures, 93 for inguinal & femoral hernia, 108 for uterine & adneza procedures for non-malignancy, and 68 for simple pneumonia & pleurisy. 3. Nursing activities for each of the nine KDRG were compared. Activities with 80% or higher commonality within the nine KDRGs consisted of 86 of 197 nursing activities for the total designated common nursing activities, 30 common nursing activities for patients in the operation group, 45 common activities for patients in the delivery Group. Special nursing activities not common within the nine KDRGs were : 3 for Lens procedures, 1 for Tonsillectomy &/or Adenoidectomy. 2 for Appendectomy &/or not complicated principal diagnosis, 27 for vaginal delivery, 21 for Cesarean section, 6 for anal & stomal procedures, 3 for inguinal & femoral hernia, 16 for uterine & adneza procedure for non-malignancy, 8 for simple pneumonia & pleurisy. In this study, nursing activities for each of the nine KDRGs verified through two consecutive content analyses are those that are performed in the hospital. And, nursing activities for each of the nine KDRGs included all nursing activities from hospital admission to discharge. So. the checklists consisted of nursing activities that allow for an estimation of nursing fees under PPS. The classification of nursing activities in the study will provide a reference for the development of a nursing activity classification.

편도적출은 우리 이비인후과 임상에서 평소에 다반사로 행해지는 수술의 하나이라 하겠다. 수술술기의 개량, 마취의 발달과 더불어 각종 항생제의 발견등은 편도 적출술에 따르는 여러 가지 합병증을 감소시켰지만, 이중 수술중 또는 수술후에 왕왕 당하는 출혈문제는 가장 흔한 합병증의 하나이며 술자에게는 골치거리의 하나이기도 하여 아직껏 국내외에서 그 보고가 끊어지지 않고 있다. 특히 본증례에서와 같이 본태성 질환으로 인한 출혈의 해결에 있어서는 더욱 복잡곤란한 문제가 많을 것으로 생각된다. 혈우병은 1950년대에 이르러 각 Factor가 발견되어 현재는 혈우병 A.B.C.로 나뉘고 있다. 본증례는 11세의 남아로서 편도 척출술전에는 혈우병의 유무가 인지 못되었던 예로서 수술후 수술창에서 계속되는 출혈로 혈액응고장애를 가진 질환이라고 생각되어 여러 가지 검사결과 P.T.C의 결여로 오는 혈우병 B란 진단을 얻었기에 교훈적이고 귀중한 체험을 얻었다고 생각되어 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 수차의 수혈과 비인강탐폰 등의 방법으로 겨우 지혈되어 수술 20일만에 수술창이 치유되어 퇴원하였다.

페쇄성 수면무호흡증후군은 다양한 원인에 의하여 발생할 수 있으며, 특히 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증은 소아에서 가장 흔한 원인이다. 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증에 의하여 발생한 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증후군은 다양한 증상과 함께 행동 장애, 야뇨증, 성장 및 발달장애, 폐성심, 고혈압과 같은 다양한 합병증을 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 임상적으로 소아에서 폐쇄성 무호흡증상이 수면 중에 관찰되면 적절한 진단과정 후에 상태에 따라서 적극적인 치료가 필요하다. 소아에서의 치료는 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증에 의한 경우 수술적인 제거를 통하여 80% 이상에서 호전을 관찰할 수 있다. 그러나 편도 및 아데노이드 제거 후에도 증상이 남아있거나 수술적인 치료가 불가능한 환아에 대해서는 체중조절, 수면자세의 변화와 같은 생활습관의 조절 및 지속적 기도양압호흡기를 이용하여 추가적인 치료를 시행할 수 있다. 저자들은 수면다원검사상 심한 폐쇄성 수면무호흡이 관찰되어 편도 및 아데노이드 절제술을 시행한 후 증상의 호전이 있었으나, 장기간 추적관찰 후 재발한 수면무호흡과 코골이를 조절하기 위하여 생활습관의 개선교육과 자동화 기도양압호흡기로 치료한 1례를 경험하였기에 보고한다.
