  • Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate how nurses who take care of terminal patients perceive fluid therapy and how this therapy is currently being used in hospitals. Methods: This survey included 200 nurses, 87 of whom were working in the oncology units of 3 university hospitals in Seoul, Korea, and 113 were working in 18 hospice centers. The data for this study were collected by means of structured questionnaires and analyzed by using the Statistical Analysis System software. The differences in perception towards fluid therapy between nurses working in oncology units and those working in hospice centers were examined using the $x^2$ test and analysis of covariance. Results: Fluid therapy was perceived more negatively by the nurses from hospice centers than by those from oncology units. Continuous subcutaneous infusion was used in hospice centers, but not in oncology units. In addition, the average amount of fluid infused daily differed significantly between the oncology units and hospice centers. Conclusion: Our results show that there were differences in the perception towards fluid therapy between nurses in different clinical settings. Nurses caring for terminal and palliative care patients should not simply provide or withhold fluid therapy, but rather develop a wider range of views on fluid therapy, focusing on effective alternative interventions.

  • 조기후두암은 치료 목표는 생명을 구하면서 동시에 후두기능을 최대한으로 보존하는 것이라고 할 수 있는데, 치료자의 철학과 환자의 선호도에 따라 방사선 치료, 레이저 수술 그리고 후두부분적출술 등의 방법이 적용되고 있다. 어떤 치료 방법이던 재발암에 대한 구제치료를 포함하면, 궁극적인 생존율은 거의 비슷하다. 그러므로 일차 치료후 얼마나 적극적으로 환자를 추적관찰하고, 적절한 구제수술을 시행하느냐에 따라 생명의 보존 그리고 재발암에서의 기능의 보존 여부가 좌우된다고 할 수 있다. 향후 보다 체계적인 추적 관찰법과 최소의 환자 부담으로 최대의 성과를 거둘 수 있는 치료방법 이 연구되어져야겠다.

  • Tracheal cancer is rare and accounts for approximately 0.03% of all malignancies. Because of atypical symptoms, tracheal cancer can be misdiagnosed as obstructive lung disease, or tumors of thyroid or lung. Among patients of previous head and neck cancer, other primary cancer may accompany which called "econd primary cancer". We report a case of patient with tracheal cancer 3 years after definite radiation therapy of laryngeal cancer with a review of related literatures.
