Generalized anaphylaxis is a most dramatic and acutely life-threatening allergic reaction. Most fatalities from anaphylaxis occur within the first 30 minutes postantigenic exposure. The mechanism of generalized anaphylaxis is the reaction of IgE antibodies to an allergen that causes the release of histamine, bradykinin, and others. These chemical mediators cause the contraction of smooth muscles of the respiratory and intestinal tracts, as well as increased vascular permeability. Four major clinical symptoms are recognized: skin reactions, smooth muscle spasm (gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and respiratory smooth muscle), respiratory distress, and cardiovascular collapse. Epinephrine is the drug of choice for the management. Its syrnpathomimetic effects directly counteract most aspects of the attack. Respiration must be immediately supported by the establishment of a patent airway along with artificial ventilation. The circulation should be supported and the existing hypotension overcome by placing the victim in a position to allow gravity to aid venous return and by administering intravenous fluids, vasopressors, and corticosteroids. When an imperceptible pulse is evident, external cardiac compression must also be instituted. This is a case report of anaphylactic shock care during general anesthesia, possibly due to penicillin, pancuronium and others.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to reclassify the advanced nursing practices of critical care nurse practitioners(CCNPs) in intensive care unit and measure the time and frequency of CCNP's activities. Method: Practices of ICU nurses are divided into RN's and CCNP's practices by a panel of ICU nursing experts. Each practice of CCNP is defined and CCNP's working time and service frequencies are monitored in general hospitals. Result: Practices of CCNP were classified into 4 domains and 32 practices. Fourteen practices by CCNPs were completed in 10 minutes and the other 12 practices consumed 10-30 minutes. A priority of practice in respiratory therapy was given to artificial airway management, management of tracheostomy patient, lower respiratory care, and the priority of CRRT was management of anticoagulation. Conclusions: Advanced nursing practices of CCNPs were recognized from those of RNs. A further research of CCNPs practices should be extended to other advanced practices and it is required to evaluate economic value of advanced nursing practice in the national health insurance system.

Purpose: Regarding the respiratory function of patients with an artificial airway, this study compared the effects between normal saline with chest vibration and normal saline with expectorant mixture, administered before endotracheal suction. Methods: The study was conducted in the ICUs of one university hospital located in Incheon. The experimental group I received normal saline with chest vibration administered before endotracheal suction while the experimental group II received normal saline with expectorant mixture administered before endotracheal suction. For respiratory function, $PaO_2$, $PaCO_2$, and $O_2$ saturation were measured by ABGA at 3 minutes after endotracheal suction for both pre-test and post-test. Results: The two groups were not different significantly regarding $PaO_2$ level and $O_2$ saturation after the treatments, while, the experimental group II had lower $PaCO_2$ level than the experimental group I after the treatments (t = 2.075, p = .042). For experimental group II, post-test score of $PaCO_2$ level was significantly lower than that of the pre-test score (t = 1.842, p = .075). Conclusion: The administration of normal saline with expectorant mixture before endotracheal suction reduced $PaCO_2$ level and improved the respiratory function.

Background: Potentially harmful unplanned extubation (UE) may occur in patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of UE and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients with MV in a medical ICU (MICU). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated MICU data prospectively collected between December 2011 and May 2014. Results: A total of 468 patients were admitted to the MICU, of whom 450 were on MV. Of the patients on MV, 30 (6.7%) experienced UE; 13 (43.3%) required reintubation after UE, whereas 17 (56.7%) did not require reintubation. Patients who required reintubation had a significantly longer MV duration and ICU stay than did those not requiring reintubation ($19.4{\pm}15.1days$ vs. $5.9{\pm}5.9days$ days and $18.1{\pm}14.2days$ vs. $7.1{\pm}6.5days$, respectively; p<0.05). In addition, mortality rate was significantly higher among patients requiring reintubation than among those not requiring reintubation (54.5% vs. 5.9%; p=0.007). These two groups of patients exhibited no significant differences, within 2 hours after UE, in the fraction of inspired oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and pH. Conclusion: Although reintubation may not always be required in patients with UE, it is associated with a poor outcome after UE.

Objective : Anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) is a common surgical procedure used to treat cervical spinal degenerative diseases. One of the complications associated with ACSS is prevertebral soft tissue swelling (PSTS), which can result in airway obstruction, dysphagia, and other adverse outcomes. This study aims to investigate the correlation between various cervical sagittal parameters and PSTS following single-level ACSS, as well as to identify independent risk factors for PSTS. Methods : A retrospective study conducted at a single institution. The study population included all patients who underwent single-level ACSS between January 2014 and December 2022. Patients with a history of cervical spine surgery or trauma were excluded from the study. The presence and severity of PSTS was assessed by reviewing pre- and postoperative imaging studies. The potential risk factors for PSTS that were examined include patient age, sex, body mass index, tobacco use, comorbidities, serum albumin levels, operative time, implant type, implanted level, and various cervical spine sagittal parameters. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors for PSTS. Results : A total of 62 consecutive patients who underwent single-level ACSS over a 8-year period at a single institution were enrolled in this study. Only preoperative segmental angle showed positive correlation with PSTS among various cervical spine sagittal parameters (r=0.36, p=0.005). Artificial disc replacement showed a negative correlation with PSTS (β=-0.38, p=0.002), whereas the use of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) had a positive impact on PSTS (β=0.33, p=0.009). We found that male sex, lower preoperative serum albumin, and implantation of upper cervical level (above C5) were independent predictors for PSTS after single-level ACSS (β=1.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27 to 2.15; p=0.012; β=-1.63; 95% CI, -2.91 to -0.34; p=0.014; β=1.44; 95% CI, 0.38 to 2.49; p=0.008, respectively). Conclusion : Our study identified male sex, lower preoperative serum albumin levels, and upper cervical level involvement as independent risk factors for PSTS after single-level ACSS. These findings can help clinicians monitor high-risk patients and take preventive measures to reduce complications. Further research with larger sample sizes and prospective designs is needed to validate these findings.

연구배경 : 허탈된 폐를 recruit 할 수 있는 두 가지 방법의 효과를 비교하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : New Zealand산 백색 토끼 15마리를 기계환기를 시행한 후 반복적인 식염수 세척(20 ml/kg)으로 급성폐손상을 유도하였고($PaO_5$ < 100 mmHg, $FIO_2$ 1.0) 압력-용적 곡선을 구하여 Pflex를 얻었다. 토끼들을 3군으로 나누어 통일한 설정에서 4시간동안 기계환기를 시행하였는데 대조군(n=5)은 PEEP올 Pflex보다 3 mmHg 낮게 유지하였으며, Recruitment maneuver(RM)군(n=5)은 PEEP은 대조군과 동일하게 유지하면서 15분마다 continuous positive airway pressure를 22.5 mmHg의 압력으로 45초 동안 지속시켰으며, Pflex군(n=5)은 RM 없이 PEEP을 Pflex 수준으로 유지하였다. 각 군에서 동맥혈가스검사, 폐역학, 혈역학적인 지표들을 측정하였고 병리학적 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 1. 대조군과 RM군에서는 $PaO_2$가 점진적으로 감소하는 경향올 보여 4시간에는 $PaO_2$가 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.05 vs 1hr). 그러나 Pflex군에서는 다른 군에서 보였던 $PaO_2$의 감소는 관찰되지 않아 3시간과 4시간에서는 다른 군과 비교하여 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). $PaO_2$는 세군간 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 2. 폐유순도나 고명부압도 세 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 혈압이나 맥박수도 세 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 폐조직검사에서는 Pflex군의 호중구 침윤 점수가 $1.4{\pm}0.8$점으로 대조군의 $2.5{\pm}0.5$점에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). Hyaline membrane점수도 대조군, RM군, Pflex군 순으로 낮은 경향올 보였다(p=0.0532). 결 론 : 결론적으로 손상된 폐를 recruit시키는 것은 VILI를 줄일 수 있는 유용한 방법이다. VILI를 최소화하기 위해서는 recruitment maneuver만으로는 부족하며 derecruit를 방지하기 위한 적절한 전략이 중요할 것으로 사료되며 앞으로 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요하리라 생각된다.
