  • 전신마취, 부위 또는 국소 마취시, 그리고 향부정맥제로 술중 및 중환자실에서 흔히 쓰이는 lidocaine의 용량과, 국소 마취제로 인한 중추 신경계의 독성을 예방 또는 중단시키기 위해 사용되는 diazepam의 전투여시 이로 인한 심혈관계 변화 및 lidocaine의 혈중농도를 관찰, 측정하여 환자의 관리 및 치료에 도움을 얻고자 본 실험을 하였다. Nitrous oxide, halothane으로 마취된 개에서 근육이완제 사용 후 조절호흡하에서 혈중 이산화탄소를 35-45mmHg로 유지하면서 국소 마취체인 lidocaine의 용량을 100 mcg/kg/min, 200 mcg/kg/min, 300 mcg/kg/min로 각각 30분간 지속적 침제하면서, diazepam 전투여 유무에 따른 심혈 역학치의 변화 및 lidocaine의 혈중농도를 측정하고, 억제된 심혈관계에 $CaCl_2$를 투여하여 회복 정도를 관찰하였던 바 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. Lidocaine의 지속적 침제량이 증가됨에 따라 심혈관계의 억제가 심하게 나타났으며 평균 동맥압, 심장지수, 일회 박출지수, 좌심실 박출 작업지수, 우심실 박출 작업지수 등은 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 폐동맥 쐐기압, 중심 정맥압, 전신혈관 저항지수 등은 증가하였으나 (p<0.05), 심박동수, 평균 폐동맥압, 폐혈관 저항지수의 변화는 거의 없었다. Lidocaine 100 mcg/kg/min 지속적 침제시는 diazepam을 투여한 II군에서만 평균 동맥압의 의의있는 감소를 보였으며 (p<0.05), lidocaine의 혈중농도는 diazepam투여하지 않은 I군에서는 $3.97{\pm}0.22$에서 $4.48{\pm}0.36$ mcg/ml 범위였고 II 군에서는 $3.70{\pm}0.32$에서 $4.10{\pm}0.22$ mcg/ml범위였다. Lidocaine 200 mcg/kg/min의 지속적 침제시는 I군에서는 평균 동맥압의 감소, 중심정액압의 증가를 나타내었고 (p<0.05), II 군에서는 심장지수의 감소, 폐동백 쐐기압의 증가를 나타내었으며 (p<0.05), lidocaine의 혈중농도는 I군은 $7.50{\pm}0.66$에서 $7.91{\pm}0.77$ mcg/ml, II군에서는 $7.64{\pm}0.79$에서 $8.23{\pm}1.18$ mcg/ml범위로 증가하였다. Lidocaine 300 mcg/kg/min의 지속적 침제시는 I군에서는 평균동맥압, 일회 박출지수, 좌심실 박출 작업지수의 감소가 있었고 (p<0.05), 폐동맥 쐐기압, 중심 정맥압, 전신혈관 저항지수의 증가를 나타내었다 (p<0.05). II군에서는 심장지수, 일회 박출지수, 좌심실 박출 작업지수의 감소가 있었으며 (p<0.05), 폐동맥 쐐기압, 중심 정맥압, 전신혈관 저항지수의 증가를 나타내었다 (p<0.05). 그러나 심박동수, 폐동맥압의 변화는 거의 관찰할 수 없었다. 또한 이때의 혈중 lidocaine의 농도는 I군에서는 $11.30{\pm}2.11$에서 $11.83{\pm}0.59$ mcg/ml범위 로, II군에서는 $12.95{\pm}0.71$에서 $13.79{\pm}0.82$mcg/ml의 범위로 나타내었다. $CaCl_2$ 투여 후는 억제된 심장지수, 일회 박출지수, 전신혈관 저항지수, 폐혈관 저항지수, 좌심실 박출작업지수 및 우심실 박출 작업지수는 회복시켰으나 (p<0.05), 폐동맥 쐐기압, 중심정맥압 등은 오히려 억제시켰다 (p<0.05). 이상에서 자율신경계에 손상이 없으며 산혈증 및 과탄산증이 없는 개에서는 lidocaine의 높은 혈중 농도치에서도 혈역학에 내성이 있었으며, ljdocaine의 중추신경계 독성의 예방 및 치료 목적으로 사용되는 diazepam의 전투여 시에도 추가적인 심혈관계의 억제가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 자율신경계 이상이 있거나 자율신경계를 억압할 수 있는 약을 사용할 때 또는 산혈증, 과탄산증 및 저산소증이 동반된 환자에 사용할 때에는 세심한 주의가 요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess prognosis after resection of giant tumors (including lobectomy or pneumonectomy) in the mediastinum. Materials and Methods: Patients with resection of a giant tumor in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity received ICU treatment including dynamic monitoring of vital signs, arterial blood pressure and CVP detection, determination of hemorrhage, pulmonary function and blood gas assay, treatment of relevant complications, examination and treatment with fiber optic bronchoscopy, transfusion and hemostasis as well as postoperative removal of ventilators by invasive and non-invasive sequential mechanical ventilation technologies. Results: Six patients were rehabilitated successfully after ICU treatment with controlled postoperative errhysis and pulmonary infection by examination and treatment with fiber optic bronchoscopy without second application of ventilators and tubes after sequential mechanical ventilation technology. One patient died from multiple organ failure under ICU treatment due to postoperative active hemorrhage after second operative hemostasis. Conclusions: During peri-operative period of resection of giant tumor (including lobectomy or pneumonectomy) in mediastinum ofthe thoracic cavity, the ICU plays an important role in dynamic monitoring of vital signs, treatment of postoperative stress state, postoperative hemostasis and successful removal of ventilators after sequential mechanical ventilation.

  • This study is an attempt to analyze the physical load by the type of the nursing tasks at the neurosurgical ICU nurses through the quantitative analysis of the working postures by the type of the nursing tasks with the OWAS(Ovako Working Postures Analysis System). Data collection was conducted through the video recording of the 13 nurses working at the neurosurgical ICU. For the analysis of the work postures by the type of the nursing tasks, and were interviewed regarding the subjective degree of the difficulties with the work postures related to the tasks. Collected data was analyzed through the WinOWAS program. The results were as follows : AC3 or AC4 tasks among the 18 nursing tasks types are "occupied bed making and change of the patient gown", "back massage", "suction", "elimination management", "change of position", "adjustment of bed", "helping the patient to move","measurement of CVP"and "measurement of urine volume". It appears that these tasks are harmful to the musculoskeletal system and the improvement or change of the work is required. The results stated above indicate that improper working postures during the nursing tasks influence the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, making use of assistant devices for the improvement of the working environment at the nursing tasks, based on human technological diagnoses, is required regarding the duty types with massive work pressure known to be harmful to the musculoskeletal system among those performed by the nurses. And there is a need of the education about the employment and maintenance of the vocational back pain prevention.

  • We experienced the seven cases of penetrating and non-penetrating cardiac injuries combined with cardiac tamponade from June 1986 to June 1989 at Seoul and Chun-An Hospital of SOONCHUNHYANG medical college. The results were as follows. l. In sex distribution, 7 cases were male. In age distribution, The fourth decades occupied about 58 % of all cases. 2. In mode of injury, 4 cases were stab wounds, 1 case penetration by metallic fragment, 2 cases blunt chest trauma. 3. We routinely checked the CVP with subclavian vein catheterization in case of suspicious cardiac tamponade. Significant increments were showed in 4 cases. 4. Becks triad [low blood pressure, raised central venous pressure, distant heart sound] were recorded in 43 % of the cases with proven tamponades. 5. The sites of injury included RV in 4 cases, LV in 1 case, RA in 1 case and branch of RCA in 1 case. The RV injuries were the most common. 6. Coronary artery damage occurred in 2 cases. LADA was severed in 1 case combined with RV rupture and branch of RCA was torn 1 case. 7. Pericardiocentesis was performed 1 case at another hospital before referring to our hospital. We have never used the procedure because we think that it is potentially dangerous with no clear benefit. 8. Subxyphoid pericardial window was performed in 2 cases of severe cardiac tamponade. We have employed this method to stabilize the patients who had systolic hypotension. 9. Surgical approaches were performed with median sternotomy in 3 cases, thoracotomy in 4 cases. 10. We undertook the simple closure in 6 penetrating cardiac wounds. The removal of impacted metallic fragment was performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Simple ligation was performed in 2 cases of coronary artery severance 11. One patient with no sign of life was urgently intubated and undertaken an emergency room thoracotomy on the stretch car without antiseptic preparation. The cardiorrhaphy in 6 cases were performed in the operating theater 12. One patient undertaken emergency room thoracotomy did not survive due to refractory hypovolemic shock. But the remaining 6 patients recovered.

  • Certain oriental medication have been shown to be effective in decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance and increasing cardiac output in primary pulmonary artery pressure secondary to pulmonary edema. So oleic acid was administered in 14 dogs in order to induce acute lung injury. And we studied the hemodynamics and blood gas changes of Pyengpaetang(50mg, 100mg) with continuous postive pressure was ventilation in pulmonary edema. The pulmonary edema group, arterial oxygenation was improved after 5 and $10cmH_2O$ PEEP(positive end expiratory pressure), but cardiovascular system was depressed. Blood pressure and cardiac output were decreased, and CVP, MP AP, PCWP were increased. In Pyengpaetang(50mg) group, mean aortic pressure was decreased and PCWP(pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) was decreased remarkably, while there was a significant increase in cardiac output. And there was improvement in $PaO_2$ and $PaCO_2$ without hemodynamic changes after applying 5cm $H_2O$ PEEP, but arterial blood gases$(PaO_2,\;PaCO_2)$ were improved, while cardiovascular effects were depressed after cm $H_2O$ PEEP. In Pyengpaetang(100mg) treated group, there was no significant hemodynamic change. But mean pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly increased, and cardiac output was decreased significantly after applying the more degree of PEEP. And blood gases were not changed significantly after applying the more degree of PEEP. The above results suggest that the effects of Pyengpaetang(50mg) group is superior to those of Pyengpaetang(100mg) group on the effects of hemodynamics and gas exchanges in acute lung injury in dogs. So we can conclude that lower degree PEEP 5cm $H_2O$ is more beneficial in Pyengpaetang(50mg) treated group.

  • Various factors influencing the lymph flow from thoracic duct were investigated in an attempt to evaluate their contributing degree and the mechanisms. Sixteen mongrel dogs weighing between 10 and 16 kg were anesthetized and polyethylene catheters were inserted into the thoracic duct and femoral veins. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, lymph pressure and lymph flow were measured under various conditions. Electrical stimulation of left sciatic nerve, stepwise increase of central venous pressure, manual application of rhythmical depressions onto abdomen, injection of hypertonic saline solution and histamine infusion were employed. Measurement of cental venous pressure was performed through the recording catheter inserted into abdominal inferior vena cava. Changes in central venous pressure were made by an air-ballooning catheter located higher than the tip of the recording catheter in the inferior vena cava. Lymph flow from thoracic duct was measured directly with a graduated centrifuge tube allowing the lymph to flow freely outward through the inserted cannula. The average side pressure of thoracic lymph was $1.1\;cmH_2O$ and lymph flow was 0.40 ml/min or 1.9 ml/kg-hr. Hemodynamic parameters including lymph flow were measure immediately before and after (or during) applying a condition. Stimulation of left sciatic nerve with a square wave (5/sec, 2 msec, 10V) caused the lymph flow to increase 1.4 times. The pattern of lymph flow from thoracic duct was not continuous throughout the respiratory cycle, but was continuous only during Inspiration. Slow and deep respiration appeared to increase the lymph flow than a rapid and shallow respiration. Relationship between central venous pressure and the lymph flow revealed a relatively direct proportionality; Regression equation was Lymph Flow (ml/kg-hr)=0.09 CVP$(cmH_2O)$+0.55, r=0.67. Manual depressions onto the abdomen in accordance with the respiratory cycle caused the lymph flow to increase most remarkably, e.g,. 5.5 times. The application of manual depressions showed a fluctuation of central venous pressure superimposed on the respiratory fluctuation. Hypertonic saline solution (2% NaCl) administered Intravenously by the amount of 10 m1/kg increased the lymph flow 4.6 times. The injection also increased arterial blood pressure, especially systolic Pressure, and the central venous pressure. Slow intravenous infusion of histamine with a rate of 14-32 ${\mu}g/min$ resulted in a remarkable increase in the lymph flow (4.7 times), in spite of much decrease in the blood pressure and a slight decrease in the central venous pressure.

  • Objective: To investigate the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the peri-operative vasomotor cytokine content and intrapulmonary shunt in patients with esophagus cancer who underwent thoracotomy. Materials and Methods: Forty patients undergoing elective resection of esophageal cancer patients who had I~II American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) were randomly divided into total intravenous anesthesia group (group N, n=20) and total intravenous anesthesia combined with SGB group (group S, n=20, 0.12 mL/kg 1% lidocaine was used for SGB 10 min before induction). Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and continuous cardiac output (CCO) were continuously monitored. The blood from internal jugular vein was drawn respectively before induction ($T_0$), and 30 min ($T_1$), 60 min ($T_2$) and 120 min ($T_3$) after one-lung ventilation (OLV), and 30 min (T4) after two-lung ventilation. The contents of plasma endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Meanwhile, arterial and mixed venous blood samples were collected for determination of blood gas and calculation of intrapulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt). Results: During OLV, ET contents were increased significantly in two groups (P<0.05), and no significant difference was presented (P>0.05). NO content in group S was obviously higher than in group N at T3 (P<0.05), whereas CGRP content in group N was markedly lower than in group S at each time point (P<0.05). Qs/Qt was significantly increased in both groups after OLV, but there was no statistical significant regarding the Qs/Qt at each time point between two groups. Conclusions: Total intravenous anesthesia combined with SGB is conducive to regulation of perioperative vasomotor cytokines in thoracotomy, and has little effect on intrapulmonary shunt at the time of OLV.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of tracheal suction and the effects of different methods of bronchodilator inhalation (Ultrasonic nebulizer: MDI puff, MDI puff with spacer) in VSD surgery patients. Material & Method: From June 2001 to March 2002, sixty consecutive patients were randomly assigned to a control group (n= 15), ultrasonic nebulizer group (n=15), metered dose inhalation (MDI) puff group (n=15) and MDI with spacer group (n=15). Vital signs (HR, BP, CVP), ABGA and pulmonary functions were measured before suction (baseline for suction), after suction, 15 minutes after suction (base of bronchodilator inhalation), 30 minutes after bronchodilator inhalation, and 2 hours after bronchodilator inhalation. Stastistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to examine the effects of tracheal suction. One way ANOVA with Bonferroni's correction and multiple range test (the least significant difference test) were used to examine the effects of albuterol inhalation. Result: 1. Heart .ate increased significantly immediately after suction (p<.01) and recovered 15 minutes after suction. 2. $PaO_2$ and PH decreased significantly immediately after suction (p<.05) and $PaO_2$ recovered 15 minutes after suction. $PaCO_2$ increased immediately after suction and significantly 15 minutes after suction (p<.01). But changes in vital signs and ABGA were within the normal range. 3. Tidal volume decreased significantly 15 minutes after suction (p<.05). 4. Changes of HR and tidal volume were greater in the nebuizer group compared to the other groups (p<.05) 30 minutes after bronchodilator inhalation and recovered 2 hours after bronchodilator inhalation. 5. Changes of airway deadspace was greater in the nebulizer group compared to the control group and MDI puff group 30 minutes after albuterol inhalation (p<.05) and at 2 hours (p<.01). Conclusion: Tracheal suction did not have significant effect on vital signs and pulmonary functions after OHS. Although the methods of bronchodilator inhalation did not showed any significant difference on pulmonary function, the nebulizer method increased $PaO_2$ (20%) and tidal volume transiently. If the patient needs bronchodilator inhalation with bronchospasm after OHS, the nebulizer method is the best choice. More study on the effects of bronchodilator inhalation in bronchospasm group is needed.

  • For years, physicians and anatomists have been interested in the heart that has one functioning ventricle. Various terms have been suggested for this entity including single ventricle, common ventricle, double-inlet left ventricle, cor biatriatum triloculare, and primitive ventricle. In this report, the term "single ventricle" is utilized as suggested by Van Praagh, and is defined as that congenital cardiac anomaly in which a common or separate atrioventricular valves open into a ventricular chamber from which both great arterial trunks emerge. An outlet chamber, or infundibulum, may or may not be present and give rise to the origin of either of the great arteries. This definition excludes the entity of mitral and tricuspid atresia. An 11 year old cyanotic boy was admitted chief complaints of exertional dyspnea and frequent upper respiratory infection since 2 weeks after birth. He was diagnosed as inoperable cyanotic congenital heart disease, and remained without any corrective treatment up to his age of 11 year when he suffered from aggravation of symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure for 2 months before this admission. On 22nd of May 1979, he was admitted for total corrective operation under the impression of tricuspid atresia suggested by a pediatrician. Physical check revealed deep cyanosis with finger and toe clubbing, and grade V systolic ejection murmur with single second heart sound was audible at the left 3rd intercostal space. Development was moderate in height [135 cm] and weight[28Kg]. Routine lab findings were normal except increased hemoglobin [21.1gm%], hematocrit [64 %], and left axis deviation with left ventricular hypertrophy on EKG. Cardiac catheterization and angiography revealed 1-transposition of aorta, pulmonic valvular stenosis, double inlet of a single ventricle with d-loop, and normal atriovisceral relationship [Type III C solitus according to the classification of Van Praagh]. At operation, longitudinal incision at the outflow tract of right ventricle in between the right coronary artery and its branch [LAD from RCA] revealed high far anterior aortic valve which had fibrous continuity with mitral annulus, and pulmonic valve was stenotic up to 4 mm in diameter positioned posterolaterally to the aorta. Ventricular septum was totally defective, and one markedly hypertrophied moderator band originated from crista supraventricularis was connected down to the imaginary septum of the ventricular cavity as a pseudoseptum of the ventricle. Size of the defect was 3X3 cm2 in total. Patch closure of the defect with a Teflon felt of 3.5 x 4 cm2 was done with interrupted multiple sutures after cut off of the moderator band, which was resutured to the artificial septum after reconstruction of the ventricular septum. Pulmonic valvotomy was done from 4 mm to 11 mm in diameter thru another pulmonary arteriotomy incision, and right ventriculotomy wound was closed reconstructing the right ventricular outflow tract with pericardial autograft of 3 x 4 cm2. Atrial septal defect of 2 cm in diameter was closed with 3-0 Erdeck suture, and atrial wall was sutured also when rectal temperature reached from 24`C to 35.5`C. Complete A-V block was managed with temporary external pacemaker with a pacing rate of 110/min. thru myocardial wire, and arterial blood pressure of 80/50 mmHg was maintained with Isuprel or Dopamine dripping under the CVP of 25-cm saline. Consciousness was recovered one hour after the operation when his blood pressure reached 100 /70 mmHg, but vital signs were not stable, and bleeding from the pericardial drainage and complete anuria were persisted until his heart could not capture the pacemaker impulse, and patient died of low output syndrome 320 min after the operation.
