배경: 급성 대동맥 박리증 중 대동맥궁의 박리 및 수술을 요하는 경우 진단, 수술방법, 수술결과에 있어 차이가 있을 수 있다. 대동맥궁의 박리를 교정하기 위해서 저체온 순환정지하에서 뇌관류를 시행한다. 대동맥궁의 수술이 필요한 대동맥 박리증에서 역행성 뇌관류에 의한 수술결과를 조사하고 그 안정성을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2002년 6월까지 대동맥궁을 침범한 급성대동맥 박리증의 수술 환자 22예를 대상으로 하였다. 22예 중 20예에서 저체온 순환정지 하에 역행성 뇌관류를 시행하였다. 역행성 뇌관류를 시행한 20예 중 19예에서는 상대정맥을 통해 뇌관류를 시행하였고 1예에서는 상대정맥의 접근이 어려워 역행성 체정맥 관류를 시행하였다. 직장온도 16∼18도에서 순환정지를 시행했고 역행성 관류압 20∼30 mmHg에서 평균 관류량은 분당 481.1$\pm$292.9 $m\ell$이었다. 결과: 병원사망은 2예(9.1%)였으며 만기사망은 1예(4.5%)였다. 평균 순환정지(역행성 뇌관류) 시간은 54.0$\pm$13.4분(범위, 7∼145분)이었다 역행성 뇌관류 시간은 의식 및 지남력 회복, 호흡기 탈거 시간과 상관관계가 없었고(각각 p=0.35, 0.86, 0.92), 의식출현과 지남력 회복이 빠른 환자에서 호흡기 탈거도 빨랐다(각각 r=0.850, r=926; p=0.000). 70분 이상의 역행성 뇌관류가 의식출현, 지남력 회복, 호흡기 탈거 시간, 운동력회복 및 입원기간에 영향을 주지 않았다(각각 p=0.42, 0.57, 0.60, 0.83, 0.51). 결론: 저체온 순환정지하에 역행성 뇌관류로써 대동맥궁을 포함한 대동맥박리증 수술 시 뇌관류 시간은 의식회복과 호흡기 탈거, 신경학적 합병증, 수술 후 회복기간에 영향을 주지 않는다고 생각된다.

Objective : This study was conducted to compare the effect of etomidate with that of thiopental on brain protection during temporary vessel occlusion, which was measured by burst suppression rate (BSR) with the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor. Methods : Temporary parent artery occlusion was performed in forty one patients during cerebral aneurysm surgery. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with 1.5-2.5 vol% sevoflurane and 50% $N_2O$. The pharmacological burst suppression (BS) was induced by a bolus injection of thiopental (5 mg/kg, group T) or etomidate (0.3 mg/kg, group E) according to randomization prior to surgery. After administration of drugs, the hemodynamic variables, the onset time of BS, the numerical values of BIS and BSR were recorded at every minutes. Results : There were no significant differences of the demographics, the BIS numbers and the hemodynamic variables prior to injection of drugs. The durations of burst suppression in group E ($11.1{\pm}6.8$ min) were not statistically different from that of group T ($11.1{\pm}5.6$ min) and nearly same pattern of burst suppression were shown in both groups. More phenylephrine was required to maintain normal blood pressure in the group T. Conclusion : Thiopental and etomidate have same duration and a similar magnitude of burst suppression with conventional doses during temporary arterial occlusion. These findings suggest that additional administration of either drug is needed to ensure the BS when the temporary occlusion time exceed more than 11 minutes. Etomidate can be a safer substitute for thiopental in aneurysm surgery.

Diagnostic reference level (DRL) is employed to optimize the radiation doses of patients. The objective of this study is to review the DRLs for interventional procedures in Korea and abroad. Literature review was performed to investigate radiation dose index and measurement methodology commonly used in DRL determination. Dose area product (DAP) and fluoroscopy time within each major procedure category were systematically abstracted and analyzed. A wide variation was found in the radiation dose. The DAP values and fluoroscopy times ranged 0.01-3,081 Gy·㎠ and 2-16,878 seconds for all the interventional procedures, 8.5-1,679 Gy·㎠ and 32-5,775 seconds for the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and 0.1-686 Gy·㎠ and 16-6,636 seconds for the transfemoral cerebral angiography (TFCA), respectively. The DRL values of the DAP and fluoroscopy time were 238 Gy·㎠ and 1,224 seconds for the TACE and 189 Gy·㎠ and 686 seconds for the TFCA, respectively. Generally, the DRLs of Korea were lower than those of other developed countries, except for the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent in arteries of the lower extremity (LE PTA and stent), aneurysm coil embolization, and Hickman insertion procedures. The wide variation in the radiation doses of the different procedures suggests that more attention must be paid to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from medical imaging. Furthermore, periodic nationwide survey of medical radiation exposures is necessary to optimize the patient dose for radiation protection, which will ultimately contribute to patient dose reduction and radiological safety.

A 21 years old male student was admitted because of mediastinal mass that was noticed in routine physical examination. He complained progressive hoarseness, mild dysphagia, and anterior chest pain on deep respiration. This mediastinal mass was diagnosed as aortic aneurysm involving ascending, transverse, and descending thoracic aorta with aid of aortogram. Total prosthetic replacement of aneurysm was performed successfully using extracorporeal circulation and hypothermia. For myocardial protection during aortic cross clamping, cardioplegic solution was used and topical myocardial cooling was also adapted For simplicity of cardiopulmonary bypass, Y-shaped connectors took cerebral perfusion catheters to the main perfusion line beyond the arterial pump. Total bypass time was 219 minutes, and aortic cross clamp time was 104 minutes. Recovery was uneventful except respiratory insufficiency for first 4 days. Isotope aortogram checked on post operative 30th day showed normal aortic configuration. He was discharged on post operative 35th day. A follow-up chest X-ray study 5 months later showed nearly normal anatomy.

The authors report a case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage of Hunt and Hess grade IV after the rupture of a giant aneurysm arising from the right internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was clipped successfully with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass(closed chest method), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and cerebral protection with barbiturate resulting in moderate disability. We discuss the usefulness and problems related to technique of circulatory arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass using closed chest method, and suggest the possible benefits of open chest method in elderly people and the importance of preoperative plan to coordinate anesthesia and operation.

Ginseng root has been considered to prevent neuronal degeneration associated with brain ischemia, but experimental proof in support of this speculation is limited. Moreover, few studies have compared the neuroprotective actions of ginseng ingredients with those of peptide growth factors and cytokines isf vivo. Using a gerbil forebrain ischemia model, we demonstrated that the oral administration of red ginseng powder before an ischemic insult prevents delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal CAI field and that a neuroprotective molecule within red ginseng powder is ginsenoside Rbl. The neurotrophic effect of ginsenoside Rbl, when examined in the gerbil ischemia model and in neuronal cultures was as potent as or more potent than the effects of epidermal growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor, erythropoietin, prosaposin, interleukin-6 and interleukin-3. Besides the protection of hippocampal CAI neurons against brain ischemia/repercussion injuries, ginsenoside Rbl was shown to prevent place navigation disability, cortical infarction and secondary thalamic degeneration in stroke-prone spontaneous hypertensive rats with permanent occlusion of the unilateral middle cerebral artery distal to the striate branches. These findings may validate the empirical use of ginseng root for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases

뇌신경계 인터벤션 시술은 장시간의 시술로 인해 피부의 수포, 탈모, 홍반 등의 방사선 피폭으로 인한 위해가 빈번히 보고되고 있다. 인체공학적으로 제작된 Bismuth (원자번호 83;Bi) 차폐체를 뇌혈관계 인터벤션 시술에 적용함으로써 의료방사선 피폭으로부터 두피 및 수정체의 방사선 피폭을 최소화하고자 하였다. 측정 부위는 4부위로 후두부(9 points), 양쪽 측두부(12 points), 양쪽 수정체부(6 points), 코 끝부(6 points)이며, 측정 소자는 광자극 형광 선량계(Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeter: OSLD)를 각 지점(points)에 측정기를 부착 후 자체 제작된 Bismuth차폐 기구를 사용 전(A그룹)과 후(B그룹)를 측정한 후 피부표면선량(entrance surface dose)을 비교 분석하였다. A 그룹(Bismuth unshield)과 B 그룹(Bismuth shield)의 피부선량 평균은 A 그룹은 92.44 mGy였고, B 그룹은 67.55 mGy로 측정되었다. A 그룹에 비해 B 그룹에서 평균 26.92% 감소되었다. 후두부의 피부선량 평균은 A 그룹(9 point)은 146.08 mGy, B 그룹(9 point)은 103.23 mGy로 측정되었고 A 그룹에 비해 B 그룹에서 평균 29.32 % 감소하였다. 측두부의 피부선량 평균은 A 그룹(6 point)은 101.90 mGy, B 그룹(6 point)은 72.69 mGy로 측정되었고 A 그룹에 비해 B 그룹에서 평균 28.67% 감소하였다. 수정체부의 피부선량 평균은 A 그룹(3 point)은 27.51 mGy, B 그룹(3 point)은 21.39 mGy로 측정되었고 A 그룹에 비해 B 그룹에서 평균 22.26% 감소하였다. Bismuth 차폐체의 사용은 뇌혈관 중재적 시술 후 나타날 수 있는 일시적 탈모 및 기타 확률적 영향에 따른 방사선 장해를 감소시킬 수 있는 대안이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Selective antegrade perfusion via axillary artery cannulation along with circulatory arrest under deep hypothermia has became a recent trend for performing surgery on the ascending aorta and aortic arch and when direct aortic cannulation is not feasible. The authors of this study tried using moderate hypothermia with right brachial and femoral artery perfusion to complement the pitfalls of single axillary artery cannulation and deep hypothermia. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 patients who received ascending aorta or aortic arch replacement between July 2005 and May 2010. The adverse outcomes included operative mortality, permanent neurologic dysfunction and temporary neurologic dysfunction. Results: Of these 36 patients, 32 (88%) were treated as emergencies. The mean age of the patients was 61.9 years (ranging from 29 to 79 years) and there were 19 males and 17 females. The principal diagnoses for the operation were acute type A aortic dissection (31, 86%) and aneurysmal disease without aortic dissection (5, 14%). The performed operations were ascending aorta replacement (9, 25%), ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement (13, 36%), ascending aorta and total arch replacement (13, 36%) and total arch replacement only (1, 3%). The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was $209.4{\pm}85.1$ minutes, and the circulatory arrest with selective antegrade perfusion time was $36.1{\pm}24.2$ minutes. The lowest core temperature was $24{\pm}2.1^{\circ}C$. There were five deaths within 30 post-op days (mortality: 13.8%). Two patients (5.5%) had minor neurologic dysfunction and six patients, including three patients who had preoperative cerebral infarction or unconsciousness, had major neurologic dysfunction (16.6%). Conclusion: When direct aortic cannulation is not feasible for ascending aorta and aortic arch replacement, the right brachial and femoral artery can be used as arterial perfusion routes with the patient under moderate hypothermia. This technique resulted in acceptable outcomes.

배경: 저체온은 뇌 대사를 억제하여 뇌를 보호한다고 알려져 있으며, 대동맥 질환 수술 시 완전 순환 정지전에 충분히 시행되고 있다. 일반적으로 임상에서 직장 또는 비인두 온도를 지표로 순환정지를 시행하고 있으나, 순환정지 시 적절한 저체온의 온도 범위나 순환정지 온도를 결정하는 객관적인 지표에 대해서는 아직 명확한 결론이 없다. 본 연구는 수술 중 뇌파검사를 이용해 완전 순환 정지 시 안전한 직장 및 비인두 온도의 적정 수준을 확인하고, 적절한 저체온의 지표로서 뇌파검사의 역할을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 3월부터 2000년 8월 31일까지 대동맥 질환으로 대동맥 인조혈관 치환수술 동안 뇌파검사를 병행하면서 완전 순환 정지를 했던 27명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 직장 온도와 비인두 온도를 마취유도부터 계속 감시하였으며, 뇌파검사는 10개의 채널로 마취유도부터 뇌 전위 고요상태(electrocerebral silence) 가지 관찰하였다 결과: 뇌 전위 고요 상태에 도달했을 때의 직장 온도와 비인두 온도는 일정한 범위에 있지 않고 다양한 값(직장 11$^{\circ}C$~$25^{\circ}C$; 비인두 7.7$^{\circ}C$ ~23$^{\circ}C$)을 보였으며, 두 온도 사이에 서로 관련이 없었다(p=0.171). 체외순환을 시작하여 뇌 전위 고요상태에 이르기까지 냉각 시간은 25~127분으로 다양하였으며, 환자의 체표면적과 연관이 있었다(p=0.027). 결과: 뇌 전위 고요상태는 다양한 체온에서 발생했으며, 임상에서 일반적으로 적용되는 직장 및 비인두 온도는 뇌 전위 고요상태를 지적할 수 없었다. 그러므로 심혈관계 수술 시 체온에 근거한 저체온 완전 순환 정지는 뇌의 보호를 확신할 수 없으며, 수술 중 뇌파검사의 관찰은 안전한 순환정지를 위한 적절한 저체온의 수준을 확보하기 위해 필요하며 합리적인 방법이었다.
