Ketamine is used widely in emergency departments for a variety of purposes, including procedural sedation for facial laceration in pediatric patients. The major benefits are its rapid onset of effects, relatively short half-life, and lack of respiratory depression. The known side effects of ketamine are hallucinations, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Seizure is not a known side effect of ketamine in patients without a seizure history. Here, we present the case of a patient in whom ketamine likely induced a generalized tonic-clonic seizure when used as a single agent in procedural sedation for facial laceration repair. The aim of this article is to report a rare and unexpected side effect of ketamine used at the regular dose for procedural sedation. This novel case should be of interest to not only emergency physicians but also plastic surgeons.

본 고는 치위생 임상업무를 수행하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 외상성 치은 손상에 대처하기 위한 방법으로서 조직접착제의 활용 방안에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 시아노아크릴레이트 조직접착제는 조직 표층의 열창을 기존 봉합법에 의하지 않고 화학물질에 의한 접착 방식으로 폐쇄하기 위한 용도로서 그 동안 구강외과나 치주수술 분야에서 그 응용이 모색되어 왔다. 치과위생사가 치석제거 및 치근활택술 등의 시술 과정에서 부적절하거나 과도한 기구조작에 의해 치은이나 구강점막에 열창이 초래될 수 있다. 이러한 상황에 발생하였을 경우, 조직접착제를 이용하여 열창을 폐쇄하면 매우 효과적이며 단순하고 편리하다. 조직접착제는 n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate로 구성되어 있으며, 조직의 수분과 접촉하면 빠르게 중합되어 접착력을 나타낸다. 조직접착제를 이용한 치은열창의 처치는 그 심미적 결과가 양호하며, 추가적인 조직 손상이 없을 뿐 아니라 시술 방법이 간단하여 시간이 적게 소요된다. 또한 국소마취가 필요치 않으며, 창상 소독이나 봉합사 제거를 위해 환자가 다시 내원하지 않아도 되는 등의 여러 임상적 장점이 있다. 창상의 감염 방지나 지혈 작용 등에도 효과적이다. 조직접착제는 치위생 임상에서 발생할 수 있는 조직손상에 대한 처치법으로서 환자나 치과위생사 모두에게 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

Background Topical anesthetics, such as eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream, can be applied to reduce pain before minor procedure. This trial evaluated EMLA as pretreatment for facial lacerations and compared pain, discomfort and overall satisfaction. Methods This trial included consecutive emergency department patients ${\geq}16years$ of age who presented with simple facial lacerations. At triage, lacerations were allotted to either the routine processing group or EMLA pretreatment group according to date of admission. Initially, the emergency department doctors inspected each laceration, which were dressed with saline-soaked gauze. In the pretreatment group, EMLA cream was applied during wound inspection. The plastic surgeon then completed primary closure following the local injection of an anesthetic. After the procedure, all patients were given a questionnaire assessing pain using the 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) ("no pain" to "worst pain"). All questionnaires were collected by the emergency department nurse before discharge. Results Fifty patients were included in the routine processing group, and fifty patients were included in the EMLA pretreatment group. Median age was 39.9 years, 66% were male, and the average laceration was 2.67 cm in length. The EMLA pretreatment group reported lower pain scores in comparison with the routine processing group (2.4 vs. 4.5 on VAS, P<0.05), and lower discomfort scores during the procedure (2.0 vs. 3.3, P=0.60). Overall satisfaction was significantly higher in the EMLA pretreatment group (7.8 vs. 6.1, P<0.05). Conclusions Pretreating facial lacerations with EMLA topical cream aids patients by reducing pain and further enhancing overall satisfaction during laceration treatment.

Rupture or laceration of the aorta is a more common result of nonpenetrating traumatic injury than is generally appreciated. If the lesion is promptly diagnosed, a appropriate surgical treatment may be life-saving. Diagnosis may be difficult and at times the rupture may remain clinically silent for variable period.< A 34 - year old male patient had sustained steering wheel injury to his chest during automobile accident 8 weeks prior to admission. The diagnosis of traumatic aneurysm of the aorta was delayed as he was asymptomatic. Surgical repair of false aneurysm of the descending aorta was successfully performed by partial cardiopulmonary bypass through the femoral artery and vein.

A number of centers have recorded a significant incidence of primary tissue valve failure with the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve. Clinically, Endothelialization and host tissue ingrowth on the cloth and the leaflets at the edge of the frame greatly reduced the amounts of abrasion and the incidence of tissue failure. In most cases severe regurgitation was caused by leaflet tears adjacent to the edge of the cloth-covered stent. We report a case of spontaneous disruption of one cusp on the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial xenograft in mitral position at 6years and its successful management.

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula is relatively uncommon. The proper designation for what is called a false aneurysm is pulsating hematoma, which occurs when there is a small laceration of the wall of a large artery will continuing leakage of blood from the artery into surrounding tissues. The extent of growth of the pulsating hematoma depends on the strength of the surrounding fascial tissues. We experienced one case of arteriovenous fistula with hematoma, due to operative injuries, and operated successfully, and report the case.

A partial obstruction of small intestine was diagnosed by physical and radiographic examination in a dog which had signs of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration The dog was treated by surgical method. String-like foreign body was located from stomach to upper jejunum. Diffuse laceration, inflammation and perforation caused by foreign body were observed in intestine. Intestinal resection was carried out to remove the foreign body from upper duodenum to upper jejunum. The dog was convalesced successfully after operation.

경부의 외상은 정도의 차이는 있으나 위급한 경우가 많다. 이러한 경우 신속한 처치는 환자의 구명과 직결되는 것이다. 저자들은 정신과적인 문제가 있는 19세 된 남자가 전경부, 복부, 양측 전박부에 자해상(다발성 열상)을 가하고 내원한 례를 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰을 가하여 보고하는 바이다.

A 42-year old male was seen with symptoms of dysphagia, chest pain and dyspnea of 9 months duration. A benign tumor of the posterior mediastinum was diagnosed from x-ray studies and a transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy which was inconclusive. A left thoracotomy revealed a huge mass occupying the retrocardiac space and the contra-lateral mediastinum. It was resected by blunt dissection and, during this process, a 3.0 cm laceration was created in the esophageal wall. This was repaired with Tevdec sutures and staplers and was reinforced with an intercostal muscle flap to prevent leakage. The postoperative course was entirely uneventful.

Massive gastric mucosal ruptures during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with esophageal hiatal hernias are rare. However, tearing of the gastric mucosa alone, without tearing of the gastroesophageal junction, is even rarer. This study reports a case of a large mucosal rupture that occurred on the posterior wall of the upper body of the stomach during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in an 83-year-old woman with an esophageal hiatal hernia while sedated. The patient was treated with endoclips for the rupture.
