흉부둔상에 의한 심막기종은 매우 드물다. 교통사고에 의해 응급실로 내원한 환자로 초기 흉부단순 촬영에서는 발견되지 않았으나, 흉부단층촬영상 좌측 기흉과 함께 심막기종이 발견되어 좌측 흉막에 관을 삽입한 후 해결된 경우가 있어 보고한다.

Korea has entered to 'aged society', which the elderly people over 65 years old is over 14% of total population. This paper aims to analyze the traffic accident by aging level. In pursuing the above, this paper focuses on modeling the traffic accident severity based on three aging levels. The main results are as follows. First, the ratio of fatal and serious injured persons (FSI) is judged to increase according to increasing aging level. Second, the null hypothesis that there is no difference in FSI among three aging levels (aging, aged, and super-aged) is rejected. Four accident severity generalized linear models which are all statistically significant have been developed. Third, the common variables are analyzed to be median age, the number of hospital beds per persons, and turn signal usage ratio. Fourth, the differentiated traffic safety policies fitted to aging levels are required. The enforcement of traffic law violation and safety enhancement of motorcycle in the region of 'aging society', improvement of traffic facilities in the region of 'aged society', and expansion of transportation facilities in the region of 'super-aged society' are evaluated to be indispensable.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between injury and injury severity score (ISS) in geriatric traffic accident patients transported by 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Methods: The subjects were 240 traffic accident patients over 65 years old transported by 119 rescue services emergency departments in Busan from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015. Results: ISS increased in motorcycle traffic accidents (p=.026), truck injuries (p=.005), and head and neck injury (p<.001). Vital signs were evaluated by 119 rescue EMT. ISS increased in cases of unresponsive unconsciousness (p<.001), hypotension (p=.001), and bradycardia (p<.001). The need for bleeding control and dressing by the EMTs increased ISS significantly (p=.022). Conclusion: In the initial evaluation of geriatric traffic patients, ISS can increase in motor cycle accidents and truck injuries. Due to high ISS, patients with head and neck injury, chest injury, hypotension, or tachycardia should be transferred to advanced level hospitals.

Radiography should be used judiciously and should not delay patients resuscitation. In the patient with emergency multiple trauma, three radiography should be obtained-cervical spine, anteroposterior(AP) chest, and AP pelvis. These examinations can be done in the resuscitation area, usually with a portable X-ray unit, but should not interrupt the resuscitation process. A retrospective study was carried on 157 emergency multiple trauma patients who were admitted to Yong Dong Severance Hospital from January, to December in 1995. I analyzed the types of X-ray examinations in emergency multiple trauma patients, and classified the patients by disoriented group of mentality. The results were as follows: 1. The subjects were 7.1%(157patients) of 2,208 trauma patients(7.3%) in total 30,085 emergency patients. 2. Male to female ratio was 2.57 : 1. The age distribution was highest from 31 years to 40 years(28.0% ). 3. The peak time of patient's entrance in emergency center was between 8 : 00 pm and 2 : 00 am(36.9%), and second peak time was between 2 : 00 pm and 8 : 00 pm (29.3%). 4. According to the injury type, traffic accident, motorcycle accident and falling down were 71.3%, 8.3% and 20.4% respectively. 5. According to the exposure rate of Computed Tomography, chest CT, cervical CT pelvis CT and brain CT were 39.5%, 24.2%, 69.4% and 51.6% respectively.

Traumatic chylothorax after blunt chest trauma alone is considered rare. Our patient was a 27-year-old female who was in a motorcycle accident and sustained blunt thoracic and traumatic thoracic aortic injuries with T1-T2 vertebral subluxation. She underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair from T4 to T9 without any thoracic or spinal surgery. On postoperative day 7, the drainage from her left chest turned into a milky-white fluid indicative of chyle leakage. The patient was treated conservatively for 2 weeks and then the chest drain was safely removed. The results show that traumatic chylothorax can be successfully managed with conservative treatment.

Total extrusion of the talus is a very rare injury. If the talus is found in a short time, it can be restored to its original position. If the talus is missing or found too late, however, surgeons may attempt tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis or use a pseudoarthrosis without repositioning the talus. As direct tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis may shorten the lower extremity, tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using a sandwich block can be performed. We performed tibiocalcaneonavicular arthrodesis using a sandwich block to treat a patient with open talus extrusion caused by a motorcycle accident and obtained good clinical results.

27세 남자 환자가 오토바이 사고로 인한 급성전벽 심근경색증으로 내원하였다. 흉부에 손상의 흔적은 없었으며 심초음파검사상 전벽의 이상운동증과 미미한 심낭삼출액이 보였다. 관상동맥조영술상 좌전하행지 근위부에 박리가 있었고, 좌심실조영술상 심첨부에 좌심실류 및 혈전이 관찰되어 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였다.

Minimal change disease (MCD) in children has a favorable long-term prognosis, and development of end-stage renal disease is very uncommon; less than 5%. In the first case of its kind, we report a 21-year-old female with a history of MCD at the age of 6, who had late relapse subsequent to a motorcycle accident resulting in a de-gloving skin injury and intensive care unit admission. MCD was confirmed by normal light microscopy, podocyte effacement on electron microscopy and absence of any deposits on immunofluorescence 3 weeks after the incident due to critical illness. It is postulated that the skin injury is what caused the relapse of MCD.

Azygos vein injuries are rare consequences of blunt trauma. When there is high drainage output from a right-sided intercostal catheter, an azygos injury must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 38-year-old male patient involved in a fall from a height during a motorcycle accident. Computed tomography demonstrated a large right-sided hemothorax and left-sided pneumothorax. The patient was transferred to the operating theatre and underwent a clamshell thoracotomy. A laceration in the azygos vein at the confluence of the arch of the azygos and the right superior intercostal vein was identified. Bleeding was controlled at the trifurcation. The patient survived and was discharged home on postoperative day 15.

본 연구의 목적은 노인 운수사고 입원 환자의 운수사고 유형과 사망 사이의 연관성을 분석하여, 노인 운수사고 입원 및 사망 환자를 줄이기 위한 운수사고 유형에 따른 체계적이고 효과적인 정책 개발 및 수립에 기여하기 위함이다. 본 연구의 방법은 2013-2017년의 질병관리본부 퇴원손상심층조사 데이터세트 중 운수사고를 입은 노인 입원환자를 추출하여 기술통계분석, 카이제곱검정과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 인구사회학적, 의료기관, 의료이용 특성을 보정한 상태에서 분석한 결과 운수사고로 인한 노인의 입원 사망은 승용차 사고에 비하여 보행자 사고(OR : 2.522 95% CI 1.291-4.927), 자전거/카트 사고(OR : 2.809 95% CI 1.328-5.942), 오토바이 사고(OR : 2.330 95% CI 1.126-4.819)로 인한 사망이 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 이와 같이 노인의 경우 승용차 사고로 인한 사망에 비하여 다른 유형의 운수사고로 인한 사망의 위험이 높지만, 우리나라 노인의 운수사고 관련 정책은 승용차 사고에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 증가하는 노인 집단의 운수사고 사망자를 줄이기 위하여 노인 집단의 운수사고 유형별 특성에 따른 효과적인 정책적 고려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
