Simultaneous triple valve replacements were performed in two patients on January and April 1980 at Seoul National University Hospital. The first case was 17 years old male patient with a history of exertional dyspnea for 7 years. He was in class III by the NYHA functional classification and diagnosed as aortic insufficiency, mitral steno-insufficiency and tricuspid insufficiency. The second case was 46 years old male patient suffered from exertional dyspnea for 5 years, He was in class IV and diagnosed as aortic stenoinsufficiency, mitral stenoinsufficiency and tricuspid insufficiency. Triple valve replacements were performed under the deep hypothermia and pharmacologic cardiac arrest with aortic cross clamping for 80 minutes to 159 minutes. Total extracorporeal circulation time were 197 and 176 minutes respectively. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

Debriefing is a conversational session that revolves around the sharing and examining of information after a specific event has taken place. Debriefing may follow a simulated or actual experience and provides a forum for the learners to reflect on the experience and learn from their mistakes. Originating from the military and aviation industry, it is used on a daily basis to reflect and improve the performance in other high-risk industries. Expert debriefers may facilitate the reflection by asking open-ended questions to probe into the framework of the learners and apply lessons learned to future situations. Debriefing has been proven to improve clinical outcomes such as the return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest and the teaching of teamwork and communication in pediatrics. Incorporating debriefing into clinical practice would facilitate the cultural change necessary to talk more openly about team performance and learn from near misses, errors, and successes that will improve not only clinical outcome but also patient safety.

The dissecting aneurysms of the posterior cerebral circulation arise most commonly from the vertebral artery and occasionally extend to the posterior inferior cerebellar artery[PICA]. The dissecting aneurysm localized in the PICA without involving the vertebral artery is rare. We present a PICA dissecting aneurysm that had kaleidoscopic clinical course of bleeding, occlusion, and recanalization before the surgery. The patient had serial follow-up angiograms based on significant changes of clinical status. The patient successfully underwent microsurgical trapping with clips for the dissecting aneurysm and showed neurological improvement.

Headache is symptom of many people suffered. It caused simply by fatigue, stress, but it also caused by inflammation, mechanical or chemical stimulus, circulation disorder, brain damage. Modern societies develop rapidly by traffic system. But lately it suffering with many traffic problem. Traffic accident is most important of many traffic problem. We experienced a 35 year-old female who complained headache, caused by a traffic accident that happened 22 month ago. We treated the patient by the way of Eo-hyeol (瘀血) type of headache with Herbal medication and Acupuncture. After being treated, the patient show that symptoms(headache, insomnia, anorexia) was improved considerably. This result suggests that oriental medicine treatment has good effect on headache due to traffic accident.

Norwood 시술에 있어서 체순환 혈관을 넓히는 데 동종 혈관을 이용한 방법이 많이 알려져 있으나, 동종 혈관은 숫자적으로 제한적이고 구하기 어려운 점이 있다. 본원에서는 생후 23일로 여러 부위의 좌심실 유출로 협착이 있는 남아(2.2 kg)와 생후 9일로 좌심실형성부전증 남아(3.0 kg)에서 우심낭으로 체순환 유출로 모양을 재단하여 사용하였다. 이 방법은 술식이 쉽고 재현 가능성이 높으며 동종혈관처 럼 매우 효과적이다.

The syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion(SIADH) is a clinical disorder in which there is continual release of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) unrelated to plasma osmolality. It may occur usually in association with malignant tumors below the clavicle and other pulmonary disorders which are capable of synthesizing, storing and releasing ADH into the circulation but rarely with the head and neck tumors yet. We experienced a patient with unexplained hyponatremia associated with laryngeal carcinoma. The clinical and laboratory diagnostic studies suggested that patient's sodium deficiency was secondary to the SIADH. Subsequent resection of the neoplasm, total laryngectomy led to resolution of hyponatremia, suggesting that a tumor associated humoral factor, such as vasopressin or vasopressin like substance, was responsible for the electrolyte disturbance.

Objective : Cold Urticaria is a symptom of edema and pruritus that appear when a patient is exposed to the coldness. The effect of Bee-venom Acpuncture Therapy is antiinflammatory, pain-killing, and blood circulation promotion. The aim of this study is to report the effect of Bee-venom Acpuncture Therapy to Cold Urticaria. Methods : The Cold Urticaria patients were treated with Bee-venom Acpuncture Therapy. Result and Conclusion : Edema and Pruritus of Cold Urticaria patient improved after Bee-venom Acpuncture Therapy.

Intraventricular hemorrhage long after successful encephaloduroarterio synangiosis (EDAS) is very rare. The effect of revascularization surgery for preventing hemorrhagic event of moyamoya disease remains controversial. We report a 17-year-old female with intracerebral hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrahge 10 years after successful EDAS. Even though cerebral vessels angiography showed good collateral circulations without specific weak points, a cerebral hemorrhage could occur in patient with ischemic type of moyamoya disease long after successful indirect bypass operations. Good collateralization of cerebral angiography or magnetic resonance perfusion image after indirect bypass surgery would ensure against ischemic symptoms, not a hemorrhage. And, thus a life-time follow-up strategy might be necessary even if a good collateral circulation has been established.

The purpose of this study is to suggest reasonable composition and layout of a nurse station and attached spaces-which are central sector of patient caring in the inpatient department- in the view of funtional efficiency. The method of this study is examining other studies and case study of inpatient department in general hospitals. through this research we find out the plan type of inpatient department and layout of nurse station and attached spaces in the view of 'the efficiency of circulation' and 'the easiness of observation' . It is also found out that the nursing delivery system effects to the composition and layout of nurse station attached spaces. Therefore, the efficient design of inpatient department by this study can accomplish 'patient-focused' medical environment and aid to develop their health.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The patient was 17 year old female whose complaints were mild fever and profuse purulent sputum. Chest film showed a large thin walled cystic lesion with air-fluid level at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 9x8x3 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. And the aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, a left lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.
