Still a lethal injury, traumatic rupture of thoracic aorta occurs more frequently than we expect and comprises significant part of causes of deaths by blunt trauma. We recently experienced a thoracic aortic rupture accompanied by multiple injuries including pericardial and interatrial septal rupture and myocardial contusion in a patient who had been injured in a fall accident. Literatures are reviewed with the concern of early diagnosis, surgical technique and the result of operation.

After over one decade development, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely accepted for clinical application in almost every field of dentistry. Meanwhile, the radiation dose of CBCT to patient has also caused broad concern. According to the literature, the effective radiation doses of CBCTs in nowadays market fall into a considerably wide range that is from $19{\mu}Sv$ to $1073{\mu}Sv$ and closely related to the imaging detector, field of view, and voxel sizes used for scanning. To deeply understand the potential risk from CBCT, this report also reviewed the effective doses from literatures on intra-oral radiograph, panoramic radiograph, lateral and posteroanterior cephalometric radiograph, multi-slice CT, and so on. The protection effect of thyroid collar and leaded glasses were also reviewed.

이 연구는 간호사의 환자안전 인식에 대한 조사이다. 이 조사는 2차, 3차의료기관 886명 간호사를 조사했다. 그것은 미국 AHRQ가 개발한 Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture를 김 등이 번역한 것을 수정하여 사용하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 환자안전문화에 관한 인식은 3.46(${\pm}$0.37) 로 보통 이상이었다. 2) 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 환자안전문화에 대한 인식의 차이는 2년미만인 간호사와 주 45시간미만 근무자가 환자안전점수가 유의하게 높았다. 3) 환자안전활동수준은 3.79(${\pm}$0.56)이었다. 결론적으로 첫째, 병원간호사의 인력충원, 간호등급 상향조정, 적정근무시간 이 필요하다. 둘째, 자발적으로 보고 할 수 있는 제도가 필요하다.

Bladder rupture following blunt trauma is rare, and no neobladder rupture following blunt trauma has yet been reported. We present a case of neobladder rupture following blunt trauma. The patient was a 65-year-old male patient who had been treated for bladder cancer via a radical cystectomy with an orthotopic ileal neobladder four years prior to this admission, and who was admitted to our emergency department due to multiple trauma after a 1.5 m fall. Primary repair was performed for the neobladder rupture.

Clinical analysis were performed on 247 cases of thoracic trauma, those were admitted & treated at the department of thoracic & cardiovascular surgery,Hanyang University Hospital during the period from Jan,1989 to June,1992. Age distribution of those was from 2 to 80 years old & mean age was 38 years old. The ratio of male to female patient was 186:61 [3:1].This ratio revealed high incidence in male patient. The most common cause of trauma was traffic accident in this series.The modes of injury were as follows: traffic accident 124 cases[50.2%],fall down 52 cases[21.05%], stab wound 47 cases[19.03%] and gun-shut wound 1 case.Ellapse time from accident to admission were 141 cases [57.09%] under 6 hr.Rib fracture were observed in 159 cases[64.37%], hemo or pneumothorax were observed 134 cases[54.25%] of total cases and location distributed Right:Left:Both[74:112:37], in left predominant. Conservative,non-operative treatment were performed in 128 cases and operation[open thoracotomy] 32 cases.Mortality was 1.6%[4 cases] & most common cause of death were due to irreversible shock with brain edema. Conclusively, more evaluation & co-operation of other department were expected treatment & better prognosis.

Mortality associated with maxillofacial infection is relatively low due to the development of antibiotics, and improved oral care. However, inappropriate treatment, delayed treatment, old age, underlying systemic disease, and drug-resistant micro-organisms can potentially result in life threatening situations such as cavernous sinus thrombosis, mediastinitis, and sepsis. Sepsis is the most dangerous state with high mortality, ranging from 20~60%. The treatment of sepsis involves properly monitoring vital functions, fluid resuscitation, surgical drainage, and empirical use of high doses of antibiotics until culture results are available. Ventilatory support maybe be required as well. We encountered a 64-year-old patient who died from sepsis that developed as the result of an odontogenic infection. The initial diagnosis was right temporal, infraorbital, buccal, pterygomandibular space abscess. Despite surgical and medical supportive care, the condition progressed to sepsis and after four days the patient died due to multiple organ failure.

Foreign body aspiration in dental clinics is the most common cause of respiratory emergencies. There are no reports on foreign body aspiration during dental treatment under stable general anesthesia because the patient neither has voluntary movements nor reflex actions. This is a case report on the fall of a prosthesis in the larynx, which occurs rarely under general anesthesia. During the try-in procedure, the prosthesis slid from the surgeon's hand and entered the retromylohyoid space, and while searching for it, it passed down the larynx to the endotracheal tube balloon, leading to a dangerous situation. The prosthesis was promptly removed using video-assisted laryngoscope and forceps, and the patient was discharged without any complications.

Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) resulting from thoracic trauma is an exceedingly rare condition, typically caused by a fracture of the first rib or clavicle. In this report, the author presents a case of traumatic arterial TOS precipitated by multiple left rib fractures, notably excluding the first rib, following a fall from a 2-m high stepladder. The patient was treated successfully with first rib resection via a transaxillary approach, and the postoperative course was uneventful. The literature includes no known reports of traumatic arterial TOS in patients with multiple fractures that spare the first rib, making this the first documented case of its kind. In this instance, the patient sustained fractures to the fourth and fifth ribs. The TOS was likely not a direct result of the multiple rib fractures, which were located some distance from the thoracic outlet. Rather, it is hypothesized that the trauma from these fractures caused a soft tissue injury within the thoracic outlet, which ultimately led to the development of TOS.

본 연구의 목적은 2012년부터 2015년까지의 질병관리본부의 퇴원손상심층조사 자료를 바탕으로 병원에 입원한 치매환자 중 낙상과 관련된 특성과 낙상 영향 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 한국표준질병사인분류의 질병 코드를 사용하여 치매로 진단 받은 60세 이상 환자를 선정하여, 낙상(W00-W19) 유무에 따라 낙상군과 비낙상군으로 구분한 총 1,732건을 최종분석에 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 통계 프로그램 STATA를 이용하여 빈도분석, 교차분석(chi-square test)과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 전체 치매 입원환자 중 낙상은 8.0%에서 발생하였다. 낙상군과 비낙상군의 범주별 분석에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 연령에서 있었다. 질환 특성에서는 CCI(Charlson Comorbidity Index) 및 골밀도장애가 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 낙상에 영향을 미치는 요인의 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 60-69세 대상자를 기준으로 했을 때, 80세 이상의 노인은 낙상위험이 2.386배 높고, CCI가 0점인 대상자를 기준으로 했을 때, 3점 이상인 대상자의 낙상 위험이 0.421배로 낮으며, 골밀도장애가 없는 대상자를 기준으로 했을 때, 골밀도장애가 있는 대상자의 낙상위험이 3.581배 높았다. 본 연구의 결과 치매 입원환자는 연령이 80세 이상인 경우 약 2.3배, 골밀도장애가 있는 경우 약 3.5배 이상 낙상이 높을 수 있으며, 반면에 CCI가 3점인 경우 약 0.4배로 낙상이 낮을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 입원한 치매환자의 낙상 관련 영향 요인은 입원한 치매환자 및 돌봄자들에 대한 낙상 예방 교육에 도움이 되고 의료진의 치매환자 낙상 관리를 위한 의사결정에 기초자료로 사용되길 기대한다.

본 연구는 보건계열 학생을 대상으로 환자안전 지식과 환자안전 수행자신감을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 보건계열학생 349명이 참여하였고, 자료분석은 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 환자안전지식 정답률은 평균 65.7%였다. 환자안전 수행자신감은 평균 $7.11{\pm}1.74$점이었으며 문항별로 살펴보면 환자확인이 높았으며 효과적 의사소통이 낮게 나타났다. 환자안전지식과 환자안전 수행자신감의 하부영역인 환자확인, 의사소통, 수술시술, 낙상, 환자안전사고보고는 양의 상관관계였고, 환자안전지식과 감염관리, 시설환경은 음의 상관관계였다. 보건계열학생들에게 임상실습 전 환자안전에 대한 중요성을 높이고 안전한 임상실습이 수행될 수 있도록 환자안전교육프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.
