Purpose: Hypovolemic shock is the leading cause of death in multiple trauma patients with pelvic bone fracures. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple prediction method for injury severity and amount of hemorrhage via an analysis of the correlation between the site of pelvic bone fracture and the amount of transfusion and to verify the usefulness of the such a simple scoring system. Methods: We analyzed retrospectively the medical records and radiologic examination of 102 patients who had been diagnosed as having a pelvic bone fracture and who had visited the Emergency Department between January 2007 and December 2011. Fracture sites in the pelvis were confirmed and re-classified anatomically as pubis, ilium or sacrum. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed on the amount of transfusion, and a simplified scoring system was developed. The predictive value of the amount of transfusion for the scoring system as verified by using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC). The area under the curve of the ROC was compared with the injury severity score (ISS). Results: From among the 102 patients, 97 patients (M:F=68:29, mean $age=46.7{\pm}16.6years$) were enrolled for analysis. The average ISS of the patients was $16.2{\pm}7.9$, and the average amount of packed RBC transfusion for 24 hr was $3.9{\pm}4.6units$. The regression equation resulting from the multiple linear regression analysis was 'packed RBC units=1.40${\times}$(sacrum fracture)+1.72${\times}$(pubis fracture)+1.67${\times}$(ilium fracture)+0.36' and was found to be suitable (p=0.005). We simplified the regression equation to 'Pelvic Bleeding Score=sacrum+pubis+ilium.' Each fractured site was scored as 0(no fracture) point, 1(right or left) point, or 2(both) points. Sacrum had only 0 or 1 point. The score ranged from 0 to 5. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC was 0.718 (95% CI: 0.588-0.848, p=0.009). For an upper Pelvis Bleeding Score of 3 points, the sensitivity of the prediction for a massive transfusion was 71.4%, and the specificity was 69.9%. Conclusion: We developed a simplified scoring system for the anatomical fracture sites in the pelvis to predict the requirement for a transfusion (Pelvis Bleeding Score (PBS)). The PBS, compared with the ISS, is considered a useful predictor of the need for a transfusion during initial management.

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding (UGIB) is the most common GI emergency, and it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early identification of low-risk patients suitable for outpatient management has the potential to reduce unnecessary costs, and prompt triage of high-risk patients could allow appropriate intervention and minimize morbidity and mortality. Several risk-scoring systems have been developed to predict the outcomes of UGIB. As each scoring system measures different primary outcome variables, appropriate risk scores must be implemented in clinical practice. The Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS) should be used to predict the need for interventions such as blood transfusion or endoscopic or surgical treatment. Patients with GBS ${\leq}1$ have a low likelihood of adverse outcomes and can be considered for early discharge. The Rockall score was externally validated and is widely used for prediction of mortality. The recently developed AIMS65 score is easy to calculate and was proposed to predict in-hospital mortality. The Forrest classification is based on endoscopic findings and can be used to stratify patients into high- and low-risk categories in terms of rebleeding and thus is useful in predicting the need for endoscopic hemostasis. Early risk stratification is critical in the management of UGIB and may improve patient outcome and reduce unnecessary health care costs through standardization of care.

Accurate blood typing is the crucial factor for safe and successful blood transfusion and plays a very important role in organ transplantation and genetic information of forensic medicine. Microfluidic devices have been developed to overcome the limitations of the conventional blood typing methods. In this study, we demonstrate a Lamb wave-based device for simple blood typing in a sample droplet and we propose new indices for quantitative and accurate blood typing. Using Lamb wave-induced acoustic streaming in the droplet, the blood sample and the reagent can be mixed rapidly and red blood cells start to form clumps, which is agglutination. Based on the recorded image and video, the intensity of transmitted light through the sample droplet is evaluated to determine the blood type. Effect of the concentration of suspended red blood cells was evaluated and we found that 10% concentration of suspended red blood cells was suitable to observe the difference between aggregated and non-aggregated samples. Finally, sample with blood type A could be determined using anti-A reagent in our Lamb wave-based device. Our device enables simple and accurate blood typing, which can be applied to resource-limited environments.

Background and Objectives: Feasibility of coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via left snuffbox approach is still concerned. We aimed to investigate efficacy and safety of the left snuffbox approach for CAG and PCI. Methods: Left snuffbox approach was tried in 150 patients who planned to perform CAG or PCI for suspected myocardial ischemia between 1 November 2017 and 31 March 2018. Results: Success rate of radial artery (RA) cannulation via snuffbox approach was 88.0% (n=132). Among 132 individuals, 58 (43.9%) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients were included. The diameter of snuffbox RA was significantly smaller than conventional RA (2.57 mm vs. 2.72 mm, p<0.001) from quantitative computed angiography of 101 patients. However, CAG via snuffbox approach by 6 French sheath was successfully performed in all 132 patients. In addition, there was significant correlation between the snuffbox and conventional RA diameter (r=0.856, p<0.001). In 42 PCI cases, including 25 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the success rate of PCI via snuffbox approach was 97.6% (n=41). Intravascular imaging-guided PCI was performed in 8 (19.5%) patients and multi-vessel PCI in 4 (9.8%) cases. Regarding vascular complication, forearm swelling with bruising, not requiring surgery or transfusion, occurred in 2 (4.9%) PCI cases. Conclusions: Left snuffbox approach is suitable for CAG and PCI compared with the conventional radial approach.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate patient-reported satisfaction following robot-assisted hysterectomy due to benign uterine disease, and to identify the factors associated. Methods We used a questionnaire to evaluate patients' satisfaction with robot-assisted hysterectomy. The questions concerned overall patient-reported satisfaction and specific factors affecting satisfaction, including postoperative pain, return to daily life, the hospital experience, wounds, cost, the doctor-patient relationship, whether expectations were met, and whether detailed information was provided. We also collected data from patient records, such as uterine weight, rate of pelvic adhesion, operation time, rate of transfusion, delayed discharge, and readmission. One hundred patients who underwent robot-assisted hysterectomy participated in the study. Seventy-three fully completed questionnaires were returned. Results The majority of patients (95.9%) were satisfied with robot-assisted hysterectomy. The doctor-patient relationship, whether expectations were met, the hospital experience, wounds, and whether detailed information was provided were statistically significant factors influencing patients' overall satisfaction. Payment of fees and clinical and surgical outcomes did not significantly influence patients' overall satisfaction. Conclusion Our findings show that most patients reported high levels of satisfaction following robot-assisted hysterectomy, regardless of cost or clinical and surgical outcomes. Therefore, if gynecologists consider robot-assisted hysterectomy suitable for patients they need not hesitate based on potential costs; they should feel confident in recommending the procedure to patients.

관상동맥우회술은 인공심폐기 및 심근보호의 안정성으로 인공심폐기 사용하에 시행하는 것이 보편화된 방법이다. 그러나 좌전하행지 및 우관상동맥에 병소가 위치하는 경우는 인공심폐기의 사용 없이 심장이 박동하는 상태에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 방법도 일부에서는 시행되어 왔으며 최근에는 최소한의 절개하에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 방법도 대두되었다. 본 병원에서는 1996년 3월부터 8월까지 시행한 35례의 관상동맥우회술중 6례에서 인공심폐기를 사용하지 않고 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였다. 환자는 남자 4례와 여자 2례였으며 나이는 55세에서 76세로 평균 64세였다. 수술전 관상동맥의 병소는 6례 모두 좌전하행지에 90%이상의 협착을 보였으며 1례는 대각지가 50%, 또 다른 1례에서는 좌주관상동맥이 50%정도의 협착을 동시에 보였다. 수술에 필요한 개흉방법은 통상적인 정중흉골절개가 1례, 부분흉골절개술을 시행한 경우가 2례, 좌측전흉부를 개흉한 경우가 3례였다. 관상동맥우회술은 5례에서 좌측내흉동맥을 좌전하행지에 문합하였으며, 1례에서는 좌측내흉동맥에 요골동맥편을 단단문합한후 좌전하행지에 문합하였다. 또한 1례는 복재정맥을 이용하여 대각지에도 동시에 우회술을 시행하였다. 수술후 기관발관시간은 4시간에서 14시간으로 평균 9시간이었다. 수술에 사용한 혈액의 양은 평균 800 ml였으며 2례에서는 전혀 혈액을 사용하지 않았다. 이들중 5례에서 수술후 추적관상동맥조영술을 술후 7일에서 10일사이에 시행하여 100%의 개통율을 보였다. 결론적으로 좌전하행지나 우관상동맥에 협착이 있는 경우나 상기병소에 경피적풍선확장술이 실패한 경우에 인공심폐기를 사용하지 않고 최소한의 개흉하에 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 것도 하나의 방법이라 사료되며 앞으로 기술적 발전과 더불어 적응대상군이 증가할 것으로 판단된다.32, 88.67$\pm$10.22 mmHg로 감소하였고 폐동맥압의 평균은 수술전에 11.4$\pm$5.68 mmHg에서 25.94$\pm$11.53, 29.67$\pm$9.31 mmHg로 증가 하였으나 모두 통계적 의의는 없었다(p>0.05). 양측 폐이식수술에서인 폐동정맥문합부위의 파열, 협착, 뒤틀림 등의 수술수기상의 문제점을 예방하면서 우측폐를 먼저 이식하면서, 폐수술시야를 충분히 확보하고, 재관류손상을 방지하는 경우 cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertention, emphysema와 같은 심한 호흡부전증 환자의 치료방법으로 적합하리라 사료된다.에서 선택수술 (elective coronary artery bypass graft)에 비하여 특별한 위험 요소의 증가 관상 동맥 우회술을 적용하여 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며 이들에 대한 장기 추적이 릴요할 된다.착군에 비하여 의미있게 작았는데 이는 아마도수술 당시 협 착 부위의 완전제거가 이루어지지 않은 것이 원인이라고 사료되었다. 본 분석에서는 어린 연령(3개월 이하), 3개월이하에 시행한 쇄골하동맥편 교약성형술이 의미있는 재협착의 위험요소로 밝혀졌다. 결론 적으로 저자등은 본연구를 통하여 대동맥협부지수, 횡대동맥 지수 등이 개개 대동맥교약 환아의 해부학 적, 임상적 특징을 파악하는데 도움이 되는 도구라는 사실을 발견하였고 아울러 교약의 해부학적 특성, 동반 심기 형, 연령, 수술방법 등이 수술사망 및 재협착에 영향한다는 사실을 입증하였다.t was resulted from increase of weight of single cocoon.
