The evaluation of the effectivess of ongoing cardiopulmonary resucitation efforts is dependent on the commonly used methods, such as the presence of femoral or carotid artery pulsations, arterial blood gas determinations, peripheral arterial pressure and intracardiac pressure monitoring. But recent studies suggest that end-tidal carbon dioxide tension serves as a non-invasive measurement of pulmonary blood flow and therefore cardiac output under constant ventilation. A prospective clinical study was done to determine whether end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring in open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass could be used as a prognostic indicator of bypass weaning. We monitored end-tidal PCO2 values continuously during cardiopulmonary bypass in 30 patients. "Ohmeda 5210 CO-2 monitor" under infrared absorption method were incorperated into the ventilator circuit by means of a side point adaptor between endotracheal tube and ventilator tubing. 18 patients[Group I ] were res-ucitated from partial bypass followed by aorta cross clamp off and 12 patients[Group II ] from aorta cross clamp off followed by partial bypass. But there was no difference between two groups[p>0.05]. The value of end-tidal carbon dioxide tension during ventricular fibrillation or nearly arrest state was 6.6$\pm$2.9 mmHg, and at the time of spontaneous beating was 19.3$\pm$5.6 mmHg[Mean$\pm$Standard deviation], In conclusion end-tidal carbon dioxide tension monitoring provides clinically useful, continous, noninvasive and supplementary prognostic indicator during cardiopulmonary bypass weaning procedures.rocedures.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods by comparing the fatigue of rescuers according to various positions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation situations conducted on beds in hospitals. Methods: An experimental study of students in the department of emergency medical service in H University, G Metropolitan City was conducted in four positions for applying chest pressure on mannequins on beds. Results: As a result of measuring the muscle fatigue of four muscle attachments according to the four positions conducted on the bed, the average was 3.4%, the P was significant at 0.001, and the fatigue difference was confirmed to occur depending on the attachment. An analysis of pressure depth by pose revealed that P1, P2, P3, and P4 have a depth of 58.3, 55.1, 56.4, and 56.3 mm, respectively, with P4 having the deepest depth. Conclusion: Among the various postures of the rescuer during cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed on the bed in the hospital, P1 is thought to be the most tiring, although its associated CPR quality is good.

Although the conventional methods of cardiopulmonary bypass for open heart surgery have been employed, it has been usual method to repair of congenital heart disease in infancy using deep hypother-mia and circulatory arrest technique. In 1980, we reported total correction of congenital heart disease using surface induced hypothermia-total circulatory arrest and rewarming with limited cardiopulmonary bypass. in 1981, three patients below 10 kilogram, who had ASD and PDA, and two of VSD with pulmonary hypertension were operated on using simple deep hypothermia without cardiopulmonary bypass. During surface cooling, there were no ventricular fibrillation and arrhythmia. There were no difficulties to resuscitate the heart. Postoperative respiratory and neurologic complication were not occurred. Follow up examination for two to three years gave no evidence of cerebral damage due to circulatory arrest.

Background: Various functional factors should be incorporated during assessment and intervention for patient rehabilitation. Stable respiratory function is one of required factors for functional restoration. To maximize respiratory physical therapy intervention outcome, it is required to understand clinical features of respiratory diseases and physical therapy approaches. Methods: Previous studies were systematically reviewed through computerized search. Methodological qualities of selected studies were evaluated and the levels of recommendations were determined. Results: Assessment for respiratory pattern and thoracic mobility is of importance to improve cardiopulmonary fitness during physical reconditioning. Application of optimal therapeutic protocol can increase thoracic mobility and respiratory function. Interdisciplinary communication is critical during rehabilitation for respiratory patients. Health care provider should have professional knowledge and experience for cardiopulmonary fitness and obligation to endeavor for patients' respiratory rehabilitation. It is necessary to standardize therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitative respiratory exercise should be applied to confirm the effects of intervention. Conclusion: Respiratory diseases that may reduce patients' quality of life and cardiopulmonary fitness should be resolved through physical therapy approaches. Through conducting research, effect of evidence-based and patients' function-oriented intervention can be determined.

In this paper, the researcher investigated whether strengthening the back muscles affects the quality of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation by university students. A total of 50 students majoring in healthcare were included from September 2018 to November. The participants performed chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 2 min after back muscle strength was measured. Then, after adequate rest, the participants repeated the back muscle strength measurements and chest compressions after taping the erector spinae muscle. The paired t-test was performed to analyze changes in chest compression quality after taping. As results, taping enhanced back muscle strength and positively affected the depth of chest compressions and the compression to recoil ratio. Taping also increased confidence and lowered fatigability during chest compressions, so the participants preferred being taped while performing chest compressions. Based on these results, taping could help emergency room medical personnel specialized in CPR to enhance the quality of CPR and relieve back pain and fatigability by strengthening the back muscles.

Backgound: This study was performed to evaluate the incidences, the risk factors, and the clinical course of the hyperamylasemia in patients who underwent open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. Material and Method: Thirty seven patients who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass were studied at Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Yeungnam University Hospital, from July 1997 to June 1998. The thirty seven patients were divided into two groups, 13 patients in group I had normal serum amylase levels and 24 patients in group II had hyperamylasemia. Result: Mean serum amylase(IU/l) levels and 24 patients in group II had hyperamylasemia. Result: Mean serum amylase(IU/l) levels of gorup II showed 54.3$\pm$4.6, 78.0$\pm$9.2, 372.0$\pm$103.4, 460.5$\pm$80.4, 280.4$\pm$46.6, and 131.0$\pm$15.6, preoperative, immediate postoperative, at postoperative 1, 2, 3, and 7 days, respectively. In group II, serum amylase level of the postoperative day 2 was the highest and was significantly higher than that of the preoperative day(p<0.001). Serum amylase level started to decreased at postoperative day 3 and returned to the normal level at postoperative day 7. Significant clinical symtoms of overt pancreatitis were not shown in patients in group II. The following perioperative variable such as diagnosis, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamping time, mean systemic pressure during bypass, and administration of steroid were compared between groups. There were no significant differences between groups. In all patients, Serum amylase level of postoperative day 2 and aortic cross clamping time were correlated significantly(p=0.047). Conclusion: Serum amylase level after cardiopulmonary bypass could be elevated postoperatively and serum amylase level of POD 2 was considered to have significant correlation with aortic cross clamping time. Shortening of aortic cross clamping time will help in reducing the hyperamylsemia. In this study, although significant clinical symptoms and overt pancreatitis were not seen from hyperamylsemic patients, careful clinical observation of hyperamylasemia would be necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, patterns, and factors of reversals in decisions about life-sustaining treatment (LST) among older patients with terminal-stage chronic cardiopulmonary disease. Methods: This was a retrospective correlational descriptive study based on medical chart review. De-identified patient electronic medical record data were collected from 124 deceased older patients with terminal-stage cardiopulmonary disease who had made reversals of LST decisions in an academic tertiary hospital in 2015. Data were extracted about the reversed LST decisions, LST treatments applied before death, and patients' demographic and clinical factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with the reversal to higher intensity of LST treatment. Results: The use of inotropic agents was the most frequently reversed LST treatment, followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation, ventilator therapy, and hemodialysis. Inconsistency between the last LST decisions and actual treatments occurred most often in hemodialysis. One-third of the reversals in LST decisions were made toward higher intensity of LST treatment. Patients who had lung diseases (vs. heart diseases); were single, divorced, or bereaved (vs. married); and had an acquaintance as a primary decision maker (vs. the patients themselves) were significantly more likely to reverse the LST decisions to higher intensity of LST treatment. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the complex and turmoil situation of the LST decision-making process among older patients with terminal-stage cardiopulmonary disease and suggests the importance of support for patients and families in their LST decision-making process.

배경: 기존에 사용되고 있는 인공심폐기는 비박동성 펌프로 회로 내부에 형성되는 압력이 낮고 혈구 손상이 적어서 표준 인공 심폐기로 선호되고 있다. 그러나 많은 실험적 연구들을 보면 박동성 관류가 혈역학, 대사, 장기의 기능, 미세 순환에 대하여 비박동성 관류보다 유익함을 알 수 있다. 그러나 박동성 인공심폐기는 높은 회로 내부 압력과 혈구손상이 해결되어야 할 문제점으로 개발이 어려웠다. 이 연구의 목적은 국내에서 제작된 이중 박동성 인공심폐기의 안전성 및 유효성을 알아보는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 6마리의 송아지를 대상으로 이중 박동성 인공 심폐기 실험을 하였으며, 완전체외순환을 시켰다. 체외순환은 상,하 대정맥과 대동맥 사이를 우회하였으며, 막형 산화기를 사용하여 혈액을 산화시켰다. 산화기는 좌우측 펌프 중간에 위치시켰다. 순환 시간은 4시간이었다. 동맥혈가스분석, 혈액검사, 혈장 유리 혈색소를 측정하였으며, 맥압과 회로 내부압력을 관찰하였다. 측정은 인공 심폐기 구동 전과 순환 1, 2, 3, 4시간째에 측정하였다. 결과: 동맥혈 가스분석상 pH, 이산화 탄소분압은 모두 정상 범위였으며, 동맥혈 산소 분압은 100 mmHg 이상의 충분한 산화를 보였다. 혈장 유리혈색소는 완전 체외순환하여 4시간이 경과하면서 15.87 $\pm$5.63 mg/㎗로 점차 증가소견을 보였으나 20 mg/㎗ 이내였다. 혈액검사소견상 뚜렷한 이상소견은 없었다. 순환전 수축기 혈압은 97.5$\pm$5.7 mmHg이었으며 시간 경과하여도 100 mmHg 이상의 혈압을 유지하였다. 확장기 혈압은 72.2$\pm$7.7 mmHg이었으며 시간 경과하여도 잘 유지되었다. 평균 혈압은 순환 전 83$\pm$9.2 mmHg이었으며, 시간 경과 시 증가된 소견을 보였다. 펌프의 유량은 3.3 L/min이상을 유지할 수 있었다. 완전체외순환 동안의 혈압의 변화를 보면 순환 전 심장과 유사한 동맥혈압을 보였다. 결론: 이중 박동 구조를 이용한 박동성 인공심폐기는 효과적인 박동성 혈류를 제공하면서 혈구 세포손상도 적었으며, 혈액학적 및 혈역학적인 면에서도 우수한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 모든 심장수술의 인공심폐기로 사용되어질 경우 말초장기에 생리적이고 안정적인 혈류를 공급할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
