Lumbar radicular pain (LRP) is a common but challenging clinical symptom. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), neuromodulation technique that uses short pulses of current, effective in treating various disorders. However, few studies have been conducted on the effects PRF and its modifying parameters.Our study aimed to determine intraoperative parameters lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are related patients with LRP unresponsive transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI).Prospective...
Phrenic nerve paralysis is an unusual complication associated with central venous catheterization. Various mechanisms have been proposed. We present a case of transient right hemidiaphragmatic after subclavian hypothesize that anatomical variation the phrenic was responsible for this complication. Keywords: Central catheterization; nerve.
Objectives Although the medical field has made significant progress, there been little improvement in survival rate of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs). We implemented a protocol consisting five strategies management rAAA who underwent open repair surgery. Methods The comprised following strategies: intentional hypotension <70 mmHg, lung first and kidney last policy (restricted fluid resuscitation permissive oligoanuria), immediate postoperative extubation,...
It is allegedly known that the thermal stability of Mint Lift® (the 17 and Fine; HansBiomed Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) over time might be lower as compared with thread-lifts processed through ultrasonic molding technology, such MEDI ROPE (WSM 19-03; CNG Gyeonggi, Korea), because undergoes a treatment during manufacturing process. We conducted this accelerated aging test to compare between ROPE. Thus, we measured degrees strength ROPE, 17, Fine at 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, weeks....
Background and objectives: We examined whether there is a significant correlation between inflammatory markers the wound healing rate (WHR) in diabetic patients. Materials Methods: A total of 60 patients were divided into two groups depending on completion (WH) at 5 weeks: early WH group (period < weeks; n = 27) late > 33). The baseline characteristics measurements compared groups. To identify (e.g., white blood cell counts (WBCs), serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels erythrocyte...
Purpose: The purpose of our study was to identify the CT findings that help detect pleural dissemination from lung cancer and evaluate usefulness selected diagnostic criteria. Materials Methods: After a computerized database search 606 patients who had undergone thoracotomy for primary cancer, 23 were identified as h aving surgically documented dissemination. From same database, 50 pa-tients without during randomly controls. Preoperative scans medical records rev i ewed retrospectively,...
S 91Recruitment maneuvers have been increasingly used to reverse the alveolar derecruitment associated with low tidal volume ventilation in patients acute lung injury and respiratory distress syndrome.We report a case of improved oxygenation without hypotension or rupture, due an early application recruitment (40 cmH2O continuous positive airway pressure for 40 s, three times [at 4.5 h, 5 7 h], guided by pulse oximetry) followed mechanical controlled 20 end-expiratory after femoral...
Thoracic empyema can result from the pleural accumulation of infected fluid or infection accumulated fluid.The causes are pneumonia, surgery lung, mediastinum, diaphragm, trauma, and so on.The impact anesthetic technique (regional versus general combination both) on respiratory complication rate has not been established.A 86-yr-old male patient, who had COPD about 15 years chronic for several months, scheduled to operation a femur neck fracture.We report case that this patient with operated...
Central venous cannulation (CVC) is a procedure that frequently performed to facilitate resuscitation, nutritional support and long-term vascular access. It may often cause mechanical complications during placement of cannula in association with the anatomical relationship central veins. A 68-year-old man visited our medical institution chief complaint foreign-body-induced esophageal perforation. This patient presented bleeding superior vena cava due an iatrogenic injury it CVC right...
Celiac artery compression is a rare condition in which the celiac compressed by median arcuate ligament. Case reports of after trauma are hard to find. Blunt traumatic pericardium rupture also condition. We report single patient who experienced both conditions from blunt injury. An 18-year-old woman was brought center fatal motorcycle accident, she passenger. The driver found dead. Her vital signs were stable, but complained mild abdominal pain, chest wall and severe back pain. There no...
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection in patients with mechanical ventilation. In 2013, new concept of ventilator- associated events (VAEs) replaced traditional ventilator-associated pneumonia. We analyzed risk factors for VAE occurrence and in-hospital mortality trauma who received ventilatory support.
