The addition of the adjuvant dexmedetomidine to a nerve block improves quality and reduces perioperative opioid consumption. aim this study was assess effect as an for thoracic paravertebral (TPVB) in postoperative pain control after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).Sixty-six males, aged 15⁻40 years, with spontaneous pneumothorax scheduled VATS wedge resection were enrolled. Following surgery, ultrasound-guided TPVB performed on T3 T5 levels 30 mL 0.5% ropivacaine, plus 50 μg or...
Though clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are an effective and widely used treatment method worldwide, they as yet not accepted in Korea. Given that cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of death Korea, it urgent CR programs be developed. In 2008, Government Korea implemented at 11 university hospitals part its Regional Cardio-Cerebrovascular Center Project, three additional medical facilities will added 2019. addition, owing to promotion...
Background: Bleeding remains the chief concern during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Recently, several studies proposed nafamostat mesilate (NM) as an alternative anticoagulant to heparin due reduced bleeding complications and comparable thromboembolic episodes. The aim of this study was evaluate clinical outcomes ECMO anticoagulated mainly with NM.
Unfractionated heparin is commonly used for anticoagulation in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Several studies have shown that nafamostat mesilate (NM) has comparable clinical outcomes to unfractionated heparin. This study compared with NM and a large-animal model.Beagle dogs (n=8; weight, 6.5-9 kg) were placed on venovenous ECMO. Blood samples taken every hour the following parameters compared: hemoglobin level, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thromboelastography...
This study aimed to review the long-term clinical outcomes and graft patency of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using arterial grafts in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) affecting artery. Twenty KD who underwent CABG from January 2002 June 2014 were enrolled. There 4 male (20%) 16 female (80%) ages at operation ranging 2 42 years (median, 17.5 years). Our routine operative strategy was off-pump grafts. The mean follow-up duration 59.5 ± 48.5 months (range, 1-159 months). Coronary...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become an important treatment modality in pediatric patients with cardiopulmonary failure, but few studies have been conducted Korea.We a retrospective review of younger than 18 years who were placed on ECMO between January 2004 and December 2014 at Samsung Medical Center.We identified 116 children support. The overall rate successful weaning was 51.7%, the survival to discharge 37.1%. There 39, 61, 16 for respiratory, cardiac, extracorporeal...

Herein, we report on a family with Carney complex. Four members of the underwent total 11 open heart operations as well 9 other to treat extrathoracic masses. All met at least 2 major clinical criteria and 1 supplemental criterion. We analyzed their genomic loci, including protein kinase A regulatory subunit gene. The results revealed no specific mutations, except for common single nucleotide polymorphism. This case series complex emphasizes importance close longitudinal follow-up because...
A 43-year-old man with a surgical history of atrial septal defect (ASD) patch closure and transannular right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction using Dacron ® 30 years ago visited our hospital due to dyspnea on exertion (NYHA class II), which started 4 months prior presentation.
We report two cases of severe mediastinitis accompanied by abscess due to endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), that were successfully treated effective surgical drainage. A 68-year-old woman was referred our hospital chest discomfort and high fever after EBUS-TBNA, a 54-year-old man general weakness, chills, the same procedure. Both diagnosed with EBUS-related discharged treatment. Similar previous reports, importance procedures for caused EBUS-TBNA...
