Vascular injuries during total hip arthroplasty (THA) are rare, but they could be life threatening when they occurs. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate management should be required to reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality of the patient. In case of external iliac vein (EIV) injury, it could be more difficult to be noticed because of its slow onset, which could result in cata strophic, delayed hemorrhagic shock. Although EIV injury during THA is uncommon and has not been emphasized enough in anesthetic field, subsequence could be fatal. Herein, we report a case of EIV injury occurred by a drill tip passing through the acetabulum during THA. The patient showed an abrupt hemodynamic collapse without visual evidence of massive bleeding. Cardio pulmonary resuscitation was even required before detection and repair of EIV.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123454935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most CRT is resolved with thrombolytic therapy without additional complications such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or post-thrombotic syndrome. Unusually, we experienced asymptomatic CRT occurred in a patient undergoing anticoagulation therapy. Central venous catheter was inserted into the right subclavian vein and the patient received heparin therapy for treatment of myocardial infarction for 16 days before surgery. Thrombus was detected during ultrasonographic examination when placing additional central venous catheter with a SwanGanz catheter after induction of general anesthesia. The catheter with a thrombus was removed 5 hours after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Heparin therapy was started 24 hours after surgery and continued for three days owing to CRT. The patient received anticoagulation therapy including warfarin and aspirin consistently. He was discharged at 15 days after surgery.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133613299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We selected 182 patients who could be observed for at least 1 year from among 352 patients who received surgical treatment for osteoporotic isolated femur intertrochanteric fractures between January 2013 and December 2016. The PFNA II was applied in 110 cases, and the ZNN in 72 cases. We evaluated operation time, bleeding amount, quality of reduction, tip apex distance, bone union time, sliding distance, and lag screw position. The mean operation times and bleeding volumes were respectively 38 minutes and 224 mL for PFNA II, and 42 minutes and 234 mL for ZNN. The quality of reduction was good, acceptable, and poor in 71%, 25%, and 4% for PFNA II, and 68%, 31%, and 1% for ZNN, respectively. The mean tip apex distances, bone union times, and sliding distances were respectively 21.1 and 20.7 mm, 12.4 and 12.9 weeks, and 4.2 and 3.9 mm. The lag screw position was acceptable and poor in 95% and 5% for PFNA II, and 97% and 3% for ZNN, respectively. The design of the lag screw did not influence the surgical outcome in the osteoporotic isolated femur intertrochanteric fractures. Therefore, choice of the proximal femoral nail can safely be made according to surgeon preference.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121911128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we investigated the effect of two different anesthetic techniques on intraoperative hormonal stress responses and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with chronic renal disease undergoing arteriovenous fistula formation. Eighteen patients aged above 20 years were randomly divided into two groups: group A (n=8) with axillary brachial plexus block and group MAC (n=10) with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) using dexmedetomidine. The levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, glucose, IL-6, and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were recorded at pre-anesthesia (T0) and end of surgery (T3). No significant differences in epinephrine and HSP70 were observed between these two groups or within each group. Norepinephrine was significantly decreased in group MAC compared with group A at T3 (p=0.001), but no significant differences were found within each group. The cortisol level in group MAC significantly decreased at T3 compared with T0 (p=0.028). The glucose level in group MAC significantly increased at T3 compared with T0 (p=0.019). No significant differences in IL-6 levels were observed within each group. In conclusion, in this study, neither monitored anesthesia nor regional anesthesia influenced stress hormones and proinflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula formation, but significant changes in cortisol and glucose levels were observed in the group receiving dexmedetomidine.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115164462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
