{"title":"Prospective audit of requisitions for transfusion at a rural tertiary care hospital in central India as a step to improve transfusion practices","authors":"VitaladevuniBalasubramanyam Shivkumar, VihankaDevchand Vaidya, AbhayVilas Deshmukh, ManishArun Meshram","doi":"10.4103/jmms.jmms_16_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jmms.jmms_16_23","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: A blood requisition form is the sign of final clinical decision for the transfusion. It provides all the clinical details of the patient. The missing and incorrect information in blood request form can be the cause of error and transfusion reactions. This study was aimed to evaluate blood transfusion request form for its correctness and completeness. Based on its findings and results, the clinicians will be asked to take corrective measures. Methods: The blood requisition forms were evaluated in the blood centre at central India during the period of October 2019 to June 2021 and were analysed. Results: 15022 blood requisition forms were received for 19904 units of blood and blood products during the study period. Majority of the requisitions were for single unit. 10.75% forms were without demographic details, 14.58% were without priority, 18.91% were without mentioning of blood group, 32.69% were without mentioning of indication, 24.23% forms were without history of previous transfusion and 23.47% forms were without proper clinical history. Conclusion: The requests for whole blood was much more than packed red cells. More than 60% forms were not properly filled and without proper clinical information. The indication for transfusion of blood and blood components were not mentioned in 33% of the forms. The forms in which indications were mentioned, more than 30% had inappropriate indications. Thus, it is important to sensitize the clinicians about the importance of correctness and completeness of blood transfusion request forms to ultimately improve the clinical practices.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202933","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}

It is caused by repetitive friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral epicondyle during active flexion and extension of the knee. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee was performed for 45 long distance runners who presented with lateral knee pain after long distance running for 6 months. The analysis of the images was done by two radiologists in all the three planes to confirm or rule out any findings suggestive of ITBFS. The various imaging features which were noted in the MRI scans by the radiologists to label it as ITBFS were poorly defined abnormal signal intensity deep to the iliotibial band as the primary finding and other associated MRI findings such as fluid collection medial to the iliotibial band, increased thickness of the iliotibial band and joint effusion. Results: Out of these 45 runners 30 patients had ITBFS, 3 had lateral collateral ligament sprain, 3 had a grade III tear of the lateral meniscus, 3 had synovial effusion and six had normal scans. Discussion: Iliotibial band friction syndrome occurs because of overuse and can be confused with other disorders and MRI is able to differentiate it from other conditions.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"69 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48149930","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}

Methods: Ninety consenting patients were assigned to two groups: LM and US groups. Patients with known coagulation abnormalities, body mass index > 30, infection at the insertion site, known vascular abnormalities, burn contractures, and other dermatologic conditions that precluded an LM technique were excluded. Central venous catheterizations during the code blue scenarios were excluded due to the emergent nature of the procedure. Three operators from the author group with requisite experience in LM and US techniques performed the 90 catheterizations. In LM group, a finder needle with a 2 ml syringe was used to aspirate venous blood from the IJV. A 16G needle was guided in the same direction as the finder needle till venous blood was aspirated, followed by guidewire insertion and cannulation. In the US group, a 6–12 MHz linear US probe was used to identify the IJV in real time and a 16G needle was used to access the IJV under US guidance in the cross-sectional view. Results: The overall success rate was 84.4% in LM group and 100% in US group (P = 0.0059). The first attempt success rate was similar in both groups (71.1% and 86.6%, P = 0.07). The overall complication rates in LM group were 20%, whereas complications in the US group were 2.2% (P = 0.0073). Notably, vascular complications occurred less frequently in US group with fewer arterial punctures and hematomas. Hemothorax and pneumothorax did not occur in any group. The mean cannulation time decreased by 69 s, i.e., from 276 s in the LM group to 207 s in the US group (P < 0.001). Conclusion: US-guided central venous catheter insertion to IJV improves the overall success rate and reduces cannulation time as compared to conventional LM-based technique.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"31 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47237552","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}

Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study, at one of the assisted reproductive technique centers in central India. Data were collected from the institutional record system which was established as per the standard protocols. Data on a total of 225 patients who had an endometrial thickness >7 mm without any adjunct and underwent fresh embryo transfer in their first in vitro fertilization cycle during the past 2 years were collected and were categorized into three groups: Group A who had received intrauterine infusion of G-CSF (n = 75), Group B who received intrauterine infusion of PRP (n = 75), and Group C who (control group) received no intervention (n = 75). Results: The implantation rate was significantly higher in Group A (37.24%) than in Groups B and C (21.91% and 21.37%, respectively). No significant difference was found in the clinical pregnancy rate among Groups A, B, and C (50.68%, 40.54%, and 37.84%, respectively). Endometrial thickness increased significantly in Group A by approximately 2.3 mm. No significant change in other endometrial parameters in the three groups. The number of biochemical pregnancies was higher in the G-CSF group compared to the other two groups. Conclusion: Intrauterine infusion of G-CSF in women receiving fresh embryo transfer with normal endometrial thickness can increase endometrial thickness and the implantation rate without affecting other endometrial parameters and the cumulative pregnancy rate.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"81 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41587628","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}

This is an avoidable clinical condition causing significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical presentation is variable and often a diagnostic enigma. The consequences of gossypiboma are undesirable, disappointing, and have medicolegal implications for the surgical team. We report three cases of gossypiboma with varying clinical spectrums. The first case had gastric outlet obstruction due to retained surgical sponge after open cholecystectomy. It had eroded both into the first part of the duodenum and transverse colon. Endoscopic and radiological evaluation helped to establish the diagnosis of duodenocolic fistula with gastric outlet obstruction. The second patient was treated for penetrating abdominal wound and presented with persistent fever with discharging sinus at the wound site. The third patient had undergone exploratory laparotomy for recurrent hydatid cyst of the liver and, in addition to recurrent hydatid cyst, a surgical sponge was also found. All these patients had retained surgical sponges but different clinical presentations. These patients underwent exploratory laparotomy and surgical removal of the retained surgical item (RSI) followed by a successful recovery. Gossypiboma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in all unexplained postoperative sepsis, intestinal obstruction, and intra-abdominal mass.

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study in a tertiary care hospital. Results: Twenty-two children out of 127 patients evaluated had primary EBV infection among children presenting with acute cervical lymphadenopathy. The most common symptoms noted were fever (95.5%), loss of appetite (63%), and sore throat (45.5%). Posterior and anterior cervical lymph nodes (99.5% and 86.4%) were most commonly affected with a frequency of 2–6 nodes (mean of 3 nodes) and an average size of 2.4 cm (range: 2–6 cm). Maculopapular, nonpruritic rash was noted in 27.3% and Hoagland sign in 9.1% of cases. Hepatomegaly and clinical splenomegaly were noted in 81% and 59%, respectively, among EBV-positive patients. Conclusion: EBV primary infection is a common cause of acute cervical lymphadenopathy among Indian children with EBV responsible for approximately 17% of such clinical presentation. A high index of clinical suspicion and timely diagnosis of EBV in these children will be useful in limiting investigations and avoidable use of antibiotics by clinicians in such presentation.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202954","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}

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the gynecology department in a university-affiliated hospital. All women with a diagnosis of intrauterine RPOC by TVS showing a heterogeneous intrauterine sac of more than 15 mm thickness, without endometritis, treated with S and E for RPOC, who also underwent subsequent hysteroscopy and TVS ,were enrolled in the study. Results: Since no literature is available comparing these two modalities directly, 50 cases as a pilot study were studied. TVS findings of RPOC with endometrial thickness >15 mm and hyperechoic area or area of mixed echogenicity along with hysteroscopy findings of RPOC were tabulated and correlated. The strength of agreement between TVS and hysteroscopy was determined. In our study, 28% of the participants who had S and E done for first-trimester abortion had RPOC on TVS. The sensitivity and specificity of RPOC on TVS were 69.2% and 86.5%, respectively, with a positive predictive value of 64.3%. Twenty-six percent of the participants had RPOC on hysteroscopy who later underwent re-evacuation procedure using operative hysteroscopy. Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is the gold standard for removal of RPOC. A combination of TVS and hysteroscopy for detection of RPOC would lower rates of complications and postoperative intrauterine adhesions.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202357","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}
