스텐트 혈전증은 경피적 관상동맥 중재술의 드문 합병증으로 치명적인 결과를 일으킬 수 있다. 저자들은 스텐트 혈전에 의한 심인성 쇼크와 심실성 빈맥이 동반된 급성 심근경색 환자 1예를 경피적 심폐 순환 보조 요법으로 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

경피적 관상동맥 중재술 시 골절된 가이드 와이어의 외과적 제거

이준완,김상필 대한흉부외과학회 2006 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.39 No.8

경피적 관상동맥 중재술 시 사용되는 가이드 와이어의 골절은 드문 합병증이다. 골절로 인하여 관상동맥내에 위치하는 가이드 와이어는 혈관 내막 손상과 혈소판의 응집을 촉발하여 혈전 생성을 야기할 수 있다. 좌전하행지에 위치하여 안정 시 흉통을 유발한 가이드 와이어를 성공적으로 제거하고 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

배경: 동맥편만을 이용한 관상동맥 우회술을 위한 한 방법으로 양측성 내흉동맥을 이용한 관상동맥 우회술의 유용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2001년 12월까지 서울아산병원 흉부외과에서 심폐바이패스를 사용하지 않는 관상동맥 우회술을 시행받은 139명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록을 이용한 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 전체환자를 양측성 내흉동맥을 사용한 환자군을 양측 내흉동맥군(bilateral internal thoracic artery; BITA group, n=85), 단일 내흉동맥을 사용한 환자군을 단일 내흉동맥군(single internal thoracic artery; SITA group, n=54)으로 나누었고 수술결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 수술에 따른 사망은 양 군에서 각각 1예씩 발생하였다. 중환자실 재원일 및 퇴원기간은 양 군 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다(BITA군: 2.4±1.7일, 11.2±17.7일, SITA군: 2.8±2.7일, 9.7±7.1일, p>0.05). 문합혈관수는 BITA군이 3.9±0.7개, SITA군이 3.1±0.8개로 BITA군이 더 많았다. 술 후 심근경색은 7예(BITA군 2예, SITA군 5예)에서 발생하였고 심부 흉골감염이 4예(BITA군 3예, SITA군 1예) 발생하여 재수술이 시행되었다. 수술 직후 104명의 환자에서(BITA군 64/85, SITA군 40/54명) 관상동맥 조영술이 시행되었고 좌전하행지로의 문합부위 협착이 4예(BITA군: 2예, SITA군: 2예)에서 관찰되었다. 전체 관찰기간 동안의 문합부위 협착 발생은 총 8예였고 이 중 3명의 환자에서 경피적 관상동맥 성형술이 시행되었으며 관상동맥 우회술을 재시행한 경우는 없었다. 결론: 관상동맥 우회술 시행 시 양측 내흉동맥의 사용은 수술 전후 이환율에서 큰 차이 없이 만족할 만한 개통률을 얻으면서 동맥편만을 이용한 관상동맥 우회술을 가능케 하는 유용한 대안이 될 수 있으리라 생각한다.

Major Obstacles to Implement a Full-Time Intensivist in Korean Adult ICUs: a Questionnaire Survey

이준완,문재영,윤석화,Yong Sup Shin,Sang-Il Park,Dong-Chan Kim,고윤석 대한중환자의학회 2016 Acute and Critical Care Vol.31 No.2

Background: Critical care physician staffing is a crucial element of the intensive care unit (ICU) organization, and is associated with better outcomes in ICUs. Adult ICUs in Korea have been suffering from inadequate full-time intensivists and nurses because of insufficient reimbursement rates (<50% of the original critical care cost) from the National Health Insurance System. Recently, full-time intensivists have been introduced as a prerequisite for adult ICUs of tertiary hospitals in Korea. The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of intensivist staffing among critical care program directors regarding the barriers and solutions when implementing an intensivist model of critical care in Korea. Methods: An email survey of critical care program directors in designated teaching hospitals for critical care subspecialty training by the Korean Society of Critical Care Medicine was performed. The survey domains included vision, culture, resources, barriers, and potential solutions to implementing intensivist physician staffing (IPS). Results: Forty-two critical care program directors were surveyed. A total of 28 directors (66.7%) responded to email queries. Of these, 27 directors (96.4%) agreed that IPS would improve the quality of care in the ICU, although half of them reported a negative perception of relevant clinical colleagues for the role of full-time intensivists and poor resources for IPS in their hospitals. Increased financial burden due to hiring full-time intensivists and concerns regarding exclusion from the management of their critically ill patients in the ICU, together with loss of income for primary attending physicians were stated by the respondents to be major barriers to implementing IPS. Financial incentives for the required cost from the health insurance system and enhancement of medical law relevant to critical care were regarded as solutions to these issues. Conclusions: Critical care program directors believe that intensivist-led critical care can improve the outcome of ICUs. They indicated the financial burden due to IPS and underestimation of a full-time intensivist’s role to be major barriers. The program directors agreed that a partnership between hospital leaders and the Ministry of Health and Welfare was needed to overcome these barriers.

Phrenic Arterial Injury Presenting as Delayed Hemothorax Complicating Simple Rib Fracture

안홍준,이준완,김건동,유인술 대한의학회 2016 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.31 No.4

Delayed hemothorax after blunt torso injury is rare, but might be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of delayed hemothorax bleeding from phrenic artery injury in a 24-year-old woman. The patient suffered from multiple rib fractures on the right side, a right hemopneumothorax, thoracic vertebral injury and a pelvic bone fracture after a fall from a fourth floor window. Delayed hemothorax associated with phrenic artery bleeding, caused by a stab injury from a fractured rib segment, was treated successfully by a minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery. Here, we have shown that fracture of a lower rib or ribs might be accompanied by delayed massive hemothorax that can be rapidly identified and promptly managed by thoracoscopic means.

Feasibility and Early Outcomes of Intensivist-Led Critical Care after Major Trauma in the Korean ICU

김길동,이준완,박형근 연세대학교의과대학 2013 Yonsei medical journal Vol.54 No.2

Purpose: Substantial evidence supports the benefits of an intensivist model of critical care delivery. However, currently, this mode of critical care delivery has not been widely adopted in Korea. We hypothesized that intensivist-led critical care is feasible and would improve ICU mortality after major trauma. Materials and Methods: A trauma registry from May 2009 to April 2011 was reviewed retrospectively. We evaluated the relationship between modes of ICU care (open vs. intensivist) and in-hospital mortality following severe injury [Injury Severity Score (ISS) >15]. An intensivist-model was defined as ICU care delivered by a board-certified physician who had no other clinical responsibilities outside the ICU and who is primarily available to the critically ill or injured patients. ISS and Revised Trauma Score were used as measure of injury severity. The Trauma and Injury Severity Score methodology was used to calculate each individual patient’s probability of survival. Results: Of the 251 patients, 57 patients were treated by an intensivist [intensivist group (IG)] while 194 patients were not [non-intensivist group (NIG)]. The ISS of IG was significantly higher than that for NIG (26.5 vs. 22.3, p=0.023). The hospital mortality rate for IG was significantly lower than that for NIG (15.8% and 27.8%, p<0.001). Conclusion: The intensivist model of critical care is feasible, and there is room for improvement in the care of major trauma patients. Although trauma systems take time to mature, future studies are needed to evaluate the best model of critical care delivery for severely injured patients in Korea.

흉강경하 횡경막 주름성형술: 작업창없이 3개의 포트를 이용한 수술법

김도형,김길동,황정주,최진호,이준완 대한흉부외과학회 2010 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.43 No.5

배경: 횡경막 내장전위증의 치료를 위해 흉강경을 이용한 횡격막 주를 성형술은 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나, 기존 흉강경을 이용한 횡경막 주름 성형술은 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 저자들은 Head up position, CO2 삽입 및 Figure of eight 봉합법을 이용하여 수술 술기를 단순화하여 기존 흉강경의 단점을 개선하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년 3월부터 2009년 9월까지 횡경막 내장전위증으로 수술을 받은 9명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 평균 연령은 38.5±53.0세(범위, 2∼76세)였으며 남자 4명, 여자 5명이었다. 결과: 평균 수술 시간은 46.7±15.9분(범위, 30∼85분)이었다. 수술 중 사망은 없었다. 합병증으로는 7일 이상의 지속적 공기 누출 1예, 폐부종(Re-expansion pulmonary edema)으로 3일간 호흡기 사용 1예가 있었다. 평균 재원일 수는 6.22±2.04일(범위, 4∼11일)이었다. 수술 후 추적 관찰 기간(평균 27.2±11.6개월, 범위 2∼43개월) 동안 1예에서만 수술 직후 횡경막 위치에 비해 2.5 cm 이상 상승을 보였다. 호흡 곤란 증상을 보이는 환자는 없었다. 결론: 저자들의 변형 술식에 의해 횡격막 내장전위증 환자에서 단지 수술창의 사용없이 3개의 5 mm 포트를 이용하여 횡격막 주름 성형술이 가능하였다. 횡경막 내장 전위증 환자에서 흉강경을 이용한 방법이 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 개흉을 이용한 방법보다 유용한 수술 방법으로 생각된다. Background: Diaphragmatic plication through a thoracoscopic approach has been an effective modality to treat diaphragmatic enventration. However, the conventional technique for thoracoscopic plication has some disadvantages. We have developed an improved and simplified technique with utilizing the head up position, CO2 insufflation and figure-of-eight sutures. Material and Method: Between October 2005 and September 2009, 9 patients with diaphragmatic paralysis underwent repair using our modified technique. The mean patient age was 38.5±53.0 years (range: 2∼76 years). Result: The mean operation time was 46.7±15.9 min (range: 30∼85 min). None of the patients died due to this procedure, but there was one case of prolonged air leakage, and a case of re-expansion pulmonary edema, which required 3 days of ventilator support after the procedure. The mean hospital stay was 6.22±2.04 days (range: 4∼11 days). The mean follow-up duration was 27.2±11.6 months (range: 2∼43 months). All the patients had their symptoms relieved and there was no recurrence of eventration except for one patient who developed more than 2 cm elevation of the diaphragm compared to the immediate post-operation status. Conclusion: With our technique, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication was feasible via using only three 5 mm ports and without a working window and the midterm results were favorable. Therefore, we advocate thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication as a preferred technique to the conventional open plication technique.
