전덕호,이동필,최우익 대한응급의학회 2004 大韓應急醫學會誌 Vol.15 No.6

P u r p o s e: Life-threatening effects from poisonous snakebites seem to be relatively rare in Korea. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to verify a new triage system by using mainly the local effect scoring system to determine whether it may be used as a general guide for snakebite toxicity in the early injury stage. M e t h o d s: A retrospective study of 108 snakebite patients who visited the Emergency Department of Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center from April 2000 to December 2003 was conducted. A local effect scoring system was used to grade the toxicity, and the results was compared with those obtained using the traditional grading s y s t e m . R e s u l t s: According to the grading system for severity, grades 0, I and II was most common ones whereas and grades III and IV were relatively rare (9.3%, 1.9%). Local effect scores of 9 to 16, which were considered to correspond to grades III & IV, were documented in 15 cases (13.9%). For the patients with scores from 9 to 16, the average length of stay and the average dosage of the antivenin were 4.54 days and 2.0 vials compared with 1.43 days and 0.73 vials for those with a score of 8 or less, and these differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). There were 9 complicated cases, but they were not considered to be l i f e - t h r e a t e n i n g . C o n c l u s i o n: The local effect scoring system correlated well with the traditional grading system for snakebite severity and may provide an instrument for evaluating the severity of snakebites in the early injury stage. Also, our study supports the conclusion that snakebites in Korea should be reevaluated for the severity.

Retrograde Intubation in Patients with Severe Cervical Ankylosing Spondylitis - A Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Combined Technique

김재우,김호중,전덕호 대한응급의학회 2012 大韓應急醫學會誌 Vol.23 No.3

Occurrence of cervical spineankylosis is rare, and intubation of patients with this condition can be difficult, particularly when fiberoptic laryngoscopy is not available. We performed successful endotracheal intubation in a 64-year-old male patient using a 7-mm cuffed polyvinyl chloride (PVC)tube with the help of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The LMA was initially used for rapid ventilation of the patient,and the guide wire was passed into the airway from the site of puncture of the cricothyroid membrane. This wire was easily observed in the LMA tube, and the use of long forceps was not required.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe thunderclap headache with multifocal segmental vasoconstriction of the cerebral arteries. RCVS can be diagnosed if the cerebral angiogram shows segmental stenosis and spontaneously resolves within weeks to months. RCVS is reversible, but might cause brain lesions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. We report a 45-year-old woman with severe sudden onset frontal headache who was identified with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.

Manual Removal of a Finger Stuck Tightly in a Door Handle: The Lubricant and Compressor Technique

김재우,김호중,전덕호 대한응급의학회 2012 大韓應急醫學會誌 Vol.23 No.2

Until now, tight-fitting material, such as a ring on a digit, has been treated primarily using ring cutter techniques. If this was not available, most physicians would attempt to pull materials out using simple instruments available in the emergency room. The material selected most often was lubricant. However, for cases in which the tight-fitting material was unusual in that the finger was fully covered so that the joint or distal part could not be located in order to check on complications, there have been no methods for consideration with references. Therefore, we treated a patient whose finger was stuck in an unusual circumstance, and removed it manually using the lubricant and compressor technique.

Soluble compounds of chromium are widely used in industrial processes, including printing, photography, pyrotechnics, dyeing, electroplating, aircraft, shipbuilding, and leather tanning. Exposure in industry is generally via the inhalation of dusts and fumes. Ingestion of chromium (chromate or dichromate salt) has occurred accidentally in suicide attempts and during drug experimentation and may causes ulceration of the bowel, diarrhea, hemorrhagic diathesis, acute renal failure, and hepatic damage. Ingestion of hexavalent chromium compounds is considered to be one hundred times more toxic than the trivalent compounds. Chromium poisoning in children is an uncommon, potentially lethal form of poisoning which could possibly increase in incidence because of the resumed greater domestic distribution of dichromate in Korea. We report a case of ammonium dichromate ingestion by a child that resulted in a healthy discharge.

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic multi-system disorder characterized by wide spread hamartomas in several organs. We present the case of a 28-year-old female patient diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis combined with life threatening complication. She developed a peri-renal hemorrhage due to an angiomyolipoma rupture and spontaneous pneumothorax at a time. In order to diagnose and treat this problem, the emergency physician should understand the clinical presentation and complication associated with tuberous sclerosis.

Purpose: To evaluate and analyze the clinical characteristics and history of patients with hemoperitoneum due to ovarian rupture. Methods: Subjects were fertile females who visited the emergency department between January 2006 and December 2008. We did retrospective chart reviews only for patients diagnosed with hemoperitoneum. We investigated the characteristics and history of enrolled patients. Results: A total of 76 females (mean age = 28 years) were enrolled. Of the 76, 32 (41.8%) were initially checked for coitus history by emergency physicians (EP). Of the 76, 52(68.4%) were operated on and the remaining 24 (31.6%)were only observed. Only 4 patients had knowledge of a history of ovarian cysts. Conclusion: Coitus history and ovarian cyst history should be done by EPs during the initial examination of fertile females who complain of lower abdominal pain.

약물음독확자에게 시행한 정신과적 검사(Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory profiles, MMPI)의 유용성

장용준,임훈,조영순,이명갑,전덕호,김호중 대한응급의학회 2010 대한응급의학회지 Vol.21 No.2

Purpose: For evaluation of drug intoxication patients, the MMPI is a widely used neuropsychiatric tool to investigate patients’ personalities. Methods: We administered a questionnaire and the MMPI to patients who came to our ER between 1 March 2007 and March 1 2008. Patient characteristics, past neuropsychiatric history, and were investigated. Results: We enrolled 43 patients, X females and Y males. Anti-psychotics were the drugs that were most frequently consumed (by 42% of subjects) and economic status was the most frequent cause of overdose. Pathologic psychosis was the most frequent disorder in their medical history. The MMPI indicated that depression type (D) was 64 and 36patients were increased over the nomal level. 16 patients of 18 patients with depression history were increased in the type D (p=0.000) and assessment was analytically increased (k=0.854). Conclusion: MMPI of drug intoxication patients may be useful during early neuropsychiatric examinations, and may be a useful tool for making treatment decisions.

Intussusception is the most common abdominal emergency in children younger than 2 years old. It is often considered idiopathic. However, an underlying disease can cause a pathological lead point for the intussusception. Its incidence after trauma is uncommon, and traumatic intussusception in children is even rarer. In Korea, traumatic intussusception in a child has never been reported. We experienced a case of traumatic intussusception in a 3-year-old girl. The patient was injured by a plastic bar while playing, and she soon complained of abdominal pain. We identified an ileo-ileal intussusception on computed tomogram. The intussusception was reduced successfully by air reduction in the emergency department. She was sent to home without complication after three hospital days.
