Abstract PDF: Central venous catheterization is often necessary to manage critically ill patients in the intensive care unit and some surgical patients in the operating room. However, this procedure can lead to various complications. We experienced a case of subclavian venous catheterization that was complicated by looping, kinking, knotting, and entrapment of the guidewire. We were able to identify the extravascular looping and knotting of the guidewire under fluoroscopy and consequently removed it successfully. We suggest that a guidewire should be confirmed by fluoroscopic imaging if it has become entrapped.

BACKGROUND
Nutritional support is important in intensive care for critically ill patients in an effort to decrease the mortality and morbidity. This study was conducted to evaluate the propriety of nutritional support and to understand the effect of a nutrition consultationin critically ill patients to assess and analyze nutritional status.
METHODS
Between January and December 2006, patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) > or = 7 days and between 20 and 80 years of age were included. Patients transferred to another hospital, patients discharged against medicine advice, and patients with unknown weight were excluded. Two hundred sixty-two patients were enrolled. The demographic data of patients and the state of nutritional support were reviewed by medical records.
RESULTS
Two hundred sixty-two patients stayed in the ICU a mean of 16.0 +/- 9.8 days and received nutrition support for 11.0 +/- 8.4 days. Except 15 patients who did not receivenutritional support, the mean daily calculated caloric requirement of 247 patients was 1,406.2 +/- 253.8 kcal, the mean daily delivered caloric amount was 899.5 +/- 338.7 kcal, and the total delivered/required caloric ratio was 66.4 +/- 28.1%. The total delivered/required caloric ratio of the patients who received a nutritional consultation and the patients who did not receive nutritional consultation were 72.6 +/- 25.8% and 55.9 +/- 33.3%.
CONCLUSIONS
In this study, we identified that critically ill patients received insufficient nutritional support. We recommend continuous monitoring and management for nutritional support by systematic administration of nutritional support teams.

Abstract PDF

The Korean Society of Critical Care Medicine (KSCCM) has introduced the Subspecialty System for Critical Care Medicine in Korea under the auspices of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences (KAMS) in March 2008. Nine medical societies that included the Korean Association of Internal Medicine, the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, the Korean Society of Anesthesiology, the Korean Neurological Association, the Korean Neurosurgical Society, the Korean Surgical Society, the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine, the Korean Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and the Korean Pediatric Society participated to the new critical care subspecialty. The Board of Critical Care should be certified again every 5 year after achieving the required qualification by the KSCCM. This paper summarizes the Subspecialty Certification System for Critical Care Medicine in Korea.

Abstract PDF: BACKGROUND
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin, can increase nitric oxide (NO) production by expression of an inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Bacterial infections of the central nervous system dilate cerebral vessels and increase cerebral blood flow. We hypothesized that systemic and intraventricular application of bacterial lipopolysaccharide would increase cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production due to increase in blood flow to choroid plexus caused by NO-induced vasodilation.
METHODS
Ventriculocisternal perfusion was used to measure the production of CSF in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. The lateral ventricle and cisterna magna were cannulated stereotactically and perfused continuously with artificial CSF with blue dextran 2000 as the indicator. Baseline collections of CSF began after steady state outflow was established; then, endotoxin was administered intravenously or intraventricularly. The baseline rate of CSF production was compared with that measured during 3 hours after endotoxin administration.
RESULTS
The baseline rate of CSF production was 2.6 0.3 (2.2~3.5)microliter/minute in the rat. There were no significant changes in CSF production rate after intravenous or intraventriculr administration of endotoxin.
CONCLUSIONS
We could not observe significant changes in CSF production rate with the ventriculocisternal perfusion method of measuring CSF production after intravenous or intraventriculr administration of endotoxin in the rats.

Abstract PDF: BACKGOUND: This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of central venous catheterization via the external jugular vein (EJV). We compared the success rate of left and right EJV catheterization. The influence of the course of left and right external jugular vein on success rate was investigated also.
METHODS
Eighty anesthetized adult surgical patients were studied consecutively. Patients were allocated to left or right EJV catheterization and measured the angles between EJV and clavicle and transverse shoulder line. Catheterization was performed under sterile conditions by Seldinger technique after angiography of EJV and subclavian vein. We analyzed the relationship between the angles and success rate and time for catheterization. We compared the success rate of left and right EJV catheterization.
RESULTS
The overall rate of intrathoracic placement was 74 from 80 catheterization (92.5%). Analysis of success in left and right EJV catheterization did not reveal statistically significant differences. The success rates did not show any correlation with course of EJV. Complications were few and not serious.
CONCLUSIONS
This study indicated that left and right EJVs were good routes for central venous catheterizationan with acceptably high success rate. However, we could not find the predictor of success for central venous catheterization via EJV.
