During massive transfusions especially under pressure, considerable hemolysis has been expected. It had been assumed that hernolysis would increase with increasing age of the bank blood, increasing pressure and with decreasing bore of the needle. Moss and Stauntan, however, found that hemolysis actually increased when blood was forced through larger bore needles. The authors have studied the magnitude of hemolysis according to various needle sizes under ordinary clinical transfusion conditions, and concluded as follows: 1) Hemolysis was maximum when a 18G needle was used and minimum with use of a 22G. needle regardless of the age and temperature of the bank blood, 2) Hemolysis increased with increasing age of the bank blood. 3) When the needle size was constant, hemolysis was not affected by warming of the bank blood.

BACKGROUND: We postulated that loss of epidural negative pressure might affect on the sensory blockade level of spinal anesthesia. METHODS: Thirty nine patients were involved in our study; group 1, spinal anesthsia with 23G spinal needle (n=20): group 2, spinal anesthesia with 27G spinal needle through the 18G Weiss epidural needle (n=19). Sensory blockade level was checked by pinprick test at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes after spinal anesthesia. RESULTS: There was no difference of sensory blockade level between group 1 and 2. CONCLUSION: From above result, there was no evidence of loss of epidural negative pressure affecting on the spinal sensory blockade level.

The authors analysed the findings of discograms in the 1355 levels of 900 herniated lumbar disc cases during May 1984 to January 1987. Prior to intradiscal injection of Chymopapain in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, Conray contrast medium was injected. The discographic patterns were devided in five types:I) contained, II) degenerative, III) annular bulging, IV) subligamentous leak, and V) epidural leak type. Among the 5 types, annular bulging type was most common(38.7%). Discography was useful in the determination of a needle placement, intradiscal pathology, and Chymopapain injection or not.
