PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic yield and complications of percutaneous ultrasound-guided renal biopsyusing a biopsy gun in patients with diffuse renal disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using an automated biopsy gunmounted with a 16G needle, biopsies were performed on 90 patients with diffuse renal disease. In a total of 95biopsies, diagnostic yield, the mean number of glomeruli and frequency of complication were retrospectivelyanalysed. RESULTS: Tissue adequate for histological diagnosis was obtained in 92% of procedures. Mean glomerularyield was 8.3, and complications were seen in 26% of the procedures, 25% of these were minor, and 1% were major. CONCLUSION: For the diagnosis of diffuse renal disease, utrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy using anautomated biopsy gun is accurate and safe.

Single dose glass ampules have been developed for ease of administration, accuracy of measurement of dosage, sterility and use in prepackaged kits. Glass particle contamination of the contents of single dose glass ampules can occur upon opening. In our study, we determined whether different ampule size, different aspiration techniques or different methods of ampule opening had any effect on glass particle contamination. Different ampule sizes (1, 2, 20 ml), different aspiration techniques (19G, 22G needle) and different methods of ampule opening (one point ampule, cutting with circular etching, cutting with one plane etching) were evaluated. There was no signifcant difference in the number of particles aspirated by any given aspiration technique, ampule size and method of ampule opening. But intravenous glass particle administration is associated with patholagic responses, so the use of a filter needle, and in-line filter devices and a low pressure infusion system is advised.

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.

A case is presented of tension pneumothorax during internal jugular catheterization. Pneu- mothorax is one of complications of internal jugular catheterization but is very rare. If it occurs after anesthetic induction, discontinuence of N2O is very important in order not to inerease the size of pneumotborax. And if general safety measures are observed such as uae of fine locator needle, confinement of needle depth and cannulation in end-expiratory phase, the occurrence rate of pneumothorax during the procedure could be much lessened.
