It has been suspected that the cannula of the ultrasonic generator became heated during liposuction, and that the heated cannula might possibly damage the soft tissues such as vessels, nerves and muscles. To confirm these suspicions, the actual temperature of the cannula was measured after being switched on, and the influence of the heated cannula on the soft tissues of 30 rabbits was studied macroscopically and microscopically. When the cooling system of ultrasonic generator was not operated, the temperature of a cannula tip increased to 100degrees C in 10 seconds, and the temperature of a cannula shaft did not increase over 40 degrees C. When the cooling system of the ultrasonic generator was operated, the temperature of the cannula tip increased to 70 degrees C in 20 seconds and to 100 degrees C in 1 minute. The stronger ultrasonic power was, the higher the temperature of the cannula tip was. When the heated cannnula tip touched the muscles, vesseles and nerves directly, the arterial and venous walls were perforated in about 20 seconds and 10 seconds, respectively. Gross changes of the muscles, such as color change and depression of the contacted area, were seen in about 30 seconds, and histological changes occurred in about 3 seconds. When adding the Klein solution, an infiltration solution for increasing the destructive effects of the ultrasound, the onset time of tissue damage was significantly shortened in vessels and nerves, but there was no significant difference in muscles. Although there was no finding of damage by the ultrasonic wave itself on the vessels, nerves, and muscles during ultrasonic liposuction, this study confirmed that the heated cannula could damage vessels, nerves, and muscles. Thus we must try to avoid placing the cannula at certain areas for more than 10 seconds douring the ultrasonic liposuction.

BACKGROUND: Atelectasis is an important cause of impaired gas exchange during the perioperative period. The administration of 100% oxygen, even for brief periods, is associated with pulmonary absorption atelectasis, and the addition of N2O to the inspired gas may promote atelectasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inspired gas composition on postoperative arterial oxygenation in elderly patients. METHODS: Twenty-six female patients with healthy hearts and lungs, and aged 60 yrs, who were scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were divided into two groups. All patients received propofol-fentanyl anesthesia. In the N2O group, patients were ventilated with 100% oxygen during induction, 40% oxygen in N2O during mataintenance, and 100% oxygen during emergence. In the air group, patients received 60% oxygen in air during induction, 40% oxygen in air during maintenance, and 60% oxygen in air during emergence. Arterial blood gases were obtained to evaluate arterial oxygenation by analyzing PaO2 and alveolar arterial oxygen tension differences (AaDO2). RESULTS: In both groups, postoperative PaO2 was lower and AaDO2 higher than preoperative values (P < 0.05), but there were no differences between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that absorption atelectasis during anesthesia is not the main cause of postoperative arterial oxygenation impairment in eldery patients, and that any effect of the inspired gas is likely to be of limited clinical significance.

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare disease, which develops as a result of congenital or acquired causes. Moreover, TEF can be caused by an overinflated cuff during respiratory care with a ventilator in the ICU. So, a low pressure high volume cuff is being used to prevent injury of the tracheal mucosa by the endotracheal tube. The use of a low pressure high volume cuff has decreased respiratory complications, but TEF is still being reported. This case concerns a 78-year-olds woman with heart failure. She was hospitalized for hemiarthroplasty because of a right femur fracture. On the day after admission, she had apnea due to heart failure, but recovered on receiving respiratory care by using a ventilator in the ICU. Thereafter, she began to show symptoms such as paroxysmal coughing, vomiting, and aspiration. We investigated using computed tomography, bronchoscopy and esophagography. We observed a 2-3 cm sized fistula along the posterior wall of the trachea. It was located about 10 cm upper side from the carina on bronchoscopy, perfomed was found in the ICU. She was found to have a TEF and was treated surgically. After her symptoms had improved, she was given hemiarthroplasty under epidural anesthesia. However, 4 days after the operation, the TEF relapsed, but was not as severe as it had been previously. She was alert, but ambulation was not possible because of a general weakness due to long-term hospitalization. Even with the danger of aspiration pneumonia, she left the hospital upon her guardian's request. We report upon this clinical experience and include a brief review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: The Pentax-AWS is a newly developed rigid video laryngoscope. In comparison to the Macintosh laryngoscope, it offers a significantly improved laryngeal view and facilitates endotracheal intubation. The present study was performed to compare the general efficiency and the cardiovascular responses generated by Macintosh and Pentax-AWS systems during endotracheal intubation. METHODS: This study included 120 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class 1 or 2 requiring tracheal intubation for elective surgery. All patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Pentax-AWS (group P) and Macintosh (group M). Induction of anesthesia was performed using fentanyl, thiopental and succinylcholine intravenously. Systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, MBP, DBP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded just prior to induction, 1, 3, and 5 minutes after intubation. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in SBP, MBP, DBP and HR between both groups. However, group P showed a higher POGO (Percentage of Glottic Opening) score than group M during endotracheal intubation. CONCLUSIONS: Use of Pentax-AWS in endotracheal intubation did not increase hemodynamic changes compared to the use of Macintosh laryngoscope. Furthermore, Pentax-AWS offered an improved laryngeal view during endotracheal intubation.

Gossypiboma is referred to as surgical gauze or sponge left in the body of a patient inadvertently following surgery. There are two types of foreign body reaction in the body. The first type is exudative, with the resultant formation of an abscess with or without bacterial invasion and usually causes related clinical symptoms shortly after surgery. The second type is aseptic with extensive adhesions and encapsulating in a foreign body granuloma. Gossypiboma typically have an inconsistent radiologic appearance determined by the time, the type of material and the anatomical location. Furthermore, radio-opque markers are sometimes disintegrated or fragmented over times and ultrasound or CT may be indistinguishable from intra-abdominal abscess or tumor. We report 71-year-old woman in whom gossypiboma is severely adherent with ileal loop caused by pelvic mass.
