It is common to administrate neostigmiae methylsulfate and atropiae aulfate to counteract the effect of nondepolarising neuromuscular blocker. In case of cardiovascular disease, the effect of bradycardia or tachycardia resultiag from the administration of these drugs may be harmful to the patient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of combinatioa and method of administration of neostigmine methylsulfate and atropine sulfate on heart rate. One hundred and two patients in both sexes were devided into three groups(A, B, C), and each group was devided into three subgroups (AI, AII, AIII, BI, BII, BIII, CI, CII, CIII). In group A, neostigmine methylsulfate and atropine aulfate were mixed and administered intravenously within fifteen seconds. In group B, atropine eulfate was administered thirty seconds after the administration of neostigmine methylsulfate. In group C, the two drugs were mixed and administered over a period of five minutes. In subgroup I the ratio of neostigmine methyliulfate to atropine sulfate was 2: 1(0. 04 mg/kg: 0.02 mg/kg) in subgroup 3 the ratio was 3: 2(0.03 mg/kg: 0. 02 mg/kg), and in subgroup lll the ratio was 1: 1(0. 02 mg/kg: 0. 02 mg/kg). The heart rate was counted just before, 0. 5 minute, 1 miaute, l. 5 minutes, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes after the administration of the drugs. The results were as follows: 1) Initial increase in heart rate was significant in lager atropine ratio. 2) The later decrease in heart rate waa less in larger atropine ratio. 3) The maximal increases in heart rate in groap A and B appeared thirty seconds apart, but there was little difference betweea them. 4) The change ia heart rate was the least in group C.

Penile amputation is quite rare and requires emergency reimplantation by using microvascular surgery. Herein we report a case of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally has his penis amputated during circumcision. Emergency reimplantation was performed by using microvascular surgery. Thereafter partial necrosis of glans penis and distal penile skin was noted So penoplasty by using scrotal skin was done to restore normal shape penis. After 6 months later, normal erection and sensation were restored.

In air leak syndrome, a significant portion of the volume delivered during a positive pressure breath can be lost through the leak. HFOV can achieve adequate ventilation at lower peak and/or mean intrapulmonary pressure than conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and has been an effective treatment of already established air leak syndrome. We report a 1-day-old male infant with severe respiratory failure from pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, who was refractory to CMV with chest tube drainage. HFOV was applied to this patient for 114 hours, and improvement of oxygenation and ventilation as well as significant reduction of pneumothorax followed.

11,609 of childhood new outpatients seen in Department of Dermatology of Seoul National University Hospital from 1975 to 1984 were analyzed statistica,lly. The study results were summarized as follows: l. 11, 609 out of 48, 188 new outpatients were under 15 years old age, amounting to 24. l %. 2. The 10 most common dermatoses were atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, urticari, hemangiorna, contact dermatitis, fungal disease, molluscum contagiosum, scabies, impetigo and nevocellular neuvs. The most freguent age groups were 2 to 6 years amounting to 47 2p, af total outpatients. 4. The peak incidence occurred in August, while the lowest incidence occurred in November and October. 5. Dermatoses which showed increasing tendency were nevocellular nevus and vitiligo, those of decreasing tendency were contact dermatitis and impetigo,

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to examine the effects of simulation-based education regarding care in a cardio-pulmonary emergency care as related to knowledge, clinical performance ability, and problem solving process in new nurses. METHODS: An equivalent control group pre-post test experimental design was used. Fifty new nurses were recruited, 26 nurses for the experimental group and 24 nurses for the control group. The simulation-based cardio-pulmonary emergency care education included lecture, skill training, team-based practice, and debriefing, and it was implemented with the experimental group for a week in May, 2009. Data were analyzed using frequency, ratio, chi-square, Fisher's exact probability and t-test with the SPSS program. RESULTS: The experimental group who had the simulation-based education showed significantly higher know-ledge (t=5.76, p<.001) and clinical performance ability (t=5.86, p<.001) for cardio-pulmonary emergency care compared with the control group who had traditional education but problem solving process was not included (t=1.11, p=.138). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that a simulation-based education is an effective teaching method to improve knowledge and clinical performance ability in new nurses learning cardio-pulmonary emergency care. Further study is needed to identify the effect of a simulation-based team discussion on cognitive outcome of clinical nurses such as problem solving skills.
