Abstract

Lone Rasmussen1,2, Steffen Christensen1,2, Poul Lenler-Petersen2, Søren P Johnsen11Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark; 2Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Silkeborg Hospital, Silkeborg, DenmarkBackground: There are data to suggest that anemia is associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In contrast, critically ill patients with low hemoglobin levels (4.3–5.5 mmol/L, 7.0–9.0 g/dL) in general do not appear to have a worsened clinical outcome. The effects of anemia in critically ill patients with COPD remain to be clarified. We examined the association between anemia (hemoglobin < 7.4 mmol/L,

Abstract

Time from symptom onset to final treatment is crucial for survival. We present a case where prehospital diagnosis by the emergency physician in the ambulance was followed by a telemedicine conference and data transfer to the hospital. This was combined with bypassing of the emergency room and direct transfer to the thoracic surgical theatre, and time to treatment was reduced considerably. Obtaining a prehospital diagnosis in time-dependent life-threatening disease as basement for supportive treatment and transfer directly to treatment is very important.

Abstract

Uncontrollable hemorrhage from esophageal varicose veins in portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver may be treated with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube. A case of ventricular fibrillation caused by a misplaced Sengstaken-Blakemore tube is described. Patients with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in place should be checked by a trained nurse for early signs of misplacement of the tube.

Abstract

Based on notifications to the Danish Committee on Adverse Drug Reactions and to the Central Death Register, 30 cases of fatal drug-induced anaphylactic shock were identified during the period 1968-1990. The most frequent causes were contrast media for X-ray examinations, antibiotics, and extracts of allergens. Nine cases occurred outside hospital; they were mainly caused by the use of allergen extracts of moulds for desensitization in general practice. Fatal drug-induced anaphylactic shock is rare, estimated in the present study at 0.3 case per million inhabitants per year.

Abstract

Intravenous administration sets were changed at varying time intervals between every 24 h and 120 h in 387 patients. The rates of intraluminal contamination of the cannulae and of local inflammation were measured in relation to the time interval between changing sets. There was no correlation between phlebitis and intraluminal contamination, but a significant association was found between phlebitis and fever, infusion of potassium at greater than 10 mmol l-1, Venflon type 140 and infusion of blood or intralipid. No correlation was found between septicaemia and intraluminal contamination of the infusion systems. Contamination of cannulae increased slightly with time, but this was not statistically significant. We conclude that there will be no clinical benefit by daily changing of administration sets, compared with changing up to every fifth day.
