Early diagnosis of negative-pressure pulmonary edema presenting as diffuse alveolar hemorrhage using lung ultrasonography -A case report- Open
Background: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur due to a variety of disorders. Hence, rapid diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment are imperative.Case: A 55-year-ol…

Clinical implication of thoracic skeletal muscle volume as a predictor of ventilation-weaning failure in brain-injured patients: A retrospective observational study Open
Sarcopenia, a generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass that is primarily evident in the respiratory musculature, is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill patients. However, the relationship between sarcopenia and ventilation-w…

GSPE attenuates CSE-induced lung inflammation and emphysema by regulating autophagy via the reactive oxygen species/TFEB signaling pathway Open
Cigarette smoke can enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in inflammatory and epithelial cells. Subsequently, ROS enhance autophagy-induced inflammation due to alveolar macrophages (AMs), the primary source of cytokines implicat…

Impact of Controlling Nutritional Status score on short-term outcomes after carotid endarterectomy: a retrospective cohort study Open
Our results showed that the CONUT score, a simple and readily available parameter using only objective laboratory values, is independently associated with early postoperative complications.

Clinical Implications of the Controlling Nutritional Status Score on Short-term Outcomes in Patients with Pleural Infection Open
Objective Pleural infection is a significant disease that continues to pose severe problems for respiratory physicians. However, prognostic factors of pleural infection remain poorly understood. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) s…

Acute lung injury in a worker after inhalation of ethylene phosphorodifluoridite Open
Ethylene phosphorodifluoridite (C2H4F4O2P2) (CAS No. 3965-00-2) is a colorless corrosive fuming liquid that is used as a stabilizer in the electrolyte of rechargeable batteries. There are no previous reports of toxic effects following expo…

Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Predicted Short-Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Isolated Tricuspid Valve Surgery Open
Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) has recently been identified as an inflammatory marker. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic implications of preoperative SII in patients undergoing isolated t…

Anesthetic management during whole-lung lavage using lung ultrasound in a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a case report Open
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon disease characterized by progressive accumulation of lipoprotein material in the lungs due to impaired surfactant clearance. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is the current standard treatment and …
View article: Implication of AV node blockers in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing head and neck surgery; BRASH syndrome: a case report
Implication of AV node blockers in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing head and neck surgery; BRASH syndrome: a case report Open
BRASH (Bradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular [AV]-node blocker medications, Shock, and Hyperkalemia), a novel syndrome, is a synergistic interaction between AV node blockers and hyperkalemia, resulting in bradycardia. We report a ca…

Fentanyl versus Remifentanil for Cough Suppression and Recovery after Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Open
In comparison with fentanyl, remifentanil did not result in a wide fluctuation of blood pressure and heart rate upon emergence from general anesthesia. Moreover, remifentanil contributed to cough suppression and postoperative pain control.…

Rocuronium Induced Masseter Muscle Rigidity during Intubation in Patients with Dental Surgery Open
Masseter muscle rigidity (MMR), known as the âjaw of steelâ, sometimes makes laryngoscope unusable due to the stiffness of the jaw. MMR during general anesthesia was previously considered as an early episode of malignant hyperthermia (…

Characteristics of fever and response to antipyretic therapy in military personnel with adenovirus-positive community-acquired pneumonia Open
Background In 2014, an outbreak of adenoviral pneumonia occurred in the Korean military training center. However, there are limited data on the characteristics of the fever and its response to antipyretic therapy in immunocompetent adults …
