목적: 본 연구의 목적은 운동심상 훈련이 심폐 기능에 미치는 효과를 확인하는 것이다. 방법: 본 연구는 20대 성인 남성 26명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 참가자는 각각 13명의 참가자를 고려하여 운동심상 훈련 군과 대조군으로 무작위로 할당되었다. 측정 방법으로는 트레드밀에서 심장부하 검사를 실시하였고, 최대산소섭취량, 운동 시간 및 회복 심박수를 측정하였다. 운동심상 훈련군은 일주일에 5번 운동심상 훈련을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 군 내 결과를 확인 하기 위하여 대응 t 검증을 하였고, 군간 비교를 위하여 독립 t검증을 실시하였다. 결과: 최대 산소 섭취량은 각 군의 전후 비교와 각 군 간의 비교에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 운동심상 훈련군은 대조군에 비해 운동시간에 유의한 변화가 있었다. 회복 심박수에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 운동심상 훈련군에서 최대산소섭취량 및 운동 시간을 개선하지만 회복 심박수에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 운동심상 훈련은 심폐 기능 강화를 위한 프로그램으로 고려할 가치가 있다

Background: The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is the most important index for accurately measuring cardiopulmonary function in patients with acute ischemic heart disease. However, the relationship between the OUES variables and important cardiopulmonary function parameters remain unelucidated for patients with acute ischemic heart disease, which accounts for the largest proportion of heart disease. Objects: The present cross sectional clinical study aimed to determine the multiple relationships among the cardiopulmonary function variables mentioned above in adults with acute ischemic heart disease. Methods: A convenience sample of 110 adult inpatients with ischemic heart disease (age: 57.4 ± 11.3 y; 95 males, 15 females) was enrolled at the hospital cardiac rehabilitation center. The correlation between the important cardiopulmonary function indicators including peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak), minute ventilation (VE)/carbon dioxide production (VCO2) slope, heart rate recovery (HRR), and ejection fraction (EF) and OUES was confirmed. Results: This study showed that OUES was highly correlated with VO2 peak, VE/VCO2 slope, and HRR parameters. Conclusion: The OUES can be used as an accurate indicator for cardiopulmonary function. There are other factors that influence aerobic capacity besides EF, so there is no correlation with EF. Effective cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs can be designed based on OUES during submaximal exercise in patients with acute ischemic heart disease.

본 연구는 심폐소생술 교육경험이 있는 간호대학생의 심폐소생술의 지식과 수행능력을 파악하 고 이들 간의 관계를 탐색하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구로 수행되었다. 연구 참여자는 2018년 10월 18 일부터 10월 30일까지 G광역시에 소재한 2개 대학교 간호학과 4학년에 재학 중인 간호대학생 204명을 대 상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Win 21.0 version Program을 이용하였다. 심폐소생술 지식과 심 폐소생술 수행능력은 양의 상관관계(r=.22, p=.01)로, 심폐소생술 지식이 높을수록 심폐소생술 수행능력이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 G광역시 2개 대학의 간호학과 학생들을 편의 추출하였으므로 본 연구 결과를 일반화하는데 제한이 있을 수 있어 추후 대상자의 지역적 확대를 통한 반복 연구가 필요하며, 심폐소생술 수행능력의 측정이 수행능력 전체를 관찰하여 측정하는 직접 측정이 아니라 자가보고식 간접 측정으로 이루어져 대 상자의 주관이 반영되며, 교육의 효과가 객관적으로 측정되지 않았을 우려가 있다. 그러므로 심폐소생술 수행능력의 직접 측정 도구를 사용한 추후 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study compares the chest compression quality, and the willingness and confidence to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before and after education between the compression only CPR (COCPR) group and the standard CPR (STCPR) group using manikins. Method: This study employs a randomized controlled trial design. A total of 219 and 214 individuals were randomly assigned to the COCPR and STCPR groups, respectively. Both groups were asked to perform CPR for 2 min before and after education. The willingness and confidence to perform CPR were surveyed through a questionnaire. Results: Before education, the STCPR group had a significantly higher mean chest compression depth and accuracy than the COCPR group for the entire 2 min. After education, the STCPR group had a significantly higher mean chest compression depth for 2 min and higher compression accuracy for late 1 min than the COCPR group. However, no significant difference in the willingness and confidence to perform CPR according to the compression method was evident. Conclusion: Repeated training is required to maintain chest compression quality. CPR education improves willingness and confidence to perform CPR.

선박, 해양플랜트, 해상풍력 등과 같은 해양에서의 근무 환경은 고립되어 있고 거친 해상에 바로 노출되어 있어 안전사고의 높은 위험성을 안고 있다. 이에 해양에서 근무를 하는 모든 종사자에게는 비상상황에 대한 대처 능력이 요구되고 있고 비상대응업무를 수행하는 자에 대해서는 STCW협약, OPITO Safety Training Standard 등의 관련 규정에 근거하여 자격 증명이 이루어지고 있다. 특히, 고립된 상황에서 해양종사자들의 응급처치기술은 필수 요건 중의 하나이다. 그러나 선박을 포함한 해양구조물에서 비상탈출 시 사용하게 되는 구명뗏목에서의 심폐소생술은 구명뗏목의 바닥이 고무재질로써 충분한 가슴압박이 힘들어 응급처치자의 심폐소생술에 대한 피로도와 정확도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 추정된다. 본 논문은 조파장치가 설치되어 있는 안전훈련센터에서 15명의 응급처치강사를 표본으로 바다와 유사한 환경을 조성하여 구명뗏목에서의 심폐소생술 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과, 강의실에서의 심폐소생술의 정확도 평균은 99.6 %였으나 구명뗏목의 여러 환경에서의 심폐소생술의 정확도는 84 %였다. 두 장소의 심폐소생술 정확도에 대한 t 값의 절대값이 임계값의 절대갑보다 크기 때문에 구명뗏목의 심폐소생술의 정확도가 낮아짐을 검증하였다. 파도를 0.3미터 형성한 경우에는 구명뗏목의 심폐소생술의 정확도가 77 %로 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 이에 본 논문을 통해 구명뗏목에서의 심폐소생술은 2인 1조로 실시할 것을 제시하며 최근 활용되고 있는 흉부 압박 자동화 장비를 활용할 것을 추천한다.

내시경역행담췌관조영술과 관련된 심폐 합병증은 드물지만 심각한 장애나 심지어 사망까지 발생할 수 있다. ERCP 연 관 심폐합병증으로는 부정맥, 저혈압, 심근 경색, 호흡부전, 저산소증, 흡인 등이 있으며 이런 합병증들은 주로 진정 또는 마취와 관련하여 발생한다. 시술 관련 심폐합병증을 예방 하기 위해서 사용 약물 및 투여 용량에 신중을 기해야 하며, 시술 전 위험인자에 대한 평가는 물론 시술 중, 시술 후 철저한 심폐 활력징후에 대한 모니터링이 필요하다.

This study examines the effects of a rehabilitation program on quality of life (QOL), cardiopulmonary function and fatigue during radiotherapy for breast cancer patients. The program includes aerobic exercise, stretching and strengthening exercises. Sixty-five women participated in this study and they were asked to perform supervised exercises that last for 60 minutes five times a week for six weeks. The European organization for research and treatment of cancer-cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the breast (EORTC QLQ-BR23), predicted maximal volume of oxygen consumption () and fatigue severity scale (FSS) were assessed before and after the rehabilitation program. The 60-minute program consisted of a 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute of aerobic exercises, and 15-minute of strengthening exercises, followed by a five-minute cool-down. Heart rates were monitored throughout the exercise class to ensure that patients were exercising at the target heart rate of 40~75% of the age-adjusted heart rate maximum. There were statistically significant differences in the changes of physical function and cancer related symptoms in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 (p<.05). There was a statistically significant improvement in the predicted (p<.05), although there were no significant differences in the FSS (p>.05). The results of our study suggest that a supervised rehabilitation program may benefit the physical aspects and QOL of patients receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer.

This study was to examine on the respiratory variables, heart rate and muscle activity between the static recovery and dynamic recovery after progressive resistance exercise to maximal point. Subjects were 15 students enrolled in N University. All were tested two times (static recovery and dynamic recovery) and were requested to perform a walking on a treadmill after progressive resistance exercise to maximal point. Electromyography(EMG) was used to monitor the muscle activity(TA: Tibialis Anterior, MG: Medial Gastrocnemius) during gait. CPEX-1 was used to measure the respiratory variables and heart rate. The dynamic recovery group was shown the significant lower heart rate than that of static recovery group at during gait. Respiratory rate showed statistically a significant difference. Electromyography(RMS, root mean square) showed a non-significant difference. But the dynamic recovery group of muscle activity was found highly in TA and MG. This study indicated that the dynamic recovery method evidenced more faster than the static recovery method. And this type of dynamic rest by walking can be a help of recovery after exercise.

The aim of this study is to confirm the importance of a more immediate advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) through a comparative analysis of the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) according to the occurrence place of cardiac arrest in tertiary emergency department. The subjects were 493 patients who had received CPR in Chosun university, Emergency Medical Department, between April 2013 and March 2015. The subjects were categorized into three groups according to the occurrence place of cardiac arrest: pre-hospital, in-emergency room, and in-ward. We conducted a clinical analysis of the results. During the period, 493 cardiac arrest patients underwent CPR, 63 patients (12.8%) were discharged alive and 41 patients (8.3%) got a good score on the cerebral performance category (CPC). Concerned occurrence place of cardiac arrest, 11.3% (16 patients) of the in-emergency room group (total 288 patients) were discharged alive. Also, 9.4% (27 patients) of the In-emergency room group got a good score on the CPC. In the other two-group cases, 7.1% (10 patients) of pre-hospital group (total 141 patients) and 6,2% (4 patients) of in-ward group (total 64 patients) got a good score on the CPC. These results indicate that both the rates of alive discharge and a good CPC score of the in-emergency room group are higher than in out-of-emergency room. This difference might be due to the fact that patients could get the more immediate ACLS by emergency medicine doctors if cardiac arrest occurs in emergency room than other places.

Severe maternal morbidity is frequently associated with catastrophic complications of pregnancy such as amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) or sepsis due to chorioamnionitis. The authors report a case of postpartum maternal hypoxic encephalopathy that might be attributed to AFE or sepsis due to chorioamnionitis with Escherichia coli bacteremia, and review the relevant literature. The patient presented with preterm labor, underwent Cesarean section for intrauterine fetal demise, and experienced postpartum cardiopulmonary collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulation, which led to catastrophic postpartum maternal encephalopathy.

Cervical epidural injection is a common treatment for management of neck, shoulder, and upper extremity pain. Although several complications are possible, cardiopulmonary arrest and intraventricular pneumocephalus are rare serious complications, mainly occurring when the dura has been punctured. We report on a case of cardiopulmonary arrest and intraventricular pneumocephalus after cervical epidural injection with loss of resistance technique using air. After performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 30 minutes, a pulse was regained; however, the patient’s mental status was coma. Despite receiving conservative treatment, the patient ultimately died without recovery of consciousness.
