Children's behavior in the postanesthesia care unit: the development of the Child Behavior Coding System-PACU (CBCS-P).
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a behavioral coding measure, the Children's Behavior Coding System-PACU (CBCS-P), for children's distress and nondistress behaviors while in the postanesthesia recovery unit. METHODS A multidisciplinary team examined videotapes of children in the PACU and developed a coding scheme that subsequently underwent a refinement process (CBCS-P). To examine the relia...
متن کاملVentricular fibrillation due to coronary spasm at the site of myocardial bridge -A case report-
Myocardial bridge is a congenital anomaly characterized by narrowing of some of the epicardial coronary arterial segments running in the myocardium during systole. Occasionally, the compression of a coronary artery by a myocardial bridge can be associated with the clinical manifestations of myocardial ischemia, and might even trigger a myocardial infarction or malignant ventricular arrhythmias....
متن کاملLow prevalence of coronary artery spasm in patients with normal coronary angiograms and unexplained ventricular fibrillation.
AIMS The aetiology of ventricular fibrillation in patients without identifiable structural heart disease is unknown. Recently, high prevalence of silent ischaemia due to coronary artery spasm has been reported in such patients. However, in at least one report, all patients had non-critical coronary artery lesions. Identification of coronary artery spasm as the underlying aetiology of ventricula...
متن کاملThrombosis of sirolimus-eluting coronary stent in the postanesthesia care unit.
A 44-yr-old woman with a drug-eluting coronary stent placement two weeks before surgery suffered a myocardial infarction in the postanesthesia care unit immediately after hysterectomy. She had missed only one dose of aspirin and clopidogrel preoperatively. Early recognition of subacute stent thrombosis and urgent percutaneous coronary intervention probably prevented her death. In this case repo...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemia in the postanesthesia care unit: a case report.
Indications of myocardial ischemia should be treated quickly and effectively to avoid permanent myocardial damage. This article describes a case of myocardial ischemia detected in the postanesthesia care unit following an excision of a facial/neck hematoma in an 83-year-old male. The patient had undergone extensive facial reconstructive surgery for squamous cell carcinoma the previous day. Mark...
