摘要:

Power take-off injuries are uncommon, but serious and potentially fatal. Seven cases are reported demonstrating the violent trauma that can be incurred. The danger associated with use of machines with this and other power equipment is emphasized. Safety shields should be improved, and operators educated about the importance of retaining the shields and using the machinery properly at all times.

摘要:

A tracheo-innominate artery erosion in a 10-year-old boy 10 months after 80% burns in a gasoline explosion is reported. Tracheostomy was performed on the day of the burn to maintain an airway. Fatal hemorrhage from the erosion was the cause of death. Prevention can be achieved by: correct placement (second or third ring); aseptic tracheal toilet; positive nitrogen balance; and earliest possible tracheostomy removal.

摘要:

A case demonstrating the successful use of Silastic® shunts for immediate limb revascularization is presented. Temporary limb revascularization may reduce the rate of amputation in combined popliteal vessel injuries. A major cause of limb loss is delay between injury and revascularization, including transport time and time spent dealing with other injuries. Repair of the popliteal vein increases the chance of successful limb salvage. Temporary Silastic shunts can alleviate time loss while other problems are dealt with and allow rapid venous, as well as arterial, revascularization. The technical ease and rapidity of shunt placement converts a catastrophic vascular emergency into a manageable problem.

摘要:

A basic principle of children's surgery is to plan it to last for 70 years. The successful reconstruction of the dorsalis pedis artery in an 8-year-old after trauma may be of benefit if he develops peripheral vascular disease as an adult.

摘要:

A patient with a 30% scald burn was treated with topical silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene®). On two occasions, within 48 hours of treatment, the patient developed acute leukopenia. Bone marrow aspiration revealed cell maturation arrest. The possible mechanisms of this leukopenia are discussed. It is recommended that daily leukocyte counts be done in burn patients being treated with silver sulfadiazine.
