compartment syndromes/비만증

BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are more frequently observed in morbidly obese patients. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a thrombolytic agent which dissolves the thrombus more rapidly than conventional heparin therapy and reduces the mortality and morbidity

Background: Gluteal compartment syndrome is an uncommon condition and can be difficult to diagnose. It has been diagnosed after trauma, vascular injury, infection, surgical positioning, and prolonged immobilization from drug or alcohol

BACKGROUND The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) has been clearly identified as being one of the main causes of mortality after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). The ACS is defined as a sustained intra-abdominal pressure > 20 mm Hg associated with a new organ dysfunction or failure. A

Objectives Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is poorly identified in surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and an early management is crucial. The aim of this study was to validate how many risk factors were needed to predict ACS. Secondary objectives were to assess its prevalence and

The incidence of Intraabdominal Hypertension (IAH) and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is underestimated within the surgery of large size parietal-abdominal defects, with the maximum transverse diameter above 10 cm, being considered the main risk factor for the development of intra abdominal

Thoracic compartment syndrome has been observed after trauma and after mediastinal and cardiac procedures; however, an adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-like presentation has not been described as a part of thoracic compartment syndrome. We describe the case of an obese patient who

UNASSIGNED Compartment syndromes have been reported in nearly every anatomical area of the extremities. Similarly, in the lumbar spine, there is a risk of a compartment syndrome following either direct or indirect injury to the paraspinal muscles. In this study, we present a case of lumbar

We report the case of an obese 34-year-old woman who spontaneously developed compartment syndrome in her right calf. The patient was treated with four-compartment fasciotomy and debridement of necrotic tissue. Four months after treatment she was ambulating without the use of aids and had full range

Previously published series of surgery for late-onset tibia vara reported a significant number of complications and fair or poor results. Obesity in many of these patients makes surgical intervention an even more daunting prospect. Circular external fixation is applicable to almost any limb size and

Obesity is a major problem from a public health perspective and a difficult practical matter for intensivists. The obesity pandemic has required treating clinicians to develop an appreciation of the substantial pathophysiological effects of obesity on the various organ systems. The important

OBJECTIVE To report a case of subtrochanteric femur fracture that led to intraoperative compartment syndrome in the well leg. METHODS A 28-year-old obese male who presented with a comminuted subtrochanteric fracture underwent a prolonged open reduction and internal fixation using dynamic condylar

Operative fixation of 22 nonunited fractures was undertaken in 21 obese patients. Eleven patients were women and 10 were men, with an average age of 46.3 years (range 25-74). The average body mass index in this group of patients was 37.9 kg/m2 (range 33.2-57.1). Two patients were classified as

OBJECTIVE This article discusses the methods available to evaluate chest wall mechanics and the relationship between intraabdominal pressure (IAP) and chest wall mechanics during general anaesthesia in normal and obese individuals, as well as in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of lower limb compartment syndrome (LLCS) in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and the prevalence of risk factors in patients with LLCS. METHODS Data were collected from 17 UK robotic surgery institutions for a multicentre analysis. Data were used to
