Abstract

Introduction: Sepsis and septic shock are organ dysfunctions caused by the dysregulation of the body's response to infection and are the most common causes of death. Objective: This study aims to describe the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and lactate levels in patients with sepsis and septic shock who died in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: An observational retrospective study was conducted by examining the medical record data of sepsis and sepsis shock patients who were hospitalized in the ICU of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya from January to December 2019. Results: The study sample was 28 patients: 16 with sepsis and 12 with septic shock. Fifteen patients (53.6%) were women. The patients' mean age was 53.18 ± 13.61 years, and most patients (8 patients, 28.6%) belonged to the late adult age group (36-45 years). The most common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus and hypertension (30.8%). The highest incidence of infection in both groups occurred in the lungs (42.9%). Most of the patients had high SOFA scores, in the moderate (7-9) to severe (≥ 10) category (39.3%). Almost all patients (82.1%) were treated for less than one week. The hematological examination within the first 24 hours showed a leukocyte value of 16,995 (Leukocytosis) and a platelet value of 279,500 (Normal). The NLR of septic shock patients (31.38±55.61) was higher than the NLR of sepsis patients (23.75±22.87). The PLR of septic shock patients (534.02±1000.67) was lower than the PLR of patients (802.93±1509.89). Lastly, the lactate levels in septic shock patients (3.84±1.99) were higher than in sepsis patients (1.97±1.06). Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the NLR and PLR values "‹"‹between sepsis and septic shock patients, but there were significant differences in their initial lactate levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is an alternative to Opioid based anesthesia (OBA) which uses multimodal analgesia to replace opioids. However, its feasibility, safety, and exact recommended combination remain debatable. Case Series: We administered OFA in 5 types of elective ophthalmic surgeries under general anesthesia in ASA 1-2 adult patients (evisceration, ocular exenteration, periosteal graft, scleral buckling, vitrectomy, and dacryocystorhinostomy) to assess the feasibility of OFA. We gave preoperative Paracetamol and Pregabalin with Dexmedetomidine as a loading dose (1 mcg/kg in 10 minutes) and maintenance at 0.7 mcg kg-1 per hour. Induction was performed using Propofol 1-2 mg kg-1, Lidocaine 1-1.5 mg kg-1 IV, and Rocuronium. Before the incision, Dexamethasone and Ranitidine were given. Maintenance was done using Dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane. Fentanyl was used as rescue analgesia if required. Dexmedetomidine was stopped 15-30 minutes before the procedure ended. Metoclopramide and Ketorolac were given as postoperative management. Throughout the procedure, our patients had stable hemodynamics, did not experience life-threatening bradycardia, and did not require rescue analgesia. All patients regained full consciousness and did not experience postoperative nausea and vomiting, emergency delirium, or coughing. Conclusion: Multimodal analgesia was an excellent intraoperative OFA regimen as an alternative to OBA and provided controlled hypotension in ocular surgery. Safe OFA is possible with combined analgesia regimens, strict intraoperative monitoring, and adequate anesthesia depth.

Abstract

Introduction: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic and many management challenges. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is one of the most common pneumonia complications in COVID-19 cases. ARDS in COVID-19 have worse outcomes and increased risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Objective: This case report aims to recognize and understand ARDS management in a severe COVID-19 case. Case Report: A 68-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hypertension arrived at the Emergency Room (ER) after experiencing five days of fever, cough, diarrhea with frequency of four times a day, weakness, and a positive antigen result for COVID-19 at admission. Anosmia was absent. The patient had been vaccinated for COVID-19 twice. The main problem was his desaturation of 88%, blood pressure of 156/73 mmHg, heart rate of 80x/minute, and respiratory rate of 20x/minute. However, the patient was alert and admitted to the isolation ward. After 21 days of hospitalization, the patient's condition worsened. The patient developed ARDS and was referred to the COVID ICU for 25 days and 20 days to the non-COVID ICU, where he was intubated, and a tracheostomy was performed. After 45 days of admission to the ICU, the patient's condition improved. Discussion: COVID-19 patients with ARDS should be immediately intubated when conditions such as dyspnea, RR>30x/min, SpO2<92% (for patients with no comorbidities) or <95% (for patients with comorbidities), unconsciousness, or shock appears. Furthermore, other conditions, such as an HR> of 120x/min and a ROX index of <3.851, should be considered an indication for intubation. Conclusion: Timely intubation improves the outcome of COVID-19 patients with ARDS.

Abstract

Introduction: Perioperative strategies to reduce postoperative pain are important for enhancing patient satisfaction. However, further research and trials has sparked ongoing debates of various strategies regarding efficacy and safety. Objective: This study aims to improve evidence-based strategies regarding the effect of paracervical anaesthetic blocks in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect for RCTs in laparoscopic hysterectomy patients administered paracervical blocks and those given placebos. The quantitative analysis of pooled relative risk and mean difference with a 95% confidence interval were performed using the Review Manager 5.4 software in the random-effects model or fixed-effects model forest plot. Results: Based on four RCTs included in the analysis, there were significant differences in overall postoperative pain scores assessed by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) [MD = -0.82, 95%CI (-1.47 to -1.06), p = 0.01]. The subgroup analysis also showed significant differences in VAS pain scores at 30 min and 1 hour post-operation [MD = -2.13, 95% CI (-3.09 to -1.16), p = 0.0001] and [MD = -2.55, 95% CI (-4.29 to -0.81), p = 0.004]. However, there were insignificant results in adequate pain control [RR = 7.90, 95%CI (0.39 to 158.67), p = 0.18], length of hospital stay [MD = 0.01, 95%CI (-0.52 to 0.54), p = 0.96], additional analgesics requirement at 24 hours [RR = 0.88, 95%CI (0.55 to 1.39), p=0.58], and perioperative complications [RR = 0.90, 95%CI (0.56 to 1.47), p = 0.68].Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides evidence that the administration of paracervical block in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with a reduction of postoperative VAS pain score but not associated with the length of hospital stay, adequate pain control, additional analgesics requirement at 24 hours, and perioperative complications.

Abstract

Introduction: ICU service quality must continuously improve to provide better patient service. One of these improvement efforts is the use of a risk prediction system to predict mortality rates in the ICU by utilizing risk factors. This system helps healthcare services perform evaluations and comparative audits of intensive services, which can also aid with more targeted planning. APACHE IV is considered to have good validity. However, its predictive capabilities may change over time due to various factors, such as the pandemic, where changes in the case mix may affect its predictive abilities. Therefore, this research tests the validity of APACHE IV on the Indonesian population through Dr. Sardjito Hospital patients. The findings can be utilized for future use and risk stratification, and ICU quality benchmarking. Objective: This study aims to assess the validity of the APACHE IV score in ICU Mortality prediction in Dr. Sardjito Hospital for medical patients, surgical patients, and patients with both cases during the pandemic. Methods: This study used retrospective data from 336 patients at Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta from the 1st of January 2020 to the 31st of December 2021. All data required for calculating the APACHE IV score was collected, and the patient's observed ICU Mortality was used. The model's predictive validity is measured by finding the discrimination and calibration of the APACHE IV score and comparing it to the observed ICU mortality. Validation was also conducted separately for medical and surgical cases. Results: APACHE IV shows good discrimination ability in all cases (AUC-ROC 95% CI: 0.819 [0.772-0.866]) but poor calibration (p = 0.023) for mortality prediction in the ICU. For medical cases, the discrimination ability is poor but still acceptable (AUC-ROC 95% CI: 0.698 [0.614-0.782]), and in surgical cases, the discrimination ability is good (AUC-ROC 95% CI: 0.848 [0.776-0.921]). Both cases showed good calibration (p: medical = 0.569, surgical = 0.579) in predicting mortality during the pandemic. Conclusion: APACHE IV showed good discrimination but poor calibration ability for predicting mortality for all ICU patients during the pandemic era. Mortality prediction for surgical cases showed good discrimination and calibration. However, medical cases showed poor discrimination but good calibration.

Abstract

Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a disease caused by abnormalities in the myocardium. This abnormality reduces the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body. Anesthetic drugs have a major cardiovascular effect under general and regional anesthesia. Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of prilocaine as a subarachnoid block regional anesthetic drug in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with comorbid heart failure. Case Report: A 59-year-old man came complained of a lump in his left upper groin that had been present since a day before his admission to the hospital. The lump could not be inserted. The patient felt pain in the lump area with a visual analog score (VAS) of 7-8. His blood pressure was 138/84 mmHg, pulse rate was 104 times per minute, respiration rate was 22 times per minute, temperature was 36oC for axillary measurement, oxygen saturation was 92% based on room oxygen, and VAS was 7-8. The abdominal examination revealed a lump in the patient's left upper groin that could not be reinserted, hyperemic, and painful when pressed. With an EF Teich of 17.1%, the echocardiographic examination revealed that the dimensions of the patient's heart chambers (RV and LV dilatation) and LV systolic function had decreased. Conclusion: Stable hemodynamics in non-cardiac surgery with a relatively short duration is the main choice for HF patients. Spinal anesthesia with a regimen of 2% prilocaine at a dose of 80 mg plus 0.1 mg morphine resulted in stable hemodynamics and low pain scores in patients with comorbid congestive heart failure undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Abstract

Introduction: Cluster headache is one of the neurovascular headaches characterized by severe recurrent unilateral pain distributed around the orbit and accompanied by autonomic symptoms such as lacrimation, conjunctival injection nasal congestion or rhinorrhea, edema of the eyelid, sweating, and miosis. The attack usually lasts for 15 to 180 minutes. The possible mechanism of cluster headache is through the trigeminal-autonomic reflex. Management of the cluster headache is divided into pharmacological therapy including abortive and prophylaxis, as well as interventional pain management like deep brain stimulation, occipital nerve stimulation, and radiofrequency of the sphenopalatine ganglion. Objective: This report aims to demonstrate the effectivity of pulsed radiofrequency sphenopalatine ganglion on cluster headaches secondary to meningioma. Case Report: A 47-year-old female consulted the pain clinic with a chief complaint of profound facial pain for a year. The patient also reported autonomic symptoms such as rhinorrhea and lacrimation. The patient was diagnosed with meningioma and already treated with conventional therapy such as gabapentine, carbamazepine, omeprazole, and mecobalamin. Due to the location of meningioma which causes the tumor inoperable. The patient complained of constant and worsening pain, therefore pulsed radiofrequency on sphenopalatine ganglion was chosen to treat the patient. The patient reported relief of pain ever since. Discussion: Among the consequences and benefits, pulsed radiofrequency is the choice of interventional pain management. Possibly the pain from the compression of the greater palatine nerve, intervention on the sphenopalatine will cause relief of the pain. Pulsed radiofrequency on sphenopalatine ganglion was reported successful in alleviating the pain of the patient. Conclusion: Pulsed radiofrequency of the sphenopalatine ganglion successfully alleviates the pain of the cluster headache due to meningioma. However, further study with a bigger population is recommended to see the efficacy of interventional pain management objectively.

Abstract

Introduction: A mutation in fibrillin-1 (FBN1) leads to the autosomal dominant condition known as Marfan Syndrome (MFS). The condition of pregnancy with MFS may increase morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and delivery. Due to a greater frequency of maternal problems and fetal involvement, pregnancy with Marfan syndrome (MFS) provides challenges to healthcare professionals and patients and requires special treatment. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the perioperative management of Marfan syndrome in pregnancy and congestive heart failure (CHF). Case report: A 27-year-old primigravida with 38-39 weeks gestation presented with a referral letter with a diagnosis of G1P0A0 with scoliosis and peripartum cardiomyopathy. The patient complained of shortness of breath accompanied by cold sweat since the second trimester of gestation. Physical examination revealed the presence of arachnodactyly and spine deformity. The patient underwent an emergency cesarean section with general anesthesia. Breathing problem appeared the next day after cesarean section, the patient was intubated in the ICU. Chest X-ray depicted bilateral pulmonary edema. A mechanical ventilator was set up and fluid restriction had been done. The patient was extubated after showing breathing improvement in the second week in the ICU. The diagnosis of MFS in this patient was defined based on the revised Ghent Nosology. MFS with spine deformity causes breathing problems because of the altered geometry of the thoracic cavity. MFS in pregnancy may worsen the breathing problem due to autotransfusion that leads to pulmonary edema. A mechanical ventilator with a specific setting accompanied by fluid restriction is recommended to reduce the fluid overload in the lungs. Conclusion: Mechanical ventilators with specific settings and fluid restriction are effective perioperative management to reduce pulmonary edema on MFS in pregnancy and congestive heart failure.

Abstract

Introduction: Team-based patient management in critical care demands a knowledgeable, skillful, and responsive doctor who collaborates well on teams. Medical education is responsible for producing competent graduates who meet the above requirements. However, the current medical curriculum in Indonesia tends to focus only on individual knowledge and appraisal. There was no standardized university-based group emergency training and examination with comprehensive emergency topics beyond cardiac and trauma cases. Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a team-based emergency training program that enhances medical students' preparedness and teamwork skills in dealing with future emergencies in the workplace. Methods: We developed Acute Life Threatening Events Management (ALTEM), a three-day emergency training program consisting of pre-test, lectures, guided skill practice, group (case-based) simulation exam, and post-test. Group simulation occurred in a virtual hospital with high-fidelity mannequins, actual medical equipment (i.e., beds, monitors, drugs, tools, pads), two-way mirror rooms, and simulated patient family to resemble real hospital situations. The program was then evaluated by a modified Kirkpatrick evaluation model, which measures individual perception, satisfaction, understanding, and performance related to the program. Results: A total of 114 participants were involved in this study. Most subjects (>80%) had a good experience with the program. ALTEM training program significantly increased communication and teamwork (p <0.001) and decision-making towards critical patients (p <0.001) in the univariate analysis. Communication and teamwork remained related considerably in the multivariate analysis (aOR 7.866; p = 0.005). Conclusion: The ALTEM simulation program obtained a good response from the subjects and was a prospective program to improve medical students' competence and teamwork skills in emergencies.

Abstract

Introduction: Several scoring systems were developed for early risk stratification in Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding (UGIB) patients. AIMS65 score is a scoring system that only consists of five parameters, it might be used in daily clinical practice because of rapid and easy to calculate within 12 hours of admission. Objective: To evaluate the AIMS65 scoring system as a predictor of mortality, rebleeding events, need for endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion, and ICU admission for all causes of UGIB. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library databases from the 2012 to 2022 publication period. We included either prospective or retrospective cohort studies that reported UGIB with all kinds of aetiologies who presented in the emergency department (ED), reported discriminative performance for each outcome, and reported the optimal cut-off of AIMS65. The primary measurement of discriminative performance for clinical outcomes includes mortality, rebleeding incidents, need for endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion, and ICU admission. Results: We identified 351 published studies, of which 20 were included in this study. Most of the studies reported discriminative performance for predicting mortality, which amounts to about 18 out of 20 studies. Rebleeding prediction was reported in 11 studies, need for endoscopic therapy in 5 studies, blood transfusion in 7 studies, and ICU admission in 2 studies. Most of the studies reported fair to excellent discriminative performance for predicting mortality, but in contrast for predicting rebleeding, the need for endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion, and ICU admission. Cut-off values≥ 2 are frequently reported to distinguish between high-risk and low-risk patients in mortality. Conclusion: AIMS65 can be applied to patients with UGIB in ED for predicting mortality, but not applicable for predicting rebleeding events, the need for endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion, and ICU admission. It enhances early decision-making and triage for UGIB patients.
