Abstract

Introduction: The act of intubating with an endotracheal tube is a definitive airway management technique that provides maximal protection against the occurrence of aspiration of stomach contents or fluids. Some studies recommend the use of a head pillow to improve the laryngoscopic view by enhancing the occipito-atlanto-axial angle and enlarging the submandibular space. The aim of this study was to find out comparison of the level of difficulty of intubation in intubation techniques with and without the use of pillows. Methods: The design of this study was a randomized cross-sectional study with two research groups conducted to compare the difficulty levels of intubation using the technique with and without a pillow. Results: Patients without a pillow often required a little assistance during intubation, while the majority of patients using a pillow were easily intubated. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups (p>0.05). Patients intubated without a pillow had an average score of 15.9±1.6, while those intubated with a pillow had an average score of 10.8±1.8, showing a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). Using the Cormack-Lehane score, most patients without a pillow were at grade 2, while the majority of patients with a pillow were at grade 1. A significant difference was found between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Patients intubated without a pillow often required a little assistance, while the majority of patients intubated with a pillow were easily intubated; however, no significant difference was found between the two groups (p>0.05).

Abstract

Introduction: Leukaemia is a blood cell malignancy that manifests as young cells in the peripheral blood. In developing countries, ALL account for 80% of leukemia cases. Despite the implementation of contemporary intensive therapy, remission is attained in 98% of patients. LDH have found to have benefit in diagnosing and may be prognostic factor especially in predicting remission in ALL. Methods: This observational cohort study took place at the pediatric ward of RSUP H. Adam Malik – Medan, from August 2022 to February 2023. Subjects meeting the study criteria were assessed to know the relationship between LDH between the initial phase and remission phase of ALL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was then conducted for the combined scores. Results: We found significant differences in LDH and blast levels between the initial phase and remission phase of ALL (p<0,001).  However, the multivariate logistic regression analysis yielded statistically non-significant results (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, we found a significant differences of LDH and blast between the initial phase and remission phase of ALL. LDH and blast may be a promosing prognostic factor to assess ALL.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is associated with acute exacerbations that can lead to respiratory failure and as major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The Aim of study was to explore survival rate of COPD patients with type II respiratory failure Methods: Observational research with retrospective cohort design using data from medical records of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with type II respiratory failure treated at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan for 10 months from November 2021 to September 2022. Analyzed of independent and dependent variables used Chi Square test. To obtain most dominant independent variable that influence dependent variable, a multiple logistic regression test is used. Results: There were 21 patients (50%) who alived until end of research but also 21 deaths occured. Survival rate was 50% with a median survival time 14 days (CI 95%: 7.178-20.822 days). Survival rate of COPD patients with type II respiratory failure who do not routinely received therapy was 16.7% with a median survival time 4 days (CI 95%: 42.962-5.039). Survival rate of COPD patients with type II respiratory failure who routinely received therapy was 75%. Based on log rank test, there was a significant difference median length of life between patients who did not and who routinely received therapy (p <0.001). Conclusion: The survival rate in COPD patients who regularly use inhaler therapy is significantly higher than patients who do not routinely use inhaler therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: DCM is characterised by myocardial structural and functional abnormalities not caused by ischemia. One cause is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can lead to a hyperdynamic circulatory state, increasing cardiac output and metabolic demands, which can ultimately result in heart failure. Case: A 35-year-old woman presented with complaints of acute shortness of breath that worsened at night, accompanied by bilateral lower limb oedema and palpitations. Her medical history revealed hyperthyroidism diagnosed in 2021, but the patient was not compliant with treatment. Physical examination showed low blood pressure (84/60 mmHg), tachycardia 110 Beats Per Minute (BPM), and elevated Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP). Auscultation detected fine bilateral crackles and mitral regurgitation. Bilateral lower limb oedema. Echocardiography showed global hypokinesia with an Ejection Fraction (EF) of 30%, consistent with DCM. Laboratory tests revealed hyponatremia, elevated creatinine, and significantly increased liver enzymes. Initial management included intravenous saline infusion, continuous dobutamine infusion, and high-dose furosemide drip, which did not respond to furosemide. Acetazolamide was introduced as an additional diuretic. The patient also received ramipril, spironolactone, and enoxaparin for comprehensive cardiovascular and electrolyte imbalance management. This case highlights the importance of recognising the multifactorial nature of heart failure, particularly in patients with hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: This case illustrates the complexity of treating DCM with hyperthyroidism and the need for individualized therapy to optimize patient outcomes. The addition of acetazolamide proved effective in addressing the inadequate response to furosemide, emphasizing its role in enhancing diuretic response.

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing trend of e-cigarettes user is often found in productive young people, especially those who are undergoing education. The use of electric cigarettes can cause respiratory complaints such as coughing, coughing up phlegm and shortness of breath. To identify the subject characteristic and to examine association between e-cigarette using period with respiratory symptoms in e-cigarrette male user who are undergoing education in Senior High School and Medical Education in Medan Methods: This study took samples of research subjects using two groups, where each group numbered 15 people, these groups were entered according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with the pearson correlation test using the ATSQ instrument to assess respiratory symptoms. Results: The age range of 21-25 years is the most users of e-cigarettes (43.4%), the most education is in the form of professional general practitioner education in this study (43.3%). Respiratory complaints that were often felt by subjects were coughing in the morning which occurred most often 1-2 times a week and shortness of breath during exercise which appeared less than once per week. The pearson test shows r count > r table (0.883 > 0.641) and is positive. Conclusion: There is an association between e-cigarette using period with respiratory symptoms, where the longer you use, the more severe the respiratory symptoms will be.
