Abstract

Objective: The occurence of discharge against medical advice (DAMA) has impacted globally. Decisions of DAMA in pediatric patients are not made by the patients, but pose life-threatening consequences, especially for children treated in Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The present study aimed to identify the occurence of DAMA and subsequent events to the DAMA patients after treated in PICU of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia.Methods: A retrospective study from medical records of DAMA patients from PICU of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, between April 2011 and April 2012. Results: A total of 195 children aged 1–5 years were admitted. Of this number, 12 (6.2%) were DAMA. Financial problems were the most common reason for DAMA, followed by parents’ perception about their child’s terminal condition. The majority of parents were laborer. Last parents’ education level was mostly elementary school. Most patients who DAMA from PICU died in less than 24 hours.Conclusions: A considerable number of DAMA was found in our PICU. High mortality occured after patients asked for DAMA from PICU.Keywords: Discharge against medical advice (DAMA), pediatric, pediatrics intensive care unit (PICU) DOI: 10.15850/ijihs.v3n1.400

Abstract

Objective: To examine the prediction formula used to measure handgrip strength using aneroid sphygmomanometer in elderly.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study performed at the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran-Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from March to April 2015. Thirty five elderly subjects aged 60–74 years were included in the study. The subject handgrip strength was measured using an aneroid sphygmomanometer and a Jamar dynamometer. Results: All data were analyzed statistically using Pearson correlation test to examine the distributed data and Spearman test to examine the non distributed data. A significant correlation was found between hand width, age, and sex and the handgrip strength values using Jamar dynamometer (p<0.01) using multiple linear regression (p<0.01). A normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk test resulted normal residue with p value 0.000. The results showed that the regression analysis could be used to predict the handgrip strength using aneroid sphygmomanometer.Conclusions: Aneroid sphygmomanometer can be used to predict handgrip strength in elderly using conversion formula.

Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of using da Vinci robotic surgical system to perform spinal surgery.Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a 29-year-old female patient complaining right pelvic pain for 1 month revealed a 17x8x10 cm non-homogeneous dumbbell shape encapsulated mass with cystic change located in the pelvic cavity and caused an anterior displacement of urinary bladder and colon.Results: There was no systemic complication and pain decrease 24 hours after surgery and  during 2 years of follow up. The patient started a diet 6 hours after the surgery and was discharged 72 hours after the surgery. The pathological diagnosis of the tumor was schwannoma. Conclusions: Giant dumbbell shape presacral schwannomas are rare tumours and their surgical treatment is challenging because of the complex anatomy of the presacral. Clinical application of da Vinci robotic surgical system in the spinal surgical field is currently confined to the treatment of some specific diseases or procedures. However, robotic surgery is expected to play a practical future role as it is minimally invasive. The advent of robotic technology will prove to be a boon to the neurosurgeon.Keywords: da Vinci robotic surgical system, presacral, schwannoma DOI: 10.15850/ijihs.v3n1.407
