2025-03-03T22:53:55+08:00

Abstract: Potassium is an intracellular cation in the body that controls the function of nerve and muscle cells, especially heart muscle, maintains water balance in the body, and regulates blood pressure. Potassium also reduce tension in blood vessel walls, which in turn lowers blood pressure. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between potassium level and blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This was an observational and analytical study with a cross sectional design using medical records of 154 hypertensive patients at ODSK Regional Hospital, North Sulawesi Province from April 2022 – September 2023. The results showed that 55-64 years (31.2%) was the most dominant age group. There were more female patients (52.6%) than male patients (47.4%). The majority of patients suffered from hypertension grade 2 (60.4%), and had normal potassium level (55.8%). The Spearman correlation test showed a positive significant correlation between potassium evel and systolic blood pressure (p=0.035; r=0.170), but not with diastolic blood pressure (p=0.099). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between potassium level and systolic blood pressure, but not with diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Cardiac Stab Wound in Remote Area: A Case Report

2025-03-15T13:21:26+08:00

Abstract: Penetrating cardiac injuries are life-threatening emergencies requiring immediate surgical intervention. We presented a case of cardiac stab wound leading to cardiac tamponade and rupture of the pulmonary artery and right ventricle who survived long enough to undergo emergency procedure. A 25-year-old male was stabbed in the left chest approximately nine hours before admission. He experienced chest pain and dyspnea but remained conscious. After initially treated at a local hospital, he was later referred to a tertiary facility. On assessment, he was tachycardic, tachypneic, and had distant heart sounds. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, and anemia. Chest radiograph showed a bottle-shaped heart, passive atelectasis, and a rightward shift of the thoracic vertebrae. The initial suspicion was cardiac tamponade due to myocardial rupture. Sternotomy revealed a pericardial hematoma (150 mL), a right ventricular tear extending to the pulmonary artery, and pneumothorax. Surgical repair was performed with drainage placement. After intervention, echocardiograph examination showed no myocardial damage or infarction, a dysfunction in diastolic which showed an impaired in relaxation of the left ventricle which is a temporary consequence of trauma, pericardial effusion or surgical intervention. In conclusion, this case underscores necessity of early surgical intervention even if this patient succeeded surviving for long hours before surgery. While this patient showed promising recovery, close postoperative monitoring remains crucial to detect functional changes and prevent complications.

Right Ventricular Septal Pacing to Produce Narrow QRS Duration in Patient with High Degree 2:1 AV Block

2024-06-26T10:33:22+08:00

Prolonged right ventricular (RV) apical pacing has been recognized to be associated with progressive left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This impairment of LV function resultant from RV apical pacing is a remodelling process consequent to abnormal ventricular activation and contraction. RV septal pacing theoretically is associated with a more physiological ventricular activation results in shorter electrical activation delay and consequently less mechanical dyssynchrony. We reported A-75-year-old woman presented to emergency department (ED) with dyspnea only on exertion in the last 3 weeks before admission, she also complaint near syncope episode while doing activities. Electrocardiogram (ECG) result was high degree AV block with 2:1 conduction with ventricular rate 40 beats per minute. PPM implantation was performed with VVIR mode, ventricle lead inserted into mid-septal RV. ECG post implantation showed pacing rhythm with narrow QRS duration. Pacemaker-related LBBB is associated with an adverse prognosis. RV septal pacing produces more synchronous contraction denoted by narrow QRS, preventing the deterioration of LV structure and function. RV septal pacing, although not as good as intrinsic conduction or His bundle pacing, may be more desirable for chronic RV pacing compared to the RV apex as a narrow QRS is associated with improved LV dynamics. RV septal pacing was safely done in this patient, but further study needed to evaluate its long-term effect.

Profil Penggunaan Antibiotik pada Pasien Sepsis dan Syok Septik di Ruang Perawatan Intensif Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado

2025-03-03T23:29:42+08:00

Abstract: Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are common causes of sepsis and septic shock, therefore, treatment often uses broad spectrum antibiotics. This study aimed to determine the types of antibiotics used, the suitability of antibiotics with etiology, and the average length of antibiotic use in sepsis and septic shock patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from July 2022 to June 2023. This was a descriptive and retrospective study using patients’ medical records. The results showed that the use of antibiotics in sepsis and septic shock included monotherapy and combination therapy. The most common antibiotics for monotherapy was levofloxacine (14.3%) in sepsis, and meropenem (8.7%) in septic shock. The most common combination for sepsis was meropenem-levofloxacine (6.7%) and meropenem-metronidazole (6.7%), meanwhile for septic shock was meropenem-levofloxacine (16.5%). Of the 91 sepsis patients, only 15 had the causative germs; 10 (9.62%) antibiotics did not match the etiology, eight (7.84%) did. In septic shock, of 91 patients, five patients had the causative germs; four (4.44%) antibiotics were according to etiology, three (3.37%) were not appropriate. The average use of antibiotics was one day, with an average value of 3.06 for sepsis and 2.24 for septic shock. In conclusion, in patients with sepsis and septic shock, the monotherapy is levofloxacine and meropenem, while the combination therapies are meropenem-levofloxacine and meropenem-metronidazole. Antibiotics appropriate to the etiology in sepsis and septic shock sepsis have nearly the same number with those inappropriate to etiology. The average duration of antibiotic use for both sepsis and septic shock is one day.

Ovarian Cyst Torsion: A Case Report

2025-03-31T14:40:57+08:00

Abstract: Accidents involving ovarian cysts might include cyst rupture, hemorrhage, and torsion. Any girl who has abdominal pain or a pelvic or abdominal mass should be evaluated for ovarian torsion, a rare issue in the juvenile age group. We reported a 10-year-old girl presented with complaints of lower left abdominal pain that began three days prior to her hospital admission. Initially, the pain was intermittent but subsequently became persistent and intensified, with no pain-free intervals. CT-Scan of the abdomen – pelvis without contrast revealed cystic mass with fat components and intralesional calcification, in the suprapubic quadrant. The impression came from the ovary (difficult to determine the right/left ovary), which urged the bladder to the anteroinferior and urged the uterus to the posterior, suspected of mature cystic ovarian teratoma. The patient was managed with intravenous fluids (IVFD), antibiotics, and analgesics for pain control. Due to the high suspicion of ovarian torsion, emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed. Anatomical differences in the paediatric population and their effects on surgery were also be considered. Intraoperative findings confirming a left ovarian cyst measuring approximately 8 x 6 x 4 cm, which had undergone torsion twice. Detorsion was performed, and the ovary was found to be viable. Cystectomy was carried out, preserving healthy ovarian tissue. The right ovary appeared normal. In conclusion, this case underscores the importance of timely surgical intervention, even beyond the traditional "golden period" of 6–12 hours, as collateral blood supply may help maintain ovarian viability. The shift from oophorectomy to ovarian preservation in the management of ovarian torsion reflects evolving clinical practices, emphasizing better reproductive and long-term health outcomes. Early recognition, prompt imaging, and surgical intervention are crucial to preserving ovarian function and improving patient prognosis. This case also highlights the need for increased awareness of ovarian torsion in pediatric and adolescent populations, given its rarity and diagnostic complexity.

Delayed Staged Hepatectomy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Single Case Report

2025-01-05T19:53:04+08:00

Abstract: Liver metastases are common in patients with colorectal cancer; almost 70% will develop liver metastases during the course. The recommended treatment for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is multidisciplinary, including liver resection and chemotherapy. We reported a 52-year-old female with stage 3B distal third rectal adenocarcinoma which eight months earlier underwent Mile’s procedure plus total mesorectal excision (TME) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (50gy). During surveillance, liver metastases was found at segments 4B-5. A delayed anatomical staged hepatectomy segments 4B-5 was performed. Intraoperative USG findings suggested liver metastases at segments 7, 8, and 3, and non-anatomical liver resection was performed in accordance with parenchymal liver sparing principles. No post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) was detected, but billoma occured at 1-month post hepatectomy. USG guided percutaneous drainage was performed to resolve the billoma. Colorectal metastasis (CRLM) was detected at six months post-hepatectomy, and the patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with improvement in survival rate. In conclusion, delayed staged hepatectomy for CRLM is a safe and beneficial procedure, though there is still no guideline regarding the sequence of resection.

Hubungan Tipe Fistula, Waktu Operasi, dan Toilet Training pada Malformasi Anorektal dengan Pola Defekasi Pascaoperasi Berdasarkan Skor Rintala

2025-04-04T10:31:26+08:00

Abstract: Anorectal malformation is a congenital abnormality in which the anus does not open normally into the perineum. In several studies, earlier surgery time has a better impact on patients. Toilet training performed postoperatively is assumed to help improve patient defecation patterns. This study is an observational analytical study with a retrospective cohort design. The population in this study were pediatric patients after surgery for Anorectal Malformation based on the Wingspread classification at Prof. R.D. Kandou General Hospital, Manado. The independent variables were fistula type, surgery time, and toilet training. In this study, the dependent variable was postoperative defecation pattern based on the Rintala Score. Bivariate analysis was used to analyze the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The Somers' D test was used to measure the relationship between categorical variables. The results showed that the variables namely fistula type, surgery time, and toilet training in anorectal malformation did not have statistically significant relationships with postoperative defecation pattern based on the Rintala score (p-value >0.05). The Rintala score does not always describe the anatomical or functional conditions of the anus in detail. In conclusion, there is no significant relationship between fistula type, surgery time, and toilet training in anorectal malformation with postoperative defecation pattern based on the Rintala score.
