Inadvertent endobronchial intubation occurred twice during laparoscopic surgery, with two different causes. Radiography was the only means of definitive diagnosis.
Nineteen consecutive cases of subphrenic abscess which were treated in the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, from 1962 to 1972 are analyzed. This complication of intra-abdominal suppuration of surgery still carries a grave prognosis. Four of the patients died (21 per cent); 2 deaths were related to the subphrenic abscess while the remaining 2 were not directly related to the abscess. The mean hospital stay of the survivors was 59 days (range 30-122 days). The changing patterns of aetiology and presentation which have recently been emphasized in general surgical practice are not reflected in this paediatric series.
Non-selective single amniocentesis may be performed if the gestational age is greater than 35.9 weeks. Double amniocentesis should be performed in the following: twins of 30-32.9 gestational weeks and twins of 33-35.9 weeks unless the twin pair is gender-concordant, or calculated fetal weight discordance is less than 10% or greater than 20%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
