“…Mortality among these patients remains high, ranging from 22 to 67%, especially with the presence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) (Belda et al, 2005;Sogaard et al, 2013). Postoperative pneumonia is especially severe after thoracic surgery and is associated with high mortality, * making it a life-threatening complication of lung resection (Gupta et al, 2013).…”

Background: To investigate the related risk factors of postoperative nosocomial pneumonia (POP) in patients withⅠ-Ⅲa lung cancer. Methods: Medical records of 511 patients who underwent resection for lung cancer between January 2012 to December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Risk factors of postoperative pneumonia were identified and evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The incidence of postoperative pneumonia in these lung cancer patients was 2.9% (15 cases). Compared with 496 patients who had no pneumonia infection after operation, older age (>60), histopathological type of squamous cell carcinoma and longer surgery time (>3h) were significant risk factors by univariate analysis. Other potential risk factors such as alcohol consumption, history of smoking, hypersensitivity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and so on were not showed such significance in this study. Further, the multivariate analysis revealed that old age (>60 years) (OR 5.813, p=0.018) and histopathological type of squamous cell carcinoma (OR 5.831, p<0.001) were also statistically significant independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that being old aged (>60 years) and having squamous cell carcinoma histopathological type might be important factors in determining the risk of postoperative pneumonia in lung cancer patients after surgery.

“…The existence of preoperative sepsis or SIRS is also a criterion for the mortality and morbidity risk for abdominal surgery, and it is also an important risk factor in patients with gallbladder perforation (10). While the surgery and anesthesia-related complications increase in patients with preoperative sepsis or SIRS, the need for postoperative broad-spectrum antibiotic use and postoperative complications such as organ failure, shock, and even mortality can also occur due to the delay in diagnosis.…”

Gallbladder perforation is one of the rarely feared complications of acute cholecystitis. It is usually not seen very often, but it is seen in 10% (2-20). Despite radiological progresses, morbidity and mortality are high due to late diagnosis. The time of diagnosis and the general condition of the patient during diagnosis are very likely to affect mortality, so you have to be careful in these cases. Because it is a rare complication, it is not the first diagnosis that comes to mind in the preliminary diagnoses in the case of acute abdomen in cases of emergency. In this article we will present a series of complicated cases from the emergency department with gallbladder perforation. We would like to emphasize that gallbladder perforation with this case series presentation should be one of the diagnoses that should be kept in mind in emergency patients.
