ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among negative emotion, emotion suppression, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in Hospital Nurses. METHODS: The participants were 155 registered nurses working in 1 hospital in Seoul. Data were obtained by self-report questionnaires. Data were collected from October 1 through October 9, 2010. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: The influencing factors for organizational commitment of hospital nurses were job satisfaction, position, total clinical career, and negative emotion. These variables explained 56.6% of the variance of the organizational commitment. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that improving job satisfaction is the best way to enhance nurses' organizational commitment and thus, a need to improve the job satisfaction of hospital nurses.

Patients with complete tracheal transection present a considerable challenge to the anesthesiologist. A 38 year-old woman with complete tracheal transection above the aortic arch level due to blunt trauma was taken to the operating room for an attempt at tracheal repair. Anesthetic management was focused on the maintenance of the airway and adequate ventilation. Primary repair of the trachea was carried out under ventilation support via percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system. Until the disrupted trachea was exposed on the surgical field, ventilation was performed using a laryngeal mask. We discuss the anesthetic management strategies and the alternative mode of ventilation.

Cannulation of a large central vein is the standard clinical method for mornitoring CVP and is also performed for a number of additional therapeutic interventions, such as providing secure vascular access for administration of vasoactive drugs or to initiate rapid fluid resuscitation in operation or for aspiration of air emboli. But there are many complications such as vessel injury, pneumothorax, nerve injury, arrhythmias, arteriovenus thrombus, pulmonary emboli, infection at insertion site, because there are major vessels, nerve and organs around of central veins. We report a case of Rt. Hydrothorax after internal jugular vein cannulation and a contralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema and pleural effusion after Rt. chest tube insertion for hydrothorax.

Shy-Drager syndrome (SDS) is a chronic progressive disease with central autonomic nervous system defect, Parkinsonism, and cerebellar defect. The clinical maifestations of this syndrome are orthostatic hypotension, urinary and bowel dysfunction, impaired sexual potency, impaired libido, decreased sweating, ataxia, dysarthria, intension tremor, and vocal cord palsy. Anesthesiologists should consider SDS as having major implications during surgery when choosing the anesthetic technique, monitoring, and postoperative care because it causes loss of autonomic regulation of vascular tone. We report a successful spinal anesthesia for left salphingo-oophorectomy in a female patient with Shy-Drager syndrome.

Total intravenous anesthesia(TIVA) is a anesthetic technique where hypnosis, analgesia and muscle relaxation are provided solely by intravenously administered drug without the use of anesthetic vapors or gases including nitrous oxide. For TIVA, midazolam and propofol have been used as hypnotics because of their relatively short elimination half life. Hemodynamic function during induction of anesthesia, the fentanyl and naloxone requirements, and speed of recovery from TIVA with midazolam/fentanyl(group M, n=20) or prapofol/fentanyl (group P, n=20) were compaired in patients undergoing surgery. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive either 0.2 mg/kg midazolam in 5 min followed by 0.4 mg/kg/hr for 20 min, 0.3 mg/kg/hr for next 20 min, 0.05~0.2 mg/kg/hr until 10~15 min before skin closure, or 2 mg/kg propofol in 5 min followed by 9 mg/kg/hr for 30 min and 4.5 mg/kg/hr until 10~15 min before skin closure. Simultaneously, a variable rate infusion of fentanyl was given. Patients were intubated with an aid of vecuronium and ventilated with 40% oxygen in air. In both groups, mean arterial pressure decreased significantly(P0.05). The total dose, duration and rate of infusion of fentanyl was similar in both groups. 16 patients in group M and 9 patients in gmup P needed naloxone for recovery of respiration and 10 patients in group M needed flumazenil for recovery of consciousness. Recovery as judged by scoring system(sedation score, comprehension score, orientation score) was shorter in group P than group M. Among side effects, resedation was more frequent in group M(9 pts) than P group(0 pt). In conclusion, both midazolam and propofol were useful hypnotics for TIVA. But, group M showed more stable hemodynamics than group P during induction period and P group showed earlier recovery than group M. We concluded that the selection of hypnotics between midazolam and propofol for TIVA depends on situation such as better hemodynamics during induction period or earlier recovery.
