    Abstract Background: Intraoperative care and anesthesia method in patients undergoing allograft renal transplantation surgery are very necessary. Acid-base imbalance can alter neuromuscular blockade and recovery time.
    Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of acid-base balance on atracurium blockade in renal transplantation.
    Methods: In this randomized-controlled trial, 31 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing renal transplantation were randomly assigned into two equal groups. The case group received intravenous sodium bicarbonate based on base excess in the first ABG sample, while the control group received sterile water for injection during the interval between anesthesia and beginning of surgery. Arterial blood gas (ABG) sample was drawn first prior to surgery and again at declamping time. Train-of-four (TOF) was measured before anesthesia and repeatedly after declamping time until acceptable recovery (TOF 3 of 4). The time of achieving TOF 3 was recorded and compared between the groups.
    Results: There was no significant difference in blood pH between the groups in the first evaluation (P = 0.649). The pH and base excess (BE) in the case group significantly increased after the intervention. There was a significant decrease in after-surgery measurement of pH in the control group (P = 0.011). The mean time to achieve TOF = 3 was 23.75 ± 5.32 and 41.80 ± 5.2 minutes after declamping in the case and control groups, respectively. Patients in the sodium bicarbonate group achieved TOF = 3 significantly faster than the control group.
    Conclusions: Based on our results, intraoperative alkali and acid-base imbalance treatment can reduce neuromuscular blockade and recovery time, and it can be regarded as a potential casual factor to enhance transplantation outcome.

    Abstract Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a helminthic infection caused by larvae of tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. While the cysts can involve all organs, liver is the most common site of infection and the lungs are the second most commonly involved organ in young adults. In addition to endemic areas its incidence is growing all around the world due to the ease of transcontinental travel. Disease presentation varies and usually is due to mass effect or dysfunction of the involved organ and surgical resection is the recommended treatment. Here we present the case of a young man with primary pulmonary echinococcosis with involvement of the entire right lung.

    Abstract Background: The aim of present study was to determine the impact of two different ICU management model, open and semi closed, on resources utilization in intensive care unit.
    Method: Retrospective cohort analysis using data from hospital database was applied to compare the effect of ICU management model on ICU length of stay and bed disposition of 1064 patients admitted to the general ICU of Imam Khomeini Hospital of Tehran, Iran during the two consecutive 12-month periods from Mar, 2009 to Feb, 2010.
    Results: In open and semi closed interval 380 and 684 patients were admitted to ICU respectively. There was no significant difference in age, gender and severity of illness (based on APACHE-II score) and nurse to bed ratio between two groups. Average ICU length of stay, net mortality rate and bed turnover rate were lower in semi closed model than open model management significantly (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Semi closed model improves patient care and lead to lower mortality rate and resources utilization too.

    Abstract Background: Tracheal stenosis is one of the worst complications associated with endotracheal intubation and it is the most common reason for reconstructive airway surgeries. Due to various local risk factors, the incidence rate of tracheal stenosis may vary in different countries. In order to estimate the incidence rate of post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), a follow-up study was planned. As there was no similar methodological model in the literature, a feasibility step was also designed to examine the whole project and to enhance the follow-up rate.
    Objectives: To estimate the PITS incidence rate in patients admitted to ICUs, as well as to evaluate the feasibility of the study.
    Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in five hospitals in two provinces (Tehran and Arak) of Iran from November 2011 to March 2013. All patients admitted to ICUs who underwent more than 24 hours of endotracheal intubation were included. Upon their discharge from the ICUs, the patients received oral and written educational materials intended to ensure a more successful follow-up. The patients were asked to come back for follow-up three months after their extubation, or sooner in case of any symptoms developing. Those with dyspnea or stridor underwent a bronchoscopy. The asymptomatic patients were given a spirometry and then they underwent a bronchoscopy if the flow-volume loop suggested airway stenosis.
    Results: Some seventy-three patients (70% men) were included in the study. Multiple trauma secondary to motor vehicle accidents (52%) was the most common cause of intubation. Follow-ups were completed in only 14 (19.2%, CI = 0.109 - 0.300) patients. One patient (7%, CI = 0.007 - 0.288) developed symptomatic tracheal stenosis that was confirmed by bronchoscopy. The barriers to a successful follow-up were assessed on three levels: ineffective oral education upon discharge, improper usage of educational materials, and difficulties to attending follow-up visits. There were also some important obstacles in terms of human, time, material, and cost resources, as well as data management.
    Conclusions: To enhance the follow-up rate, three strategies were proposed: patient-focused strategies such as emphasizing patient education upon discharge and providing rewards; structural-focused strategies such as scheduling home visits and uploading questionnaires onto the research center's website; and provider-focused strategies such as selecting coordinators with good communication skills. All necessary resources should also be re-arranged for a multicenter national study.

    Abstract Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This complication causes an increase in morbidity and mortality after CABG and also increases the length of ICU stay and hospitalization. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prophylactic effect of amiodarone in reducing the incidence of post CABG atrial fibrillation. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 204 patients, candidate for elective CABG, entered the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and randomly divided into two equal groups. The case group received 300 mg of intravenous amiodarone before anesthesia induction and the control group received normal saline. Incidence of AF was recorded until 24 hours after CABG. Results: The incidence of post CABG AF was 16 patients in the case group and 35 patients in the control group. Comparison of the frequency of AF between groups by Chi square analyses showed a significant difference (p=0.037) and the incidence of AF was significantly lower in the amiodarone group. Conclusion: In total, amiodarone could significantly prevent the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery. In this study, patients took this medication only in the first 24 hours, while in some studies, this drug has been prescribed for even 14 days.

    Abstract Respiratory failure is a serious complication of H1N1 influenza that, if not properly managed, can cause death. When mechanical ventilation is not effective, the only way to save the patient's life is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A prolonged type of cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO is a high-cost management modality compared to other conventional types and its maintenance requires skilled personnel. Such staff usually comprises the members of open-heart surgical teams. Herein, we describe a patient with H1N1 influenza and severe respiratory failure not improved by mechanical ventilation who was admitted to Masih Daneshvari Medical Center in March 2015. She was placed on ECMO, from which she was successfully weaned 9 days later. The patient was discharged from the hospital after 52 days. Follow-up till 11 months after discharge revealed completely active life with no problem. There should be a close collaboration among infectious disease specialists, cardiac anesthetists, cardiac surgeons, and intensivists for the correct timing of ECMO placement, subsequent weaning, and care of the patient. This team work was the key to our success story. This is the first patient to survive H1N1 with the use of ECMO in Iran.
