Treatable Condition

Infective spondylodiscitis (ISD) is an uncommon, devastating but potentially preventable and treatable condition specially in patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) through central venous (CV) catheters. Here, we present an elderly diabetic patient who was on HD through CV line placed in right femoral vein, who came because of pyrexia and neck pain. Diagnostic workup was in favour of ISD and excluded tuberculosis or malignancy. He responded well to anti-staphylococcal antibiotics.Birdem Med J 2014; 4(2): 108-110

Abstract Native vascular access (AVF arteriovenous fistula) for chronic hemodialysis (CH) performed proximally to the diabetic patient, between the brachial artery and the basilic vein or cephalic vein, determines the risk of distal (hand) ischemia. The correction of the ischemia can be done differently depending on its severity, starting from the vasodilator medication, reaching the cancellation of the vascular access with the accomplishment of the chronic hemodialysis on the central venous catheter. DRIL procedure (Distal Revascularization and Interval Ligation) corrects distal ischemia while maintaining functional vascular access, an important aspect in diabetic patients in whom vascular capital is deficient. We further describe a case of a diabetic patient with right L-T brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula, with important ischemic phenomena in which the DRIL procedure resolved the ischemia, the patient using vascular access as usual, the second postoperative day.

Introduction: There is an ongoing debate about the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in acute stroke during pregnancy. The aim of our case report is to present that even in a small stroke centre intravenous thrombolysis can be used on a pregnant woman if the benefit outweighs the risk and to summarize the diagnostic workup in a pregnant woman with stroke. Case report: Our case describes a 31-year-old woman presenting in her third trimester with a sudden onset of slurred speech, severe right hemiparesis, facial nerve central palsy, eyes deviation to the left, right side hemianopia, hemisensory loss, psychomotor agitation and pain in the right lower limb. She was successfully treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator with almost complete recovery (NIHSS 1 after 10 days), and 23 days after intravenous thrombolysis, she delivered in the 37th week a healthy male infant. The first documented successful outcome from thrombolysis for this condition in Slovakia supports the notion of giving intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator to pregnant patients with disabling ischaemic stroke who meet the criteria for thrombolysis. Discussion: At the end of case study, a recommended diagnostic workup for acute treatment of stroke in pregnant women is presented.

Vein Catheterization

The application of Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in trauma and patients with severe bleeding tendency has been controversial. However, VV ECMO without anticoagulation contributes to reducing the risk of bleeding during ECMO maintenance. VV ECMO serves critical roles in therapy of patients with severe pulmonary infection and failure in conventional therapy. The common peripheral catheterization approach for VV ECMO is femoral vein-internal jugular vein catheterization, and bilateral femoral vein catheterization can also achieve the purpose of respiratory support for patients with limited cervical catheterization. In this case report, we described a patient with post-traumatic cervical spinal cord injury and severe pulmonary infection who was successfully treated with heparin-free intravenous ECMO.
