Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.9K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction01:22

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction

734
Esophageal perforation is a severe medical condition characterized by a breach in the integrity of the esophageal wall. This breach can occur due to various factors such as trauma, medical procedures, or underlying diseases. When the esophageal wall is compromised, it allows food, fluids, and digestive juices into the chest cavity or adjacent structures, leading to potential complications and health risks.
The location of esophageal perforation can vary, occurring anywhere along the esophagus....

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair01:24

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair

9.1K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Inflammatory Response

18.4K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.4K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Summary

Intravascular catheter extravasation is a common complication requiring plastic surgery assessment for severe injuries. Approximately 15 such cases are evaluated annually at Oslo University Hospital, highlighting the need for reconstructive expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sciences
  • Surgical Specialties

Background:

  • Intravascular catheters are widely used for therapy administration.
  • Extravasation, or leakage from a blood vessel, is a frequent complication.
  • Severe cases necessitate specialized evaluation by plastic surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the incidence and management of severe extravasation injuries.
  • To highlight the role of plastic surgery in reconstructive assessment.
  • To provide data on the caseload of a specialized department.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patient cases.
  • Clinical assessment of extravasation injuries.
  • Surgical planning for reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Oslo University Hospital manages approximately 15 severe extravasation cases yearly.
  • These cases require expert evaluation for injury extent and reconstructive options.

Conclusions:

  • Severe intravascular catheter extravasation is a significant clinical problem.
  • Plastic surgery plays a crucial role in managing these complex injuries.
  • Specialized centers handle a notable volume of these reconstructive challenges.
