A comparison between two emergency cricothyroidotomy instruments.

As part of a training programme for younger doctors, two commercially available, emergency cricothyroidotomy sets were evaluated. Prior to the surgical procedure, half of the doctors in each group received an audiovisual lesson. In a simulated but realistic emergency situation, involving autopsy material, cricothyroidotomy was performed utilizing either the "Nutrake" or the "Gentofte" system. The audiovisual lesson increased the speed and the success rate of the doctors performing this procedure as well as strengthening their confidence. Both systems allowed positive pressure ventilation. The participating doctors achieved a higher success rate at a faster speed with the "Nutrake" set.

Lipiduria after intralipid infusion of a lipid emulsion in a boy with an abdominal trauma.

A 4-year-old boy with an abdominal trauma had lipiduria following treatment with total intravenous nutrition for 4 days. Renal function was normal throughout the course and the lipiduria ceased after withdrawal of the intravenous nutrition. The lipids were possibly excreted through the kidneys or entered the urine through a traumatic communication between the lymphatic vessels and the urinary system. Control of renal function and lipiduria after 1 year revealed normal conditions.
