Intravenous fluorescein for evaluating the dusky nipple-areola during reduction mammaplasty.

The intravenous fluorescein test is a useful, safe adjunct in assessing the breast skin, as well as the nipple-areola complex, in reduction mammaplasties. If all the tissue fluoresces, one can safely assume that the area will go on to remain viable. If the nipple-areola does not fluoresce, the breast should be reexplored. Anything that subsequently fluoresces generally remains viable. If the nipple-areola remains nonfluorescent, then it should be converted to a full-thickness graft.

Modifications in the treatment of the multiple injury patient.

When burns complicate the management of an otherwise severely injured patient, modifications in treatment must be undertaken for both problems. The unique situation of this type of patient often requires the use of multiple therapeutic interventions which may differ from the usual. The use of controlled hypotension and aggressive surgical burn management was successful in allowing the postponement of vascular surgery in a young male patient with a traumatic aortic disruption and extensive burns resulting from a 60-foot fall and severe thermal burns.
