Abstract

This paper will describe a suite of surgical simulators that we have designed and implemented to run on the WWW. The procedures that have been modelled include simulations of ventricular catheterisation, and lumbar puncture. We will present a detailed overview of implementation and operation of these simulators, and indicate results from early use. The advantages and disadvantages of our approach will be discussed.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting from preceding exposure to heparin catheter flushes.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening adverse effect of heparin. It can result from any type of heparin exposure and by any route of administration; however only a few cases are reported after exposures to small quantities of heparin from catheter flushes. The major clinical problem associated with HIT is thrombosis. Early detection and institution of alternative, non-heparin anticoagulation are important. We report a patient with HIT associated with use of therapeutic-dose unfractionated heparin in whom immune sensitization to heparin was triggered by two 500-unit exposure to UFH associated with intravascular catheter flushing for antineoplastic chemotherapy in a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
