Thoracic trauma is one of the most common causes of death in trauma cases due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Definitive diagnosis and rapid identification are challenges in ARDS due to blunt thoracic trauma. The PIC score (pain, incentive spirometry, cough) is used to evaluate and monitor patients during treatment. This study was aimed to assess the specificity and sensitivity of the PIC Score in predicting the occurrence of ARDS in patients with rib fractures due to blunt thoracic trauma. This study used a prospective cohort design with a correlation analysis using data of dependency modeling via R-line copula, ROC curve analysis, and regression analysis. The results showed a total of 25 patients with an average age of 52 years, male sex was predominant (84% vs 16%). On admission, most patients had fractures of three ribs (40%). The PIC score tended to be lower in patients with higher number of rib fractures. The relationship between the PIC score and the PaO2/FiO2 ratio on day 7th of treatment showed a positive correlation, supporting the possibility of using the PIC score to predict ARDS. The sensitivity and specificity of the PIC score in predicting ARDS in blunt thoracic trauma were quite high (sensitivity 80.2% and specificity 80.9%) with an accuracy of 80.9%. In conclusion, the PIC score can predict accurately the occurrence of ARDS in patients with rib fractures due to blunt thoracic trauma.Keywords: blunt thoracic trauma; ARDS; PIC score Abstrak: Trauma toraks merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian terbanyak dalam kasus trauma acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Diagnosis pasti dan identifikasi segera merupakan tantangan dalam penanganan ARDS akibat trauma tumpul toraks. PIC score (pain, incentive spirometry, cough) digunakan untuk mengevaluasi dan memonitor pasien selama perawatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai spesifisitas dan sensitivitas PIC score dalam memrediksi terjadinya ARDS pada pasien patah tulang iga akibat trauma tumpul toraks. Pada penelitian ini digunakan rancangan prospective cohort dengan penilaian korelasi analisis menggunakan data hasil pemodelan dependensi via R-line copula, analisis kurva ROC, dan analisis regresi. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan total 25 pasien dengan rerata usia 52 tahun, didominasi oleh laki-laki (84% vs 16%). Saat masuk kebanyakan pasien mengalami patah tulang pada tiga tulang iga (40%). PIC score cenderung lebih rendah pada pasien dengan jumlah patah tulang iga yang lebih banyak. Hubungan antara PIC score dan rasio PaO2/FiO2 pada hari ke-7 perawatan menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif; hal ini mendukung kemungkinan penggunaan PIC score untuk memrediksi ARDS. Sensitivitas dan spesifisitas PIC score dalam memrediksi ARDS pada trauma tumpul toraks cukup tinggi (sensitivitas 80,2% dan spesifisitas 80,9%) dengan akurasi 80,9%. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah PIC score dapat memrediksi terjadinya ARDS secara akurat pada pasien patah tulang iga akibat trauma tumpul toraks.Kata kunci: trauma tumpul toraks; ARDS; PIC score
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) prevalence tends to increase every year. Within 30 seconds it is predicted that one leg will be amputated due to DFU. New blood formation triggered by adjuvant extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on increasing VEGF level is expected to promote DFU healing. This study was aimed to prove whether ESWT as an adjuvant therapy could stimulate DFU healing by increasing VEGF serum level. This was a quasi-experimental study using two groups, the ESWT and the control groups. Two repeated measurements of VEGF levels and PEDIS scores were performed. The ESWT group (17 patients) received the adjuvant ESWT and the control group (7 patients) received conventional wound care therapy. Both groups received 8-time treatment for 4 weeks. Measurements of VEGF levels and PEDIS scores were performed at baseline and after 4 weeks. The results showed that the PEDIS score of the ESWT group decreased, albeit, not in the control group. The VEGF level of the ESWT group significantly increased (mean rank=13.24) compared to the control group (mean rank=7.33). The Wilcoxon signed-ranks test indicated that the PEDIS score in ESWT group had a significant decrease compared to the control group (mean rank=7.50), Z=-3.372, p=<.001. The Pearson correlation test showed a significant relationship between VEGF value and the PEDIS score reduction (81.4%). In conclusion, the adjuvant ESWT therapy could promote DFU healing (reduced PEDIS score) and increase VEGF levels in DFU patients.Keywords: ESWT; VEGF; diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) Abstrak: Prevalensi ulkus kaki dibetik (UKD) terus meningkat setiap tahunnya dan dalam 30 detik diprediksi terdapat satu kaki yang diamputasi karena UKD.

Massive pleural effusion is a condition in which there is a buildup of fluid beyond normal in the pleural cavum with a volume of two-thirds of one side of the pulmonary field proven with the help of chest X-ray. Drainage of pleural effusion fluid is a management treatment for pleural effusion, but nevertheless it has complications such as pain, bleeding, pneumothorax, and pulmonary edema. Blood gas analysis is simple and essential examination in emergency medicine, which is able to provide valuable information about the acid-base status, ventilation, and oxygenation of a patient. This study aimed to analyze changes in blood acidity (pH), oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) in patients with massive pleural effusion at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. This was a prospective cohort study with a longitudinal data collection design according to the cohort method. The results of the overall linear regression analysis supported the effect of drainage on PaCO2, PaO2, and pH, and indicated that the relationship between drainage volume and PaO2 was positive. Meanwhile, descriptively and statistically, there was no meaningful relationship between pH and PaCO2 and drainage volume. In conclusion, there is a positive relationship between drainage volume and PaO2, however, there is no significant relationship between pH and PaCO2 with drainage volume.Keywords: massive pleural effusion; pH; PaCO2; PaO2 Abstrak: Efusi pleura masif adalah suatu keadaan dimana terjadi penumpukan cairan melebihi volum normal di dalam kavum pleura dengan volume duapertiga dari satu sisi lapang paru yang dapat dibuktikan dengan bantuan X foto toraks.

Removal of chest tube is a one of the most distressing and frustrating experience for patients. Moreover, it has a tendency of scar formation. A relatively new method has been developed using a type of suture without knots (knotless). Assessment of scar is an objective and subjective method performed by using patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS). This study was aimed to assess the scars formed due to chest tube removal using conventional and knotless sutures. This was a controlled trial design. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the PSOAS scores of scars formed due to conventional and knotless sutures performed by patients and observers after three months, and obtained a p-value of less than 0.05. In conclusion, scar formation due to knotless suture is more acceptable for patients compared to conventional suture among chest tube removal wounds; therefore, the knotless suture can be a cosmetically alternative for wound closure management. Keywords: chest tube; scar tissue; knotless suture; conventional suture Abstrak: Pelepasan chest tube merupakan hal yang menyakitkan dan pengalaman yang membuat frustasi bagi pasien. Selain itu, tindakan ini berpeluang menyebabkan pembentukan jaringan parut. Telah dikembangkan metode baru dengan material jahitan baru yang tidak perlu disimpul.

Hal ini dapat menjadi salah satu metode alternatif penutupan luka chest tube dengan hasil yang lebih dapat diterima.Kata kunci: chest tube; jaringan parut; metode knotless; metode konvensional
Clinical manifestations of pleural effusion are influenced by the fluid volume and the underlying disease. Pleural effusion index (PEI) is the ratio between the maximum width of pleural effusion and maximum width of hemithorax in patient with lateral decubitus position. However, PEI as the indicator of pleural effusion volume is rarely used. This study aimed to determine the optimal drainage volume of massive pleural effusion based on initial PEI value. This was an observational study with a hospital-based prospective cohort design conducted at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital in Manado, Indonesia. Samples were patients presented with massive pleural effusion. This study analyzed the details of thoracentesis, demographic profile, past medical history, clinical charac-teristics, laboratory findings, postoperative observations, admission and discharge time. The results obtained 32 patients with massive pleural effusion, consisting of 17 males (53%) and 15 females (47 %). The average respirations of pre-drainage and delta-drainage patients were 27 times per minute and 24 times per minute respectively while the standard deviations were slightly different. The median respiratory rate of post-drainage was 24 times per minute. In conclusion, measurement of PEI in pre-drainage patients had significant correlation in determining the optimal drainage volume.Keywords: pleural effusion; pleural effusion index Abstrak: Manifestasi klinis efusi pleura dipengaruhi oleh volume cairan dan penyakit yang mendasarinya.
