Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

31. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), the surgeon makes an incision into the abdomen and examines the
Padkao
abdominal organs. Different incisions are sometimes used depending on the circumstance. Common incisions include a vertical 31
midline incision, and right or left upper or lower quadrant transverse incisions. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken and diseased
areas can be evaluated. When the treatment is complete, the incision is closed with either sutures or skin staples.
32. Incision and suture
• Posterolateral thoracotomy incised lattisimus dorsi, serratus
anterior, external and internal intercostals, trapezius and
rhomboid
• Median sternotomy involves longitudinal division of sternum
and the aponeuroses of the pectoralis major

• FRC may be lowered by up to 30% at 24 hours
postoperatively and remain reduced for several days
• Dependent lung collapse occurs within 15 minutes and
last for up to 4 days postoperatively
• Narcosis reduces the sensitivity of the respiratory
center and decrease the efficiency of the elimination of
CO2
• A decrease in CO potentially reduces pulmonary blood
flow and alveolar perfusion, thus increasing
physiological dead space
Padkao 42
43. General Anesthesia
• V/Q mismatching is accentuate by supine,
respiratory depression and reduce cardiac output
• Mucocillary clearance cease altogether after 90
minutes of GA
• The cough reflex is damped

48. Incision and suture
• These may vary according to individual surgeon’s
preference
• Transverse abdominal incisions can less strain on the
wound than vertical incisions
• Face and neck suture tend to heal in 3-5 days
• Leg and foot tend to heal in 14 days
• Abdominal and chest wound tend to heal in 7-10 days

53. Breathing Exercise
• The localized breathing exercise
increase lung volume achieved
promotes an increase in airflow
through collateral channels
• Deep breathing is more gas to
the basal than apical and holding
with glottis open for three
seconds at maximal inspiration
produces a greater rise in PaO2
than deep unsustained breath
• 3 TEE with SMI every walking
hour are preferable to patients
Padkao 53
54. Swedish Pleurisy Exercise
• Aim: - Increase chest expansion
- Remove fluid in pleural cavity

First period: 15 time/set, 4 set/day
Padkao 55
56. Breathing Exercise
• Alveoli are likely to remain patent for 1 hour after reinflation
• The most efficient regiment of prophylaxis against
respiratory complication after abdominal surgery is deep
breathing exercise for low risk patients (Hall JC et al, 1996)
• Incentive spirometer appear to be more effective than no
physiotherapy intervention in the prevention of postoprative
pulmonary complications (Tomas J and McIntoch JM, 1994)
Padkao 56
57. Incentive Spirometer
• The use of device
designed to encourage
a reproducible
sustained maximal
inspiration made with
glottis open

58. Incentive Spirometer
• Lung function can be increased significantly when
incentive spirometer and inspiratory muscle training
are used before and after operation (Weirer P et al,
1997)
• The addition IS to PT did not further reduces
pulmonary complication or hospital stay (Gosselink
R et al., 2000)
Padkao 58
59. Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing(IPPB)
• A form of assisted or controlled
respiration produced by a
ventilatory apparatus in which
compressed gas is delivered
under positive pressure into a
person's airways until a preset
pressure is reached. Passive
exhalation is allowed through a
valve, and the cycle begins again
as the flow of gas is triggered by
inhalation
Padkao 59
60. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
• The mechanism is an
increase in collateral
airflow to collapsed
lung regions due to
maintenance of
positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP)
thereby assisting
reinflation and removal
of secretions.
Padkao 60
61. CPAP
• Provision of CPAP decrease the risk of respiratory
distress requiring reintubation and the need for
artificial ventilation (Fagevik OM et al., 2002)
• The addition of CPAP to a traditional physiotherapy
post-operative treatment regimen after upper
abdominal surgery did not significantly affect
physiological or clinical outcomes (Denely L et al.,
2001)
