Misplacement of Nasogastric Tube in Two Different Cases: Case Report
(2013) Palabiyik, O.; Goktas, U.; Isik, Y.; Kati, I.; Sozen, D.; Avcu, S.
Although the insertion of nasogastric tube has been described as an easy and simple procedure, it may cause severe complications and death. It is therefore important to verify correct nasogastric tube placement. Placement of a nasogastric tube is confirmed using several methods, including auscultation over the epigastric area, aspiration of gastric content from the tube, measuring pH of gastric content and radiological methods. We present the inadvertent insertion of nasogastric tube into the airways, that resulted in respiratory distress, in two different patients to serve as a reminder that malpositioning may cause severe complications.
Platelet Dysfunction and Gross Bleeding Associated With Uremia
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Goktas, U.; Yuzkat, N.; Isik, Y.; Çegin, M.; Palabiyik, O.; Kati, I.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are prone to bleeding due to the platelet dysfunction caused by uraemia. Therefore, the mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease increase. The 81-year-old female patient, in dialysis dependent CKD, had an emergency cholecystitis operation with uremia-induced platelet dysfunction has evolved. Patient with gross bleeding intraoperatively had a cardiac arrest during operation. After cardiopulmonary resusitation cardiac impulses were started and patient was taken into intensive care unit. After the administration of estrogen and Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypass Activity treatment for the bleeding diathesis, bleeding has reduced and after 6 days from the operation patient was externed to his service. The chronic kidney disease may lead to hemorrhagic diathesis and unexpected abundant bleeding by creating a platelet dysfunction. Such being the case, the utilization of desmopressin and Factor VIII concentrate during the treatment is an efficient treatment option. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, Universitas Indonesia.
