Abstract

The diabetic coma presents a metabolic derangement which is initiated by a lack of insulin but is markedly enhanced by intracellular insulin resistance. The most essential points of insulin, fluid and electrolyte substitution are presented in this publication. Intensive care treatment is recommended not only because of the severe metabolic defect but also because of disturbances coming up in the course of treatment.

Estimation of central venous pressure by ultrasound of the internal jugular vein.

This article describes a simple, new technique using ultrasound (US) to estimate central venous pressure (CVP). The sonographic patterns of the internal jugular vein (IJV) with a low, normal, and elevated CVP are also described. Although bedside visual inspection of the height of the jugular veins as an estimate of CVP has been an integral part of the physical examination, its major limitation has been that the jugular veins are not always observable. In obese patients, a layer of fat often obscures the jugular pulsations. US has proven to be a powerful tool to noninvasively visualize neck veins in the emergency department. Bedside US of the IJV, performed by emergency physicians, provides immediate, important information that cannot be obtained without invasive catheters.

A huge cystic hygroma of the neck associated with intraventricular haemorrhage in a term neonate.

We report on a female term neonate who presented with a huge cystic hygroma of the right neck associated with intraventricular haemorrhage as demonstrated by computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies. She underwent extraventricular drainage and excision of the neck mass with stable postoperative condition. Psychomotor retardation was found thereafter. To our knowledge, the association of a large cystic hygroma of the neck with intracranial haemorrhage has not been reported previously. The possible mechanism of the occurrence of the haemorrhage is discussed.
