Article Synopsis
- A 29-year-old Iranian male was diagnosed with Jalili-Smith syndrome (JSS), a rare genetic disorder that causes vision and dental issues, and he presented with acute angle closure glaucoma.
- JSS typically features symptoms like photophobia, nystagmus, and enamel problems, with many cases observed in areas such as the Gaza Strip, often linked to consanguinity.
- The patient's condition included several complications, such as cataracts and retinal thinning, and he underwent a unique surgery involving cataract removal and minimally invasive glaucoma procedures, which have not been documented before for JSS patients.
Purpose: To develop a reproducible in vitro model simulating central venous catheter (CVC) exchange with high potential for air embolization and test the hypothesis that a closed catheter clamp over hydrophilic guide wire exchange technique will significantly reduce the volume of air introduced during CVC exchange.
Materials And Methods: The model consisted of a 16-F valved sheath, 240-mL container, and pressure transducer submerged in water in a 1,200-mL suction canister system. Continuous wall suction was applied to the canister to maintain negative pressure at -7 mm Hg or -11 mm Hg.
