Objective: The purpose of this study was we investigated whether the patient's family was able to recognize the consultation desk on the grief card and was the help desk easy to use.

Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted. The χ²  test was performed by dividing into two groups according to the descriptive statistics of the survey items and the presence or absence of the usefulness of the grief card. Furthermore, the research design was a mixed method that qualitatively analyzed the free description.

Results: In this survey, we received responses from 168 people (recovery rate 24.3%). Eighty percent wanted the opportunity to talk to a healthcare professional after the bereavement of the patient, but 60% did not recognize the grief card that showed the contact. On the other hand, many wanted to meet with medical staff after bereavement.

Conclusion: It is necessary to identify the situation of the patient’s family in a crisis situation, reconsider the timing and method of distributing the grief card, and consider the support system and psychological isolation according to the social background after bereavement.

An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department with hemorrhagic shock caused by a neck-penetrating glass injury after falling. Her family had removed the glass following the injury. On admission, the patient had hemorrhagic instability with active bleeding from the left neck and continuous finger compression was effective for temporal hemostasis. The surgical approach to Zone III neck injury was challenging, thereafter we decide to perform cerebral angiography. Left vertebral artery (VA) angiography showed active bleeding from the left main trunk of the V3 segment of VA. After undergoing endovascular parent artery embolization, the patient's hemostasis was accomplished. The formation of the V3 segment of VA injury caused by stab wounds is a rare vascular anomaly. Endovascular treatment could be considered if there is difficulty in detecting the source of bleeding in the injured regions that are challenging to operatively access. We concluded that endovascular treatment should be considered first in cases of injury to the V2 or V3 segment of VA.
