We describe a patient who developed biceps compartment syndrome due to malposition of noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff across the elbow with subsequent flexion joint. Case Report A 29-yr-old man sustained tibia-fibula fracture extensive bone loss after motorcycle accident. He had no past medical history and his vital signs were normal. was mesomorphic, 168 cm tall, weighed 70 kg, physical examination unremarkable. The underwent microvascular free fibular transfer left fibula right...
The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable model independently quantify motor and sensory block produced by local anesthetics. sciatic nerve blocked in 52 rats injecting 0.2 mL 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, or 0.75% bupivacaine (n = 13 for each concentration). Accurate needle placement achieved using stimulator at mA 1 Hz. Ten control received 0.9% saline 5) sham stimulation 5). Motor assessed measuring hindpaw grip strength with dynamometer. Sensory determined withdrawal latency from...

A patient with untreated achalasia experienced massive dilatation of the esophagus causing airway compression at multiple sites.Acute ventilatory failure ensued, requiring endotracheal intubation.Emergent bronchoscopic intervention was used to overcome distal tracheal and thereby enable safe evacuation esophageal contents by esophagoscopy.
Intracranial hypotension (IH) can occur following lumbar drainage for clipping of an intracranial aneurysm. We observed 3 cases IH, which were all successfully treated by epidural blood patch (EBP). Herein, the authors report our cases. Keywords: aneurysm, hypotension, Cerebrospinal fluid leakage, Epidural
Traumatic asphyxia is a rare syndrome first described over 150 years ago by Olivier [1]. It caused sudden compressive chest trauma and associated with craniocervical cyanosis, facial edema petechiae, subconjunctival hemorrhage, neurological symptoms. usually of little prognostic significance, although injuries may be life-threatening [2-6]. The present case report discusses some the complications traumatic that could affect patient outcome are relevant to anesthetic management. Case Report A...
THC-like psychoactive cannabinoids permeate the lipid bilayer of membrane, altering its physicochemical properties and activating phospholipases. As a result, an increased production arachidonic acid occurs with cascade eicosanoids, including prostaglandins. In addition, THC derivatives bind within membrane in stereospecific fashion, to transmembrane G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) for which has much higher affinity than natural ligands, arachidonylethanolamide (AEA) 2-arachidonyglycerol...
Background and Objectives. Study of the pharmacokinetic profile morphine following intravenous or epidural administration in parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery. Methods. Sixteen healthy scheduled for delivery received lumbar anesthesia to a T4 sensory level using lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:200,000. One hour after last local anesthetic dose was given, patients were randomized receive 5 mg either intravenously (n = 8) epidurally 8). Venous blood samples obtained at times 0,...
