Background Pre-operative administration of benzodiazepines can cause hypoventilation—a decrease in minute ventilation (MV)—commonly referred to as "respiratory compromise or respiratory depression." Respiratory depression lead hypercarbia and / hypoxemia, may heighten the risk other complications. Current anesthesia practice often places patients at for complications even before surgery, monitoring is generally postponed until patient operating room. In present study we examined quantified...
Background Monitoring respiratory status using end tidal CO2 (EtCO2), which reliably reflects arterial PaCO2 in intubated patients under general anesthesia, has often proven both inaccurate and inadequate when monitoring non-intubated spontaneously breathing patients. This is particularly important undergoing procedural sedation (e.g., endoscopy, colonoscopy). can be undertaken the operating theater, but also delivered outside room by non-anesthesia providers. In this study we evaluated...
Abstract: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) infiltration is a regional anesthesia technique that has been demonstrated to be effective for management of postsurgical pain after abdominal surgery. There are several different clinical variations in the approaches used achieving analgesia via TAP infiltration, and methods identification have evolved considerably since landmark-guided was first described 2001. many factors impact analgesic outcomes following various nuances this led debate...
<b>Objective</b> To compare the effectiveness of intravenous acetaminophen with that morphine in reducing pain first stage labor. <b>Methods</b> An open-label, randomized controlled trial women ≥ 34 weeks gestation labor, assigned to either or morphine. The primary outcome was improved analgesia measured by difference visual analog scale (VAS) score at 120 minutes from baseline. Secondary outcomes were request for rescue analgesia, maternal side effects, and fetal heart rate changes....
Monitoring the adequacy of spontaneous breathing is a major patient safety concern in post-operative setting. particularly important for obese patients, who are at higher risk post-surgical respiratory complications and often have increased metabolic demand due to excess weight. Here we used novel, noninvasive Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM) monitor ventilation both non-obese orthopedic patients throughout their perioperative course, order develop better monitoring strategies. We collected...
Abstract: Management of nonobstetric pain in the pregnant patient presents unique challenges related to transplacental fetal exposure opioids and subsequent risk neonatal withdrawal syndrome. We present case a suffering from progressively enlarging thoracoabdominal sarcoma. Epidural analgesia (using local anesthetics with minimal opioid) was utilized over span weeks manage oncologic pain, limiting opioid culminating birth healthy infant. While abdominal during pregnancy is not that uncommon,...
Abstract: Raynaud’s syndrome has been treated medically and invasively, sometimes with regional anesthesia leading up to sympathectomy. We demonstrate that was in this case a useful technique can allow some patients find temporary but significant relief from symptoms of Raynaud's exacerbation. present 43-year-old woman secondary lupus who bilateral popliteal nerve block catheters for ischemic pain necrosis her feet; led almost immediate resolution return color function feet.

Bilateral brachial plexus blocks and regional anesthesia in trauma patients are rarely performed due to potential complications when using these techniques. We illustrate a case which bilateral infraclavicular nerve were placed as part of multimodal approach pain management patient. discuss hazards, important considerations, rationale for attempting this procedure. Ultimately, performing is viable option choosing
In the continuing care of postoperative patients who have been extubated, being able to monitor tidal volume and minute ventilation can provide objective criteria identify respiratory depression allow for earlier intervention. We present a morbidly obese female patient that was not extubated at end case due low detected by anesthesia machine real-time non-invasive trialed procedure. This subsequently useful in continuous information on patient’s status extubation after trial extubation....
