To describe a simple, noninvasive technique to detect changes in oxygen saturation at the level of spinal cord and suggest its suitability for individualized blood pressure management during after thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair.A 53-year-old man with history multiple arch thoracic aortic procedures underwent staged hybrid treatment large TAAA due chronic dissection from distal into iliac arteries. During procedures, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors were applied over 10th vertebra...
Kidney transplantation is universally recognized as the gold standard treatment in patients with End-stage Disease (ESKD, or according to latest nomenclature, CKD stage 5). Robot-assisted kidney (RAKT) gradually becoming preferred technique adults, even if applied very few centra, potentially improved clinical outcomes compared open transplantation. To date, only RAKT procedures children have been described. transplant recipient patients, being immunocompromised, might be at increased risk...
We present a case series of intra-operative adverse events while using specific type bronchial blocker, designed to facilitate device positioning and minimise the risk dislocation. The Rüsch® EZ-blocker™ (Teleflex Life Sciences Ltd., Athlone, Ireland) is Y-shaped catheter equipped with two separately inflatable cuffs at tip - one for each lumen. In this report, we describe four cases where use EZ-blocker was associated development high airway pressures, hypoxaemia expansion non-dependent...
Introduction and Objectives: Kidney autotransplantation can be performed in patients with complex renal or ureteral pathology not suitable for situ reconstruction, such as vasculature anomalies, proximal long strictures, oncological cases. Robot-assisted surgery allows a high-quality vascular anastomosis faster patient recovery. kidney (RAKAT) is two phases: nephrectomy pelvic transplantation. In-between, extraction of the reconstruction modification on bench safe cold ischemia established....

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) leads to thoracic complications requiring surgery. This is challenging, particularly in patients supported with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) due the need for continuous therapeutic anticoagulation. We aim share our experience regarding safety and perioperative management of video-assisted surgery this specific population.Retrospective, single-center study between November 2020 January 2022 at ICU department a 1.061-bed tertiary...
Background: Intraoperative sympathetic stimulation induces a cascade of metabolic and hormonal changes. It increases perfusion vital organs, but also causes vasoconstriction blood vessels supplying less potentially leading to organ injury. To date, it is unknown how an endogenous stress reaction affects the spinal cord supply. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be applied paravertebrally monitor oxygenation collateral network, which contributes has already been demonstrated that regional...
