External beam radiation therapy (XRT) has become one of the cornerstones in management pediatric oncology cases. While procedure itself is painless, anxiety it causes may necessitate provision sedation or anesthesia for patient. This review paper will briefly XRT so that provider an understanding what occurring during simulation and treatment phases. We then examine several currently used regimens suite as well a discussion when how general should be performed if deemed necessary. Standards...
Fospropofol, a phosphorylated prodrug version of the popular induction agent propofol, is hydrolyzed in vivo to release active formaldehyde, and phosphate.Pharmacodynamic studies show fospropofol provides clinically useful sedation EEG/bispectral index suppression while causing significantly less respiratory depression than propofol.Pain at injection site, common complaint with was not reported fospropofol; major patient transitory perianal itching during drug's administration.Although many...
Background: The purpose of this study was to propose a new crosswalk using the resource-based relative value system (RBRVS) that preserves time unit component anesthesia service and disaggregates billing into parts (preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, postoperative evaluation). designed as an observational chart data review current proposed payments, in setting preoperative holing area, suite, post care unit. In total, 1,195 charts American Society Anesthesiology (ASA)...
Spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy is a rare complication, with few reports in the obstetric and anesthesiology literature. It often related to underlying medical conditions such as cancer or pulmonary disease (1). This case report describes an otherwise healthy parturient who developed tension after initiation of general anesthesia. The absence any precipitating factors suggests presence clinically silent, spontaneous antepartum period. Case Report patient 40-yr-old, previously...
Background. Retrograde intubation is useful for obtaining endotracheal access when direct laryngoscopy proves difficult. The technique a practical option in the "cannot intubate / can ventilate" scenario. However, it equally as an elective awake patients with anticipated difficult airways. Many practitioners report difficulty successfully advancing tube due to anatomical obstructions and acute angle of anterograde guide. purpose this study was test whether more caudal tracheal puncture would...
Study Objective: To report the use of a sustained Valsalva maneuver during deliberate hypotension in order to reduce incidence distal particle embolization neuroangiographic intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Design: Retrospective case series. Patients: 54 cases were studied involving 46 unique patients (20 male, 26 female) seen between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008. All ASA class II-III undergoing neuroangiographically-assisted for AVMs. Intervention: Immediately prior...
