Most anesthetics reduce cardiac functions and lower blood pressure (BP), potentially causing excessive BP reduction in dehydrated patients or those with heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Considering the increased prevalence of cardiovascular age, anesthesiologists must be cautious about during general anesthesia older adults. In present case, a 76-year-old male patient undiagnosed CAD hypovolemic state experienced significant drop systolic to fifties propofol...
The occurrence of CRPS after a snake bite was very rare, only two cases were reported worldwide.Here we report case that the 44-year-old female patient bitten by snakes type 1 treated consecutive intravenous regional block, lumbar sympathectomy and antiepileptic drug therapy, also discuss possible pathophysiology.(
Introduction: Maternal epilepsy is a critical condition that can significantly affect mothers and fetuses. Notably, the admission of laboring mother with uncontrolled refractory status epilepticus (RSE) to operating room presents challenging scenario for anesthesiologists. The main symptoms patient important clinical findings: A 30-year-old primigravida was transferred an emergency cesarean section. Cesarean section performed after provisional diagnosis preeclampsia made. diagnoses,...
Background Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) disease has many symptoms such as globus pharyngeus, excessive throat clearing and hoarseness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect stellate ganglion block (SGB) in addition proton pump inhibitors (PPI) on LPR. Methods Fifty patients complaining more than 3 typical LPR for over months were enrolled study. P group took PPI 8 weeks. SP interwent a series SGB procedure once week during period treatment. blocks performed one at time...
Purpose: This study set out to identify the association between intraperitoneal CO 2 concentrations and postoperative pain by dividing participants into a control group experimental groups receiving irrigation (1 L L), directly measuring their with gas detector.Methods: A total of 101 patients, American Society Anesthesiologists physical status classification I II patients aged 18-65 years were enrolled in study.Group 1 did not receive normal saline, while 3 admin istered respectively, after...
Rationale: A multilumen access catheter (MAC) is a large-bore that prevents kinking or collapsing. Misplacement frequently reported complication. Patient concerns: 59-year-old man who was diagnosed with hemoperitoneum due to liver laceration after fall. Diagnosis: After catheterization, we were able aspirate blood through the 9 Fr, but not 12-gauge line. Thus, assumed misplaced. Nevertheless, ultrasonographic findings did reveal reason for malfunction. We found in distal part of removing it....
Anesthetics reduce cardiac functions and lower blood pressure (BP), potentially causing excessive BP reduction in dehydrated patients or those with heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Considering the increased prevalence of cardiovascular age, anesthesiologists must be cautious about during general anesthesia older adults. In present case, an undiagnosed CAD patient a hypovolemic state experienced significant systolic drop to 50s propofol sevoflurane anesthesia. Despite...
Hypovolemic shock and septic present similar symptoms, such as increased heart rate decreased blood pressure. However, the two conditions have different causes, mechanisms, treatment approaches. Early differentiation between can a positive impact on patient prognosis. In this case, underwent right ovarian cystectomy due to teratoma torsion during previous pregnancy, followed by for postoperative infection. While recovering, an emergency cesarean section sudden severe abdominal pain. After...
There are several causes of hypoxia during and after surgery, atelectasis is a common symptom that occurs surgery. In particular, elderly patients more vulnerable to due their existing lung diseases or respiratory muscle weakness. This study presents the cases two who developed total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia. Positive end expiratory pressure, recruitment maneuver, increased fraction inspired oxygen improved only temporarily, patients’ saturation level again dropped...
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although PONV usually mild, severe thing can delay recovery prolong hospitalization. We aimed to investigate the effects ramosetron esmolol, alone in combination, on PONV, pain.We enrolled 165 patients their 20s 50s who had an American Society Anesthesiology physical status score 1 or 2 were scheduled undergo They randomly allocated into 3 groups: groups R, E, E+R. Patients group R received 0.3...
Background: Lightwand is a convenient tool that can be used instead of laryngoscope for intubation. Tracheal intubation causes direct stimulation the larynx, drastically increasing hemodynamic values including blood pressure and heart rate. This study aims to identify effect different doses esmolol on changes during lightwand intubation.Methods: The subjects included 140 patients who underwent general anesthesia elective surgery. were randomly divided into four groups (35 in each group). ‘C’...
Intraoperative hypoxia occurs in approximately 6.8% of surgeries and requires appropriate management to avoid poor outcomes, such as increased mortality or extended hospitalization. Hypoxia can be caused by a variety factors, including laryngospasm, inhalational anesthetics, surgery for abdominal pathology hip fractures. In particular, elderly patients are more vulnerable due their existing lung diseases respiratory muscle weakness. This study presents the cases two who developed during...
Variant angina is characterized by coronary artery spasm irrespective of the presence fixed stenotic lesions. Perioperative may be induced supersensitivity vascular smooth muscle cells caused various stimuli, including stimulation parasympathetic nervous system.A 57-year-old male patient was undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under combined interscalene brachial plexus block and general anesthesia in lateral decubitus position. While compressing right shoulder to remove residual...
Objective: Agitation is a common symptom in children undergoing surgery, especially when surgeries are performed under sevoflurane and patients undergo strabismus surgery. Because agitation can increase the risk of falls lacerations on surgical sites delay discharge from recovery room, adopting measures to reduce incidence essential. This study aimed compare agitation-reducing effects lidocaine esmolol administered individually or as combination.Methods: We included 80 scheduled Thiopental...
The general anesthesia combined with epidural have many advantages, which are including early recovery, postoperative analgesia, and less requirement of inhalation anesthetic. But the complications such as total spinal anesthesia, respiratory depression, myocardial ischemia, local anesthet ic toxicity can lead to cardiac arrest. We report a case acute infarction in 74-year-old female patient receiving anesthesia. profound hypotension without bradycardia ST-segment elevation II occurred 1...
Percutaneous arterial catheterization is a widely used technique for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and blood gas analysis. There are various complications such as hemorrhage, hematoma, infection, thrombosis. We performed procedure to confirm that the lateral circulation of radial artery was sufficient. The pressure waveform damped after catheterization. Immediately removal catheter, ultrasonography Doppler were formation total thrombus in artery. A found disappeared at 3 days postoperatively.
Endovascular aortic repair is often performed for the treatment of disease because less invasiveness and fewer complications. Cardiac tamponade a fatal that can lead to death if not treated properly. puncture by rigid guide wire used in endovascular may cause cardiac tamponade. Rapid diagnosis are needed when occurs. Confirmation be accomplished with echocardiography. Continuous echocardiography should monitor detection complications during repair. Key words: Dissecting aneurysm; tamponade;...
