Abstract Background Surgery for catecholamine-producing tumours can be complicated by intraoperative and postoperative haemodynamic instability. Several perioperative management strategies have emerged but none has been evaluated in randomized trials. To assess this issue, contemporary outcome data from 21 centres were collected. Methods Twenty-one contributed patients who had surgery phaeochromocytoma paraganglioma between 2000 2017. The included the number of with without α-receptor...
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is common, but rarely produces life-threatening symptoms. We describe a case of massive mediastinal subcutaneous emphysema, which developed immediately after postoperative in the postanesthesia recovery unit caused imminent airway compromise, requiring emergent fiberoptic endotracheal intubation. Case Report A 43-yr-old woman underwent an uneventful left total mastectomy for intraductal breast carcinoma. Her medical history was significant only glaucoma...
To reevaluate and update evidence-based best practice recommendations published in 2004 for anesthetic perioperative care pain management weight loss surgery (WLS), we performed a systematic search of English-language literature on WLS between April May 2007 MEDLINE the Cochrane Library. We identified relevant abstracts by using key words, retrieved full text articles, stratified resulting evidence according to systems used established models. updated prior based upon interim literature. In...
Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) following liver transplantation (LT) remains a challenge for patients and clinicians. We retrospectively analyzed the effect of pre-defined EAD on outcomes in 10-year cohort deceased-donor LT recipients with clearly defined exclusion criteria. was by at least one following: AST or ALT >2000 IU/L within first-week post-LT, total bilirubin ≥10 mg/dL, and/or INR ≥1.6 post-operative day 7. Ten developed primary graft failure were separately. occurred 86 (36%)...
Background The optimal method for blood pressure monitoring in obese surgical patients remains unknown. Arterial catheters can cause potential complications, and noninvasive oscillometry provides only intermittent values. Finger cuff methods allow continuous monitoring. authors tested the hypothesis that agreement between finger intraarterial measurements is better than oscillometric measurements. Methods This prospective study compared (reference method), cuff, (upper arm, forearm, lower...
In Brief Among the intraoperative resources expended for liver transplantation, laboratory tests, personnel, high-flow infusion devices, high-tech monitoring equipment, and veno-venous bypass vary from institution to institution. Although of obvious interest anesthesia transplantation community others, little is known regarding current utilization these on a national level. To determine resource among centers in United States, we conducted survey between April July 2002. Results were...
