Nasotracheal intubation can potentially result in microbial contamination from the upper respiratory tract to lower tracts. However, an ideal nasotracheal disinfection method is yet be determined. Therefore, we compared effects between benzalkonium chloride and povidone iodine intubation. Overall, this study enrolled 53 patients aged 20–70 years who were classified into classes 1 2 as per American Society of Anesthesiologists-physical status scheduled undergo general anesthesia with NTI....
While anaphylaxis can occur at any time during general anesthesia, 90% of cases induction anesthesia. As several drugs are administered simultaneously this time, it is difficult to identify the causative agent. However, has been found that rocuronium most common drug associated with perioperative anaphylaxis. We treated 2 patients who were sugammadex for anaphylactic symptoms thought be caused by rocuronium, after which disappeared. One important aspects treating shock improving...
Abstract In the anesthetic management in this case was how to manage patient without causing respiratory depression and muscle fatigue.
Abstract Background Postoperative hoarseness after general anesthesia is associated with patient discomfort and dissatisfaction. A recent large retrospective study showed that single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation by a trainee did not alter the incidence of postoperative pharyngeal symptoms compared senior anesthesiologist. However, there limited information about relationship between anesthesiologist’s experience double-lumen intubation. We tested hypothesis performed increases to...
Abstract. This study evaluates the effects of climate change on economic losses due to flood-related damage in Japan. Three selected GCM data were downscaled using an analytical method that uses observed precipitation as reference resolution. The used estimate extreme rainfall for different return periods. estimates then entered into a two-dimensional (2-D) non-uniform flow model flood inundation information.
