Clinical Negative Pressure Measurement after Border Molding Procedure

A New Procedure for Wrapped-Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Congestion After Arterialized Venous Flap Surgery

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a method for treating wound. However, there are no case reports using NPWT for treating congestion after arterialized venous flap. Therefore, this study reported favorable outcomes after using a single-use NPWT system for managing congestion. A 39-year-old man had his index finger caught by a press machine. The finger had a soft tissue defect at the ven...

Comparative evaluation of border molding using two different techniques in maxillary edentulous arches: A clinical study

PURPOSE The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the single-step border molding technique using injectable heavy viscosity addition silicone with sectional border molding technique using low fusing impression compound by evaluating the retention of heat cure trial denture bases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten completely edentulous patients in need of prostheses were included in this study. Two...

Negative pressure pulmonary oedema after septoplasty.

Negative pressure pulmonary oedema (NPPO) is an anaesthetic complication due to acute obstruction of the upper airway, whose main cause is laryngospasm. The pathophysiology involves a strong negative intrapleural pressure during inspiration against a closed glottis, which triggers excessive pressure in the pulmonary microvasculature. Although its diagnosis can be difficult, its recognition help...

Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema after Emergency Appendicectomy

Negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare complication that evolves rapidly after acute or chronic obstruction of the airways. We report the case of a 24-year-old male patient who enrolled for appendicectomy. The patient developed pulmonary edema immediately after extubation. After reintubation and observation in the intensive care unit the patient was extubated and discharged from hos...
