A case is reported of complete dysphagia that resulted from impaction of a plastic fork in the hypopharynx. The patient had been attempting to induce vomiting and, as a result of the presentation, was found to be suffering f...
متن کاملDiffusion of nitrous oxide into the pleural cavity.
We postulated that nitrous oxide transfer into the pleural cavity can occur by diffusion from the alveoli, independent of vascular transport. Under general anaesthesia, six sheep were studied in two phases, a control and an experimental phase. The sheep were anaesthetized, intubated, and received positive pressure mechanical ventilation. A catheter was placed in the right pleural cavity and 150...
متن کاملUpper airway obstruction during midazolam/nitrous oxide sedation in children with enlarged tonsils.
PURPOSE The purpose of this nonrandomized, case-control study was to examine the incidence and severity of upper airway obstruction (UAO) in children with enlarged tonsils during inhalation of nitrous oxide (N2O). METHODS Following premedication with oral midazolam, 0.5 mg/kg, measurements were collected during a 3-minute control period followed by 3 minutes of breathing 50% N2O in oxygen. An...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Cervical Hemorrhage with Upper Airway Obstruction: A Life-Threatening Condition
Several are the causes of cervical masses and among them a spontaneous hemorrhage presents a rare and life-threatening condition. Sometimes hemorrhage develops from a previous silent neck lesion as in the case of an anaplastic thyroid carcinoma associated with bleeding. We present two cases: a 70-year-old woman suffering from enlarging cervical mass causing respiratory distress because of upper...
متن کاملLife-threatening Airway Obstruction: An Unusual Presentation of a Cervical Mass During Infancy
Received September 5, 2005 Abstract Cervical masses during infancy are almost always benign. The more common differential diagnoses include congenital malformations of the vascular or lymphatic systems, remnants of the branchial arches, sternocleidomastoid tumour of infancy, and lymphadenitis. Benign tumours such as dermoid cysts or teratomas are uncommon, and malignant lesions are extremely ra...
