Malfunction of an adjustable pressure limit valve.
EDITOR: We report the malfunction of an adjustable pressure limit (APL) valve on a KION (Siemens, SiemensElema AB, Solna, Stockholm, Sweden) anaesthesia workstation which occurred twice. The first time, the malfunction was detected during the pre-use manual check, but not by the automatic self-check. The second time, the malfunction occurred intermittently during ventilation of a patient but it...
متن کاملUse of a fiberoptic bronchoscope adapter during jet ventilation.
Dr. Krensavage and Mr. Richards describe “sudden development of anesthesia circuit obstruction by an end-tidal CO, cap in the gas sampling elbow” in their letter in the July issue of Anesthesia & Analgesza (1). They recommend dismantling the elbow from the circuit tubing and performing a visual inspection of the tubing. This may not be necessary. A technique that I have used and taught for year...
متن کاملProgrammable valve shunts: are they really better?
Programmable valve shunts allows selection of opening pressure of shunt valve. In the presented article, a unique complication pertaining to programmable shunts has been discussed. A 5-year-old boy who had tectal plate low grade glioma with obstructive hydrocephalus was managed with Codman programmable ventriculoperitoneal shunt. There was a spontaneous change in the opening ...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Lumbar Tapping Utilization for Suspected Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Under-Drainage Malfunctions
OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of shunt malfunction can be challenging since neuroimaging results are not always correlated with clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a simple, minimally invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lumbar tapping test that predicts shunt under-drainage in hydrocephalus patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiol...
متن کاملIs it possible to optimize treatment of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus by implanting an adjustable Medos Hakim valve in combination with a Miethke shunt assistant?
A better course of the disease after implantation of a low-pressure valve in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus normally comes at the cost of a distinctly higher rate of overdrainage. Can combining an adjustable valve with a gravity unit produce optimization of treatment results? In a prospective observation of the course of the disease, 18 patients with idiopathic normal pr...
