For an active, ambulant patient with critical, lower limb ischemia, amputation can lead to a poor quality of life. A small group of older people with critical limb ischemia are considered at high risk for revascularization under conventional anesthesia owing to their comorbid conditions. In these cases, when endovascular therapy is not an option, the decision to amputate or revascularize presen...

Adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS) is a malignant salivary gland tumor without the histological characteristics of other tumors. It rarely occurs in small glands and development molar extremely rare. We report case adenocarcinoma NOS occurring retromolar pad. The patient was 75-year-old woman with protrusive 10 × 15 mm mass region. lesion elastic soft had an irregular surface. Biopsy ...

Anesthesia with diethyl ether significantly alters the course and outcome of experimental infections with the equine encephalomyelitis virus (Eastern or Western type) or with the St. Louis encephalitis virus. No comparable effect is observed in experimental infections produced with rabies or poliomyelitis (Lansing) viruses. The neurotropic virus infections altered by ether anesthesia are those ...

Despite the central role of general anesthesia in modern healthcare, the frequency of anesthesia-related morbidity resulting from the toxicity and non-specificity of anesthetic drugs remains high. Among the key behavioral states of general anesthesia is antinociception (reduced sensitivity to pain). Within the nociceptive pathway in the brain and the central nervous system, the periaqueductal g...

The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of microbial growth that develops on the anesthesia machine after a full day's use in the operating room. This descriptive bacteriology study is relevant to anesthesia practice because of the proximity of the oropharynx and multiple body fluids to anesthesia equipment and the potential for cross-contamination to patients and staff. The Wilco...

this survey investigates post general anesthesia complications in recovery room in patients undergoing elective surgery in one of the hospitals of iran university of medical sciences.

A case study is presented of a 40-year-old female who underwent an elective abdominoplasty with the administration of general endotracheal anesthesia. The intraoperative course was complicated by an unsuspected, undiagnosed bleed from a branching artery at the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta, first retroperitoneally, then into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal hemorrhage was unrelated to...

A 59-YEAR-OLD MAN with severe aortic stenosis presented for valve replacement surgery. After uncomplicated induction of anesthesia, an introducer was placed into the left internal jugular vein, through which a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) was easily directed into the pulmonary artery on the first attempt. The intraoperative course was uneventful. On postoperative day 1 in the intensive care ...
