 It presents orthostatic hypotension associated with severe headache, nausea vomiting. We report case pneumocephalus following anaesthesia administered for open hernia repair.
 The proposed mechanisms secondary to tapping are t...

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is strongly associated with obesity, particularly abdominal obesity common in centrally obese males. Previous studies have demonstrated that intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is increased in morbid obesity, and tracheal traction forces may influence pharyngeal airway collapsibility. This study aimed to investigate that whether IAP plays a role in the mechanism of...
