Introduction: Patients with heart diseaseoften do not get adequate surgical interventions because doctors fear the complications that may develop after the use of vasoconstrictors in local anesthetics. The purposeof the study is to determine the kind ofinfluence that Adrenalin has in the local anesthetic Unistesin in outpatient service of surgical patients that suffer from controlled forms of h...

CONTEXT Liver plays an important role in metabolism and physiological homeostasis in the body. This organ is unique in its structure and physiology. So it is necessary for an anesthesiologist to be familiar with various hepatic pathophysiologic conditions and consequences of liver dysfunction. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION WE SEARCHED MEDLINE (PUB MED, OVID, MD CONSULT), SCOPUS AND THE COCHRANE DATABA...

BACKGROUND The Low Flow Wizard (LFW) provides real-time guidance for user optimization of fresh gas flow (FGF) settings during general inhaled anesthesia. The LFW can continuously inform users whether it determines their FGF to be too little, efficient, or too much, and its color-coded recommendations respond in real time to changes in FGF performed by users. Our study objective was to determin...

Achondroplasia is the commonest form of dwarfism and possesses multiple anesthetic challenges ranging from securing intravenous line, monitoring and calculating drug dosage to abnormalities of the airway, spine, thoracic cage, and obesity, cardiopulmonary and neurological system. Multiple case reports describing neuraxial anaesthesia, particularly in obstetrics patients are available but there ...

Each year over 75,000 pregnant women in the United States undergo nonobstetric surgery. The operations include those directly related to pregnancy, such as cerclage, those indirectly related to pregnancy, such as ovarian cystectomy, and those unrelated to gestation, such as appendectomy. When a pregnant woman presents for surgery, it is a stressful event for everyone involved. Issues about the ...

Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of inherited rare skin disease, characterized by bullae formation in the skin or mucous membranes. The fundamental abnormality is collagen degeneration leads to splitting of various epidermal layers. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is one of the major forms of epidermolysis bullosa. These patients often admitted to the hospital for corrective surgeries, c...

Some complications can arise with the usage of local anesthesia for dental procedures, including the fracture of needles in the patient. This is a rare incident, usually caused by the patient's sudden movements during anesthetic block. Its complications are not common, but can include pain, trismus, inflammation in the region, difficulty in swallowing, and migration of the object, which is the ...

General anesthesia may be necessary for patients with significant disease processes such as renal disease or hepatic disease. A basic understanding of the effects of general anesthetics on these organs and the anticipated problems of renal and hepatic impairment on the anesthetic process is necessary to optimize conditions for patients with renal or hepatic disease. Patient preparation, drug se...

Advances in technology have provided the means to reduce the length of stay for some surgical patients while offering increased quality of care. Videoscopic surgery is a rapidly expanding technology with increasing applications. When used in place of open thoracotomy, thoracoscopy offers the patient a less traumatic treatment modality. This procedure presents challenges to the anesthetist in ch...
