conclusions despite the fact that anesthesia in chronic liver disease is a scary and pretty challenging condition for every anesthesiologist, this hazard could be diminished by meticulous attention on optimizing the patient’s condition preoperatively and choosing appropriate anesthetic regimen and drugs in this setting. although there are paucity of statistics and investigations in this specifi...

The laryngeal mask airway has become one of the major tools of modern anesthesia airway management. Despite the fact that no time limit has been recommended regarding its safe use in spontaneously breathing children, or adults, there is still reluctance to use the laryngeal mask airway in operations of long duration. We report the case of an uneventful 5-hour long laryngeal mask anesthesia in a...

Modern anesthetic agents have allowed for the rapid expansion of ambulatory surgery, particularly in hand surgery. The choice between general anesthesia, peripheral regional blocks, regional intravenous anesthesia (Bier block), local block with sedation, and the recently popularized wide-awake hand surgery depends on several variables, including the type and duration of the procedure and patien...

There is a growing interest in applying techniques of low flow anesthesia in different groups of surgical patients. Numerous studies confirm the benefits of low flow anesthesia in comparison to anesthesia with high flow, whereby its limitation and disadvantages have been addressed. The main advantages of low-flow anesthesia techniques involve three areas: pulmonary-anesthesia with low fresh gas...

Mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients in the operating room can be challenging. Even small changes in delivered volume can be a significant percentage of the desired volume and lead to unintended hyperor hypoventilation, or even barotrauma. Modern anesthesia ventilators offer a selection of ventilation modes that approach the capabilities of an intensive care ventilator. Although the ICU...

Pediatric anesthesia is large part of clinical practice. Children, parents and anesthesiologists fear because the risk acute morbidity mortality. Modern in otherwise healthy children above 1 year age developed countries has become very safe due to recent advance pharmacology, intensive education, training as well centralization care. In contrast, these low-income associated with a high mortalit...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This editorial review summarizes the current anesthetic management of patients with anterior mediastinal masses. RECENT FINDINGS With increased appreciation of the correct intraoperative management of these cases severe intraoperative respiratory or cardiovascular collapse is less likely to occur during general anesthesia. Maintenance of spontaneous ventilation is the anesth...
