In this clinical trial 100 children less than 4 years old,who had  underwent non-pharyngeal surgeries in Kerman university hospitals were selected randomly and investigated for early airway complications after tracheal extubation.patients were divided into two groups:the first group(n=50) were extubated while they were still anesthetised and the second group(n=50) were extubated after regaining...

PURPOSE When tracheal intubation is required in a patient with an uncollapsible tracheal stenosis, the tip of the tube is usually positioned proximal to the stenosis. Only the tip of the tube may be in the trachea and the tube can be dislodged. We report the successful airway management of a patient with an uncollapsible tracheal stenosis who underwent cranial surgery in the prone position. C...

BACKGROUND Tracheal rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication that most commonly occurrs after blunt trauma to the chest, but which may also complicate tracheal intubation. We report a case of post-intubation tracheal rupture after cataract surgery under general anesthesia treated conservatively. CASE PRESENTATION Four hours after extubation, a 67 year-old woman developed subcutaneo...

background: sore throat is one of the major complications of tracheal intubation after general anesthesia. harpagophytum is an herbal medicine, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of which have been demonstrated in various studies. we studied the effects of single dose harpagophytum one hour before tracheal intubation, to prevent the sore throat after extubation. methods: in a randomize...

Aims/Objectives They contain two lesions: anomaly and stenosis. They may associate with other congenital lesions especially pulmonary artery sling. Tracheal stenosis is the main factor causing airway obstruction. Depend on the degree of tracheal stenosis, clinical manifestation ranges from having some episodes of stridor to severe respiratory failure and death. Reconstruction surgery is the met...

Intravenous lignocaine (1.5 mg kg-1) was evaluated in patients undergoing intraocular surgery as a means of preventing the rise in intraocular pressure which accompanies tracheal intubation. In patients given either suxamethonium or pancuronium to facilitate tracheal intubation, lignocaine pretreatment conferred no benefit over placebo in preventing the intraocular hypertensive response.

BACKGROUND Residual paralysis associated with the use of long-acting muscle relaxants can delay recovery from anesthesia and surgery. The authors tested the hypothesis that use of shorter-acting neuromuscular blocking agents is associated with reductions in tracheal extubation times and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. ...

Tracheal transplantation remains a challenge for General Thoracic Surgery. A large number of surgical techniques and implantable devices has been tested with poor results. In spite of that, some recent findings on tracheal revascularization and graft epithelial replacement have renewed the interest on tracheal transplantation, with special attention to graft bioengineering. However, in order to...

Focal non-neoplastic stenoses of the trachea are uncommon and many of these are complications of either endotracheal intubation or placement of tracheostomy tube. The pathogenesis of post-intubation tracheal stenoses (PITS) may be related to multiple factors (infection due to bacterial colonization, meccanical irritation, hypotension, gastroesophageal reflux, underlying illness), but the ischem...
