Anesthesia and Multidisciplinary Team Management throughout the Exit Procedure and Excision of a Huge Congenital Cervical Teratoma: A Case Report

Turki Almalki, Muteb AlOtaibi, Mohamed A Daabiss, Sohil Imran and Basmah kaabi

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/04/14

The EXIT procedure, or Ex-Utero intrapartum treatment, is a specialized intervention conducted alongside a cesarean section. This approach aims to maintain fetal-placental circulation, ensuring secure management of fetal airways and minimizing the risk of airway obstruction during delivery....

Demographic Profile and Incidence of Residual Neuromuscular Blockade with the Use of Rocuronium and Sugammadex in Oncological Patients in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room

Donn-Thell Frewyd Sawntzy Junior, Antônio Roberto Marques Lima, Caroline Olinda de Souza Pitoli, Gaya Amanda Said Barbosa Lima, Mariam Lidemys Marin Montejo, Renata Larissa de Araújo Fernandes, André Renato Moura Barroso, Ivandete Coelho Pereira Pimentel and Mirlane Guimarães de Melo Cardoso

Neuromuscular blockers are drugs that provide safety for general anesthesia. However, when there is no spontaneous and complete return of normal neuromuscular function in the postoperative period, residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) may occur, which has a significant impact on airway physiology, increasing the risks of respiratory complications, including hypoxemia. Sugammadex is an agent that reverses the neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide through its selective encapsulation...

Implementation of Hemodynamic Management with the Hypotension Prediction Index during Elective Open Abdominal Aortic Surgery: A Pilot Observational Report

Enrico Giustiniano, MD, Fulvio Nisi, MD1, Francesco Gambino, MD, Romina Aceto, MSc, Manuel Ignacio Garcia Monge, MD and Maurizio Cecconi, FRCA, FFICM, MD

Article Type: Clinical Observational Study | First Published: 2024/03/22

Intra-operative hypotension (IOH) is associated with a poor post-operative outcome. Consequently, it seems important to reduce the incidence of hypotensive events during anesthesia. The HemosphereTM (Edwards Lifescience Co., Irwin, CA, USA) platform provides the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI), a predictive marker for a drop in blood pressure within a few minutes. We report the results of one year of application of a simple HPI-algorithm aiming at reducing the incidence of IOH in open abdomin...

Anaesthetic Management in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency Patient Posted for Total Knee Replacement: A Case Report

Medha Bhardwaj, MD, DNB, DM, Saurabh Mittal, MD, DNB, DM, Harsimran Kaur Buttar, MD and Gurjeet Khurana

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/03/01

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a most common hereditary genetic, X-linked defect of red blood cells (RBC) enzyme disorder in humans. Clinical manifestations commonly seen are neonatal jaundice, acute hemolytic or chronic non-spherocytic anemia. Acute hemolysis poses a perioperative challenge in management for anesthesiologists and the surgeons. Peripheral nerve block as well as general anaesthesia is a popular and safe anesthesia technique....

A Questionnaire-Based Survey of Perioperative Utilisation of Ultrasound among Anaesthesiology Residents

Pharanitharan Natarajan and Chandini Kukanti

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: 2024/02/29

Ultrasonography (USG) is a resourceful tool in the perioperative period. A structured training curriculum during residency can enhance the utilisation of USG among residents. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted to evaluate the utilisation of USG in the perioperative period and to assess the adequacy of current training. It was found that although the availability of USG has increased, its use in the perioperative period is limited due to various factors such as time constraints. The...

May Numbers be the Voice of Gods? - May Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Intelligence and Bring Man Back to the Future?

Enrico Giustiniano, MD and Fulvio Nisi, MD

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: 2024/01/19

Knowing the future has been a challenge for humans since the dawn of time. Divination or Mantics is an ancient practice based on the idea that humans could ask gods about the future, and it was practiced in two ways. First, a priest, directly in contact with the divinity, interpreted its objective signs. Second, the 'gods’ will manifest themselves in a more immediate way, through the words uttered by a human figure directly inspired by the god. In both cases, it was a leap of faith, with only ...

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES): An Unusual Presentation

Geetika Duggal, Ruchika Kathuria and Vibha Mehta

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: 2024/01/19

The first patient, a 20-year-old woman who underwent a caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia complained of a headache immediately after surgery and experienced a generalised tonic-clonic seizure 4 hours later. Vitals remained stable. Supplemental oxygen, midazolam, magnesium sulphate, levetiracetam, mannitol, furosemide, and steroids were used to treat the patient. The results of a brain MRI showed subcortical vasogenic edoema suggestive with PRES and bilaterally symmetrical areas of altere...
