BACKGROUND: IgG4-related disease is a systemic fibroinflammatory disease that is mainly seen in older men, and involves multiple organs, such as the pancreas and lungs. However, 75% of patients with IgG4-related lung disease are asymptomatic (if they are symptomatic, they mainly complain of nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, chest pain, and cough) and are incidentally diagnosed through chest computed tomograph. Although, nodules in the airway and bronchial wall thickening are criteria for diagnosis, it is important that nodules have been reported in peripheral airways in several cases and rarely in the central airway...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pregnancy presents risks, particularly for women with pre-existing health problems. Pre-anaesthetic consultations can help anticipate these risks and establish a medical management strategy on the delivery day. While teleconsultations gained popularity during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, research on pre-anaesthetic teleconsultations during pregnancy is limited. This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction and physician perception of teleconsultations for third-trimester pre-anaesthetic consultations...

Endoscopic techniques are revolutionizing bariatric surgery because of the significant risks that obesity places on both anaesthesia and surgery. Due to the high number of long-term complications that may be associated with bariatric surgery, and the relative safety of endoscopy compared to operative management, endoscopic methods for reversal of previous bariatric techniques are becoming the favoured approach. We describe the use of an endoscopic stent to assist with endoscopic reversal of a modified Long vertical gastroplasty...

The aim of this study is to describe the anaesthesia management of two patients undergoing carinal resection under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). In both cases, anaesthesia was induced and then maintained with inhalational agents during pneumonectomy and mediastinoscopy (respectively). Then the jugular and femoral veins were cannulated and VV ECMO was started after heparinization. One of the patients presented bleeding during surgery, which was treated with low-dose vasopressors (norepinephrine) and transfusion of platelets, fresh frozen plasma, and concentrated red blood cells...

We describe a case of mandibular gingival carcinoma with hypercalcaemia and leukocytosis caused by tumour-derived parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). A 54-year-old man presented to our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a chief complaint of a left-sided mandibular gingival ulcer. A 42 mm × 20 mm sized ulcer was found on the left lower molar gingiva. Squamous cell carcinoma was pathologically diagnosed. The patient underwent a hemimandibulectomy, left-sided radical neck dissection, plate reconstruction, pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap reconstruction, and tracheostomy under general anaesthesia...

Organization of healthcare strongly differs between European countries and results in country-specific requirements in postgraduate medical training. Within the European Union (EU), the European Board of Anaesthesiology has set recommendations of training for the Specialty of Anaesthesiology including standards for Postgraduate Medical Specialist training including a description for providing service in pediatric anesthesia. However, these standards are advisory and not mandatory. Here we aimed to review the current state and associated challenges of pediatric anesthesia training in Europe...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a muscular dystrophy that can affect individuals of all age groups. Its prevalence is reported to be 0.4-1 in 10,000 people. Because of the low occurrence of FSHD, anaesthetic management is primarily based on expert opinions, case reviews, or brief series. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old woman with FSHD who underwent hip fracture (HF) surgery. To prevent respiratory compromise due to FSHD, we opted for lumbar-sacral plexus block. To the best of our knowledge, there is no information in the literature regarding the use of combined lumbar-sacral plexus block in patients with FSHD undergoing HF surgery...

The serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block is a novel technique recently described for thoracic analgesia. This study presents two cases using this technique for postoperative pain after mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. The SPSIP block was administered to the patients in the preoperative period as part of multimodal analgesia, and postoperative pain was monitored using the numeric rating scale (NRS). In both patients, the NRS pain scores were below 3/10. SPSIP provided adequate postoperative analgesia in these cases without the need for any opioid agents...

PURPOSE: Preventing the spread of pathogens in the anesthesia work area reduces surgical site infections. Improved cleaning reduces the percentage of anesthesia machine samples with ≥ 100 colony-forming units (CFU) per surface area sampled. Targeting a threshold of < 100 CFU when cleaning anesthesia machines may be associated with a lower prevalence of bacterial pathogens. We hypothesized that anesthesia work area reservoir samples returning < 100 CFU would have a low (< 5%) prevalence of pathogens...

Perioperative hypersensitivity reactions vary from mild to potentially fatal anaphylaxis, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Most of the perioperative hypersensitivity and allergic reactions are attributed to antibiotics, antiseptic solutions, latex, and opioids. In the current thrust for opioid-free anesthesia, owing to its multiple advantages, paracetamol and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents play a significant role in multi-modal pain and inflammatory response management. Nearly nine out of ten individuals experience postoperative pain, one-third experience postoperative nausea and vomiting, and one-fourth experience fever, irrespective of surgery and type of anesthesia, often as an inflammatory response...

A transient vision loss is not commonly encountered during the postoperative period following a caesarean section. Although numerous causes have been suggested for transient vision loss, when loss of vision is associated with seizures and headaches, the differential diagnoses include hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet syndrome, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), dural venous thrombosis, and central retinal arteriolar occlusion. We report a case of a 35-year-old patient who underwent an elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia and developed a headache followed by loss of vision and seizures during the postoperative period...

The 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists studied peri-operative cardiac arrest. An activity survey estimated UK paediatric anaesthesia annual caseload as 390,000 cases, 14% of the UK total. Paediatric peri-operative cardiac arrests accounted for 104 (12%) reports giving an incidence of 3 in 10,000 anaesthetics (95%CI 2.2-3.3 per 10,000). The incidence of peri-operative cardiac arrest was highest in neonates (27, 26%), infants (36, 35%) and children with congenital heart disease (44, 42%) and most reports were from tertiary centres (88, 85%)...

BACKGROUND: Local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur after local anaesthetic administration. Various clinical guidelines recommend an intravenous lipid emulsion as a treatment for local anaesthetic-induced cardiac arrest. However, its therapeutic application in pregnant patients has not yet been established. This scoping review aims to systematically identify and map the evidence on the efficacy and safety of intravenous lipid emulsion for treating LAST during pregnancy...

Neuraxial anesthesia in patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt devices has traditionally been associated with a high risk of complications. In order to gather all available evidence, a structured search was conducted to include published studies involving users of these devices, undergoing any form of neuraxial technique for obstetric or surgical procedures unrelated to them. Effectiveness of the technique and perioperative complications were assessed. Only case series and case reports (n = 72) were identified...

Anaesthesiologists commonly use intravenous labetalol to adjust patient haemodynamics during surgical procedures. Cases of profound hypotension after continuous labetalol infusions have been reported; however, there is limited evidence regarding the safety of intraoperative labetalol boluses. This audit examined the frequency of postoperative hypotension and bradycardia in 292 adult non-cardiac surgery patients treated with intraoperative labetalol boluses. Blood pressure and heart rate data were collected from the post-anaesthesia care unit and on the floor units for 24 hours after surgery...
