[A retrospective study of air embolism during neurosurgery in the sitting position].
Two patients undergoing posterior fossa exploration in the sitting position for removal of foramen magnum meningiomata suffered circulatory arrest from air embolism. Both were successfully resuscitated. The mechanism of air embolism is discussed with a review of relevant literature. The disadvantages of spontaneous ventilation are emphasized and it is recommended that controlled positive-positi...
متن کاملPercutaneous renal biopsy in the sitting position.
Percutaneous renal biopsy is now accepted as a useful diagnostic tool, with wvell-defined indications, risks, and limitations. Most commonly employed is the technique described by Kark and Muehrcke (1954) in which the patient lies prone across a sandbag throughout the procedure, so that the kidney is "fixed " against the posterior parietes and is therefore more easily entered by the biopsy need...
متن کاملPrevention of venous air embolism in paediatric neurosurgical procedures performed in the sitting position by combined use of MAST suit and PEEP.
We studied 60 children undergoing neurosurgical procedures in the sitting position. Routine monitoring included ECG, pulse oximetry, invasive arterial pressure, in particular mean arterial pressure (MAP), and right atrial pressure (RAP). Children were allocated to two groups. In group B lower body positive pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) were used for preventing venous air ...
متن کاملEffect of positive end-expiratory pressure on the incidence of venous air embolism and on the cardiovascular response to the sitting position during neurosurgery.
We have studied prospectively the effect of 10 cm H2O of PEEP on the incidence of venous air embolism and on the cardiovascular response to change from the supine to the seated position in a large neurosurgical population. Patients were allocated randomly to receive either PEEP (10 cm H2O, n = 45) or conventional (control, n = 44) ventilation. Cardiovascular and respiratory variables were measu...

method of slaughter was to pass a rope around the legs, then to throw the animal suddenly by twisting the head and neck round by the horns while a second man tripped the legs with a strong bamboo, and once down, the animal would be kept on its side, the four limbs secured tightly together and the twisted neck cut down upon with a sharp knife (halal) until the carotids 011 the two sides were sev...
