Anesthetic management for a patient with severe mento-sternal contracture: difficult airway and scarce venous access -A case report-
There are many problems in the anesthetic management of patients with scar contracture. In this case, a 41-year-old male with severe scar contracture on his face, neck, anterior chest, and both shoulders underwent surgery for resurfacing with flaps. We tried to awake fiberoptic orotracheal intubation with GlideScope® Video laryngoscope guide after surgical release of contracture under local ane...
متن کاملThe Lateral Position Improved Airway Patency in Anesthetized Patient With Burn-Induced Cervico-Mento-Sternal Scar Contracture
A 78-year-old woman with burn-induced cervico-mento-sternal scar contracture was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During inhalational induction of sevoflurane, her airway patency deteriorated. The right lateral position and assist ventilation using a breathing bag dramatically improved her airway patency.

متن کاملTreatment modalities in severe mento-sternal synechia.
OBJECTIVE Scar contracture of the neck after a burn-injury can cause both functional and aesthetic problems, and still presents a challenge for plastic surgeons. The anatomic area and adjacent structures such as the lower lip, trachea and neuro-vascular structures which are affected by the scar make treatment diffucult. Scarring and contracture of the neck region may severely limit function, ca...
متن کاملPrimary management of post-burn contracture neck with tracheostomy: A surgeon and an anaesthetist's perspective
Figure 1: Pre-operative photograph of the patient showing severe post-burn contracture of the neck We use a simple technique to reliably splint the arm away from the body. A small pillow is folded and is anchored to the forearm and the hand with paper plasters [Figure 1a]. The paper plaster makes sure that, though loosely plastered around the forearm, it prevents movements of the padding from i...
