ALBUMIN EXTRAVASATION DURING SURGERY

Ethiodol extravasation during sialography.

Leakage of albumin in major abdominal surgery.

BACKGROUND The time course of plasma albumin concentration (P-alb) and cumulative perioperative albumin shift as a measure of albumin extravasation in major abdominal surgery is not well described. Knowledge of these indices of the vascular barrier and vascular content are important for our understanding of fluid physiology during surgery and anesthesia. METHODS Patients (n = 10) were studied...

Teicoplanin pharmacokinetics during albumin dialysis

Teicoplanin (TP) pharmacokinetics was assessed in a critically ill patient during albumin dialysis (AD), which was performed with the molecular adsorbent recirculating system. After a 1200-mg loading dose (24 mg/kg), doses of 1200 and 1000 mg (20 mg/kg) on day 2 and 3, respectively, were administered during two cycles of AD. The mean TP peak and trough concentrations amounted to 99.3 and 21.4 µ...

Mannitol extravasation during partial nephrectomy leading to forearm compartment syndrome.

We present the first known complication of forearm compartment syndrome after mannitol infusion during partial nephrectomy. We stress the importance of excellent intravenous catheter access and constant visual monitoring of the intravenous catheter site during and after mannitol infusion as ways to prevent this complication. Prompt recognition of compartment syndrome with appropriate interventi...

Forearm extravasation injury during robot-assisted low anterior resection

provided the original work is properly cited. CC A 47-year-old female with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I was scheduled for robot-assisted low anterior resection and right hepatectomy. Her routine preoperative examination results were unremarkable. Standard monitoring devices were applied in the operating room, including a noninvasive blood pressure monitoring sys...
