Transient unilateral combined paresis of the hypoglossal nerve and lingual nerve following intubation anesthesia.
Nerve damage may occur in the pharyngolaryngeal region during general anesthesia. The most frequently injured nerves are the hypoglossal, lingual and recurrent laryngeal. These injuries may arise in association with several factors, such as laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation and tube insertion, cuff pressure, mask ventilation, the triple airway maneuver, the oropharyngeal airway, manner of i...
متن کاملOrotracheal Intubation Using the Retromolar Space: A Reliable Alternative Intubation Approach to Prevent Dental Injury
Despite recent advances in airway management, perianesthetic dental injury remains one of the most common anesthesia-related adverse events and cause for malpractice litigation against anesthesia providers. Recommended precautions for prevention of dental damage may not always be effective because these techniques involve contact and pressure exerted on vulnerable teeth. We describe a novel app...
متن کاملOlfactory nerve recovery following mild and severe injury and the efficacy of dexamethasone treatment.
To investigate factors that influence the degree of neural regeneration and recovery, we studied 2 olfactory nerve injury models. Transection of the olfactory nerves along the surface of the olfactory bulb was performed in OMP-tau-lacZ mice using either a flexible Teflon blade (mild injury) or a stainless steel blade (severe injury). Histological assessment of recovery within the olfactory bulb...
متن کامل[Bilateral mandibular nerve injury following mask ventilation: a case report].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nerve injury following mask ventilation is a rare but serious anesthetic complication. The majority of reported cases are associated with excessive pressure applied to the face mask, long duration of mask ventilation, excessive digital pressure behind the mandible to relieve airway obstruction and pressure exerted by the plastic oropharyngeal airway. CASE REPORT We p...
متن کاملBilateral vocal cord paralysis following endotracheal intubation.
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis following endotracheal intubation is an uncommon cause of respiratory obstruction. We report one case, adding to ten previously identified. We dissected eight human cadaver larynges and noted the path of the anterior ramus of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. It appeared to be particularly vulnerable to compression injury as it passed between the arytenoid cartilage ...
