Anaesthetists' management of oxygen pipeline failure: room for improvement.
Oxygen pipeline failure is a rare but potentially catastrophic event which can affect the care of patients throughout an entire hospital. Anaesthetists play a critical role in maintaining patient safety, and should be prepared to support an institution-wide emergency response if oxygen failure occurs. We tested the preparedness for this through observation of 20 specialist anaesthetists to a st...
متن کاملOxygen contamination of the nitrous oxide pipeline supply.
Midogas (CIG Australia) nitrous oxide/oxygen blenders are commonly used in delivery wards in Australia. In this case report we describe an incident where a small hole in the diaphragm of the oxygen failure alarm in a Midogas nitrous oxide/oxygen blender led to retrograde flow of oxygen contaminating the nitrous oxide pipeline supply to the operating theatres and the delivery ward. This caused a...
متن کاملPersistent Aneurysm Growth Following Pipeline Embolization Device Assisted Coiling of a Fusiform Vertebral Artery Aneurysm: A Word of Caution!
The complex morphology of vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms makes them one of the most challenging lesions treated by neurointerventionists. Different management strategies in the past included parent vessel occlusion with or without extra-intracranial bypass surgery and endovascular reconstruction by conventional stents. Use of flow diversion has emerged as a promising alternative option with...
متن کاملFatal Basilar Aneurysm Rupture 6 Months Following Pipeline Flow Diversion Treatment
The introduction of flow diverters represents a major paradigm shift in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms from deconstructive, endosaccular, aneurysm treatment to reconstructive, endoluminal, diseased parent vessel treatment. The theoretical concept of flow diversion (FD) technology relies on the ability offlowdiverters to induce a change in arterial and intra-aneurysmal hemo...
متن کاملBalloon Anchor Technique for Pipeline Embolization Device Deployment Across the Neck of a Giant Intracranial Aneurysm
Treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms, via either surgical or endovascular approaches, is associated with a high level of technical difficulty as well as a high rate of treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Flow-diverting stents, such as the Pipeline embolization device (PED), have drastically altered the therapeutic strategies for the treatment of giant aneurysms. Gaining endovascular...
