Ultrasound observation of tissue fluid infiltration causing stridor in a woman undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
نویسنده
چکیده
Respiratory stridor developed rapidly during an interscalene brachial plexus block for shoulder arthroscopy in an obese woman. Extensive cervicothoracic edema due to tissue diffusion of the arthroscopic fluid was suspected. The outcome of patient after conservative management was satisfactory. We give a brief review of how this complication develops, the ultrasound findings, and briefly discuss similar cases.

Fluid gain during routine shoulder arthroscopy.
The objective of this study was to asses the physiological impact of fluid gained during routine shoulder arthroscopy. Included in this study were 40 consecutive patients undergoing an arthroscopic procedure of the shoulder. The weight, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and physiologic observations were compared pre- and postsurgery and correlated to the duration of the procedure and the amount of fluid ...
متن کاملFenestrated cannulae with outflow reduces fluid gain in shoulder arthroscopy.
UNLABELLED Soft tissue fluid retention is a common problem after arthroscopy, with as much as 2% of patients having complications develop. A fenestrated outflow cannula has been introduced to reduce interstitial swelling. We tested the ability of this outflow cannula design to reduce fluid weight gain. We enrolled 28 patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy and randomized them into two groups u...
متن کاملTracheal Compression during Prolonged Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery under General Anesthesia
Several earlier reports have described life – threatening airway obstruction during arthroscopic shoulder surgery performed under regional anesthesia, caused by the leakage of irrigation fluid out of the shoulder joint space into the surrounding soft tissues, neck, pharynx and upper airway. Here, we present the case of a 32yearold male in whom the use of general anesthesia with endotracheal int...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided interscalene block anesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy: a prospective study of 1319 patients.
BACKGROUND Ultrasound guidance improves the localization of anesthetic placement during regional anesthesia, but a decreased rate of adverse events has not been demonstrated in the current literature. In this large prospective study, we evaluated the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction associated with ultrasound-guided interscalene block. METHODS A cohort of 1319 patients undergoing ar...
متن کاملStridor due to an unsuspected parathyroid cyst in a thirty-two-year-old woman with goiter.
Parathyroid cysts are rare and can be difficult to diagnose, as they can be mistaken for thyroid cysts. Parathyroid cysts are of clinical relevance, as they can cause dysphagia, odynophagia, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and hyperparathyroidism. Here, we report an unusual young patient who developed stridor due to expansion of a large right parathyroid cyst that was initially thought to be a...
