Sudden Tracheal Collapse during EGD and Subsequent Anesthetic Management with Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine in a Patient with Achalasia and Tracheomalacia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a patient who experienced airway obstruction during an elective esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) under anesthesia secondary to previously undiagnosed tracheomalacia. Physiology of airway obstruction with forced breathing maneuvers is discussed along with the potential advantages of dexmedetomidine-ketamine sedation for management of patients with achalasia undergoing outpatient endoscopic procedures.

Update on dexmedetomidine: use in nonintubated patients requiring sedation for surgical procedures
Dexmedetomidine was introduced two decades ago as a sedative and supplement to sedation in the intensive care unit for patients whose trachea was intubated. However, since that time dexmedetomidine has been commonly used as a sedative and hypnotic for patients undergoing procedures without the need for tracheal intubation. This review focuses on the application of dexmedetomidine as a sedative ...
متن کاملUse of dexmedetomidine as the main anesthetic agent in patients with laryngo-tracheomalacia--a case report.
The successful use of Dexmedetomidine as the main anesthetic agent for three pediatric patients with tracheomalacia presenting for different kinds of urgent operations is described. Patients were kept spontaneously breathing without intubation during their whole procedures. Surgical conditions were adequate, and hemodynamic and respiratory profiles were within baseline limits.
متن کاملThe use of “High Dose” Dexmedetomidine in a Patient with Critical Tracheal Stenosis and Anterior Mediastinal Mass
Patients who present with an anterior mediastinal mass requiring surgical intervention continue to be a challenge for anesthetic care. The risk for airway and hemodynamic collapse during general anesthesia with inhaled agents complicates the management of these patients. Anesthetics that maintain spontaneous ventilation are optimal in this setting. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha2 agonist, w...
