Bilateral Adductor Vocal Cord Palsy: Complication of Prolonged Intraoperative Hypotension after Endotracheal Intubation.
Endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia is usually a safe procedure. However, postoperative sore throat and mild hoarseness may occur due to laryngeal edema but bilateral vocal cord paralysis as a result of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is a rare complication. We report a case of bilateral adductor vocal cord palsy following general anesthesia for abdominal surgery. Clinical presentat...
متن کاملDelayed bilateral vocal cord paresis after a continuous interscalene brachial plexus block and endotracheal intubation
RATIONALE Recurrent laryngeal nerve block is an uncommon complication that can occur after an interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB), which may lead to vocal cord palsy or paresis. However, if the recurrent laryngeal nerve is blocked in patients with a preexisting contralateral vocal cord palsy following neck surgery, this may lead to devastating acute respiratory failure. Thus, ISB is contra...
متن کاملTapia's syndrome following cervical laminoplasty -A case report-
Tapia's syndrome is the palsy of the 10th and 12th cranial nerves, resulting in ipsilateral paralysis of the vocal cord and tongue. It is a rare complication which is related to the anesthetic airway management and positioning of the patient's head during the surgery. We describe a patient with a postoperative unilateral Tapia's syndrome, after general anesthesia, with uncomplicated endotrachea...
متن کاملHemodynamic Changes Following Endotracheal Intubation in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Section With General Anesthesia: Application of Glidescope® Videolaryngoscope Versus Direct Laryngoscope
BACKGROUND Endotracheal intubation is usually associated with hemodynamic changes, especially in patients undergoing cesarean section by general anesthesia. GlideScope® videolaryngoscope (GVL) is a novel video laryngoscope, which does not need direct exposure of vocal cords and produces lesser hemodynamic changes due to lower degrees of trauma and stimuli to oropharynx than the Macintosh direct...
متن کاملPersistant dysphonia following endotracheal intubation.
Voice production is a complex process that involves more than one system, yet most causes of dysphonia are attributed to disturbances in the laryngeal structures and little attention is paid to extralaryngeal factors. Persistent dysphonia after general anesthesia is a challenge to both anesthesiologists and otolaryngologists. The etiology is often multivariable and necessitates a team approach ...
