Anaesthesia for Perfusion with Cytotoxic Drugs in Cancer of the Head and Neck.
نویسنده
چکیده
Tumours of the head and neck have been treated by a cytotoxic drug given via the arterial supply. A simple anaesthetic technique is described. Related problems are considered, such as difficulty in intubation, difficulty in assessing skin colour following the injection of dye, and acute respiratory obstruction after operation from reactionary oedema in the tumour. Indications for tracheostomy and the value of spontaneous respiration during intubation are mentioned.

متن کاملOropharyngeal candidiasis and resistance to antifungal drugs in patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer
BACKGROUND: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common infection in patient receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Accurate and rapid identification of candida species is very important in clinical laboratory, because the incidence of candidiasis continues to rise after radiotherapy. The genus Candida has about 154 species that show different level of resistance to antifungal drugs and hav...
