Anesthetic Management of Patients With Anterior Mediastinal Masses Undergoing Chamberlain Procedure (Anterior Mediastinostomy)
Patients with mediastinal masses, particularly masses in the anterior or superior mediastinum present unique problems for the anesthesiologists which are during general anesthesia, which are usually the consequence of extrinsic compression of the airway, obstruction of the venous return or obstruction to the output of the heart (1-4). The aim of our study was to describe the anesthetic manageme...
full textAnesthetic considerations for patients with anterior mediastinal masses.
Anterior mediastinal tumors can cause severe airway and vascular compression, and these effects are exacerbated by general anesthesia. Tumor biopsy using a local anesthetic technique is preferable. General anesthesia for a biopsy procedure or resection of an anterior mediastinal mass should be undertaken only after a thorough preoperative assessment. Treatment protocols for surgery and anesthes...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To review the anesthetic management and perioperative course of children with an anterior mediastinal mass. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University-affiliated children's hospital. MEASUREMENTS The records of 46 children presenting with an anterior mediastinal mass between October 1, 1998 and October 1, 2006 were studied. Preoperative symptoms, diagnostic imaging an...
full textImaging of anterior mediastinal masses
Multiple different types of anterior mediastinal masses may be encountered on computed tomography (CT) imaging, and many of these lesions are neoplastic in etiology. These include masses arising from the thymus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, as well as lymph nodes, pericardium, and vessels and nerves. Often, the CT attenuation of the mass can be helpful in narrowing down the differential diag...
full textThe anaesthetic management of children with anterior mediastinal masses.
Children with anterior mediastinal masses may experience serious complications during general anaesthesia. We retrospectively surveyed the records of children with an anterior mediastinal mass who had been admitted to our hospital over a 7 year period. The presence of pre-operative symptoms or signs, findings of any special investigations performed and the anaesthetic outcome were noted. All ra...
full textFour cases of invasive anterior mediastinal tumors definitively diagnosed by the chamberlain procedure.
Percutaneous needle biopsy, commonly used for a definitive diagnosis of anterior mediastinal tumors, is sometimes inconclusive because of the small size of the biopsy specimens and the histologic heterogeneity of the tumors. We herein report 4 cases of invasive anterior mediastinal tumors, in which the definitive diagnosis was made using the Chamberlain procedure. [Case 1] A 33-year-old man was...
