Blast injuries are divided into four classes, and inhalation a quaternary class of blast injuries. An injury can be critical to the patient due possibility related complications, such as airway obstruction resulting from upper edema pneumonia. Once diagnosed, an should treated with early intubation, aerosol therapy, antibiotics soon possible. We suspect this in circumstances involving fire espe...

INTRODUCTION We report data from the first Utstein-style study of physician-provided pre-hospital advanced airway management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anaesthesiologists from eight pre-hospital critical care teams in the Central Denmark Region (a mixed rural and urban region with 1.27 million inhabitants) prospectively registered data according to the template for reporting data from pre-hospita...

abstract background: the incidence of early wound related complications is assessed in laparoscopic versus open abdominal surgeries. complications of surgical wounds (esp. wound infections) are considered as a major problem in surgery wards. complications of surgical wounds are classified as early and late. common and early complications are hematoma, seroma and wound infection. methods: the me...

Obstetric anesthesia is one of the high risk subspecialties of anesthesia practice. Anesthesia related complications are the sixth leading cause of maternal mortality. Difficult or failed intubation following induction of general anesthesia for CS remains the major contributory factor to anesthesia-related maternal complications. The airway management of obstetric patients is a challenging issu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of complications in comparison with the benefits of tracheostomy in young pediatric burn patients (newborn to 3 years old). DESIGN Retrospective survey. SETTING Tertiary care burn center. PATIENTS A total of 1549 consecutive pediatric burn patients, of whom 180 were intubated. INTERVENTIONS Tracheostomy was performed in 76 children. MAIN OUTCOME MEA...

Nasotracheal intubation is frequently used for airway management during maxillofacial surgery. Complications such as haemorrhage occur more frequently with this route of intubation than with the orotracheal route. This case report describes a male patient aged 51 yr who developed severe epistaxis after the tube had passed the nares. As an additional complication laryngoscopy and endotracheal in...

Abstract Background Airway management by intubation is considered a major responsibility and vital skill for anaesthesiologists. Direct laryngoscopy endotracheal under vision continues to be the gold standard airway management. Though conventional done with Macintosh blade, it has its own drawbacks. The Airtraq™ tube/guide channelled video-laryngoscope can used in patients normal as well diffic...
