We present here the case of a 33-month-old male patient with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) and who underwent tympanoplasty and myringotomy. WHS is caused by a rare chromosomal abnormality, which is the deletion of the short arm of chromosome number 4. The typical craniofacial features of WHS patients such as micrognathia, microcephaly and the muscular weakness can make using neuromuscular bloc...

With the advent of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (RATT), increased surgical precision and resolution of symptoms has been observed for treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG). Compared to transsternalthymectomy, RATT results in less blood loss, better aesthetic sequelae, lower complications, less postoperative pain and decreased length of hospital stay [1-3]. Despite of this, the anesth...

Introduction Management of intermediate and long-term (more than 30 60 minutes) anesthetic procedures most commonly involves the use of inhalational anesthetic methods in many species. Over the last 40 years, this has become true also for equine anesthesia. The delivery of anesthetic drugs via the lungs offers some advantages in part caused by the pharmacokinetics of the volatile agents in clin...

their optimal clinical utilization. History and Principles Whereas inhaled anesthetics are useful for the induction of anesthesia, particularly in the absence of IV access as occurs commonly in pediatric anesthesia, IV anesthetics have become the primary agents for the induction of general anesthesia. The development of IV anesthetics followed the late 19th-century introduction of hollow needle...

When recovering from general anesthesia, upon removal of the endotracheal tube, patients may experience a high dynamic response in the circulatory system, along with choking and restlessness. This study was designed to study the effect of maintaining an intravenous infusion of remifentanil or propofol on the performance of general anesthesia, including on the cardiovascular response, choking an...

There is limited evidence showing that elevated arterial blood pressure in surgical patients may be associated with increased perioperative risk; however, cardiovascular instability frequently occurs during anesthesia. The most commonly used anesthetic agents, both intravenous and inhalation ones, produce a decrease in arterial blood pressure. Magnesium, acting as a natural calcium-channel bloc...

OBJECTIVE Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the standard therapy for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). In the immediate postoperative period, persistent pulmonary hypertension increases the risk of acute respiratory or right heart failure. In pulmonary arterial hypertension, prostanoid inhalation has been found to improve pulmonary hemodynamics, right ventricu...

Many deep learning–based computerized respiratory sound analysis methods have previously been developed. However, these studies focus on either lung only or tracheal only. The effectiveness of using a algorithm and vice versa is rarely reported. Furthermore, no one knows whether sounds together in training learning-based model beneficial. In this study, we first constructed database, HF_Trachea...

Background. Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the most common types surgeries in world. But optimal anesthesia management for this type orthopedic still debatable. The purpose study was to improve quality arthroscopic interventions on joint by introducing a personalized perioperative management. Materials and methods. One hundred forty-two patients aged 18–78 years, who underwent surgery, too...
