background the anesthesia planning is an important and determining factor in the amount of intraoperative hemorrhage, which can affect the rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications. objectives in this study we used two different anesthesia techniques in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess) and compared the amount of hemorrhage in the two groups. patients and methods in a sing...

The Western world has been polio-free for decades; however, many are affected by the stigmata of polio in several countries, including India. While general anesthesia (GA) and subarachnoid block (SAB) have used successfully widely, all those cases were mostly done with relatively older drugs without additives. Therefore, further literature is needed to note effect newer anesthetic agents on pos...

BACKGROUND The use of an awake craniotomy in the treatment of supratentorial lesions is a challenge for both patients and staff in the operation theater. OBJECT To assess the safety and effectiveness of an awake craniotomy with brain mapping in comparison with a craniotomy performed under general anesthesia. METHODS We prospectively compared 2 groups of patients who underwent surgery for su...

the risk of life-threatening complications during induction of anesthesia in patients with anterior mediastinal mass is well recognized. maintenance of spontaneous ventilation during anesthesia is an accepted standard goal in all published reports. however, the decision to paralyze the patient, which is really needed in most surgical procedures, is still a challenging event. in this study, “man...

A 42-year-old man with neck squamous cell carcinoma underwent awake fiberoptic intubation and tumor resection under general anesthesia. He developed malignant hyperthermia several hours into the surgical procedure. This case highlights hyperthermia’s (MH) variable time course, pathognomonic signs, need for rapid diagnosis treatment. Early recognition treatment led to resolution of MH. Ongoing d...

Central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS) following general anesthesia (GA) is a well known syndrome in children and adults. Many cases of CAS have been previously reported in the literature. However, there are only two reports of post resuscitation CAS after administration of small doses of atropine. Hereby, we report a case of CAS in a child undergoing complete dental restoration under GA after ...

A 14-year-old competitive gymnast presented for a left distal femur epiphysiodesis. She had previously sustained a right femur fracture and was noted to have asymptomatic NSVT perioperatively, which improved while under general anesthesia (GA). Holter monitor showed NSR with uniform ventricular ectopy occurring 30% of the time, including during sleep. Echocardiography was normal and exercise te...

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a human genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and physical abnormalities including broad thumbs, big and broad toes, short stature, and craniofacial anomalies. The oral manifestations include small oral opening, pouting lower lip, retro/micrognathia. and higher arched, narrow palate. The purpose of this case report was to demonstrate the complic...

General anesthesia (GA) has been used for second line treatment strategy for status asthmaticus in pediatric patients. The association between GA in children and risk of followed-up allergic diseases is unclear. This study aims to assess the risk of allergic diseases after GA in children.We did a nationwide retrospective cohort study by analyzing data from the National Health Insurance Research...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between general (GA), regional (RA), and local (LA) anesthetic techniques with respect to the development of delirium after vascular surgery. The authors hypothesized that patients undergoing GA for vascular surgery would have a higher incidence of postoperative delirium. The role of LA with respect to postoperative delirium...
