A 74-year-old man, receiving home oxygen therapy (HOT), required tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation because of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced pneumonia. Tracheostomy was additionally performed. One month later, he had recovered from pneumonia and the tracheostomy tube was withdrawn, allowing the patient to be discharged. One month after discharge, the pat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Neuromuscular blockers (NMB) are widely used in pediatric anesthesia, but there is no ideal NMB. This study aimed at evaluating onset and recovery time, hemodynamic changes and tracheal intubation conditions of rocuronium, atracurium and mivacurium in pediatric patients. METHODS Participated in this study 67 children aged 30 months to 12 years, physical status ASA I ...

We used combined Mongomery T-stent and Hood stent in a long segment (11 cm), benign tracheal stenosis after treatment with a standard Mongomery T-stent failed. Respiratory and phonation function was restored immediately after the procedure. The patient became pregnant 2 months later. Her baby was born at full-term with a smooth vaginal delivery. She was in good health 18 months after the operat...

a-56-year-old woman underwent carpal tunnel release surgery under general anesthesia. thirty minutes after extubation, the patient complained of chest discomfort with dyspnea. swelling of the neck and upper anterior chest was observed. computed tomography of the chest showed tracheal rupture at the brachiocephalic trunk level, and bronchoscopy demonstrated a 5 cm linear tracheal defect in the p...

background: muscle relaxant agents usually use to facilitate tracheal intubation; however, sometimes limitations exist. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a candidate for muscle relaxant substitute. this study was designed to determine the effect of mg sulfate accompanied with propofol and fentanyl in patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. materials and methods: in a double?blind randomized protocol an...
