Abnormally low regional cerebral oxygen saturation after induction of anesthesia without neurological abnormality: A case report
Ann Card Anaesth. 2023 Oct-Dec;26(4):442-445. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_194_22.ABSTRACTMeasurement of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in cardiac surgery is known to be useful in reducing postoperative neurological complications. We here present a case of a 71-year-old man in whom severe decrease in unilateral rSO2 was observed after induction of general anesthesia for percutaneous mitral valve clipping, although no neurological abnormalities were found. NIRS does not always predict postoperative neurological complications.PMID:37861582 | PMC:PMC10691559 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_19...

Apnea management during WATCHMAN device deployment with apneic oxygenation: A case report of three cases
We present three cases in which apneic oxygenation was employed to maintain oxygenation during apnea, and oxygen reserve index (ORiTM) was measured to evaluate its safety and efficacy. Oxygen was administered continuously via the endotracheal tube during apnea. During all four apneic events in three patients (mean duration of 356 seconds), the ORi values maintained above 0.24, which is generally considered the threshold of partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) > 100 mmHg. Transcutaneous oxygen saturation and PaO2 remained above 99% and 300 mmHg, respectively. There were no respiratory or circulatory complications d...

Complex cyanotic congenital heart disease and cervical spine surgery: Ticking all the right boxes
Ann Card Anaesth. 2023 Oct-Dec;26(4):461-463. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_25_23.ABSTRACTAlthough complex congenital heart disease (CHD) patients usually present in childhood, it is not rare to see adults well past middle age. These patients undergo continuous pathophysiological changes in their heart and blood vessels, making anesthetic management more challenging if surgery is required. Herein, we report a case in which understanding the anatomy and pathophysiology helped optimally manage a patient with a double outlet right ventricle (DORV) who underwent plating and fixation for a hangman's fracture in the prone position.PMID:3...

The protekduo cannula for acute right ventricular support in thyrotoxicosis
Ann Card Anaesth. 2023 Oct-Dec;26(4):464-467. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_26_23.ABSTRACTA 25-year-old female was presented with acute right heart failure (aRHF) and cardiogenic shock secondary to thyrotoxicosis with concomitant acute respiratory failure. A ProtekDuo cannula was placed to provide temporary percutaneous right ventricular assistance and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in venopulmonary (V-P) configuration, which provided both decompression of the right ventricle (RV) and oxygenation. With treatment of the underlying thyrotoxicosis, the RV function improved and respiratory failure resolved. She was discharg...
