Role of inhaled levosimendan in peripartum cardiomyopathy
Parminder Kaur, Tanveer S KundraSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia 2022 16(4):500-503
Levosimendan is an inodilator agent, which was initially widely used in low contractility states. However, its use has been restricted because of the invariable need to use a vasoconstrictor like norepinephrine, since it causes a marked fall in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Hence its beneficial effects on the heart are compromised by the excessive fall in SVR. The inhalational route provides a better opportunity to exploit the positive cardiac effects, with a minimal effect on SVR. In this case report, we present a postpartum patient pre...

Single continuous erector spinae plane block for multiple rib, clavicle, and scapula fractures: A case report
Carlos Almeida, Emília Francisco, Pedro Cunha, Lígia Vieira, Pedro AntunesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia 2022 16(4):497-499
The aim of this study is to describe the ability of a continuous erector spinae plane (ESP) block to provide analgesia in an extended territory (brachial plexus and thoracic nerves) with a single catheter. A continuous ESP block at T4 was performed in a 74-year-old man, two days after trauma involving clavicle, scapula, and multiple posterior rib fractures (first to ninth). The technique was maintained for 12 days and provided effective analgesia not only to the thoracic region ...

Incidental finding of severe hyperkalemia in a patient with end-stage renal disease during video-assisted lung lobectomy: A case report
Wen-Hau Hsu, Chia-Hao Ho, Tzu-Yu Lin, Chia-Ying ChangSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia 2022 16(4):494-496
Patients with end-stage renal disease are at risk of developing hyperkalemia and acidosis, both of which have disastrous sequelae during elective video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer. Herein, we present a case where severe hyperkalemia and combined acidosis were incidentally found in a 68-year-old man with the end-stage renal disease after establishing one-lung ventilation during video-assisted lobectomy. There was no significant instability of vital signs, abnormality of perioperative electrocardiography, or ma...

Anesthetic management of primary cardiac tumor in the coronary sinus and right atrium
Ayu Yamada, Ikuko Miyawaki, Hiroyuki MimaSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia 2022 16(4):488-490
The patient presented with complete atrioventricular block and dyspnea. They had a primary cardiac tumor originating in the coronary sinus, a rare site of origin. It filled the sinus and involved the right atrium. The patient might have presented with complete atrioventricular block due to tumor invasion and respiratory distress due to elevated LVEDP as the tumor filled the coronary sinus. As for anesthesia management, in addition to the usual management, we observed CS obstruction and also considered myocardial protection methods. It...

Differential diagnosis of intraoperative cardiac arrest after spine surgery in prone position
Davi Brasil Khouri, Marina Ayres Delgado, Jadson Lardy Lemes, Marcela Morais Afonso CruzSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia 2022 16(4):485-487
Intraoperative cardiac arrest is one of the most feared events by anesthesiologists and surgeons. Although there are many possible causes, three differential diagnoses stand out in the presented scenario: pulmonary embolism, gas embolism, and acute myocardial infarction. A 61-year-old female patient was admitted in the hospital to C2-C5 arthrodesis. Despite no major bleeding during surgery, immediately after supination the patient developed refractory hypotension, a decrease in end tidal ...
