What Causes Pulmonary Edema?
Discussion Pulmonary edema is a potentially life threatening condition due to accumulation of excess fluid in the alveolar spaces and walls of the lung. Patients show increased respiratory effort or distress (e.g. tachypnea, dyspnea or difficulty talking, use of excessory muscles, nasal flaring, tracheal tugging, etc.) and clinicians should beware signs of tiring (e.g. bradypnea and decreased effort) as the patient may be failing. Patients may have rales or rhonchi on pulmonary examination, and pallor or color changes may be noted. Blood gas analysis shows evidence of hypoxemia and often hypercapnia depending on the severi...

Predictors for intraoperative heart failure in children undergoing foreign-body removal
This study aimed to determine the predictors for intraoperative heart failure (HF) in children undergoing foreign-body removal. The clinical data of all children with tracheobronchial foreign-body aspiration admitted to the First, Second, and Fourth Affiliated Hospitals of Harbin Medical University between January 1996 and September 2018 were analyzed. The variables with significant difference in univariate analysis were involved into the multivariate Logistic model to determine the predictors for intraoperative tachycardia. In total, 300 tracheobronchial foreign-body aspiration children were eligible for the study, among ...

Safety of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in the Elderly-Are Octogenarian Patients at a Higher Risk?
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, ESS was found to be a safe procedure in elderly patients compared to younger patients. Octogenarian patients should not be denied upfront surgery. IHD is a risk factor for complications in elderly patients.PMID:34236249 | DOI:10.1177/19458924211025374

Combination of Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sedation
Conclusions: The efficacy of DEX–KET sedation was comparable to that of midazolam for MRI examination. DEX–KET was related to shorter scan time and lower occurrence of complications compared to midazolam. Introduction Neurocritically ill patients often require brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in addition to conventional neurological evaluations. Brain MRI can reveal structural lesions with a high sensitivity due to its excellent spatial resolution and enhanced soft tissue contrast (1–3). To acquire MRI images, patients' cooperation is imperative. However, keeping patients with ...

General anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery
Publication date: Available online 25 November 2016 Source:Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine Author(s): Nicholas C.B. Pritchard Local anaesthesia for eye surgery is increasingly popular, but there will always be a need for general anaesthesia. Patients may refuse local anaesthesia, may be unable to keep still or lie flat for the duration of surgery or lack the mental facility to cooperate whilst awake. Young children and those with allergy to local anaesthetic also need general anaesthesia. Careful patient preparation is important before surgery. Glycaemic control in patients with diabetes, adjustments to warf...
