Abstract
Bleomycin is associated with pulmonary toxicity ranging from pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, to fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome. Oxygen administration can potentiate or precipitate bleomycin pulmonary toxicity, and the most common setting of oxygen exposure is during anesthesia. We report here the successful management and perioperative care of a patient with documented bleomycin pulmonary toxicity who had to undergo an eight hour long retroperitoneal surgery. With proper preoperative assessment, chest physiotherapy, inhaled steroids and bronchodilators, antibiotics, operative restriction of oxygen and fluids and good postoperative care no further pulmonary insult was inflicted.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
