These patients have facial, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and developmental abnormalities which may pose problems to the anaesthetist during surgery. It is a rare clinical entity representing the phenotype of Turner’s syndrome with normal chromosome studies. The most common congenital cardiac lesion is pulmonary stenosis, either alone or in combination with a septal defect, which is usually atrial. The potential anaesthetic problems presented by a patient with Noonan’s syndrome relate to impairment of cardiopulmonary function, the possibility of a difficult airway and the problem of technical difficulty with regional anaesthesia We reported a case of 21 years old male, weighing 30 kg, who was diagnosed clinically as a case of Noonan syndrome and had undergone balloon pulmonary valvotomy in past. Patient had severe kyphoscoliosis. This rare case report represents to the successful difficult airway and anaesthetic management due to existence of kyphoscoliosis. Problem with airway management may be fatal for patients.","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82732346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design: Prospective randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Methods: Sixty-four adult patients undergoing isolated cardiac valve replacement surgery were divided into two equal groups (32 patients in each). Patients in magnesium group (group M) received 2.5 gm of magnesium sulfate (dissolved in 100 mL of isotonic saline and infused over 2 h), twelve h preoperatively, within the first hour of ICU arrival, and on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days (group M). Patients in the control group (group C) received a placebo of isotonic saline at the same time periods. Results: Prophylactic magnesium sulfate significantly decreased the incidence of POAF compared to the placebo group (P=0.005). White blood cell (WBC) count showed no significant difference between the two groups. C-reactive protein (CRP) level showed significant reduction during the 3rd, 4th, and 5th postoperative days in group M compared to group C (P=0.001, 0.001 & 0.012 respectively). Serum level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) showed a significant reduction on the 5th postoperative day in group M compared to group C (P=0.001). Both groups showed no significant differences in serum levels of troponin I during the study. Conclusion: Prophylactic use of magnesium sulfate in patients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing isolated cardiac valve replacement surgery can decrease the incidence of POAF. It may play a role in attenuating the inflammatory process associated with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"76 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83907502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient comorbidities control is key for successful procedures. Anesthetic drugs and neuromuscular blockade reversal strongly contribute to patient safety and satisfaction, allowing evolution to more complex procedures. Purpose: This study evaluated the financial impact on hospital annual income, when transitioning some surgical procedures from inpatient to ambulatory surgical program, with anesthesiology department assentment. Methods: A risk-adjustment method, based on a logistic regression model, calibrated with approximately 1.15 million episodes from Spanish and Portuguese hospitals was used. A list of procedures performed in Centro Hospitalar do Porto was subject to classification with the label ('Yes', 'No' or 'Maybe') regarding the possibility for ambulatory surgery, relying on sugammadex safety. Results: A total of 153 procedures were classified as 'Yes' or 'maybe' (n=16,944 inpatient episodes), in 2014. 73.4% of these episodes were already performed in ambulatory, but it was expected to reach 85.5%. Assuming a consumption of at least 1 inpatient day for each potentially ambulatory episode, an overconsumption of at least 2,044 inpatient days in 2014 was forecasted. The potential financing gain in 2014 would be 4.59 Million Euros. Discussion: To safely ambulatorize and improve revenue, not only patient selection must be optimized, but also safe routines and choices of correct short acting drugs (propofol, rocuronium), and definitive drug reversal policies (sugammadex), must be implemented. Conclusions: To ambulatorize some inpatient surgical procedures increased both case-mix values. These increased complexity values have a direct positive impact on the hospital income.","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75565570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the peri-operative management of an eleven year old girl, with well controlled MSUD who presented to a nonpaediatric, tertiary hospital for a non-emergency procedure, under general anaesthetic. Case Presentation: An 11 year old girl presented to the Emergency Department with a history of nasal bone trauma. She was admitted for a manipulation of nasal bones (MNB) under general anaesthetic (GA). She had a history of MSUD diagnosed on day three of life. The patient was neurologically intact and had leucine levels within the accepted range prior to her surgery. In times of illness her leucine levels were generally well controlled. The patient was admitted the night prior to surgery following her normal evening meal. Her urine was checked for ketones on admission and this was negative. Overnight carbohydrate management was instituted. Her surgery was performed first on the theatre list. The procedure lasted 14 min and was uneventful. Oral intake was recommenced at 10.00 am. Her urine was again checked for ketones post-operatively and was negative. The patient was well over the weekend and her leucine level post-surgery were within normal limits. Discussion: MSUD is a rare disease. There is limited experience of the conduct of anaesthesia in these patients outside of specialist paediatric centers. Most reports advised transfer to a tertiary paediatric center. We demonstrated that low risk surgery can be carried out safely in these patients.","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76124100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current guidelines indicate that surgery for hip fracture should be performed within 24 h of injury. The main purpose of this study was to determine which factors affect in-hospital mortality and the potential role of the anesthetist in its prevention. Methods: A retrospective, observational study of all patients submitted to hip fracture surgery during one year was carried out. Data were collected from medical records and linear regressions and a multivariate analysis with SPSS version 23.0 was run. Results: A total of 372 patients with the diagnosis of hip fracture submitted to surgery were included in this study. No correlation between waiting time for surgery and in-hospital mortality was found. In multivariate analysis, only increased ASA score (p=0,018) and having a fracture treated with an arthroplasty procedure (p=0,028) were statistically significant predictors of postoperative mortality. Conclusion: In our study, the statistically significant predictors of postoperative mortality were an increased ASA score and type of surgery (arthroplasty procedure). The surgical approach should always be a multidisciplinary decision, involving the anesthesiology and the orthopedic teams, and based on patient’s clinical state and not only the type of fracture.","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"361 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73993487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metoclopramide is reported to be effective in reducing the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting (NV). However, its effectiveness as monotherapy remains unexplored. Aims: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of metoclopramide prophylaxis on the prevention of nausea and vomiting after emergency cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. Methods and material: A prospective non-controlled study was conducted at a referral hospital. Patients classified as metoclopramide group who received 10 mg IV prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis group. Pre-tested checklist and patient interview were employed to collect the data during operation, at 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after cesarean section. Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting between the groups. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used to compare the proportion of categorical variables between the groups. Results: The overall incidence of intraoperative and early postoperative nausea and vomiting were 25.8% and 48.5% in the treatment (n=66) group and non-treatment (n=66) group respectively. Prophylactic metoclopramide significantly reduced the overall incidence of intraoperative and early postoperative nausea and vomiting (25.8% vs. 48.5%, p=0.012) compared with non-treatment group. The median score for nausea on numeric rating scale was also reduced in the prophylaxis at the end of CS, 2 h and at 4 h after CS. Conclusion: The incidences of nausea and vomiting were high. The administration of prophylactic metoclopramide remarkably reduced the incidence and severity of intraoperative and early postoperative nausea and vomiting compared to the non-treatment group. We recommend metoclopramide prophylaxis for parturients undergoing emergency cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. In addition, preoperative risk stratification strategies and perioperative nausea and vomiting management protocols need to be established in the hospital.","PeriodicalId":15000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Clinical Research","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77403769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
