Our patient is an 11-month-old child who underwent surgical excision of the bronchogenic cyst compressing the left bronchus. Intraoperatively, due to positive pressure ventilation, tension pneumothorax developed, ultimately leading to cardiac arrest. Prompt treatment with cardiopulmonary resuscitation followed by needle insertion in the second intercostal space on the right side, followed by an intercostal drain, revivedthe patient. An early diagnosis and an adequate approach to possible complications is the key to successful anesthetic management.","PeriodicalId":18412,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y.

Epiploic appendagitis (EA) is an inflammatory process, primarily may be due to torsion or vascular occlusion or may be secondarily related to other inflammatory processes. Symptoms vary from mild abdominal pain to severe variety, depending on the underlying cause. Primary EA is a benign self-limiting condition and does not require any surgical intervention, whereas secondary cause of inflammation needs management of underlying pathology. Proper diagnosis plays a vital role in appropriate management. Cross-sectional study like computed tomography (CT) is the ideal choice of imaging. On CT, epiploic appendigitis appears as round to oval fat-attenuating lesions with hyperattenuating peripheral rim, usually abutting the adjacent large bowel. Chronic inflammation shows peripheral calcification, may detach, and appears as intra-abdominal loose body. We describe three cases of secondary EA with CT imaging features, which will guide the clinician in proper management, avoiding unwarranted surgery or hospitalization.","PeriodicalId":18412,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y.

The study was conducted on 12 patients, 6 in each group. Data collected includes monitoring of oxygen saturation, hemodynamics, ETCO2, and complications. LMA group children had lower episodes of desaturation as compared to nasal airway group. ETCO2 values were maintained and rate of complications were less in LMA group.
