We report a case of impossible ventilation in a patient with severe nasal bleeding. A 47-year-old man with intractable nasal bleeding was scheduled for emergent hemostasis under general anesthesia. He also had alcohol-related cirrhosis and was highly obese (165 cm, 93 kg). Although he sufficiently
We performed a study to confirm which risk factors are significantly associated with epistaxis during nasotracheal intubation. One hundred patients who underwent nasotracheal intubation were included. Risk factors for epistaxis were analysed using the multiple logistic regression analysis with
Background: Severe obesity is a major risk factor for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Data on the role of bariatric surgery for the treatment of this condition are scarce.
Objective:
Both obesity (BMI over 30) and SAS are risks for Supper airway maintenance. We report an obese patient (BMI 33.5) with SAS who underwent awake craniotomy. Weight reduction was instructed 1 month before the operation, and the patient lost enough weight to use intraoperative MRI. Under general
Supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) can effectively maintain adequate oxygenation in patients with respiratory depression, even in apnea patients. However, there have been no randomized controlled clinical trials of SJOV in obese patients. This study investigated the BACKGROUND
The goal of the present study was to analyze the risk factors for epistaxis in patients followed in general practices in Germany.
METHODS
The current study sample included patients aged 18 years or older who received a first epistaxis diagnosis between January 2012 and December 2016
Background Thirty-day readmission has become a significant health care metric reflecting the quality of care and on the cost of service delivery. There is little data on the impact of complications following skull base surgery (SBS) on emergency readmission. Identifying modifiable risk
A total of 126 children with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, including 35 splenectomized cases, were investigated in a long-term follow-up study, with regard to residual hematologic and immunologic abnormalities, complications and physical growth. Such hemorrhagic symptoms as petechiae,
BACKGROUND
Pregnant patients have five-fold venous thrombosis than no pregnant, and its therapy is mainly with non-fractioned and low molecular weight heparin.
OBJECTIVE
To know clinical characteristics, treatment and perinatal results of deep venous thrombosis associated to pregnancy at Instituto
BACKGROUND
Nasal obstruction is considered a risk factor for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), although the relationship has not been established clearly. This study explores the repercussion of total nasal packing on arterial oxygen saturation during the nocturnal resting hours and its implication
BACKGROUND
Hurricane Katrina, a Category 3 hurricane, made landfall in August 2005. Approximately 1,500 deaths have been directly attributed to the hurricane, primarily in Louisiana and Mississippi. In New Orleans, Louisiana, most of the healthcare infrastructure was destroyed by flooding, and >
A 71 year-old obese woman complained of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) related symptoms. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 73.5/hour. She presented with nasal bleeding to an ENT doctor. A mass on the nasal septum was seen and biopsy was performed. Histological confirmation showed malignant
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a preoperative examination commonly required for candidates to bariatric surgery (BS). Overweight individuals have a greater risk of cardiorespiratory complications during endoscopy under sedation. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility, Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterised by partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep. Approximately 1% to 4% of children are affected by OSA, with adenotonsillar hypertrophy being the most common underlying risk factor. Surgical removal of enlarged adenoids or
