Inhalational anaesthesia induction technique goes back to 1846, when the first public administration of inhaled ether was demonstrated in the Ether Dome of Massachusetts General Hospital. Ever since, there has been a dizzying evolution in anaesthetic practice, but the main objectives of anaesthesia have remained unnegotiable. Inhalational sevoflurane induction is still applied in paediatric cases, non-compliant adult patients and in cases of difficult airway1. Continue reading
The COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that started in late 2019 in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has infected 60.074.174 people, including 1.416.292 deaths by November 26th, 20201. Globally, hospitals were forced to stop most surgeries and redirected resources and staff to accommodate the growing burden of COVID-19. Anesthesia and surgical practice worldwide suffer from radical changes in protocols, especially those related to pre-operative screening, testing, and infection control policies2,3. Continue reading
Η περιεγχειρητική χορήγηση υγρών αποτελεί τον ακρογωνιαίο λίθο στη διαχείριση των χειρουργικών ασθενών, αλλά και σημείο έντονων επιστημονικών αντιπαραθέσεων και διχογνωμιών για το είδος και την ποσότητα των χορηγούμενων διαλυμάτων3,4. Οι χειρουργικοί ασθενείς κατά την περιεγχειρητική περίοδο, χρειάζονται υγρά, και μερικές φορές απαιτούνται μεγάλες ποσότητες για τη διατήρηση του ενδαγγειακού όγκου και της αιμοδυναμικής σταθερότητας. Ο περιορισμός στη χορήγηση υγρών αλλά και η υπερχορήγηση μπορεί να δημιουργήσουν προβλήματα ικανά να επηρεάσουν την έκβαση5,6. Continue reading
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that was first described by Ullrich in 19301, followed by a report of a 7-women series with the phenotype of turner syndrome, “short-stature and gonadal dysgenesis”, by the American physician Henry Turner in 19382.
The main phaenotypical characteristics of Turner syndrome are the short stature which is prevalent in approximately 9 out of 10 cases, the zygomandibular abnormalities, cardiovascular abnormalities, endocrine, and reproductive dysfunctions3. Continue reading
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health emergency since its declaration as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Advanced maternal age is considered a high-risk pregnancy and therefore may affect the severity of Covid-191. Data regarding the management and outcome of a cesarean section in an extremely increased aged woman with Covid-19 disease are limited to a few case reports. In this case report, we discuss the perioperative management of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cesarean section in a 48-year-old woman with Covid-19 infection. Continue reading
Subcutaneous emphysema (SE) refers to air in the subcutaneous tissues. Clinical manifestation is generally benign, yet in several cases it can provoke serious complications such as airway compromise, respiratory failure, pacemaker malfunction and tension phenomena.
Treatment is usually aiming at the underlined cause, while the air is gradually absorbed from interstitial tissues. However, in extensive cases, surgical intervention may also needed1. In the present article we present a case report of subcutaneous emphysema in patient with COVID-19 with presence of ginko leaf sign. Continue reading
