Using intraosseous access for application of fluids and drugs is suitable not only in prehospital and emergency care, but also in major abdominal surgery in patients with occluded vascular access in the area of the superior vena cava. This case report describes the use of alternative vascular access for administration of fluids and drugs during orthotopic liver transplantation.

A conceptual ideal supraglottic airwayAnaesthesiology - Review articles

The single most important factor motivating research and development of SGAs is the associated risks of intubating patients with a tracheal tube. Predictable airway injury and the greater side-effects in the use of tracheal tubes is putting pressure on favouring SGAs over tracheal tube anaesthesia. In the future, the ability to minimize side-effects while obtaining better quality of seal in an SGA may determine the extent to which tracheal tube anaesthesia becomes a practise that will be limited to patients with full stomachs and special requirements such as thoracic anaesthesia.The factors that influence safety as well as the various compromises...

Carotid endarterectomy is one of the most frequent vascular surgery procedures worldwide. The postoperative course is mostly uncomplicated. Neurological complications may manifest as a cerebral stroke, hyperperfusion syndrome or, rarely, as convulsions. Postoperative cardiovascular instability that may occur includes hypertension or less often hypotension and cardiac dysrhythmias. Acute myocardial ischaemia is seen mostly in patients with ischaemic heart disease. Other complications include postoperative wound haematoma potentially leading to airway obstruction and damage to the nerves adjacent to the surgical incision.

Intensive Care Unit-Acquired WeaknessIntesive Care Medicine - Review Article

Jiroutková Kateřina, Duška František

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2011;22(3):163-168  

Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) is a common complication of intensive care that places significant impact on the long-term outcome. ICUAW is associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and is now considered an aspect of the multiple-organ failure syndrome at the level of peripheral nerves and muscles. The membrane of the peripheral nerve is hyperpolarized and is inexcitable at least in part due to the changes of both the number and features of the Na⁺ channels. Within the muscles, the intracellular Ca²⁺ fluctuation pattern flattens during the cycle of contraction-relaxation. There is also a decrease...
