Unusual cause of difficult airway - case reportAnaesthesiology - Case Reports

This is a case report of a difficult airway in an otherwise healthy patient with cholecystolithiasis, scheduled for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The difficult airway was not due to bad anatomical conditions, disease or trauma. It was a rare complication of an endoscopic procedure. Fibreoptic tracheal intubation was the solution.

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a standard treatment of serious symptomatic or asymptomatic stenoses of carotid arteries. It is a prophylactic operation performed more to reduce the risk of embolic stroke from atheromatous disease at the carotid bifurcation than to relieve the hemodynamic stenosis. The risk is reduced by 50% but the benefit can be realized only if the risks of operation and associated anaesthesia are lower than the achieved reduction of the risk of stroke. The most feared complications are death and peri-operative stroke. Myocardial infarction can occur as well. An important adverse event is also a cerebral hyper-perfusion syndrome....

Contribution of brain dormancy to clinical signs of brain damage and the possibility of its treatment by zolpidemAnaesthesiology - Review articles

Most of the various types of brain injuriy are supposed to be connected with neuroprotective supression of brain activity, so-called brain dormancy. The reason for this suppressed neuronal activity is protection of brain tissue from damage. However reduction in neuronal energy metabolism and function makes the clinical symptoms more serious. Later after brain injury inception, brain dormancy and suppression offer no benefit. Currently many experimental advances, pharmacological and non-pharmacological, are being made to achieve brain dormancy switch-off. One of drugs frequently used to restore brain function is zolpidem.

Objective:The aim of the study was verification of the effect of combination of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and prone position in an experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Design:Experimental study. Setting: Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Hospital. Materials and Methods:The study included 40 experimental piglets. Lung damage was induced by repeated bilateral lung lavage with saline to achieve PaO₂/FiO₂ < 100 mm Hg. The experimental animals were randomized into 5 groups - control group (PCV in supine position...
