The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the maintenance of systemic homeostasis. Measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) is a method for assessment of the autonomic nervous system. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system could complicate the perioperative course in the pacient undergoing surgery, therefore it should be considered as another risk factor during preoperative assessment. Nowadays the assessment of the autonomic nervous system function as a predictive tool of the perioperative outcome is not considered in daily anaesthetic practice.

Uterine hypotony/atony is the most common cause of life-threatening peripartum bleeding. The article presents information on the current treatment approaches for this serious complication. The pharmacological properties of the uterotonic agents are discussed in detail. Their incorrect administration may paradoxically lead to a deterioration in the critical condition. We also emphasize the need for concurrent interdisciplinary co-operation in the management of uterine hypotony/atony.

So far, there is no consensus whether to stop biological treatment prior to elective surgery. The results of retrospective studies are very heterogeneous, because the retrospective study design and the relatively small numbers of individuals studied considerably limit the interpretation of the data. The risk of infection is greatest at the beginning of the administration of biological treatment. Current recommendations are in favour of interrupting biological treatment in the perioperative period. We present a recommendation on the management of biological treatment before surgery.

Posterior reversible encefalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a serious neurological condition with varied clinical manifestation. It is rare during pregnancy. We present a case of PRES in a 35-year-old female immediately after the delivery of twins by Caesarean section. The patient fully recovered. A 35-year-old primigravida with twin pregnancy underwent a Caesarean section at 35 weeks of gestation because of pregnancy-induced preeclampsia (hypertension, proteinuria, bilateral pedal oedema). Approximately 20 hours after the Caesarean section there was a rapid decline of visual acuity. We clinically diagnosed cortical blindness. A computed tomography (CT)...

The role of ultrasound in clinical decision-making and interventions in airway managementPostgraduate education - ECHO didactics

The role of ultrasound in clinical decision-making and interventions in airway management has expanded during the last decade. The ultrasound modality might be used in the emergency setting thanks to better knowledge of sonoanatomy of the upper and lower airways along with the growing skills in the usage of ultrasound as well as the technological advance. As examples, ultrasound might be used to localise the cricothyroid membrane during urgent coniotomy and even during real-time navigation of intubation when laryngoscopy has failed. It can be used for the assessment of the size of the endotracheal tube, the fasting status before intubation or induction...
