An 80-year-old female with bronchospasm associated with lung edema, who had been resistive to conventional medical treatment, was mechanically ventilated with isoflurane in oxygen for 386 hours. A total amount of isoflurane given was 277.6 MAC-hours. A serum inorganic fluoride concentration
Clinical manifestations of lacrimator exposure can be immediate or significantly delayed. In both phases, the sequelae can be severe and life-threatening. As personal protection devices, these agents have become readily available to the public in many areas of the country. Emergency physicians
Adverse reactions are a frequent complication of exposure to radiographic contrast media (RCM). These reactions are most often anaphylactoid in nature and are characterized by the occurrence of urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, and shock. In patients who have had an anaphylactoid reaction to RCM
BACKGROUND
Patients with exercise-induced laryngochalasia present with dyspnea and stridor during exercise. Symptoms are due to a subtotal occlusion of the larynx resulting from mucosal edema from the aryepiglottic folds being drawn into the endolarynx.
METHODS
We report on three patients with
Laryngospasm, an occlusion of the glottis, can occur at any time during anesthesia, and is associated with serious perioperative complications such as hypoxia, hypercabia, aspiration, bronchospasm, arrhythmia, prolonged recovery, cardiac collapse, and eventually catastrophic death. Importantly,
OBJECTIVE
A case of near fatal obstruction of a breathing system is described, due to occlusion of a heat and moisture exchange filter in a patient with pulmonary edema. Previous reports have described cases of mechanical obstruction to fresh gas flow due to an accumulation of a bolus of fluid
OBJECTIVE
To describe an atypical presentation of intraoperative anaphylaxis due to fentanyl.
METHODS
A 40-yr-old otherwise healthy woman was admitted for abdominal hysterectomy. She denied any drug allergies or past adverse anesthetic reactions. Physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is an ultrashort-acting sedative agent with sedative and amnestic effects that is used not only for anesthesia but also for sedation during minor outpatient procedures and endoscopic examinations. Rare cases of anaphylaxis following propofol administration have been
