Multiple endotracheal intubation (ETI) attempts increase the risk of airway-related adverse events. However, little is known about autopsy findings after severe ETI-related complications. We present the detailed pathological findings in a patient with severe ETI-related complications. A 77-year-old
Obesity has been described as a relative contraindication for percutaneous tracheostomy. The objective of our study was to examine the safety and complications of percutaneous tracheostomy in obese patients. We conducted a prospective cohort study of all consecutive patients who underwent
OBJECTIVE
To assess the technical feasibility and surgical outcome of a 5 mm-ports technique in a consecutive series of women with endometrial cancer laparoscopically managed.
METHODS
Prospective collaborative cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
METHODS

Conventional access for renal surgery through the retro-peritoneum includes the blind percutaneous approach using a haemostatic clip and the Gaur balloon dissection technique or alternatively the open cut-down approach. The authors present a video detailing the technique of optical Necrotising Fasciitis is a destructive infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Survival from the condition often necessitates patient referral for appropriate reconstructive surgery and supportive medical management. The aim of our study
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, characterized by hypoventilation secondary to upper airway obstruction, often results from tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy. Adenotonsillectomy is the standard therapy in this patient population. The immediate postoperative period is complicated occasionally
Difficult airway is a commonly encountered problem in the anesthesia practice, might needing otolaryngologist expert in creation of surgical airway. Supraglottic airways, surgical or needle cricothyrotomy, high frequency jet ventilation, cardiopulmonary bypass (Tunstall in Can J Anaesth 36:611-613,
Preoperative pneumoperitoneum is used to re-establish the right of domain for abdominal viscera before repair of otherwise inoperable giant abdominal hernias. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use and safety of preoperative pneumoperitoneum in the repair of giant hernias in relation to
OBJECTIVE
To describe tracheal rupture after orotracheal intubation assisted by a tracheal tube introducer.
METHODS
A 73-yr-old morbidly obese female patient with a history of hypertension underwent a total knee replacement. There were no anticipated signs of difficult intubation. Orotracheal
OBJECTIVE
To Analyze the influence factors on the complications of percutaneous dilational tracheotomy.
METHODS
Between August 2008 and February 2014, there were 3 450 patients with the indications of tracheotomy accepted percutaneous dilational tracheostomy, mainly using percutaneous dilational and
BACKGROUND
Nonobese patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures present a dilemma as to the correct mode of entry into the abdominal cavity because the Veress needle (VN) technique seems to be associated with a high risk of vascular and visceral injuries. Direct trocar insertion (DTI) has been
Serious complications during high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) are rare and have been documented in animals and in case reports or short series of patients with a difficult airway. We report complications of transtracheal HFFJV in a prospective multicentre study of 643 patients having
BACKGROUND
Pneumothorax is a most rare intraoperative event but jeopardise safety. Risk factors for its occurrence should be acknowledged and it should be considered in cases of unexpected deterioration of oxygenation that not respond to standard management to improve oxygenation.
METHODS

METHODS
A 39-year-old obese woman underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with elective endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy (papillotomy) for symptomatic retained stones in the common bile duct which were extracted completely after added lithotripsy. Three hours later the patient
OBJECTIVE
Despite advantages of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks as compared with established techniques, various limitations may exist. We present 2 trauma patients in whom the usefulness of ultrasound techniques was limited by edema and subcutaneous air.
METHODS
Two male patients were
