We experienced a case of the complications following glycerin enema which suggested malignant hyperthermia. A 73-year-old man with knee osteoarthritis was scheduled for total knee arthroplasty under general and epidural anesthesia. The patient received glycerin enema before surgery. After epidural
A 57-year-old man with lung tumor was scheduled for right middle lobectomy under general anesthesia. The patient received glycerin enema 2 hours before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with propofol, fentanyl, ketamine and vecuronium. After the induction, urine of dark-red color was drained
OBJECTIVE
Propofol is widely used for general anesthesia because of its rapid onset and recovery. We had four cases that had higher body temperatures toward the end of anesthesia. The etiology of the hyperthermia is discussed.
METHODS
Four patients (three male, one female, 22-26 yr of age, weighing
OBJECTIVE
This work reports original results on the possibility of non-invasive temperature estimation (NITE) in a multilayered phantom by applying soft-computing methods. The existence of reliable non-invasive temperature estimator models would improve the security and efficacy of thermal
The effectivity of treatment of a dramatically progressing malignant hyperthermia with Dantrolen depends, inter alia, on the easy production and applicability of the preparation. The modification described in this article, of an intravenously injectable Dantrolen solution which contains 10.0 mg
We report the case of a man in his sixties with mucormycosis in whom initial cerebellar infarction progressed into pontine infarction due to basilar artery occlusion. He had received blood transfusions for myelodysplastic syndrome for 1 year and suddenly developed ataxic speech and gait
Efficacy of catejel with lidocaine and catejel C has been assessed in patients subjected to cystoscopy, bougienage, catheterization and urethroscopy. Postcystoscopy and urethroscopy patients were divided into 3 groups. The patients subjected to cystoscopy and bougienage with the use of narcotic or
BACKGROUND
Modern sclerotherapy, using ultrasound guidance and foam sclerosants, is a reference treatment of varices of the lower limbs. Like all other techniques it should be employed in the safest, precisely described and reproducible conditions. Therefore, its contra indications must be clearly
OBJECTIVE
Otitis media is 1 of the most frequent diseases of early infancy and childhood and 1 of the most common reasons for children to visit a physician. In the past 2 decades, there has been a substantial increase in the diagnosis of otitis media worldwide. In the United States, 93% of all
Over the last 50 years deep hypothermia (23 degrees C) has demonstrated to be an excellent neuroprotective agent in cerebral ischemic injury. Mild hypothermia (31-33 degrees C) has proven to have the same neuroprotective properties without the detrimental effects of deep hypothermia. Mechanisms of
Current prevention options for upper respiratory infections (URIs) are not optimal. We conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ARMS-I™ (currently marketed as Halo™) in the prevention of URIs.
ARMS-I is patented novel
