Article Synopsis
- Orthognathic surgery is often used to correct jaw issues and facial asymmetry, but it can be complicated by underlying syndromes that affect surgical and anesthesia management.
- This review analyzes important aspects of anesthesia management for these surgeries, focusing on airway management, bleeding control, and techniques to reduce postoperative complications like nausea and deep vein thrombosis.
- It concludes that thorough anesthesia planning and a team-oriented approach are crucial for improving patient recovery and outcomes, especially for more complex cases.
We describe the use of three-dimensional printing to create precise airway models for a patient with Treacher Collins syndrome who presented for bimaxillary temporomandibular joint prostheses, and for whom airway management was predicted to be difficult. The model was based on pre-operative cone beam computed tomography images and printed in the 3D Lab of Hospital Universitario La Paz. Transparent models allowed clear visualisation for simulation and iterative refinement of airway management techniques and aided in risk assessment and instrument sizing.

Depending on the location and size of lipomas, there may be concerns for difficult airway management and cardiovascular collapse. We present the anesthetic management case of a patient with cervical and mediastinal lipomas who underwent elective cervical lipoma resection.

Objective: To evaluate the main variables of HF patients treated at an OGU and compare them with the previous referral model (RC).
