Background: Adequate pain control following lung transplantation (LTx) surgery is paramount. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the gold standard; however, the potential use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and consequent anticoagulation therapy raises safety concerns, prompting clinicians to seek safer alternatives. The utility of thoracic wall blocks in general thoracic surgery is well established; however, their role in the context of LTx has been poorly investigated.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTakotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterised by reversible systolic dysfunction resulting from catecholamine-induced vasospasm, mainly triggered by intense emotional or physical stress. Adding adrenaline to arthroscopic irrigation solution enhances visibility by minimising bleeding. However, there is a risk of complications due to systemic absorption.

- Lung transplantation (LTx) is a major surgery done to help people with severe lung diseases, with about 4,500 surgeries done each year worldwide.
- Managing pain after the surgery is really important, but it’s complicated because different patients may need different treatments.
- The review talks about how doctors usually use something called thoracic epidural analgesia for pain, but they are looking for safer options like thoracic nerve blocks, especially since there isn't a lot of research on how effective these are for lung transplant patients.
Background: Postdural puncture headache after accidental dural puncture during labour may lead to chronic sequalae.
Objectives: We aimed to measure the incidence of postpartum depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic headache, backache and breastfeeding rates after a postdural puncture headache.
Design: A retrospective, case-matched cohort study.
In this article we describe the treatment of a patient who developed suspicious symptoms of malignant hyperthermia syndrome during anesthesia for elective cerebral catheterization. We also described an up-to-date review of malignant hyperthermia, diagnosis and treatment. Details regarding the case: this is a case of a 57 year old male patient who was admitted for an elective catheterization under general anesthesia.
