The Anesthetic Complexity of Eisenmenger Syndrome: A Clinical Case.

Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a complex, multisystemic, and rare clinical entity, given that currently, most congenital heart diseases can be corrected in childhood. The high anesthetic risk in these patients poses a challenge for anesthesiology. There are few cases described in the literature of anesthetic approaches using ketamine and dexmedetomidine in ES cases, particularly under Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC).

Closing the Gap: A Case Report on a Blood Patch Solution for Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a condition resulting from cerebrospinal fluid leaks at the spinal level that disrupt the regulation of intracranial pressure. This disorder is an uncommon cause of debilitating headaches but can have variable clinical manifestations, which contributes to delayed diagnosis and potentially severe consequences. The standard treatment consists of conservative measures such as bed rest, hydration, and a pharmacological approach with paracetamol, caffeine, ergotamine, and dexamethasone.

General versus regional anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery - impact on mortality and length of stay.

Background: Hip fractures are extremely common and are considered a public health problem. The best anaesthetic technique for this surgery remains controversial. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of anaesthesia on perioperative and 30-day mortality and length of stay, in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate-Like Syndrome After Double-J Replacement in a Patient with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: Case Report.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a rare, but extremely dangerous complication. We present an even rarer case of a spinal cord injured patient who developed "TURP-like syndrome" after cystoscopy with Double-J replacement, under general anesthesia. A 39-year-old man, American Society of Anesthesiologists III, tetraplegic, was scheduled for cystoscopy with bilateral Double-J replacement.
