Supraglottic Airway Device in a Patient With Guillain-Barre Syndrome Undergoing Lower-Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS): A Case Report.

Anesthesia management for a pregnant patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) requires careful planning to ensure the safety of both the mother and fetus while addressing its specific physiological challenges. Management should involve a coordinated team of anesthesiologists, obstetricians, neurologists, and intensivists to optimize outcomes for the mother and fetus. There appear to be no specific case reports that directly document the use of supraglottic airway devices (SGADs) in managing patients with GBS.

Fast-Track Extubation in a Patient Undergoing Whole Lung Lavage: A Case Report.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary pathology characterized by the accumulation of surfactant within type II alveolar epithelial cells. Whole lung lavage is the standard treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis involving a large volume of fluid is infused into one lung and subsequently retrieved while the other lung is remains ventilated. Fast-tracking a patient undergoing whole lung lavage requires vigilant monitoring of arterial blood gases, fluid status, and respiratory mechanics.

Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Difficult Airway: Awake Oral Fiberoptic Intubation Approach.

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by excessive growth hormone (GH) secretion, usually due to a pituitary adenoma. This condition leads to progressive somatic disfigurement, including enlarged hands, feet, and facial features, and is often associated with systemic complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and sleep apnea. Anesthesia for patients with acromegaly presents unique challenges due to the characteristic anatomical and physiological changes associated with the condition.

A Randomized Study Comparing Ultrasound-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Using Two Techniques: Short-Axis Out-of-Plane With Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning Versus Long-Axis In-Plane.

Introduction Internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is a routine procedure in operating rooms, critical care units, and perioperative settings. Ultrasound guidance has notably increased the success rates of IJV cannulation. A modified ultrasound technique known as the short-axis out-of-plane method with dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) allows for continuous visualization of the needle tip throughout the procedure.
