Intraoperative Bleeding Control with Terlipressin in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the use of terlipressin for intraoperative bleeding reduction in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Methods: This prospective, randomized, single-center, single-blinded cohort study included 74 cases of FESS performed under general anesthesia (GA). The patients were randomized into two groups: WT (without terlipressin, n = 39) and T (with 200 μg terlipressin, n = 35).

[Beta-blockers for reducing intraoperative bleeding during rhinosinusosurgical operations in elderly and senile patients.].

With the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy of chronic rhinosinusitis in all age groups of patients, functional rhinosinusosurgical endoscopic interventions are now often used to do. The minimal bleeding is a necessary condition for their realization. There are reports of the use of beta-blockers for reducing surgical bleeding, but the possibility of their intravenous use in older patients has not been sufficiently studied.

Reducing kidney motion: optimizing anesthesia and combining respiratory support for retrograde intrarenal surgery: a pilot study.

Background: One of the greatest challenges presented with RIRS is the potential for movement of the stone within the operative field associated with diaphragm and chest respiratory excursions due to mechanical ventilation. To overcome this challenge, we propose in this pilot study a new general anesthesia technique combining high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) with small volume mechanical ventilation (SVMV). Data regarding safety, feasibility and surgeons' impression was assessed.

[Anesthesia and respiratory support during endoscopic correction of subcompensated laryngeal stenosis].

A case of successful endoscopic correction of grade II laryngeal stenosis under general anesthesia and respiratory support is reported. High-frequency jet ventilation of the lungs was accomplished through a transtracheally introduced catheter.

High-frequency jet ventilation in endolaryngeal surgery.

Study Objective: To describe the clinical experience with high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) of the lungs during endolaryngeal surgery and its effect on acid-base balance and capillary PO2 (PcO2), PCO2, central hemodynamics, and tracheobronchial mucous membrane.

Design: Evaluation of different modalities of HFJV.

Setting: Operating rooms and otolaryngology intensive care unit in a medical institute.
