Apnoeic oxygenation with high-flow oxygen for tracheal resection and reconstruction surgery.

Background: Tracheal resection and reconstruction are the most effective treatments for tracheal stenosis, but the difficulties are surgery and maintaining ventilation performed on the patient's same airway. High-flow oxygen has begun to be applied to prolong the apnoea time in the tracheal anastomosis period for tracheal resection and reconstruction. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of apneic conditions with high-flow oxygen as the sole method of gas exchange during anastomosis construction.

Successful Treatment of Pulmonary Edema Caused by Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome.

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a complication of transurethral resection of the prostate procedure. The incidence of TURP syndrome ranges from 0.78% to 1.

Preemptive analgesia after lumbar spine surgery by pregabalin and celecoxib: a prospective study.

Objective: To evaluate the preemptive analgesic effect of combination pregabalin with celecoxib for lumbar spine surgery.

Methods: A prospective, randomized study was conducted among 60 lumbar spine surgery patients and divided into two groups. Postoperative pain relief was achieved with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with morphine.

Successful intralipid-emulsion treatment of local anesthetic systemic toxicity following ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block: case report.

Background: Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a life-threatening complication that may follow application of LAs through various routes. Despite increasing usage of LA techniques in a large number of health-care settings, contemporary awareness of LAST and understanding of its management are inadequate.

Case Presentation: We report two cases who suffered LAST following brachial plexus block for surgery on the upper extremity.

Patient-controlled paravertebral analgesia for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy.

Background: Paravertebral block has been proven to be an efficient method to provide post-thoracotomy pain management. This study aimed to compare patient-controlled paravertebral analgesia (PCPA) and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) in terms of analgesic efficiency, respiratory function, and adverse effects after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy.

Patients And Methods: The prospective randomized trial study was carried out on 60 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy (randomly allocated 30 patients in each group).
