[Monitoring ETCO(2) of the infants undergoing cleft lip repair under general anesthesia with autonomous respiration].

Purpose: To elevate the security of general anesthesia with autonomous respiration applied for infant cleft lip repair in infants.

Methods: 40 infants who received cleft lip repair were divided into two groups randomly, the autonomous respiration group (group A) and control respiration group (group C). The infants in group A underwent general anesthesia with autonomous respiration, while the infants in group C underwent general anesthesia with control respiration.

[Application of autologous blood transfusion in oral and maxillofacial surgery].

In recent years, autologous blood transfusion has been widely applied in many clinical fields, because of its advantages of avoiding transmission of blood contagious diseases, accidents of blood transfusion and immune reaction relating to homogenous blood transfusion. Autologous blood transfusion also has been an important approach to lessen operative blood loss during oral and maxillofacial surgery. This paper reviews the procedures, indications, contraindications and complications of autologous blood transfusion, as well as its application in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

[Successful tracheal intubation in a child with facial multi-clefts and difficult airway: case report.].

A male patient, aged 7 years, was intended to undergo plastic surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation for his severe facial abnormities as a result of 5, 6, 7 combined facial clefts. Because of his severe facial abnormities and preoperative undetected bilateral antiadoncus, during the period of induction, dyspnoea and dysventilation took place, which were relieved by inserting a medium-sized oropharyngeal airway with difficulty; during euthyphoirally exploring his endolarynx with direct laryngoscope, laryngospasm occurred, which was relieved through inserting airway and pressurizing ventilation; repetitively attempted to blindly insert tracheal intubation through nostril, but failed. Finally, his intubation was achieved by blindly intubating through oral cavity under the assistance of direct laryngoscope.
