Carotid Blood Flow-Guided Fluid Therapy in Cytoreductive Surgery With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: A Case Report.

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is associated with significant volume shifts and requires meticulous hemodynamic management. The conventional and arbitrary "liberal" and "restrictive" fluid regimens are now being challenged. With increasing recognition of the need to individualize perioperative fluid therapy, dynamic assessment of fluid status and hemodynamic response to administration of fluids have become vital.

A Case Report of Surgical Entrapment and Catheter Embolization: A Rare Complication of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters.

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are a feasible alternative to conventional central venous access. PICCs are often used perioperatively for central venous pressure monitoring and administration of vasoactive drugs especially in cancer patients. Catheter breakage and embolization are rare but potentially fatal complications, and most of the reported literature pertains to pediatric patients after medium- to long-term use.
