[A Case of Cesarean Section Preceded by Coil Embolization for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage under General Anesthesia].

We report a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a cerebral aneurysm in a 29-year-old woman in the 34th week of pregnancy. The aneurysm at the anterior communicating artery was up to 10 mm in diameter on magnetic resonance imaging and scheduled for emergent coil embolization. Simultaneously, obstetricians determined that cesarean section should be performed.

[Eighty cases of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) for inguinal hernia repairs using tumescent local anesthesia (TLA)].

Background: This paper discusses the efficacy and difficulty of the management of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) for inguinal hernia repairs using tumescent local anesthesia(TLA).

Methods: Eighty patients were retrospectively divided into four groups (all n = 20) according to the drugs used; group P (propofol), group PF (propofol and fentanyl), group PFM (propofol, fentanyl and midazolam), group PR (propofol and remifentanyl). The four groups were analyzed in terms of the applied dose, airway use, wake-up test to determine whether hernia was repaired, postoperative pain and nausea.
