From Prone to Prepared: Airway Management in a Patient With Penetrating Thoracic Trauma.
Cureus
December 2024
Anesthesiology, Unidade Local de Saúde de São José, Lisbon, PRT.
Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

Cureus
November 2024
Anesthesiology, Unidade Local de Saúde de Coimbra, Coimbra, PRT.
Hiatal hernias are common in the elderly and in most cases asymptomatic and no intervention is needed. Hiatal hernias can range from asymptomatic to an intrathoracic stomach, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, characterized by the migration of the stomach into the thoracic cavity. Its need for urgent intervention presents a major concern for the anesthesiologist because it is associated with a high risk of aspiration.

PLoS One
December 2024
Research Group Innovación y Cuidado, Universidad Antonio Nariño, Neiva, Colombia.
Introduction: The effectiveness of supraglottic airway devices (SGDs) as a strategy for blind endotracheal intubation (ETI) was compared in this study.
Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials (CTs) involving SGDs for blind ETI in patients under general anesthesia or simulation manikins, was conducted. CTs that used SGDs for fiberoptic-guided ETI and those conducted in children were excluded.
Awake fiberoptic intubation of a patient with severe multiple trauma in prone position: a case report.
BMC Anesthesiol
July 2024
Department of Anaesthesia, Affiliated Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine-Integrated Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Fiberoptic-guided intubation is considered as "gold standard" of difficult airway management. Management of the airway in prone position in patients with severe trauma presenting with penetrating waist and hip injury poses a major challenge to the anesthesiologist.
Case Presentation: A man presented with severe multiple trauma and hemorrhagic shock as a result of an industrial accident with several deformed steel bars penetrating the left lower waist and hip.
Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Klippel-Feil Syndrome for Laparoscopic Pelvic Surgery: A Case Report.
Acta Med Philipp
May 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila.
Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) continues to pose significant challenges for anesthesiologists. Beyond the expected complexities of managing difficult airways in these patients, they often present with systemic anomalies that can elevate the risk of morbidity during surgeries conducted under anesthesia. Furthermore, laparoscopic procedures bring about additional physiologic changes that must be taken into consideration when planning the anesthetic care for these individuals.
