We experienced anesthesia and perioperative management for hysterectomy in a patient with acquired angioedema. Angioedema due to C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency (loss or dysfunction of C1-INH) is one of the rarest diseases, and is characterized by recurrent episodes of regional hard edema and ascites induced by mechanical stimuli or mental stress. Edema spreads to the subcutaneous and submucosal layer, and laryngeal edema may cause the upper airway obstruction. Tranexamic acid and C1-INH concentrates were administered perioperatively for prophylaxis of attacks, and combined spinal and epidural anesthesia was performed for hysterectomy. We could manage perioperative care without causing edema.

Intravenous fluid is administered during high-risk surgery to optimize stroke volume (SV). To assess ongoing need for fluids, the hemodynamic response to a fluid bolus is evaluated using a fluid challenge technique. The Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) system is a decision support tool designed to ease the application of fluid challenges and thus improve fluid administration during high-risk surgery.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

Background: Our study aimed to compare the clinical presentation and outcomes of post-cholecystectomy bile duct injuries (BDI) with and without arterial injuries.
Methods: A prospective analysis of 123 patients with post-cholecystectomy BDI between July 2018 and January 2022 was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of vascular injuries on perioperative complications and long-term outcomes after delayed repair.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapies are increasingly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Despite growing awareness of potentially increased risk of pulmonary aspiration due to delayed gastric emptying, the risks and benefits of their perioperative use in patients undergoing cardiac procedures remains unexplored. A scoping review was performed to investigate the perioperative GLP-1RA use in patients undergoing cardiac procedures and recommendations.
