Orthognathic surgery may induce hemorrhage resulting from nasal mucosal injury or from maxillary osteotomy sites, and if severe, the hemorrhage may cause airway obstruction. The patient in this case report was a 27-year-old woman who underwent Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies under general anesthesia. There were no abnormal intraoperative vital signs.

BACKGROUND We present an exceptional case of asystole and tracheal diverticulum rupture as a result of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately following laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed at Riga 1st Hospital. Tracheal rupture after tracheal intubation is a severe but very rare complication that can be fatal. We present an incidental finding of the tracheal diverticulum and its rupture during CPR.

Repeated sprint cycling exercises (RSE) performed under systemic normobaric hypoxia (HYP) or with blood flow restriction (BFR) are of growing interest. To the best of our knowledge, there is no stringent consensus on the cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses between systemic HYP and BFR during RSE. Thus, this study assessed cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses to multiple sets of RSE under HYP or with BFR.

A 54-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue underwent bilateral cervical lymph node dissection, total tongue resection, forearm flap reconstruction, and tracheostomy. The plan was to replace the oral endotracheal tube (ETT) with a cuffed tracheostomy tube at the end of the surgical case while the patient was still under general anesthesia. No major complications were expected as the tracheal foramen was visible once surgical access was obtained.

Mandibular surgery, edentulous jaw, denture wear, and ageing are all risk factors for persistent mandibular ridge resorption and weakening. The tongue occludes the upper airway due to the mandible's edentulous condition. All of these factors contribute to the difficulties in regulating the airway.
