Objective: To investigate the effects of pneumoperitoneum alone or combined with an alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) followed by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on cardiopulmonary function in sheep.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized, crossover study.

Animals: A total of nine adult sheep (36-52 kg).

Methods: Sheep were administered three treatments (≥10-day intervals) during isoflurane-fentanyl anesthesia and volume-controlled ventilation (tidal volume: 12 mL kg) with oxygen: CONTROL (no intervention); PNEUMO (120 minutes of CO pneumoperitoneum); PNEUMO (PNEUMO protocol with an ARM instituted after 60 minutes of pneumoperitoneum). The ARM (5 cmHO increases in PEEP of 1 minute duration until 20 cmHO of PEEP) was followed by 10 cmHO of PEEP until the end of anesthesia. Cardiopulmonary data were recorded until 30 minutes after abdominal deflation.

Results: PaO was decreased from 435-462 mmHg (58.0-61.6 kPa) (range of mean values in CONTROL) to 377-397 mmHg (50.3-52.9 kPa) in PNEUMO (p < 0.05). Quasistatic compliance (C, mL cmHO kg) was decreased from 0.85-0.92 in CONTROL to 0.52-0.58 in PNEUMO. PaO increased from 383-385 mmHg (51.1-51.3 kPa) in PNEUMO to 429-444 mmHg (57.2-59.2 kPa) in PNEUMO (p < 0.05) and C increased from 0.52-0.53 in PNEUMO to 0.70-0.74 in PNEUMO. Abdominal deflation in PNEUMO did not restore PaO and C to control values. Cardiac index (L minute m) decreased from 4.80-4.70 in CONTROL to 3.45-3.74 in PNEUMO and 3.63-3.76 in PNEUMO. Compared with controls, ARM/PEEP with pneumoperitoneum decreased mean arterial pressure from 81 to 68 mmHg and increased mean pulmonary artery pressure from 10 to 16 mmHg.

Conclusions And Clinical Relevance: Abdominal deflation did not reverse the pulmonary function impairment associated with pneumoperitoneum. The ARM/PEEP improved respiratory compliance and reversed the oxygenation impairment induced by pneumoperitoneum with acceptable hemodynamic changes in healthy sheep.

Iatrogenic intramural esophageal hematoma during EUS-B-FNA procedure.

BMC Pulm Med

January 2025

Unidade de Broncologia e Pneumologia de Intervenção - Instituto Português de Oncologia Francisco Gentil, Coimbra, Portugal.

Background: Esophageal ultrasound with bronchoscope fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, complementing endobronchial lung ultrasound (EBUS). While generally considered safe, there is a notable lack of comprehensive knowledge within the interventional pulmonology community regarding potential complications.

Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 66-year-old male with squamous cell lung carcinoma undergoing mediastinal staging.

Article Synopsis
  • A 17-month-old child's scheduled surgery for plagiocephaly was postponed due to a past allergic reaction to atropine-based eye drops, prompting an allergy assessment.
  • Skin tests confirmed an allergy to atropine, which is uncommon in pediatric anesthesia cases, highlighting the importance of thorough preoperative consultations.
  • This case exemplifies the necessity of listening to parental concerns and the benefits of careful allergy testing to ensure a safe surgical experience.

We present the successful management of a patient presenting with pneumo-peritoneum early after surgery due to transvere colon injury after placement of the temporary pacing wires. The patient was asymptomatic, underwent computed tomography, the temporary pacing wires were removed and he was managed conservatively.
