The perioperative surgical home (PSH) is a care delivery model designed to improve the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery by promoting holistic care and seamless cooperation between different services and subspecialties. An aging population and increased surgical complexity have led to renewed interest in PSH models. An 86-year-old female with diabetes and critical limb ischemia presented with sepsis due to right calcaneal gangrene.

Aim And Background: Angioedema is a nonpruritic swelling that typically affects the skin, mucous membranes of the face, and perioral soft tissues. It can be life-threatening, but it is usually not and can be treated conservatively unless the airway is compromised. This paper seeks to illuminate a rare case of hereditary angioedema (HAE) onset following dental procedures in a 9-year-old Indian boy.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in the first year of life has been linked with an increased risk for asthma. Some propose that RSV-induced inflammation leads to lasting airway changes, while others contend that RSV bronchiolitis is a marker for underlying predisposition. Social distancing adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic reduction in RSV activity, providing an unexpected opportunity to investigate this debate.

Background: The anesthetic management of patients with glucagonoma is complicated by a number of factors including glucose fluctuation, characterized necrolytic migratory erythema in oral and pharyngeal, which may lead to an unexpected difficult airway.
Case Presentation: Herein we describe the anesthetic considerations and management of a 47-year-old adult with glucagonoma, who presented for a laparoscopic splenectomy and distal pancreatectomy procedure.
Conclusion: This report details fiberoptic intubation in an adult with glucagonoma and necrolytic migratory erythema.
Hemangiomas in the head and neck region, especially those that may impact the airway, require special attention perioperatively because of the potential for difficulties with airway management and bleeding control. This case report describes the management of a 31-year-old male with a large hemangioma of the tongue and pharynx undergoing surgical extraction of mandibular third molars under intubated general anesthesia. Despite taking precautions and avoiding traumatizing the hemangioma while securing the airway, massive bleeding occurred during the surgical extractions, which prompted emergent transfer for angiographic embolization and a stay in the intensive care unit until extubation.
