Many patients carry pace-makers, and even automatic defibrillators. As anyone, these patients may develop surgical diseases and require surgery and anesthesia. The particularities of the anesthetic management of such patients are developed, as well as the needed surgical adaptations (particularly concerning electrocoagulation). Most of these patients can be operated on an anesthetized, taking certain precautions. In some difficult cases, it is necessary to collaborate with a cardiologist.

Intraoperative vascular anastomosis occlusion due to cold agglutinin disease during brain surgery: a case report.
JA Clin Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Gifu University Hospital, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu, 501-1194, Japan.
Background: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia that induces blood coagulation and hemolysis upon exposure to cold temperatures. Strict temperature control is essential to mitigate these effects, especially during surgical procedures where hypothermia is possible.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male, 165 cm and 72 kg, diagnosed with CAD, underwent cerebral vascular anastomosis.
Influences of patient positioning and general anesthesia on condylar position and surgical accuracy in orthognathic surgery.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Geert Grooteplein 10, Nijmegen, 6525, GA, the Netherlands.
Objectives: To assess the effect of patient positioning and general anesthesia on the condylar position in orthognathic surgery.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included patients undergoing orthognathic surgery between 2019 and 2020. Four weeks prior to surgery (T0) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and intra-oral scans (IOS) were acquired in an upright position.
Effects of combined transversus abdominis plane block under direct vision and acupoint injection on promoting rapid recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, No. 453 Ti-Yu-Chang Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310007, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To study the effect of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block under direct vision with acupoint injection on the rapid recovery of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: Ninety-three patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected and divided into control, TAP block under direct vision (TAP-DV), and TAP-DV with acupoint injection (TAP-DVA) groups using a random number table method. Postoperative VAS, Ramsay score, IL-6, CRP, and postoperative rehabilitation indices were compared among the three groups.
The use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for severe asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with trial sequential analysis.
Expert Rev Respir Med
January 2025
Fondazione Istituto "G. Giglio" Cefalù, Cefalù, Italy.
Introduction: To evaluate the effectiveness of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) versus standard therapy in severe asthma exacerbations through meta-analysis.
Methods: Nine randomized controlled trials (344 patients) were analyzed from inception to August 2024. Primary outcomes included respiratory rate, forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), and oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
Objective: To compare the closed reduction approach with open reduction (transparotid approach) in the management of condylar fractures for parameters such as postoperative facial nerve injury, trismus, and malocclusion.
Study Design: An analytical comparative study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from 10th January 2022 to 1st October 2023.
