Difficult Airway and Failed Tracheal Intubation in a Patient with Mucopolaysaccharidoses Type II: A Case Report Open
Mucopolysaccharidoses are rare lysosomal storage diseases resulting from defects in lysosomal enzymes involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans. Different mucopolysaccharidoses are caused by different enzyme deficiencies The anesthetic…

Prediction of blood pressure changes associated with abdominal pressure changes during robotic laparoscopic low abdominal surgery using deep learning Open
Background Intraoperative hypertension and blood pressure (BP) fluctuation are known to be associated with negative patient outcomes. During robotic lower abdominal surgery, the patient’s abdominal cavity is filled with CO 2 , and the pati…

Spinal anesthesia for cesarean section in a super morbidly obese parturient Open
There is no established strategy for selecting a method of anesthesia in patients with morbid obesity (body mass index 40 kg/m or more). For this reason and considering the amount of bupivacaine used for spinal anesthesia, we wanted to sha…

A Case of Expiratory Limb Filter Obstruction in Heated Circuit Kit Open
Antimicrobial filters that prevent cross-contamination through anesthesia equipment are commonly used in operating rooms. Occlusion of this filter leads to the patient's airway obstruction, which may lead to fatal outcomes. We report a cas…

Incidentally Detected Hypopharyngeal Mass during Endotracheal Intubation Open
Hypopharyngeal mass is an uncommon condition in the aerodigestive tract. There were only a few cases have been published in the medical literature. We experienced a case of incidentally detected hypopharyngeal mass during endotracheal intu…

Nasogastric tube insertion difficulty in a patient with a large goiter: A case report Open
Airway management under anesthesia is given special attention in patients who have large goiters. Nasogastric tube insertion may be difficult in intubated patients with large goiters. Several methods have been proposed to facilitate the in…

Anesthetic Experience of Cesarean Section in Evans Syndrome Open
Evans syndrome is an uncommon condition defined by the combination of immune thrombocytopenia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the absence of known underlying cause. Association of Evans syndrome with pregnancy is very rare, and only a f…

Sustained erroneous near-infrared cerebral oxygen saturation in alert icteric patient with vanishing bile duct syndrome during and after liver transplantation - A case report - Open
Monitoring cerebral oxygenation using a near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device is useful for estimating cerebral hypoperfusion and is available during liver transplantation (LT). However, high serum bilirubin concentration can interfere …

Prediction of midline depth from skin to cervical epidural space by lateral cervical spine X-ray Open
Background: Previous studies have shown that measuring the distance from the skin to the ligamentum flavum by ultrasound preceding cervical epidural block can be beneficial in excluding false loss of resistance. However, the measurement va…

Effects of Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia on Hemodynamic Changes Induced by Hypercapnia during Sevoflurane Anesthesia Open
Objective: Many studies have demonstrated that carbon dioxide has direct depressive effects on the myocardium and dilates the vascular bed. However, it leads to an increase in arterial blood pressure and cardiac output because of sympathet…

Comparison of eye protection methods for corneal abrasion during general anesthesia Open
Background: Corneal abrasion is one of the most common ophthalmic complications that occurs after general anesthesia. Although they can occur by direct contact with surgical drapes or masks, most occur as a result of the drying of the corn…
