Research paper thumbnail of Bradycardia and Sinus Arrest Following Saline Irrigation of the Brain During Epilepsy Surgery

Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, 2004

Adverse cardiac events during the intraoperative period are life-threatening. The authors report ... more Adverse cardiac events during the intraoperative period are life-threatening. The authors report three episodes of severe bradycardia and sinus arrest that occurred in a patient undergoing anterior temporal lobectomy and amygdalo-hippocampectomy for the treatment of epilepsy. The first episode occurred during resection of the amygdala; the other two episodes were observed during subsequent irrigation of the exposed brain structures, most likely the brain stem structures, because of a rent that the surgeon had deliberately made into the basilar cistern for better anatomic appreciation of the structures to be excised. The patient responded well to treatment with no adverse outcomes. The probable mechanisms leading to this event are discussed; the authors excluded insular cortex stimulation, the effects of the anesthetic drugs used, and venous air embolism as a cause of bradycardia and sinus arrest. The amygdala resection was the most likely cause of the first episode of bradycardia; the second episode of bradycardia and sinus arrest occurred because of inadvertent stimulation of brain structures by the high temperature (42 degree C) of the saline used for irrigation. To counter its effects, saline irrigation at room temperature (20 degree C) was started, and this caused the third episode of bradycardia, most likely because of "temperature shock" of the exposed brain. Prompt communication with the surgical team and vigilance are crucial for the appropriate management of such an incident, which may pose a threat to life. Avoiding irrigation of the exposed brain with high-temperature saline may prevent such an incident.

Research paper thumbnail of Mainstream Time-Capnography: An Aid to Select an Appropriate Uncuffed Endotracheal Tube in Small Children

Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2008

However, uncuffed endotracheal tube may increase the risk of aspiration and lead to erratic delivery of preset tidal volume during mechanical ventilation. Therefore, it is desirable to intubate trachea with an appropriate but not an oversized endotracheal tube. In children, for selecting an endotracheal tube, a variety of formulas and techniques are used to find the endotracheal tube size that minimizes both pressure induced tracheal injury and aspiration potential or variable ventilation. Air-leak following tracheal intubation can be recognized by the presence of audible leak, by auscultation over the trachea, by palpation over the trachea and by observing effects of positive end-expiratory pressure on inspiratory expiratory tidal volume difference during mechanical ventilation. We describe mainstream time-capnograph as an aid to recognize leak around the endotracheal tube and its utility to determine appropriate endotracheal tube size in small children.

Design: Prospective, randomized clinical study. Setting: University teaching hospital. Participant: Thirty-six adult patients undergoing CABG surgery. Interventions: Patients either received 50% O 2 in air (50% O 2 group), 50% O 2 in N 2 O (50% N 2 O group), or 100% O 2 (100% O 2 group) after CPB.

Early series of children requiring repair of PDA reported an incidence of clinical aortic stenosis (AS) of 3% to 10%. The treatment options for PDA include surgical interruption, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical clipping, 3 and coil embolization or device closure of the PDA in the catheterization laboratory. The presence of severe AS can adversely affect the intraoperative course in a patient undergoing surgical interruption of PDA. A patient is described in whom surgical interruption of PDA was done in the presence of severe AS.

There is intubation difficulty in various conditions including Downs syndrome, achondroplasia, acromegaly, and dwarfism. We describe difficulty in intubating the trachea with an appropriate sized endotracheal tube in two young male patients with hypogonadism presenting for neurosurgical procedures under general anesthesia. We discuss the role of hypogonadism and the effects of gonadotropin hormones on pubertal laryngeal growth in male patients.
