1/3. Malformations of the lungs.The postoperative fatal cases following lung resections and those following drainage of pleuropulmonary suppuration have been evaluated. It has been shown that prognosis is significantly better when resections of the lung are carried out than when septic processes in the pleural cavity occur, although the operative interferences in cases of resection are much more extensive than the insertion of a suction catheter for empyema. It was found that with today's methods of anaesthesia and resuscitation even extensive operations on the lung are less risky than bacterial infections.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. The anaesthetic management of a patient with a broncho-pleural fistula and intestinal obstruction.A patient with a broncho-pleural fistula presented for emergency laparotomy for intestinal obstruction. Anaesthesia was managed with neuroleptanalgesia, and with endobronchial intubation before induction of anaesthesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Management of oesophageal fistula by radiologically-guided instillation of tissue adhesive.Two cases are presented in which healing of oesophageal fistula was achieved by the radiologically-guided placement of tissue adhesive (enbucrilate, Histoacryl). With this relatively simple procedure, further surgical intervention under general anaesthesia was avoided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
