ABSTRACT
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition characterized by regional pain, sensory alterations, motor dysfunction, and abnormality in body temperature, sudomotor activation, skin color changes and regional edema which often appears in the extremities after the onset of a noxious event. CRPS is a disabling disorder with an unknown mechanism. We present a CRPS case which is extremely resistant to conventional pharmaceutical and other therapeutic treatments in the left upper limb, which was treated successfully with continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (BPB).

odarone. Isovolumetric left ventricular end systolic pressure (LVESP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), dP/dtMAX and heart rate were measured. RESULTS: Group II showed more recovered LVESP, less developed ventricular stiffness, more preserved coronary effluent flow, earlier termination of arrhythmia and smaller infarct size than Group I. Group III showed preserved LVESP and dP/dtMAX, less developed ventricular stiffness, shortest arrhythmia sustaining time, smallest infarct size among all groups. These myocardial protective effects were abolished in Group IV. CONCLUSIONS: We observed that IPC and amiodarone administration, each has myocardial protective effects against myocardial ischemia, but when they are dealt at the same time, their beneficial effects diminished.

We had done one-lung ventilation using 9 Fr wire-guided endobronchial blocker and outer diameter 41-mm flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope in ruptured esophageal patient who expected difficult tracheal intubation and in esophageal cancer patient who was in need of mechanical ventilation during and after the operation.
