ABSTRACT

La quemadura de la vía aérea, consecuencia de encender un tubo endotraqueal con electrocauterio, presenta escasa incidencia, pero puede provocar lesiones graves o incluso la muerte. Se presenta un caso de un incendio causado por rotura del tubo endotraqueal secundario a contacto con electrocauterio durante una resección de tumor facial. En este caso las causas primarias de fuego fueron el oxígeno a FiO2 no mínima empleado para la ventilación, y la electrocauterización de alta potencia utilizada para la resección y el control de la hemorragia. En este reporte se nombran los métodos de prevención de un incendio de las vías respiratorias y el tratamiento de urgencia cuando se produce. A pesar de su baja incidencia, anestesiólogos y cirujanos deben tener un tratamiento de urgencia de incendios de vía aérea en mente y estar al tanto de los métodos de prevención.


Although the incidence of airway burns that occur when the endotracheal tube is ignited by the electrocautery is low, it is right to assume that the resulting injuries may be severe and even fatal. A case is presented of fire caused by the rupture of an endotracheal tube secondary to contact with the electrocautery during the resection of a facial tumor. In this case, the primary sources of fire were oxygen at a nonminimal FiO2 used for ventilation, and the high-powered electrocautery used for resection and bleeding control. This report will cover the methods for preventing airway fires and the emergency treatment should they happen. Despite the low incidence, both anesthesiologists as well as surgeons must have in mind an emergency treatment of airway fires and must have knowledge of preventive methods.

ABSTRACT

Se reporta un caso de aracnoiditis tras anestesia subaracnoidea para cesárea que cursa con paraparesia, dolor lumbar e hipertensión arterial. Al paciente se le diagnostica aracnoiditis con criterios clínicos e imaginológicos 8 días después de recibir anestesia subaracnoidea para cesárea. Presenta emergencia hipertensiva, se descarta preeclampsia posparto. Posiblemete esta presentación se relacione con inhibición de centros reguladores medulares. Se trató con dexametasona sistémica. La paciente presenta recuperación completa de sus síntomas en el curso de 10 días, sin recaídas en más de 1 año de seguimiento.


We report a case of arachnoiditis following subarachnoidal anesthesia for Cesarean section, with paraparesis, lumbar pain and arterial hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with arachnoidits on the basis of the clinical and imaging findings eight days after receiving subarachnoidal anesthesia for a C-section. She presented with emergent hypertensive crisis, and post-partum pre-eclampsia is ruled out. This presentation might be related with the inhibition of spinal regulatory centers. She was treated with systemic dexamethasone. The patient was totally symptom-free within 10 days and went on to recover fully and has been well during more than one year of follow-up.
