RESUMEN
Molar pregnancy is a gestational trophoblastic disease wherein the swollen chorionic villi grow in a way that resembles a cluster of grapes. Patients with molar pregnancies very often need anesthesia for suction evacuation. Though molar pregnancy is usually uncomplicated, few cases may be associated with perioperative complications. Various anesthetic techniques have been used for molar evacuation. We present here a case of molar pregnancy with hyperthyroidism, in which general anesthesia [GA] was administered to the patient with laryngeal mask airway. Six hours after evacuation, she went into acute cardiopulmonary distress. She was fortunate enough to be picked up early and was managed successfully
RESUMEN
Prolonged tracheal intubation is a common cause of tracheal stenosis. These patients may present with respiratory insufficiency and stridor of insidious onset and progressive nature. Immediate management includes securing the airway which requires anesthesia. We present successful management of a case of post intubation tracheal stenosis using rigid bronchoscopy under a combination of regional and general anesthesia
