RESUMO

Anesthetic preparation before non-cardiac surgery deserves particular attention in patients with cardiac disease as these are prone to develop hemodynamic instability and myocardial ischemia. Risk of complications is not only related to individual patient characteristics, but also to surgery related factors. In this report we present our experience regarding anesthetic management of a patient with multiple comorbidities including advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severely impaired left ventricular systolic function and occluded by pass grafts. We chose thoracic epidural analgesia for his subxiphoid incisional hernia repair. The operative and postoperative course was uneventful

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to compare clinical screening tests [modified Mallampati score, Cormack-Lehane score, thyromental distance, and sternomental distance] with ultrasonic measurements of the upper airway in predicting difficult intubation in pregnant women whose Body Mass Index [BMI] is higher and lower than 30 kg m-2. This study was designed as a prospective observational trial, and consisted of 40 pregnant women of American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] 1-2 groups. Patients with a BMI lower than 30 kg m-2 were included in Group 1 [n=20], and patients with a BMI higher than 30 kg m-2 were included in Group 2 [n=20]. In the supine position with head in mild extension, the diameter of the transverse tracheal air shadow in the subglottic area of the front neck was measured using ultrasonography. Modified Mallampati score, Cormack-Lehane score, thyromental distance and sternomental distance measurements were recorded. No statistically significant difference was detected between groups regarding mean age, mean number of pregnancy, ASA scores and comorbid disease. Mean body weight [p=0.0001] and mean prepregnancy weight [p=0.0001] were significantly higher in Group 2. There was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding mean modified Mallampati score, thyromental distance, sternomental distance measurements, Cormack-Lehane score, and mean ultrasonic measurements. It was found that BMI higher or lower than 30 kg m-2 has no effect on ultrasonic measurements and clinical airway tests. We thought that ultrasonic measurement could not give us valuable information in obese or non-obese pregnant women
