Anesthetic Management for Reconstructive Carotid Surgery Using of Electroencephalography / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

A 39 years old, ASA PS I. healthy female patient was scheduled for surgical resection of a paraganglioma surrounding right carotid artery bifurcation area. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental and sucinylcholine and maintained with 0.75-1.25 Vo1% halothane in 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Reconstructive carotid artery surgery with intraluminal shunt was performed due to laceration of carotid artery bifurcation area during wide dissection of tumor mass. Duration of the carotid artery clamp and release was 35 minutes and any significant changes in vital signs and EEG were not found. Soon after the patient was recovered from anesthesia. She was delivered to recovery room and then she was transferred to intensive care unit. She was discharged from hospital without any neurologic sequelae on the 13th postoperative day.
