ABSTRACT
Takayasu Arteritis is a systemic disease of unknown cause characterized by occlusion of the thoracic and aMominal aorta and its branches. Although it is typically a disease of young oriental women, the disease is occasionally reported in other groups. A 29-year-old pregnant woman was admitted for emergency cesarean section. Anethesia was induced with thiopental and succinylcholine and maintained with vecuronium-nitrous oxide-oxygen. After delivery, anesthesia was supplemented with fentanyl and droperidol. After delivery we couldnt detect radial arterial blood pressure in both side. Our experience would provide basic information regarding possible emergency surgery for patients with this intractable disease.

An anesthesiologist must have full control of the patient's airway at all time. But he may occationally find himself in a very challenging and dangerous situation, where control of the airway is in question. The present case report describes parioperative management of newborn pharyngeal teratoms, including cafeful perioperative ovaluation of the upper airway and provision for a secure periope rative airway.

To compare the first report of our anesthetic experiences with 16,457 Cases performed by the Department of Anerthesiology of Wonju Christian Hospital, Wonju Medical College, Yonsei University, from Nov. 1959 to Dec. 1977 which was published in 1980, the anesthetic experiences of 12,608 cases performed from Jan. 1978 to Dec. 1982 were analyzed, according to age, sex, department, physical status, emergency Procedureornotn, anesthetic agent, complication, and in addition, the ratio of medical insurance patients after enforcement of medical insurance patients. The results are as follows; 1) The number of cases receiving anesthesia tended, to increase year by year and the rate of increasi was remarkable for female patients. 2) Sexual distribution was 6049 males(48.0%), and 6559 females(52.0%). 3) 44.4% of patients were in the 2nd to 4th. decade of life and the patients over 60 years had increased markedly, 4) Among the departments General Surgery accounted for 30.7%, aner Obstetric sand Gynecology for 30.0%. 5) General anesthesia was use in 76.2% and regional anesthesia 23.8%. 6) The main anesthetic agent was halothane(47.9%). 7) Emergency operations were 37.6%, of the total. 8) Medical insurancs patients have increasied remarkably year by year. 9) Cardiac arrest in the operating room and the recovery room consisted of 4 cases. (0.032%).
