ABSTRACT
Pregnancy with heart disease is one of the serious complications of obstetric diseases,which is the main cause of maternal and neonatal death in perioperative period.The choice of anesthesia for pregnancy with heart disease is mainly based on the condition of the mother and the condition of the fetus in the uterus.Regardless of the choice of anesthesia,the maternal vital signs should be stabilized and the safety of the newborn is the most important thing.This article describes these contents,with a view to guide clinical practice and achieve safe anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The principal goal of this article is to determine how to get the best out of the new machines and place their technology at the service of children. With this in mind, we will give a definition for "Modern Anesthesia Machines", their main benefits, the basic concepts regarding mechanical ventilation of the anesthetized child using the major ventilation strategies, and lastly, how to make the best use of graphic monitoring offered by these machines.
Resumen Cómo sacar lo mejor de las nuevas máquinas y poner su tecnología al servicio de los niños es el objetivo central de este artículo de reflexión. Para este efecto se definirá a qué llamamos "Máquinas de Anestesia Modernas", sus principales bondades, los conceptos básicos de ventilación mecánica en el niño anestesiado con las principales estrategias ventilatorias y por último, cómo aprovechar la monitoria gráfica que nos ofrecen estas nuevas máquinas.

HumansABSTRACT
This report is a prospective study comparing conventional direct laryngoseopy with tube-over-tube intubation ("TOTI") method in 42 male patients, whose tracheas were difficult to intubate. ("TOTI") method using two different-sized endotracheal tubes, the newly devised technique has not been mentioned yet. And the comparative studies have not been performed to evaluate relative efficacy, speed, or incidence of complications for the conventional versus "TOTI" method in endotracheal intubation. Overall number of attempts (mean+/-SE) in conventional group was 3.62+/-0.37(range; 1-8), while "TOTI" one was 1.1+/-0.07 (range; 1-2). The time required for intubation ranged from 25 to 64 seconds in TOTI group and 37 to 2015 sec in conventional one, average (mean+/-SE) 37.19+/-1.87 and 542.71+/-111.54sec, respectively. No complications of endotracheal intubation occured in "TOTI" group, whereas in coventional one there occurred fourteen patients with sore throat, seven with hoarseness and five with temporary short-lived dysrhythmia.
