Severe brachial plexus injury after retropubic radical prostatectomy -A case report- [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
A 69-year-old man with prostate cancer underwent surgery for 16 h. Approximately 6 h after surgery, the patient developed severe pain and motor weakness in his right arm.

The influence of different patient positions during rapid induction with severe regurgitation on the volume of aspirate and time to intubation: a prospective randomised manikin simulation study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background Aspiration is a main contributor to morbidity and mortality in anaesthesia. The ideal patient positioning for rapid sequence induction remains controversial. A head-down tilt and full cervical spine extension (Sellick) might prevent aspiration

Intraoperative changes in whole-blood viscosity in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy in the steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum: a prospective nonrandomized observational cohort study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2020
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the steep Trendelenburg position (STP) with pneumoperitoneum on whole-blood viscosity (WBV) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). The study also analyzed

Limited Effect of 60-Days Strict Head Down Tilt Bed Rest on Vascular Aging

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
BackgroundCardiovascular risk may be increased in astronauts after long term space flights based on biomarkers indicating premature vascular aging. We tested the hypothesis that 60 days of strict 6° head down tilt bed rest (HDTBR), an established space ...

Modelling physiology of haemodynamic adaptation in short-term microgravity exposure and orthostatic stress on Earth

Scientific Reports, 2021
Cardiovascular haemodynamics alters during posture changes and exposure to microgravity. Vascular auto-remodelling observed in subjects living in space environment causes them orthostatic intolerance when they return on Earth.

Cardiovascular Response to Posture Changes: Multiscale Modeling and in vivo Validation During Head-Up Tilt

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In spite of cardiovascular system (CVS) response to posture changes have been widely studied, a number of mechanisms and their interplay in regulating central blood pressure and organs perfusion upon orthostatic stress are not yet clear.

Ischemia modified albumin: does it change during pneumoperitoneum in robotic prostatectomies?

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2016
Background The unique positioning of the patient at steep Trendelenburg with prolonged and increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during robotic radical prostatectomy may increase the risk of splanchnic ischemia.

Ground-Based Analogs for Human Spaceflight

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
This mini-review provides an updated summary of various analogs for adaptations of humans to the microgravity of space. Microgravity analogs discussed in this paper include dry immersion, wet immersion, unilateral lower-extremity limb suspension, head ...

Head and neck symptoms during prolonged simulated weightlessness

Frontiers in Physiology
Microgravity exposure induces cephalad fluid shifts in astronauts, but systematically collected data on head and neck-related symptoms remain limited and largely anecdotal.

Head-down tilt position successfully prevent severe brain air embolism

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2018
Air embolisms are rare life-threatening complications that develop under various conditions, including surgery. During segmentectomy for thoracic surgery, air is blown into the selected bronchus for segment margin detection.
