Anesthesia for Liver transplantation - Dr.Sandeepdeepmbbs04
Liver transplantation is a complex procedure that requires careful anaesthetic management due to the pathophysiological changes associated with end-stage liver disease. Key considerations include monitoring for haemodynamic instability, coagulopathy and metabolic disturbances. Frequent intraoperative monitoring and correction of abnormalities are important to assess graft function and optimize patient outcomes.
Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. It is produced by beta cells in the pancreas and released into the bloodstream. Insulin binds to receptors on cells and stimulates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it is used for energy or stored as glycogen. There are several types of insulin preparations that vary in their onset and duration of action, including rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulins. Insulin is essential for treatment of type 1 diabetes and is often used in combination with oral medications to treat type 2 diabetes.

Obesity can impact patient health in several ways relevant to anaesthesia. It is associated with reduced lung capacity and increased risk of respiratory conditions like sleep apnea. It can also impact the cardiovascular system by increasing blood pressure and risk of blood clots. Pre-operative evaluation of obese patients should screen for respiratory diseases and risk of venous thromboembolism. Tests like spirometry and overnight oximetry may be useful, and treatment of conditions like sleep apnea can reduce peri-operative risk. Airway management may also be complicated in obese patients and appropriate preparation is important.
This document discusses bariatric surgery and provides information about preoperative evaluation and management of obese patients undergoing such procedures. It defines terms like BMI, ideal body weight and comorbidities associated with obesity. It emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, including evaluation of pulmonary, cardiac, endocrine and airway status. Risk scoring systems to predict mortality are presented. Intraoperative management challenges like difficult intubation are also addressed.
Obesity is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. It is associated with numerous medical complications and increases surgical risk. Anesthetizing obese patients requires special considerations. Due to reduced lung volumes, obese patients are more prone to hypoxemia and respiratory failure. Airway management can also be difficult due to limited mobility and excess soft tissue. Careful preoperative optimization is important given increased cardiovascular and metabolic risks. During anesthesia, dosing of some drugs should be based on ideal body weight rather than total weight.

2. The ABCDE approach involves assessing the airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure/environment. Initial assessment involves stabilizing the patient and identifying life-threatening problems. Further examination is then conducted once the patient is stabilized.
3. Severity of illness scoring systems like APACHE II and SOFA are used to predict outcomes, guide resource allocation, and evaluate quality of care over time. They assess physiological variables and degree of organ dysfunction to determine illness severity.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a neonatal emergency that occurs when abdominal organs push into the chest cavity through a defect in the diaphragm. It has traditionally had high mortality rates, but preoperative stabilization techniques including nitric oxide, high frequency ventilation, ECMO, and permissive hypercapnia have reduced mortality to under 75%. The presentation depends on when during fetal development the hernia occurred. Treatment involves preoperative stabilization followed by surgical repair once stabilized, with postoperative care focused on managing pulmonary hypertension and hypoplasia. Prognosis depends on the degree of lung and heart hypoplasia and presence of other defects.

Anesthesia for tracheoesophageal fistulaHazem Sharaf
Anesthesia is required for repair of tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) in a newborn infant. The infant requires careful preoperative evaluation and stabilization. During surgery, maintaining adequate ventilation and oxygenation while minimizing airway pressures is crucial due to the risk of gastric insufflation and aspiration. Postoperative ventilation may be needed for several days due to lung issues and the repaired tracheal wall. Careful anesthetic management is needed for a successful outcome in this high-risk surgery.
This document discusses obstetric embolism, including amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). It provides data on maternal deaths in Malaysia from these causes from 2006-2012. It also outlines risk factors for VTE in pregnancy, signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment guidelines involving low molecular weight heparin, unfractionated heparin, or warfarin. Strategies to reduce VTE risk include modifying risks factors before pregnancy, awareness and guidelines, and risk-based management during pregnancy and postpartum.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

Fourth National Audit Project (NAP4)
Airway complications that are pertinent to the airway management of the obese
patient
• There was often a lack of recognition and planning for potential airway problems
• As a result of the reduced safe apnoea time, when airway complications occurred, ..
they did so rapidly and potentially catastrophically
• There was evidence that rescue techniques such as supraglottic airway devices and
emergency cricothyroidotomy had an increased failure rate
• Adverse events occurred more frequently in obese patients when anaesthetised by
inexperienced staff

Intra-operative
5) Emergence of anesthesia
- reversal of neuromuscular blockade, guided by a nerve stimulator
- airway reflexed should be restored and patients should be breathing with
good tidal volumes
extubation in sitting position
- in case of OSAS: insertion of nasopharyngeal airway
- until patients wakes up

Post-operative
1) Immediate post-anesthesia care: monitoring (respiration rate, apnoea)
- oxygen therapy, CPAP
prevent apnoea/hypnoea with oxygen desaturation
2) Analgesia
- intramuscular route: not preferable
- patient-controlled analgesia: not preferable (risk: respiratory depression)
- epidural analgesia: not preferable (↓ post-operative mobility)
- subarachnoid block with opioid adjunct: preferable

Patients with centrally distributed or ‘visceral’ fat are at greater peri-operative risk than those with peripherally distributed fat, and are far more likely to exhibit the metabolic syndrome, which consists of central obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and hypercholesterolemia.
OSA is associated with a greater than doubling of the incidence of postoperative desaturation, respiratory failure, postoperative cardiac events and ICU admission.
Obesity is strongly associated with increased insulin
resistance [31]. Poor glycaemic control in the perioperative
period is associated with increased morbidity,
and good glycaemic control is recommended [32].
Gastric bypass surgery causes a unique neurohumeral response, resulting in a rapid, dramatic reduction in insulin requirement, starting immediately after surgery. In this cohort of patients, cautious postoperative reintroduction of diabetic medication and frequent blood sugar monitoring are essential.
