AbstractAbstract PDF
Introduction: we measured the hemodynamic changes by the thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) device during induction of anesthesia, endotracheal intubation or insertion of layngeal mask airway (LMA). This TEB device is safe, reliable and estimate continuously and invasively hemodynamic variables.
METHODS
We measured the cardiovascular response of endotracheal intubation or that of LMA insertion in thirty ASA class I patients. General anesthesia was induced with injection of fentany 1 microgram/kg, thiopetal sodium 5 mg/kg and vecuronium 1 mg/kg intravenously. Controlled ventilation was for 3 minutes with inhalation of 50% nitrous oxide and 1.5 vol% of enflurane before tracheal intubation or LMA insertion in all patients. The patient was randomly assinged to either tracheal intubation group (ET group) or laryngeal mask airway group (LMA group). Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), stroke index (SI) and cardic index (CI) were measured to pre-induction, pre-intubation, 1 minute after intubation, 2 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 7 minute.
RESULTS
MAP and SVR were decreased effectively LMA group than ET group during 1 minute after intubation, 2 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 7 minute (p<0.05). HR was decreased effectively LMA group than ET group between pre-induction and 1 minute after intubation, between 1 minute after intubation and 2 minute after intubation (p<0.05). But, SI and CI were no difference between ET group and LMA group during induction of anesthesia and intubation (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The insertion of LMA is beneficial for certain patients than endotracheal tube to avoid harmful cardiovascular response in the management of airway during anesthesia.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by the remittent or progressive accumulation of lipid-rich proteinaceous material within the alveolar space in the absence of inflammatory response. The removal of lipoproteinaceous material from the alveolar can the only means of effectively treating the progressive hypoxemia in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage using a double-lumen endotracheal tube is an accepted modality for treatment of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. We had utilized sequential bronchoalveolar lavage successfully for the treatment of a 51 year-old male patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. There was no hypoxemia and unstable hemodynamics during the procedure. We conclude that the procedure will be safely performed by careful monitoring.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Indication for fiberoptic intubation in an awake patient include almost any abnormality that may hinder the expeditious placement of an endotracheal tube during anesthetic induction. An epistaxis is the most frequent complication of nasotracheal intubation. The patient was admitted for open reduction and internal fixation due to severe mandible fracture. We experienced a case of atelectasis due to epistaxis aspiration during awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation in the conscious patient regionally anesthetized by both superior laryngeal nerve block and translaryngeal anesthesia, which is treated by saline irrigation, suction, active coughing and chest percussion.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Correction of a calcified patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a difficult surgical procedure. Simple ligation or division of PDA is not possible if diffuse circumferential calcification is present. Several techniques using cardiopulmonary bypass and closure of PDA from within the aorta or pulmonary artery have been introduced. And the surgical procedure is performed under profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Total ischemia time should be less than 30 minutes, which is free from the organ damage by the circulatory arrest. Barbiturates, calcium channel blockers and steroids are used for brain protection. We experienced successful use of these techniques for adult female patch closure of PDA and reviewed the anesthetic considerations of the profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest for cardiac surgery.
