Anaesthetic Management of a Case of Severe Pulmonary Artery Hypertension for Excission of A Vulval Mass
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
It is known that patients with pulmonary hypertension are at high risk for anaesthesia and surgery. Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) has now been replaced byidiopathic pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). PAH is arareform of progressive fatal disease. Occasionally these patients may be posted for non cardiac surgeries.Ideal anaesthetic technique involves maintaining of stable pulmonary and hemodynamicparameters for a possible good outcome. Here we present a 31 year old female with severe pulmonary artery hypertension who underwent successful excision of a hugevulvalmass.

Comparison of Efficacy of Intraperitoneal Instillation of Ropivacaine with Ropivacaine Dexmedetomidine Combination for Post-Operative Analgesia Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Background and Aims: Intraperitoneal instillation of local anaesthetics is one of the recent techniques to minimize post-operative pain after laparoscopic surgeries. We compared the effects of intraperitoneal instillatio...
Comparison of Equipotent Doses of Hyperbaric Ropivacaine and Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine in Spinal Anaesthesia for Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal and Lower Limb Surgeries
Background: Spinal anaesthesia provides sensory as well as motor blockade. Levobupivacaine is less cardio toxic than bupivacaine, as it has decreased potency at the sodium channel. Ropivacaine is similar in chemical stru...
