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.

Four Segments Versus two Segments Paravertebral Block for Inguinal Hernia Repair
Background: Paravertebral block (PVB) has been successfully used to provide good analgesia with fewer side effects in inguinal herniorrhaphy. So, the present study was conducted to compare the characteristics of two segm...
Effects of Intrathecal 5µg Dexmedetomidine with Hyperbaric Bupivacaine as Compared to Plain Bupivacaine on Hemodynamic Changes
Introduction: Spinal anesthesia is characteristically associated with slowing of the rate. The degree of bradycardia as well as the frequency with which it can he roughly correlated with the extent of sympathetic denerva...
The Efficacy of Fentanyl as Adjuvant in Ultrasound Guided Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
Ultrasound guided oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block is associated with a wider area of spread (T7L1). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of adding fentanyl to 0.25%bupivacaine in bilatera...
Xenon: The Future Anaesthetic Agent
After the discovery of xenon in 1898, xenon anaesthesia has been studied for decades. The search for an inert gas to replace N2O led to introduction of xenon in anaesthesia practice. Xenon’s anaesthetic properties were d...
