Neuromyelitis optica spectrum of disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune inflammatory relapsing astrocytopathy due to immunoglobulin against aquaporin 4 (AQP4) receptor. It is characterized by demyelination of the spinal cord and optic nerve. The vulnerability of demyelinated neurons to local anesthetics and increased response to neuromuscular blocking agents make the choice of anesthesia challenging. The rarity of the disease has made the literature scarce, especially when it comes to those undergoing surgeries and their anesthetic implications. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient with NMOSD who underwent modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma breast under general anesthesia. The use of multimodal analgesia for pain management and the avoidance of muscle relaxants resulted in an uneventful perioperative period in this patient.

PAH associated eisemnenger syndrome is a congenital heart diseases with bidirectional or reversed shunt. The maternal mortality in this syndrome is very high 30-50%. We present a case series of 3 patients with eisemnenger syndrome with successful materno-faetal outcome of patients under general anaesthesia for category 1 LSCS. The focus of anesthetic management was to preserve SVR (systemic vascular resistance) to PVR (pulmonary vascular resistance) ratio.

Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac, exerting pressure on the heart and impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. This condition can result from various causes, including trauma, infection, malignancy, or complications of medical procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) like percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The anaesthesiologists play a pivotal role as peri operative physicians in the catheterization laboratory and intensivists in the ICU in prompt recognition and intervention which is crucial to prevent hemodynamic collapse and improve patient outcomes. In this case, a female in her fifties with a history of previous PCI developed cardiac tamponade shortly after undergoing PTCA. Despite immediate stabilization attempts in the catheterization laboratory, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, necessitating emergency pericardiocentesis and subsequent thoracotomy for definitive management. The successful outcome of this case underscores the importance of early recognition, rapid intervention, and a multidisciplinary approach in managing cardiac tamponade post-PTCA.

: Bupivacaine is the drug of choice in spinal anaesthesia (SA), while Ropivacaine with its comparatively shorter duration of motor block allows early mobilization post ACL reconstruction surgery which is a crucial factor in Early Recovery after Surgery. : In this randomized double-blind comparative study of a total of 60 patients irrespective of gender undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery were studied. After Administration of SA to group R (2.5ml of 0.75% Heavy Ropivacaine) & group B (2.5ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine) both were compared for their post-operative effects with Bromage score, Aldrete score & Visual Analogue Score. : The time required for complete regression of motor blockade in group R (144.5+26.1 mins) < group B (181±21.3mins) which allowed for early mobilization which over all provides better and faster recovery.: Hyperbaric Ropivacaine when compared to Bupivacaine promises better results in terms of early ambulation and intraoperative hemodynamic stability promoting ERAS in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction surgeries. Promoting ERAS policy will reduce the duration of hospital stay, thereby improving the cost-effectiveness of health services.
:布比卡因是脊髓麻醉（SA）的首选药物，而罗比卡因的运动阻滞持续时间相对较短，可以在前交叉韧带重建手术后尽早活动，这是术后早期恢复的关键因素。 在这项随机双盲对比研究中，共有 60 名患者（不分男女）接受了前交叉韧带重建手术。R 组（2.5 毫升 0.75% 重型罗哌卡因）和 B 组（2.5 毫升 0.5% 布比卡因）在使用 SA 后，通过 Bromage 评分、Aldrete 评分和视觉模拟评分比较两组的术后效果。 R 组运动阻滞完全消退所需时间（144.5+26.1 分钟）< B 组（181±21.3 分钟），这使得患者可以尽早活动，从而更好更快地恢复：与布比卡因相比，高压氧罗哌卡因可使接受前交叉韧带重建手术的患者在早期活动和术中血流动力学稳定方面获得更好的效果，从而促进ERAS。推广 ERAS 政策将缩短住院时间，从而提高医疗服务的成本效益。

Paediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with Congenital Heart Disease (PH-CHD) are frequently encountered in non-cardiac surgical settings. Although the pharmacological and surgical management of the underlying CHD in the group has improved yet its management remains challenging due to associated high morbidity and mortality. The dilemma prevails more so because of the dearth of adequate literature describing its pathophysiology and management in non-cardiac surgical settings. There are no specific guidelines pertaining to paediatric PH-CHD care, and the precepts have been extrapolated from adult studies and guidelines. This review article intends to apprise the pathophysiology of PH-CHD, its management, and its perioperative care with special emphasis on pulmonary vascular hypertensive crisis in these patients posted for non-cardiac procedures.

The term Eisenmenger syndrome describe a large left-to-right cardiac shunt. Occur in 8% of patients with congenital heart disease. Pregnancies carries very high risk of mortality and premature delivery. 20-30% pregnancies result in spontaneous abortion and premature delivery. Pulmonary microembolism and macroembolism have caused peripartum maternal death even after delivery. Anaesthetic management is challenging due to the patho-physiology of the shunt. Our case report is a 27-year-old female known case of Eisenmenger syndrome with chronic thromboembolism presented with inevitable abortion scheduled to undergo emergency evacuation under general anaesthesia.

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare disease characterized by chronic progressive pan-endarteritis involving large blood vessels with resultant feeble pulsations in involved arteries. Therefore, it is also referred as pulseless disease. The challenges for anaesthesia management includes uncontrolled hypertension, invasive arterial monitoring, central nervous system monitoring and end-organ dysfunction. We present successful management of a middle-aged female diagnosed with TA posted for aorto-carotid graft. The anaesthesia management and complications encountered are highlighted.
高安氏动脉炎（TA）是一种罕见疾病，其特点是慢性进行性泛动脉炎累及大血管，受累动脉搏动微弱。因此，它也被称为无脉症。麻醉管理面临的挑战包括无法控制的高血压、有创动脉监测、中枢神经系统监控和终末器官功能障碍。我们介绍了一名被诊断患有 TA 的中年女性接受主动脉-颈动脉移植手术的成功案例。重点介绍麻醉管理和遇到的并发症。

A 57-year-old female with history of carcinoid syndrome along with extensive liver metastases presented for a right sided mastectomy and implant insertion for breast cancer. Preoperative optimization included an octreotide infusion and anxiolysis, as well as planning a cardiostable anaesthetic that avoided any crisis stressors. Ultrasound guided thoracic (T4) ESP block using 0.2% Ropivacaine was given under propofol sedation followed by remifentanil and propofol anaesthesia. Octreotide infusion along with boluses was used to treat hypotension and bradycardia intraoperatively. The combination of perioperative octreotide administration, intraoperative remifentanil and propofol anaesthesia and ESP block provided satisfactory anaesthesia. The block was effective for 36 hours post-operatively and the patient was discharged 48 hours post admission. We suggest that a novel interfascial plane block, ESP block is a useful addition to the armamentarium of the anaesthetist in the management of a patient with carcinoid syndrome with an aim to decrease dependence on morphine and preventing conversion to chronic pain.

Effective mask ventilation plays a critical role in safe management of airway before intubation or after failed intubation. Mask ventilation (MV) is the primary technique of ventilation before tracheal intubation or insertion of any airway device. Its most unique role however, is as a rescue technique for ventilation should tracheal intubation fail or prove difficult. The ability to establish adequate MV has, therefore, become a major branch point in any difficult airway algorithm. Despite it being an important skill, MV has received little attention in the extensive body of literature and book chapters addressing airway management when compared to laryngoscopy and intubation. At present, there is no standard definition for Difficult Mask Ventilation (DMV) that is based on precise and objective criterion. The authors propose a simple objective criterion to categorize difficult mask ventilation based on the best monitoring parameters.
