Rhino-orbital-cerebral Mucor mycosis is a rare, opportunistic, fatal fungal infection most commonly seen in diabetic and immunocompromised individuals, but an outbreak of cases was seen in post COVID-19 patients during the second wave in India. Our aim is to elaborate the anaesthetic management of post COVID-19 Mucor mycosis patients scheduled for FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) for debridement of involved areas. Here, we have discussed the anaesthetic challenges faced in a series of eleven patients with COVID-19 and Mucor mycosis such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, irrational use of steroids for the treatment of COVID-19, amphotericin B and its interactions with anaesthetic management. Preventive measures in COVID-19 patients, early detection, timely management, perioperative vigilant monitoring, multidisciplinary approach will reduce the morbidity and mortality in these patients. As limited data is available, further studies are necessary to understand aetiology and pathogenesis of Mucor mycosis in post COVID-19 for better management.
鼻-眶-脑毛霉菌病是一种罕见的、机会性的、致命的真菌感染,最常见于糖尿病和免疫功能低下的个体,但在印度的第二波COVID-19后患者中发现了病例暴发。我们的目的是详细阐述计划进行FESS(功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术)清创的COVID-19后毛霉菌病患者的麻醉管理。在这里,我们讨论了11例2019冠状病毒病合并毛霉菌病患者在麻醉方面面临的挑战,如未控制的糖尿病、治疗COVID-19时不合理使用类固醇、两性霉素B及其与麻醉管理的相互作用。对COVID-19患者采取预防措施,早期发现,及时管理,围手术期警惕监测,多学科结合,将降低这些患者的发病率和死亡率。由于数据有限,需要进一步研究以了解COVID-19后毛霉菌病的病因和发病机制,以便更好地管理。

Coins are commonly ingested foreign body (FB) in children, particularly the area just below the cricopharyngeus muscle, being the most common site of lodgement. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the upper airway as an investigation arm to guide and assist the clinical management of foreign body coin in children with expectant management for spontaneous passage. A total of 50 children with coin in upper oesophagus were chosen and POCUS was done in the preoperative area. Those in whom coin was visualised on POCUS were taken for retrieval under general anaesthesia and in whom coin was not visualised were taken for 2 nd X-ray to confirm passage. In 50 children with a coin in upper oesophagus, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) showed the presence of coin in 44 children (confirmed on esophagoscopy) and spontaneous passage in 6 children (confirmed on 2 nd X-ray), thus resulting in the reduction of approximately 88% of 2 nd check X-ray to demonstrate the position of coin.
硬币通常是儿童摄入的异物(FB),尤其是环咽肌下方的区域,是最常见的沉积部位。本研究的目的是评估上呼吸道护理点超声(POCUS)作为一种调查手段的有效性,以指导和协助儿童异物硬币的临床管理,并对自发通过进行预期管理。共选择50名上食道有硬币的儿童,并在术前区域进行POCUS检查。那些在POCUS上看到硬币的人在全身麻醉下被取出,而硬币没有被看到的人被取出进行第二次X光检查以确认通过。在50名上食道有硬币的儿童中,护理点超声(POCUS)显示44名儿童存在硬币(经食道镜检查证实),6名儿童自发通过(经第2次X光检查证实)。因此,显示硬币位置的第2次检查X光检查减少了约88%。

The novel coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic state which affects the respiratory system of patients. Given the current situation, any acute respiratory distress has to be evaluated thoroughly to arrive at a definitive diagnosis for targeted management, which is challenging. We report a patient who presented with respiratory distress with fat embolism syndrome that was suspected as COVID-19 pneumonia.

Studies suggest that flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy, when performed through a laryngeal mask airway (FFB-LMA), have fewer rates of complications and better efficacy. In comparison to rigid bronchoscopy, FFB is safer for the operator, as it prevents direct exposure to respiratory tract infections such as Covid-19. Airway maintenance with LMA is uncommon when performing FFB in Sri Lanka. This study aimed to report the efficacy and peri-procedural complications of FFB performed through LMA at a tertiary care children's hospital in Sri Lanka. Data were retrieved retrospectively from anaesthetic charts and bed head tickets of all the patients who underwent FFBs performed through LMA at the Sirimavo Bandaranayake Specialized Children's Hospital, Peradeniya. Collected data included age, gender, indication, duration of the procedure, bronchoscopy findings, and complications, if any. Of the total of 176 patients, the majority were infants and between 1-5 years (33.52% each). The most common indication was recurrent/persistent respiratory tract infections (57.9%) followed by foreign body aspirations (21.6%). Clinically significant abnormalities were detected in 87% of the cases. The success rate of extraction of positively identified foreign bodies was 100%. Perioperative complications were observed in 4.5% of the patients. Risk factor analysis, based on multivariate logistic regression, identified the duration of the procedure as a risk factor for complications (OR = 15.57, p = 0.0011). FFB performed through LMA has good efficacy and low complication profile in the studied patient sample.
研究表明,当通过喉罩气道(FFB-LMA)进行柔性纤维支气管镜检查时,并发症发生率更低,疗效更好。与硬性支气管镜检查相比,FFB对操作者来说更安全,因为它可以防止直接接触新冠肺炎等呼吸道感染。在斯里兰卡进行FFB时,使用LMA进行气道维护并不常见。本研究旨在报告斯里兰卡一家三级儿童医院通过LMA进行FFB的疗效和围手术期并发症。从Peradeniya Sirimavo Bandaranayake专门儿童医院通过LMA进行FFB的所有患者的麻醉图表和床头票中回顾性检索数据。收集的数据包括年龄、性别、适应症、手术持续时间、支气管镜检查结果和并发症(如有)。在总共176名患者中,大多数是1-5岁的婴儿(各占33.52%)。最常见的指征是反复/持续的呼吸道感染(57.9%),其次是异物渴望(21.6%)。87%的病例出现临床显著异常。提取阳性异物的成功率为100%。4.5%的患者出现了围手术期并发症。基于多元逻辑回归的风险因素分析将手术持续时间确定为并发症的风险因素(OR=15.57,p=0.0011)。在研究的患者样本中,通过LMA进行的FFB具有良好的疗效和较低的并发症发生率。

Dear Editor, A patient under general anaesthesia is like a passenger on board to a flight for his surgery with an anaesthetist as the pilot. The anaesthetist is responsible for the smooth take-off, stable journey, and hassle-free landing. That is how an anaesthesiologist plays a role in handling a patient when he is anaesthetized. Anaesthesiology was an infamous specialty till this Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hit worldwide—the specialist who was always behind the curtains.
亲爱的编辑:全身麻醉下的病人就像飞机上的一名乘客,由麻醉师作为飞行员进行手术。麻醉师负责平稳起飞、稳定旅程和无障碍着陆。这就是麻醉师在病人被麻醉时如何处理病人的作用。麻醉学是一门臭名昭著的专业,直到这场冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行袭击了全世界——一位总是躲在幕后的专家。

Cases of anaesthetic management in Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome (RTS) has been confined to a small number since it was first diagnosed in 1963. Anaesthesia for RTS is rare, but consists of few important anaesthetic implications. We present a 3-year-old boy with RTS who underwent general anaesthesia for correction of clinodactyly. He experienced an episode of desaturation with no obvious reason that lead him to have supplemental oxygen and monitoring in the intensive care unit.
自1963年首次诊断出Rubinstein Taybi综合征(RTS)以来,麻醉管理的病例一直局限于少数。RTS的麻醉是罕见的,但包括一些重要的麻醉含义。我们报告一名患有RTS的3岁男孩,他接受了全身麻醉以矫正斜指。他经历了一次无明显原因的去饱和发作,导致他在重症监护室接受补充氧气和监测。

Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited autosomal recessive metabolic disorder due to the deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase resulting in accumulation of homogentisic acid in collagen and cartilaginous tissue resulting in stiffening of joints, spine and involving other systems which pose challenges to anaesthesiologist in providing anaesthesia. Here we present a patient with undiagnosed alkaptonuria who was posted for bilateral total knee replacement. Since these patients usually have reduced intervertebral spaces, neuraxial anaesthesia was difficult with classic approach. Taylor’s approach was used for neuraxial anaesthesia and, post-operative analgesia was achieved with continuous femoral nerve block with catheter placement.
尿酸症是一种罕见的遗传常染色体隐性代谢疾病,由于均质酸氧化酶的缺乏导致胶原蛋白和软骨组织中均质酸的积累,导致关节、脊柱僵硬,并涉及其他系统,这给麻醉师提供麻醉带来了挑战。在这里,我们提出了一名患有未确诊的尿尿症的患者,他接受了双侧全膝关节置换术。由于这些患者通常椎间隙缩小,传统入路难以进行轴向麻醉。Taylor入路用于轴向麻醉,术后通过置管连续股神经阻滞实现镇痛。

A prospective cross-sectional single centre clinical study was performed to determine the incidence of anaemia and blood transfusion practice in neurosurgical and neurotrauma intensive care units (ICU). All the adult patients who met the criteria and were admitted to the neurosurgical and neurotrauma ICUs of National Hospital of Sri Lanka from 15April to 14 June 2013 were included in the study. Out of the 100 patients in the study, 82% were anaemic on admission and 95% had anaemia at some point during ICU stay. The mean haemoglobin (Hb) level was less than10g/dl in 30% of patients. 47% of patients received blood transfusion in the ICU. Only 23.6% of the transfusion events met the standards for the transfusion trigger.

Only 23.6% of the transfusion events met the standards for the transfusion trigger.","PeriodicalId":41531,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lankan Journal of Anaesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49116937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paraspinal abscess or clinically significant soft tissue infection following epidural analgesia is a rare but serious complication if left untreated. We report a 54-year-old gentleman with underlying chronic diabetes mellitus who had a motor vehicle accident and had undergone several surgeries. A course of steroid was provided for delayed left lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy (House-Brackmann stage 4). The epidural catheter was inserted with a single attempt at the L3/L4 level. One month later, he complained of crippling lower back pain and growing swelling with a punctum. MRI showed a paraspinal abscess with bilateral involvement of the spinae erector. This report is intended to highlight the excellent outcome of surgical treatment for paraspinal abscess despite the late presentation. A high level of suspicion should be taken into account when the patient is immunocompromised, particularly with steroid use and chronic diabetes mellitus. Early detection via MRI, high suspicion index and immediate surgery have extraordinary benefits in managing paraspinal abscesses.
硬膜外镇痛后的椎管旁脓肿或临床上显著的软组织感染是一种罕见但严重的并发症,如果不及时治疗的话。我们报告了一位患有潜在慢性糖尿病的54岁绅士,他发生了一起机动车事故,并接受了几次手术。为延迟性左下运动神经元面神经麻痹(House Brackmann 4期)提供了一个类固醇疗程。硬膜外导管在L3/L4水平单次插入。一个月后,他抱怨下背部严重疼痛,并伴有泪点肿胀。核磁共振成像显示脊柱旁脓肿伴双侧竖脊肌受累。本报告旨在强调手术治疗椎旁脓肿的良好结果,尽管其出现较晚。当患者免疫功能低下时,应考虑高度怀疑,尤其是使用类固醇和慢性糖尿病患者。MRI的早期发现、高怀疑指数和立即手术对治疗椎旁脓肿有着非凡的益处。
