ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS UNDERGOING FLEXIBLE URETERORENOLITHOTRIPSY: A CASE REPORT

Anesthetic Management of a Patient With Myasthenia Gravis Undergoing Thoracoscopic Thymectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by fluctuating skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. Perioperative management is challenging because patients may have bulbar or respiratory muscle involvement and altered sensitivity to neuromuscular blocking agents, increasing the risk of po...

Case Report: Robot-assisted nissen fundoplication in spinal muscular atrophy type 2—a tailored surgical and anaesthetic strategy

Antireflux surgery may be required in patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 (SMA2), but disease-specific experience is limited. To our knowledge, we report the first robot-assisted Nissen fundoplication in SMA2. A 23-year-old woman with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, bulbar dysfunction, impaired secreti...

Anesthetic management in a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome undergoing open reduction and internal fixation for subtrochanteric femur fracture: a case report

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy associated with peripheral nerve involvement, autonomic dysfunction, and heightened sensitivity to anesthetic agents, making anesthetic technique selection challenging. We report a patient with a prior diagnosis of GBS (axonal variant, acu...

CASE REPORT

Anesthetic management of a patient with giant emphysematous bullae undergoing total thyroidectomy under spontaneous ventilation: A case report

Patients with longstanding chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are sometimes complicated by emphysematous bullae. These patients pose major challenges during the administration of general anesthesia. Their compromised respiratory reserve due to coexisting restrictive lung pathology puts them at high risk of adverse c...

Anesthetic management of bronchopleural fistula repair with severe pneumonia in a 74-year-old man using one-lung ventilation combined with high-flow veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation without continuous systemic heparinization: a case report

Background Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a serious complication following lung resection, often leading to respiratory failure. In one study of 6,239 patients, 43 (0.65%) developed early BPF, and cases complicated by contralateral pneumonia have rarely been reported. Case Description We present the case of a 74-year-...
