    Abstract: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare and autosomal dominant myopathy triggered by volatile anesthetics and depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents such as succinylcholine and is characterized by an acute hypermetabolic clinical state. This report presents the importance of preoperative preparation and perioperative management of patients with a... Show More

    Abstract: The constitutional deficiency in factor VII (FVII) of the coagulation is a rare autosomal recessive disease, responsible for a hemorrhagic syndrome of variable intensity poorly correlated with plasma levels of FVII. This deficit is suspected in front of an isolated reduction in the rate of prothrombine and confirmed by the dosage of this factor. We... Show More

    Abstract: Background: Tachycardia and hypertension are well documented sequels of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation; they are transient, highly variable and are generally well tolerated in healthy patients. In hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) these cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopy and intubation is exaggerated. The aim ... Show More

    Abstract: Background: Continuous spinal anaesthesia during Caesarean delivery has been found to offer considerable advantages over "single-shot" spinal. Aim: This study aimed to find the difference between priming and non-priming of the Wik-Wire extension set with local anaesthetic on the induction-incision interval. Methods: Thirty ASA I and II parturients ... Show More
