[Rhabdomyolysis caused by improper intraoperative positioning. Clinical and medico-legal aspects].

Abstract:

:The etiology, diagnosis, pathology and treatment of rhabdomyolysis due to intraoperative malpositioning and the medico-legal implications of physicians involved in the surgical treatment and anesthesia of the patient are described. According to the Italian law, the anesthesiologist is the only physician of the surgery-anesthesia team responsible for the patient's positioning. The anesthesiologist must assume primary responsibility for protecting the patient from iatrogenic injuries due to improper positioning, and/or inadequate preventive measures.

  • Are hot-burning sensations produced by the axonal damage of afferent unmyelinated fibres?

    abstract:AIM:Pain resulting from nerve lesions is classically referred to as a ''burning pain''. Both the axonal damage and sensitization of unmyelinated C-fibres have been considered as the possible generators of this sensation. The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that hot-burning sensations are produced by the ...
