Acute fatal haemorrhage during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The effect of anaesthetic drugs on long-term oncological outcomes after cancer surgery is an area of current interest. Dexamethasone is widely used in anaesthetic practice; however, its effect on long-term survival and cancer outcomes is not known. This study presents the results of a 5-yr follow-up of patie...
