Postoperative outcome in high-risk infants undergoing herniorrhaphy: comparison between spinal and general anaesthesia.

abstract：:A can't intubate, can't ventilate scenario can result in morbidity and death. Although a rare occurrence (1:50 000 general anaesthetics), it is crucial that anaesthetists maintain the skills necessary to perform cricothyroidotomy, and are well-equipped with appropriate tools. We undertook a bench study comparing a new...

abstract：:J waves appear on an electrocardiogram as an elevation of the J point in the terminal portion of the QRS complex. J waves are often benign, but may be associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. In some cases, such problems appear to have been precipitated by propofol infusions. We observed a sudden increase in...
