BACKGROUND As both APTT and APTT-based coagulation method cannot distinguish heparin effect from intrinsic coagulation factor deficiency, we implemented thromboelastography (TEG) for the coagulation assessment in a patient with hemophilia A undergoing an endovascular surgery with heparinization. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old male with hemophilia A underwent endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurism. TEG results showed recovery of coagulation time (R) in both kaolin assay (CK) and kaolin-heparinase assay (CKH) after factor VIII replacement before heparinization. Against our expectations, R-CKH was slightly prolonged (9.0 min) during heparinization. After the administration of protamine sulfate, R in both assays showed similar values within the normal ranges. CONCLUSIONS The combination of CK and CKH assays could be useful to estimate factor VIII (FVIII) level when heparin concentration is low or without heparin; however, caution should be necessary for estimation of FVIII level by TEG under the effect of medium- or high-dose heparin.PURPOSE Lumbar epidural analgesia (LEA) is the most widely used method in reducing labor pain. Previous RCTs have shown that LEA does not increase cesarean section rates; however, the results are inconsistent and may vary depending on the different backgrounds. Therefore, we aimed to study whether LEA would affect the course of labor in our institute. METHODS Delivery records from October 2013 to April 2016 were collected. Deliveries at gestational age less then 36 weeks and multiple pregnancies were excluded. All cases were divided into the non-epidural labor (NEL) group or the epidural labor (EL) group. We performed a propensity score matching analysis to balance intergroup differences. Our primary outcome was a mode of delivery (spontaneous, assisted vaginal, cesarean). Secondary outcomes were lengths of labor and outcomes of the neonates. RESULTS During the study period, 2632 cases met the inclusion criteria. All analyses were performed after propensity score matching (218 pairs). The percentage of assisted vaginal delivery increased by the use of LEA (11.5% in NEL group vs 25.7% in EL group; p less then 0.001), but the rate of cesarean section was similar (12.8% vs 17.0%; p = 0.23). The durations of the first and second stages of labor were prolonged by the use of LEA in both primipara and multipara women. Outcomes of the neonates were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION Use of LEA did not increase the rate of cesarean section when analyzed by propensity score-matched analysis in our institute.BACKGROUND INTELLiVENT®-ASV (iASV) is a respiration mode on the Hamilton G5. The ventilator uses a closed-loop mechanism that automatically adjusts settings related to oxygenation and ventilation. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old man underwent reconstruction surgery with free musculocutaneous flap for tongue resection. After surgery, the patient entered the ICU, and the iASV, which automatically changed only the percent minute volume (%MV) in respiration mode, was selected. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gdc6036.html On the second day, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was diagnosed, and the antibiotic treatment was changed. Using the settings of the iASV, automated FiO2 and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) control were added to the ventilator mode. The patient's oxygenation was improved. CONCLUSIONS In a patient who developed VAP after surgery, ventilation was continued using iASV, and automated changes in PEEP and FiO2 settings were successfully made according to the open lung strategy, under short-staffed circumstances.BACKGROUND Involuntary muscle contraction caused by extracardiac stimulation is a rare complication induced by a pacemaker. We report a case who developed sudden onset diaphragmatic contractions during general anesthesia caused by a DDD mode pacemaker. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old woman with a permanent pacemaker was scheduled to undergo mastectomy. The pacing mode was switched from DDD to VOO intraoperatively to avoid electromagnetic interference. Immediately after returning the pacing mode to DDD after surgery, diaphragmatic contractions occurred, mimicking bucking type of movements. After switching the pacing to A-sense V-pace, the twitching ceased. Because no structural problems were noted, and the twitching disappeared after terminating atrial pacing, diaphragmatic contractions might be caused by stimulation of the right phrenic nerve located near the right appendage where the electrode was installed. CONCLUSION The potential risk of muscle twitching should be carefully evaluated preoperatively especially in patients with atypical position of pacemaker leads.BACKGROUND Radiation enteritis following radiotherapy targeting the abdomen occasionally causes ulcers or ileus, which can be difficult to treat and usually progressive and refractory, significantly degrading the patient's quality of life. CASE PRESENTATION A 58-year-old woman had undergone surgery for cervical cancer approximately 21 years ago. During treatment, she had also received radiotherapy targeting the pelvis and stomach. She presented with complaints of vomiting and lower abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with multiple gastric ulcers, enterocolitis, and paralytic ileus due to late radiation-induced sequelae. We reasoned that visceral sympathetic block would improve the abdominal symptoms; therefore, we performed a splanchnic nerve block and an inferior mesenteric artery plexus block. As predicted, these block procedures improved the symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Radiation enteritis is an iatrogenic disease, and there is no established treatment for intractable cases. However, visceral sympathetic nerve block may show efficacy as a potential therapy for radiation enteritis-associated abdominal pain and ileus.BACKGROUND Modified electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT) is utilized worldwide as an effective treatment for drug-resistant psychiatric disorders. However, during m-ECT, treatment of hypotension and hypertension in response to rapid hemodynamic changes is required. We used noninvasive continuous blood pressure monitoring system for continuous hemodynamic measurement during m-ECT. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 77-year-old man with depression complicated by coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs). We managed general anesthesia during m-ECT by using the ClearSight™ system (Edwards Lifesciences Corp, Irvine, CA, USA) for hemodynamic measurement. As a result, we performed a total of 10 m-ECTs. No rupture of CAAs or myocardial ischemia occurred and depressive symptoms improved. CONCLUSION We successfully managed the anesthesia in m-ECT for a depressed patient with CAAs without complications by using the ClearSight™ system, which was used for the effective management of circulatory fluctuations.
