Review[Subarachnoid hemorrhage and systemic arterial pressure. Physiopathology and perioperative management].
A correct assessment of arterial pressure state during subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is one of most critical issue in neurologic intensive care and in neuroanesthesia. It is important to evaluate two different clinical conditions during SAH: before and after aneurysmal clipping or embolization. ⋯ In this review the Authors examine the pathophysiology of SAH and SAH complications as rebleeding, vasospasm and ischemia. According to international data, they propose pressure parameters appropriated for SAH according to timing of treatment so as to prevent and treat SAH complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Endotracheal tube cuff pressure. Monitoring during general anesthesia].
To value changes of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during anaesthesia with N2O, using standard tubes or Brandt-system tubes. ⋯ Brandt's double cuff-tubes (G2) succeed in avoiding uncontrolled increase of cuff-pressure during anaesthesia with N2O. Standard low-pressure tubes (G1) shown increase of cuff pressure during anaesthesia with N2O which is absent using no N2O (G3).

Clinical Trial[Early tracheal extubation ofter orthotopic liver transplantation].
To evaluate an early tracheal extubation feasibility in previously unselected orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) patients. ⋯ To perform a safe early tracheal extubation in previously unselected OLT patients is feasible and it can be carried out in a wide number of them. The previously reported timing characterizing as "early" a tracheal extubation should be moved from 8 to 3 hours.
