Review Case Reports[Massive pneumocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid fistula after thoracotomy].
We report the case of a 70-year-old man (ASA physical status 2) who developed massive pneumocephalus caused by a fistula between the subarachnoid and pleural spaces following a left pneumonectomy. After an uneventful immediate postoperative period, the patient was readmitted to the recovery care unit with dyspnea, intense headache, confusion, and diminished level of consciousness. Computed tomography confirmed a cerebrospinal fluid fistula secondary to the opening of the intradural space during tumor resection. Treatment was conservative, consisting of rest in a slightly Trendelenburg position, antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent meningitis, and a water seal on the thoracic drainage tube.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison of rapid anesthetic induction with sevoflurane vs target-controlled infusion of propofol].
To determine whether inhalation induction is faster than target-controlled infusion (TCI). ⋯ Anesthetic induction is faster with a TCI of propofol based on Ce than with sevoflurane. The propofol Ce was consistent with the direction of change in the AAI.
