Case Reports[Acute pulmonary edema due to airway obstruction during postanesthetic recovery].
We report a postanesthetic complication that has not been described in the literature. A 22-year-old man (ASA 1) developed acute pulmonary edema on awakening from balanced anesthesia for scheduled sagittal mandibular ramus osteotomy and implantation of a paranasal graft. ⋯ We also review the differential diagnosis of possible causes of acute pulmonary edema during the postanesthetic recovery. The postoperative course in this case was good.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Tracheal intubation quality under remifentanil-propofol with sevoflurane compared with remifentanil-propofol with rocuronium: a randomized double-blind clinical trial].
To determine whether intubation conditions under remifentanil-propofol plus sevoflurane rather than a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker are similar to those obtained when a neuromuscular blocker is used. ⋯ Adequate doses of remifentanil, propofol, and sevoflurane provide intubation conditions that are similar to those achieved by using a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker, without exposing patients to additional risk. Avoiding use of a neuromuscular blocker would circumvent the development of complications associated with use of these agents or their antagonists and costs would be lower.
