Review Case Reports[Reexpansion pulmonary edema a vacuo: a case report and literature review].
Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare and potentially lethal complication with a 15 to 20% mortality. We report one case of pulmonary edema after evacuation of spontaneous right pneumothorax The pathophysiology of reexpansion pulmonary edema remains obscure; mechanical and inflammatory processes (production of Inerleukin 8--and Leukotrienne B4) seem incriminated. Duration and seventy of lung collapse and the rate of reexpansion appear to be the main causes justifying preventive measures. Curative treatment is based on oxygenation and lower aspiration pressure.

Review[Focus on the various techniques of anaesthesia in ophthalmologic surgery].
Ophthalmologic surgery is not a vital one. It mostly concerns patients in extreme ages: children and old people. The risk of anaesthesia mainly depends on the health conditions of the patient. ⋯ We find it safe, efficacisious and economical. Regional anaesthesia is preferred to general anaesthesia especially in the surgery of dacryocystitis and ptosis. General anaesthesia in stell indicated in case of children.
