Case Reports[Complications of massive blood transfusion after intrathoracic hemorrhage--a case report].
Acute hemorrhage leading to acute hypovolomic shock is a medical emergency carrying high mortality. It therefore requires prompt and effective treatment. We reported a case of lung tumor receiving lobectomy at our hospital. ⋯ Some complications of massive blood transfusion. Some complications of massive blood transfusion were noted later. A total of 89 units of whole blood, 34 units of fresh frozen plasma and 28 units of platelet was given.

[Clinical experience of laryngeal mask airway in lateral position during anesthesia].
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA), inserted blindly into hypopharynx in patients in supine position, has been reported to be successful in the management of the airway and can provide adequate ventilation during anesthesia. In our study, we used LMA to maintain airway during anesthesia in patients in lateral position. ⋯ We demonstrated that LMA can be easily inserted and can provide effective patency of airway during anesthesia even in lateral position. It can be used as a substitute for face-mask in anesthesia in this position to prevent complications such as pressure injury that a face-mask may cause.
