Case ReportsFoley catheter used as bronchial blocker for one lung ventilation in a patient with tracheostomy--a case report.
Anesthesia with one-lung ventilation is a good anesthetic technique for patients receiving thoracotomy in various underlying diseases. One lung ventilation can be achieved successfully by the application of a double-lumen endotracheal tube through the oral route. ⋯ Bronchial blocker with a Fogarty embolectomy catheter has been used successfully for such situations. Here, we reported the clinical experience in using the Foley catheter as the bronchial blocker in a patient with tracheostomy.

The physiological effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum in pediatric laparoscopy.
The physiological effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy is a great concern of the anesthesiologists. Its effect in pediatric laparoscopy has not been previously reported. The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological alteration of pediatric patients during CO2 pneumoperitoneum. ⋯ The changes of PETCO2 during laparoscopy did not influence the hemodynamic stability in our study. The younger children give a faster reaction time of PETCO2 change after CO2 insufflation than do the older children which may be related to the variation of physiological exhibition at different state of development.

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.

Comparative StudyComparison of the incidence of postpartum low back pain in natural childbirth and cesarean section with spinal anesthesia.
Many parturients and their obstetricians believe that spinal anesthesia will cause low back pain (LBP). ⋯ We concluded that postpartum LBP could be related to changes during pregnancy and not related to spinal anesthesia.
