The perioperative management of patients with hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis is well known and has been described previously. This disease does not preclude surgery as long as the surgical team is aware of the diagnosis preoperatively. We describe herein a patient with familial periodic paralysis diagnosed the first time 1 day after undergoing surgery.
A transvector, a highly efficient flow amplifier, until present in use only in industry, has been adapted to the ventilation of patients during fiberoptic bronchoscopy under intravenous general anesthesia. The transvector is connected directly to an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube and provides an open unobstructed passage of the instrument into the patient's airways. The method combines safety with ease of instrumentation and uniformly satisfactory ventilation has been obtained in 25 patients.
