The authors describe a cas of pacemaker malfunction due to a critical increase of impedance resulting from air entrapment in the pacemaker pocket.
A case of injection of compressed air into a digit is reported. The air was injected at 50 PSI through a trivial puncture wound sustained some hours previously. The case had a benign course, in comparison to high pressure injection injuries with foreign material.
Nonclostridial cellulitis with concomitant gas formation in the plantar tissues of the foot is seldomly reported in the literature. The event itself, however, may actually be relatively common. A review of the literature and a case study involving a diabetic patient is presented, along with a review of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
We present a case of a pneumoscrotum and pneumopenis which appeared after a trocar drainage placement for treatment of a recidivated expontaneous pneumothorax. In spite of is an entity with easy diagnosis and conservative management, maybe be confused with other more aggressive entities which treatment should be invasive.
Two cases of pediatric isolated cervical emphysema caused by foreign bodies are presented. This report emphasizes the need for roentgenograms, flexible nasolaryngoscopy, and situational barium swallows to identify the exact location of a tear and to determine whether the situation requires direct laryngoscopy and esophagoscopy to remove a foreign body, or an open surgical repair of a mucosal disruption. The treatment of this self-limited condition usually requires only antibiotics, fasting, intravenous fluid, and most importantly, close observation for signs of perforation.
Recently, thoracoscopic approaches to the spine have taken on greater clinical applications in the treatment of spinal deformity with generally good results. However, the steep learning curve must be ascended by the surgeon and may lead to complications early in one's experience. There also exists a learning curve for the anesthesiologist to become adept at obtaining single lung ventilation and managing this throughout the operative procedure. We report a case of an 11-year-old patient with severe scoliosis who developed air in both chest cavities, mediastinum, peritoneum, retroperitoneum, and subcutaneous tissue after intubation with a double-lumen endotracheal tube. The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout this period, and bilateral chest tubes were placed. The patient remained on the ventilator for 24 hours and was extubated without sequelae. Complications from a thoracoscopic approach to the spine for deformity are most often attributed to the learning curve of the surgeon; however, the entire operative team becomes exposed to the challenges of performing this procedure. This report documents a life-threatening complication of air throughout the chest, mediastinum, abdomen, and subcutaneous tissues in a patient with severe scoliosis.
