Inadvertent Respiratory Acidosis due to Damaged Water Trap of Capnograph by Isoflurane
Introduction: A few reports have documented isoflurane leakage causing damage to the water trap in the Drager Apollo anesthesia machine. This case describes an abnormal capnograph tracing yielding falsely normal end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (EtCO2) after breakage of the water trap by isoflurane
Liver Transplantation in the Face of Severe Electrolyte Abnormalities: A Discussion of Management Techniques
Introduction:
Electrolytes disorders are a common finding in patients with End stage liver disease (ESLD). Liver transplantation (OLT) is frequently associated with massive transfusion and fluid shifts in patients with renal dysfunction, and management of hyponatremla, hyperkalemia and hypervolemia are major concerns for anesthesiologists. This case describes a multimodal approach in treatment of combined severe hyponatremla, hperkalemia and hypervolemia
