Anesthesia for Airway Endoscopy and Micro-Laryngeal Surgery
No full textPre- and intra-operative anesthetic management considerations for airway endoscopy and micro-laryngeal surgery are covered in this chapter. Often presenting with critically obstructed or otherwise compromised airways, a carefully devised induction and airway control plan is essential. Unique to this type of surgery is the shared surgical field, requiring the utmost level of communication and cooperation between the surgical and anesthesia teams. Included is a discussion of ventilation options, routine and otherwise, and associated airway instrumentation such as jet ventilation catheters. Challenges of patient management during suspension laryngoscopy, are presented. Also addressed are laser basics, specific anesthetic considerations including risks and potential harms in the setting of these high-risk for fire procedures.
This review contains 5 figures, 2 tables, and 40 references.

Get PDFThe transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a relatively new regional anesthesia technique that provides analgesia to the parietal peritoneum as well as the skin and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. It has a high margin of safety and is technically simple to perform, especially under ultrasound guidance. A growing body of evidence supports the use of TAP blocks for a variety of abdominal procedures, yet, widespread adoption of this therapeutic adjunct has been slow. In part, this may be related to the limited sources for anesthesiologists to develop an appreciation for its sound anatomical basis and the versatility of its clinical application. As such, we provide a brief historical perspective on the TAP block, describe relevant anatomy, review current techniques, discuss pharmacologic considerations, and summarize the existing literature regarding its clinical utility with an emphasis on recently published studies that have not been included in other systematic reviews or meta-analyses
