IMPACT FACTOR: 1.4
Poor pain outcomes after surgery can be predicted by factors, include psychological, psychosocial, and physical risks, which may be identified prior to surgery. The preoperative period is often a busy and stressful time for patients. This time, however, can be used to improve preoperative health which can result in better postoperative pain outcomes.
Background: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the frequent congenital heart defects in adult population. A large ASD causes a shunting of blood from the left to the right side of the heart, overloading the right ventricle and causing right ventricular hypertrophy, Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH), atrial fibrillation, and shunt reversal (Eisenmenger syndrome).
Background and Aims: Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha-2 agonist with an alpha-2/alpha-1 selectivity ratio seven times higher than that of clonidine [1]. Its main effects are the analgesic effect, the sedative effect without causing respiratory depression and the anxiolytic effect [1,2,3]. Its use in intensive care and perioperative medicine is not documented in Cameroon. It is in this perspective that we proposed to study the first use of dexmedetomidine in the intensive care unit in Cameroon.
The publication performance of German anaesthesiology university departments should be analyzed. The total number of publications of each department should be measured and the impact factors should be determined.
Anesthesia in pregnant patients appearing for non-obstetric surgeries poses unique challenges. Neurotrauma including intracerebral haemorrhage, severe brain injury and ischemic infarct often warrants the procedure of tracheostomy. After taking written informed consent for publication, we are presenting a case of a mid-term pregnant female who was posted for tracheostomy after sustaining neurotrauma.
