Intraabdominal Fire During Emergency Laparotomy, Heather Christopherson Md, Alan Kroll Md
Anesthesiology
72 yo obese male presented to ED for 2 day history abdominal pain: sharp, radiating bilateral upper quadrants, n/v/constipation. Patient took entire bottle magnesium citrate, pain became unbearable. On arrival SaO2 88% RA, other vitals stable, Lactic Acid 1.85 mg/dl, CT abdomen massive free air. Taken to OR, intubated, general anesthesia, peritoneal cavity entered with cautery device. Upon entering peritoneum abdomen, flames erupted from the cavity. Flames spontaneously extinguished. No thermal injury sustained by patient. Surgeon’s eyebrows where singed, no other injuries sustained by OR staff. Patient remained hemodynamically stable, surgery proceeded without incident.

A Case Of Cannot Intubate, Cannot Ventilate, Evan Davidson Md, Su Min Oon
Anesthesiology
69M with a PMH of parotid gland carcinoma status post resection and radiation therapy with extensive reconstruction, G-tube placement, COPD, multiple tracheostomies with takedowns (with refusal permanent tracheostomy over objections of family members) presented for CTR and ulnar tunnel exploration. With plans of MAC, an axillary block was placed and maintained on minimal propofol infusion. After administration of 50 mcg fentanyl due to pain, he was noted to be apnic. Ventilation via mask and #3 LMA failed, as well as placement of an 6 mm ET tube. Eventually, patient was ventilated via emergency surgical cricothyroidotomy. He was discharged on POD4.

Anesthetic Management Without The Use Of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents In Myasthenia Gravis Patient Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting And Thymectomy, Katarina Kapisoda, Ettore Crimi Md, Omeni Osian
Anesthesiology
We describe a novel and effective anesthetic management of a 67 year old male with myasthenia gravis (MG) who underwent combined coronary artery bypass graft and thymectomy. Induction of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation was performed with propofol and remifentanyl without use of any neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA). General anesthesia was then maintained with inhaled isoflurane and continuous intravenous infusion of sufentanyl and dexmedetomidine. In ICU, trachea was extubated within two hours from admission and no complications occurred during the following 24 hours ICU stay. Avoidance of NMBA may improve outcomes by decreasing the risks associated with their use.
Severe Bradycardia During A Spinal Cord Stimulator Procedure, Marc Blanchard Md, Ettore Crimi Md, Stephen Pyles Md
Severe Bradycardia During A Spinal Cord Stimulator Procedure, Marc Blanchard Md, Ettore Crimi Md, Stephen Pyles Md
Anesthesiology
We report a case of severe bradycardia during spinal cord implantation. A 43 year old female with a history of chronic refractory lumbar back pain presented for revision of spinal cord stimulator. Preoperative assessment was positive only for bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy. During the procedure, surgeon’s attempt to advance the lead through scar tissue elicited severe bradycardia (HR 28) resolved with glycopyrrolate. Compression of spinal cord secondary to difficult lead placement could be the cause of this cardiovascular event. Anesthesiologists need to be aware that severe bradycardia can occur during spinal cord implantation.

Just Another Labor Epidural, Whitney King Do, William B. Smith
Anesthesiology
A 32 year-old healthy pregnant patient with no significant past medical history who presented to the hospital for delivery of fetus status post intrauterine fetal death. Vaginal delivery with epidural placement was initially the mother’s preference. Fetal movement last felt 4 days prior. The patients H&P and laboratory findings revealed early stages DIC. Patient underwent Caesarean delivery with general anesthesia, the OB physician found the patient to have Couvelaire uterus, a form of placental abruption. The patient’s uterus was atonic requiring multiple units of blood products. Case assessed indications for epidural placement versus general anesthesia.
