A Case Of A Massive Right Atrial Thrombus Removal Under Transesophageal Echocardiographic Guidance, Justin Phillips, Max Kabolowsky, Alex M. Hendon, Samantha Arzillo

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

With the advent of catheter guided interventions, practitioners have added another tool alongside chemical lysis and surgical removal to reduce the clot burden of patients with large emboli and thrombi. Due to comorbid conditions, many patients are poor candidates for surgical or chemical clot treatment but may present optimally for catheter-based thromboembolectomy. In this case, we highlight the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy with transesophageal echocardiographic guidance to reduce the clot burden of a patient who would otherwise be considered a poor candidate for surgical or chemical treatment.

Case Presentation

This case follows a 78-year-old man with a past medical …

Blind Nasal Intubation As A Rescue Strategy In Difficult Airway Management, Riaz Chowdhury, Ashalatha K. Nair, Dheeraj Kamalam, Rohit Jaishankar

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

Airway management in emergency situations poses significant challenges, particularly in patients with difficult airway anatomy or comorbid conditions. Blind nasal intubation has been explored as a rescue technique when conventional methods fail. Masseter muscle rigidity (MMR), characterized by significant jaw muscle stiffness, is a recognized complication following succinylcholine administration that can complicate traditional approaches to securing an airway.

Case Presentation

A 75-year-old man with multiple comorbidities, including hypertension, prior stroke with paralysis, dementia, and a seizure disorder, presented with acute hypercapnic hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring emergent intubation. Orotracheal intubation failed due to trismus despite etomidate, succinylcholine, and rocuronium. Nasal …

Variation In Transcript Reports Among Residency Applicants: An Anesthesia Program’S Perspective, Alex M. Hendon, Imani Thornton

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

With recent changes made to move USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1 scores to Pass/Fail, it becomes necessary to find other metrics to evaluate residency candidates. One conserved metric included in all residency applications is medical school transcripts. This study aims to highlight the highly varied transcript reporting in a new era of holistic applicant review.

Methods

Medical school transcripts were extracted from the Electronic Residency Application Service applications to our anesthesiology residency program for the 2021-2022 application cycle. All personally identifiable information was removed. Results were categorized and tallied by 2 independent reviewers. Overall, we assessed transcript …

Complications Of Cardiopulmonary Bypass From An Anesthesia Perspective: A Clinical Review, Alex Roberts, Elizabeth C. Duncan, Paul Hargrave, David Redding Kingery, Josh Barnes, Derek L. Horstemeyer, Russell F. Stahl

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is frequently used for open heart surgery and other procedures that utilize temporary substitution or support of heart and lung function. While it is widely accepted as the predominant method to carry out these procedures, it is not without possible complications. CPB can be seen as the ultimate “team sport” as it includes and is dependent on contributions from multiple professionals including anesthesiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and perfusion technicians. In this clinical review paper, we examine possible complications of CPB, primarily from the perspective of the anesthesiologist, and how to troubleshoot them if they arise, which often requires …

Complications Of Tavr From An Anesthesia Perspective, David R. Kingery Jr., Alex Roberts, Derek Horstemeyer, Russell Stahl

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the predominant technique for aortic valve replacement in the United States. Initially approved for high surgical risk patients, TAVR is now approved for most patients requiring valve therapy, including younger, lower-risk patients. The procedure is ideally performed in a hybrid operating room equipped with fluoroscopic equipment and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) imaging that can be viewed simultaneously by the operating team. The operating room should also be equipped to allow initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, if necessary. Cardiac anesthesia teams are often involved with the management of these patients. This mini-review is designed to summarize …

Epidural Anesthesia For Cesarean Section For Parturient With Recently Diagnosed Asymptomatic Chiari Malformation Type I: A Case Report, Ashie Kapoor, Jon Halling

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Chiari malformations (CMs) are congenital defects of the brain and skull that result in inferior displacement of the cerebellum. There are four types of CMs distinguished by the severity of the anatomic defects and parts of the brain that protrude beyond the foramen magnum. Of these types, CM Type I (CMI) is the least severe. It is characterized by the downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils beyond the foramen magnum by more than 5 millimeters and goes into the cervical spinal canal. CMI is the most common type with an incidence of 0.1-0.5% in the general population and a predominance …
