Cardiología intervencionista Interventional Cardiology Edited by Ibrahim Akin, ISBN 978-953-51-3294-3, Print ISBN 978-953-51-3293-6, 280 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published June 28, 2017 under CC BY 3.0 license DOI: 10.5772/65543 The development of innovative interventional strategies and materials, primarily attributed to rapid strides in healthcare technology and education, has helped position interventional cardiology as one of the foremost disciplines in cardiovascular medicine. Patients diagnosed with inoperable conditions, including complex structural heart disease, have found renewed hope with the practice of these path-breaking therapeutic techniques. Nevertheless, the growing complexity of these procedures has also necessitated a close cooperation with different specialists, such as cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, and interventional radiologists. There is an urgent need to further explore the use of such alternative strategies of clinical management of cardiac disease, while limiting or potentially eliminating any procedural risks for the patient. This book is oriented to readers interested in learning the basic principles of interventional cardiology and offers a brief insight into the potential use of such treatments in routine clinical practice Libro / Book XIV Congreso Virtual Mexicano de Anestesiología 2017 Octubre 1-Diciembre 31, 2017 Información / Information Encuentro Internacional de Manejo de la Vía Aérea Bariloche.

Nivel sensitivo e hipotension en obstetricia /Sensory block and hypotension in parturient

Julio 1, 2017. No. 2736

Nivel del bloqueo sensitive después de raquia como predictor de hipotensión en las parturientas Level of sensory block after spinal anesthesia as a predictor of hypotension in parturient. Zhang N1, He L, Ni JX. Medicine (Baltimore). 2017 Jun;96(25):e7184. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000007184. Abstract When the sensory block level (SBL) is ≥T5 or T4, a high incidence of hypotension occurs in parturients after spinal anesthesia. A rapidly ascending SBL is another risk factor for spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. However, the relationship between the ascension rate of the SBL and spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension remains unclear. The earliest and most complete records of the SBL started from the 3rd minute after spinal injection. The threshold spread rate corresponding to the highest accuracy for occurrence of hypotension was an SBL of ≥T8 at the 3rd minute after spinal injection, with 82% and 88% sensitivity and specificity, respectively.The ascension rate of an SBL of ≥T8 at the 3rd minute after spinal injection is as a predictor of hypotension in parturients.

Anestesia y endocrinopatias / Anaesthesia and endocrinopathies

Julio 4, 2017. No. 2739

Endocrinopatías: las perspectivas actuales y cambiantes en la práctica de la anestesia. Endocrinopathies: The current and changing perspectives in anesthesia practice. Bajwa SJ1, Kaur G1. Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Jul-Aug;19(4):462-9. doi: 10.4103/2230-8210.159026.Abstract The gateways to advancements in medical fields have always been accessed through the coalition between various specialties. It is almost impossible for any specialty to make rapid strides of its own. However, the understanding of deeper perspectives of each specialty or super specialty is essential to take initiatives for the progress of the other specialty. Endocrinology and anesthesiology are two such examples which have made rapid progress in the last three decades. Somehow the interaction and relationship among these medical streams have been only scarcely studied. Diabetes and thyroid pathophysiologies have been the most researched endocrine disorders so far in anesthesiapractice but even their management strategies have undergone significant metamorphosis over the last three decades. As such, anesthesiapractice has been influenced vastly by these advancements in endocrinology. However, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between these two partially related specialties is considered to be an essential cornerstone for further progress in anesthesia and surgical sciences. The current review is an attempt to imbibe the current and the changing perspectives so as to make the understanding of the relationship between these two medical streams a little simple and clearer.
