Permanent Postoperative Anosmia: A Serious Complication of Neurovascular Decompression in the Sitting Position

Summary  In posterior fossa surgery, the sitting position offers a number of advantages believed to outweigh complications such as air embolism and pneumatocephalus. For this reason, the sitting position is frequently used in neurovascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Two years ago we reported on a previously undescribed complication: permanent postoperative anosmia. Following the recent occurrence of a second case, we conducted a nationwide survey to determine the frequency of this complication. Permanent postoperative anosmia following surgical procedures in the sitting position has been observed in 3 other institutions. In addition, the survey revealed that only 40% of German neurosurgeons still favor the sitting position for surgery of the posterior cranial fossa.  Considering that permanent anosmia severely reduces quality of life, and that it can be avoided by using another position, the sitting position for surgical procedures in the posterior fossa should be restricted to special cases (e.g., brain stem tumors).     

气管导管位置检测仪的研制

利用Hall传感器设计了一个气管导管位置检测仪来快速检测气管导管的位置.气管插管时,Hall传感器探头固定在病人颈部皮肤上,顶端带有小磁铁的管芯随气管导管一起进入气管中,根据检测到的磁场强度的大小,测量出探头与磁铁间的距离,从而判断出气管导管的位置.经临床测试,该检测仪性能可靠,测量准确,可以用于教学及临床气管插管时气管导管的定位.

伴有面转代偿头位的先天性下直肌麻痹临床特征与手术治疗

目的：描述伴有面转代偿头位的先天性单纯下直肌麻痹患者的临床表现,并分析其手术治疗效果。

方法：回顾性分析2014-05/2018-07伴有明显面转代偿头位的先天性下直肌麻痹患者,手术前后患者面转程度的变化借助骨科量角器来检查,垂直、水平斜视度变化通过三棱镜交替遮盖试验来测量,旋转斜视度变化通过眼底对眼球客观旋转状态评估。下直肌缩短术是主要治疗方案。

结果：在15例研究对象中,有13例行下直肌缩短术或者联合上直肌后徙术术后疗效好,下直肌运动不足明显改善,眼球运动协调,以面转为主的代偿头位消失,垂直、水平、旋转斜视得到矫正; 并得出：每缩短1 mm下直肌可矫正1.54±0.93°内旋斜视。而行下斜肌断腱术治疗的垂直斜视度小的患者,面转改善不理想,仍遗留眼球运动不协调。

结论：先天性单纯的下直肌麻痹以面转代偿头位为主,下直肌缩短术治疗效果好,轻度的过矫及欠矫不影响手术疗效。

Intra‐arterial blood pressure reading in intensive care unit patients in the lateral position

Background. Routine lateral turning of patients has become an accepted standard of care to prevent complications of immobility. The haemodynamic and oxygenation effects for patients in both lateral positions (45°) are still a matter of debate. We aimed to study the effect of these positions on blood pressure, heart rate and oxygenation in a general intensive care population. Design. Observational study. Method. Twenty stable intensive care unit patients had intra‐arterial blood pressure recordings in the supine and lateral positions with the correction of hydrostatic height compared with a fixed reference point (phlebostatic level). A multilevel model was used to analyse the data. Results. Mean arterial pressure readings in the lateral positions were, on average, 5 mmHg higher than in the supine position (p < 0·001). There were no significant differences between mean arterial pressure recordings in the left and right lateral position (p = 1·0). No important differences in oxygenation and heart rate were observed. After correction for covariates, the effects persisted. Conclusion. Our study demonstrated an increase, albeit small, in blood pressure in the lateral positions. No major differences between the left and right lateral position were found. No important differences in oxygenation and heart rate were observed. Relevance to clinical practice. Turning haemodynamically stable patients in the intensive care unit has no important effects on blood pressure measurements when continuous hydrostatic height correction is applied.     

Effects of body position on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions: the clinical perspective Efectos de la posición del cuerpo en las emisiones otoacústicas evocadas por transitorios: la perspectiva clínica

The present study investigated body position effects on transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) recordings of clinical significance. Sixty adults (30 males, 30 females) were assessed using the Otodynamics ILO88 Analyzer in three positions (sitting, supine, and side-lying). Results indicated significant positional effects on the TEOAE parameters of A–B difference, noise, whole wave reproducibility, and response levels. These differences included higher noise levels in supine and side-lying positions in comparison to the upright sitting position. Lower whole wave reproducibility measurements, and higher response amplitudes, in the side-lying position compared with supine and seated positions were also observed. No significant effects were evident for signal-to-noise ratio or band reproducibility. Given the lack of significant body position effects on these latter parameters and the infrequent clinical use of the other parameters in isolation, there was no evidence to suggest the future need for major review of current pass/fail criteria or of the standard test protocol.
