[Malignant hyperthermia as a complication of anesthesia in the dog].

A moderate malignant hyperthermia developed in a Labrador Retriever anaesthetized with isoflurane for a femoral shaft fracture repair. Signs of malignant hyperthermia included progressive increases in PETCO2 and rectal temperature up to 39.8 degrees C, tachycardia, cyanosis, and elevated serum levels of potassium, inorganic phosphorus, AST, CK and alkaline phosphatase. Treatment initiated in the early recovery period consisted of hyperventilation with 100% oxygen, stomach lavage with iced water, body surface cooling, and intravenous administration of cold isotonic saline solution. Cooling was continued until the rectal temperature had dropped to 37.3 degrees C. After treatment the dog recovered uneventfully. Clinical signs, pathophysiology, therapy, prevention of malignant hyperthermia and its association with other disorders are discussed.

Presumed optic nerve sheath meningioma diagnosed after complicated retrobulbar anesthesia.

We present a patient who developed acute visual loss and light flashes at retrobulbar anesthesia for cataract extraction. Vision improved only slightly after cataract surgery. Although traumatic optic neuropathy was suspected, the patient was diagnosed one year later with an optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM). ONSM is a rare, slow growing, benign tumour with highly variable clinical features. Diagnosis is often delayed. This case report demonstrates the diagnostic difficulty of this tumour.

[Arterial hypertension of unclear etiology as a complication of anesthesia during heart surgery under conditions of artificial circulation].

The paper deals with causes of arterial hypertension in the early postperfusion and postoperative periods in treating congenital heart disease (CHD) under artificial circulation (AC). The hemodynamics and parameters of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) were examined clinically and biochemically in 100 patients. The findings showed that under hypothermic perfusion with nonpulsing blood flow, plasma renin activator and angiotensin converting enzyme became activated to affect the dynamics of mean arterial blood pressure. A method for RAAS blockage under AC has been developed, which includes administration of sodium thiopental and baralgin during AC. The method provides for reliable prevention of RAAS components activation and guarantees the normalization of the mean arterial pressure in the postperfusion and early postoperative periods.
