We report the use of intravenous Methylene blue to treat the hypotension occurring following adrenal vein ligation in a case of pheochromocytoma resection in a child. The potential benefits and problems, including correct dosage, are discussed.
We report an interesting finding of highly correlating PpvO 2 and SpvO 2 under anaesthesia and during early recovery. We raise the attention to our unexpected and unexplained observation of high PpvO 2 under anaesthesia and possible mechanisms especially peripheral vasodilatation with well-conducted general anaesthesia. We guess that serious appraisal is necessary to define its actual weight and territorial distribution, as well as its life span. This would necessitate monitoring quite large number of patients and different accessible veins under different anaesthetics, including TIVA and regional anaesthetics, as well as various vasoactive agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
