of neurosurgical outcome, intubation for > 24 hours for head trauma or death. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios were calculated.Results: Twenty-eight out of 50 patients had CHIDA score > 0 while 25 patients scored > 2. Of these, six patients (12%) experienced the primary outcome including one death. Using a cutoff of score > 0 to admit to ICU had a sensitivity of 100% and a negative predictive value of 100%. Using a cutoff of score > 2 had a sensitivity of 83.33% and a negative predictive value of 96%. Using these cutoffs, ICU admission would have been avoided in 44 and 50% patients, respectively.Conclusion: CHIDA score seems to be a useful tool but needs to be validated in developing countries in more patients.
Balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) is a viable alternative to valve replacement surgery in patients with mitral stenosis. One of the rare complications of the procedure requiring immediate resuscitation and surgical repair is cardiac tamponade due to ventricular rupture. We report the anesthetic management of a 38 year old female with hemopericardium during BMV due to left ventricular rupture.
