In this case report we present our experience in measuring the gastric volume of a mentallymotor retarded patient for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy replacement. The antrum of the stomach was visualized in the subcostal region of the sagittal plane with an ultrasound probe. Anteroposterior, and right-left lateral diameters were measured. Using these measurements, the antrum cross-sectional area and then the gastric volume were calculated. Ultrasonography should be kept in mind as a good alternative approach to evaluate the gastric volume in cases with aspiration risk.
ÖZBu olgu sunumunda, diyabetik ayak cerrahisi geçiren anestezi açısından yüksek riskli hastada ultrason rehberliğinde periferik sinir bloğu uygulama deneyimimizi paylaştık. Hipertansiyon, diyabetes mellitus, koroner arter hastalığı olan morbid obez hastada popliteal ve safen sinir bloğu uygulandı. Bloklar ultrason rehberliğinde 100 mm blok iğnesi ile yapıldı. Popliteal blok supin pozisyonda diz fleksiyonda 15 mL % 0.5 bupivakain ve 15 mL %2 lidokain ile, safen sinir bloğu ise 5 mL % 0.5 bupivakain ve 5 mL %2 lidokain verilerek yapıldı. Dolaşım ve solunum sistemleri etkilenmeden cerrahi sorunsuz olarak tamamlandı. Periferik sinir blokları yüksek riskli hastalarda güvenli alternatif anestezi yöntemi olarak akılda tutulmalıdır.Anahtar kelimeler: Morbid obez, popliteal sinir bloğu, safen sinir bloğu ABSTRACT In this case report, we shared our experience of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block application in a high risk patient for anesthesia undergoing diabetic foot surgery. In a patient with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease popliteal and saphenous nerve blocks were performed. The blocks were performed with a 100 mm block needle, guided by ultrasound. The popliteal block was performed with 15 mL of 2% bupivacaine and 15 mL of 0.5% lidocaine with the knee in flexion and for saphenous nerve block 5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 mL 2% lidocaine was administered. Surgery was completed without comprimising the circulatory and respiratory systems. Peripheral nerve blocks should be kept in mind as a safe alternative method of anesthesia in high risk patients.
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.
