Operation: Tracheostomy with division of thyroid isthmus
Estimated blood loss: Less than 10 mL
Fluids: Crystalloid
Complications: None
Technique: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in the supine position. He was given general anesthesia through his existing oral intubation tube. The anterior neck was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Lidocaine 1% with 1:100,000 epinephrine was infiltrated into the skin at the lower neck.
A transverse incision was made at the cricoid ring level through skin and subcutaneous fat. The platysmal layer was traversed, and then the strap muscles were separated in the midline. The thyroid isthmus was ligated and divided with #2-0 silk ligatures. An inferiorly based tracheostomy flap was created using the second and third tracheal rings and sewn into place with a #3-0 chromic stitch to the inferior dermis margin.
Hemostasis was achieved using suction cautery. At this point, the oral intubation tube was withdrawn, and a #8 Shiley low-pressure cuffed tube was passed into the newly created trach site. The trach ties were tied securely into place, and the cuff was inflated to a comfortable pressure. The patient then received further ventilation through the newly placed trach tube. The patient was then allowed to awaken from general anesthesia and was taken back to the ICU in stable condition.

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Left perihilar mass
Postoperative diagnosis: Left perihilar mass, mucosal abnormality in the posterior subsegment of the left upper lobe
Procedure performed: Bronchoscopy, transbronchial lung biopsy and bronchial lung biopsy, brushing and washing
Assistant: None
Anesthesia: MAC
Description of procedure: With the patient in the supine position, under monitored anesthesia care, the scope was introduced through the mouth, and the larynx and the laryngeal area were inspected. All of them were normal. The scope was then inserted through the trachea into the carina, which was sharp and clear. There was a moderate amount of thick-thin secretions that were suctioned through both right and left main bronchi. The scope was then directed into the right main bronchus, and then the right upper-lobe bronchus with its subsegments was inspected. All of them were normal. Right middle-lobe and right lower-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were also inspected and were normal. The scope was then directed into the left side, where the left main bronchus was normal. Left lower-lobe and middle-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were normal. The left upper-lobe bronchus, anterosuperior segment, showed an anterior subsegment to have a bulging in one of its subbronchi. Under fluoroscopy, biopsy forceps were inserted, and several pieces of lung tissue were obtained from the area of the left perihilar lesion. Then brushing was done in the same area. Washing was also done in the same area. Then, in a separate container, several pieces of bronchial tissue were taken from the area that was bulging, anterosuperior subsegment of the left upper-lobe bronchus. All specimens were submitted for cytology, pathology, and/or culture. The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no apparent complications. Chest x-ray is pending.

Question
Procedure: Permanent pacemaker implantation
Indication for the procedure: Sick sinus syndrome with decreased mentation and confusion
Description of the procedure: After a detailed description of the procedure, indications, and potential risks of permanent pacemaker implantation was given to the patient as well as the patient's daughter, informed consent was obtained. The patient was transferred to the cardiac catheterization lab. A left subclavian area was prepared and draped in the usual sterile manner, and the left subclavian vein was accessed by Seldinger technique. A guidewire was placed. The left subclavian vein was accessed, and a separate guidewire was also placed.
Following this, a deep subcutaneous pacemaker pocket was created using the blunt dissection technique without any excessive bleeding.
Following this, a French-7 introducer sheath was advanced over the guidewire, and the guidewire was removed. A Medtronic bipolar endocardial lead, model #5054 and serial #LEH025605V, was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance, and the tip of the pacemaker lead was positioned in the right ventricular apex.
Following this, the French-9.5 introducer sheath was advanced over a separate guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance, and the guidewire was removed.
Through this sheath, a bipolar atrial screw-in lead by Medtronic, model #4568, was selected. It was positioned in the right atrial appendage, and the lead was screwed in.
Following this, the stimulation thresholds were obtained for the atrial lead. The amplitude was millivolts (mv) of resistance of 549 ohms, with pulse rate of 0.5 ms.
Following the ventricular stimulation, threshold perimeters were obtained, including R-wave entry of 4.6 mv with resistance of 1,427 ohms, with a pulse wave of 0.5 ms. Minimum-stimulation threshold voltage was 0.4 volt for the ventricular lead, and minimal-stimulation voltage was 2 volts for the atrial lead.

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Carcinoma of the lung with right neck metastasis
Postoperative diagnosis: Carcinoma of the lung with right neck metastasis
Operative procedures: Cervical esophagoscopy, microlaryngoscopy, and biopsy
Procedure and findings: With the patient under general anesthesia, the 10I 14 × 23 Roberts esophagoscope was passed. It was noticed that the left piriform sinus was of normal appearance. There was edema of the free tip of the epiglottis. The scope was advanced through the left piriform sinus into the cervical esophagus, and the cervical esophagus and postcricoid area were essentially normal. Also, the upper cervical esophagus was normal. The scope was slowly withdrawn through the right piriform sinus. It was noticed that there was a tumor involving the anterior wall of the right piriform sinus, extending approximately 1 cm below the pharyngeal epiglottic fold. This tumor then also involved the lateral hypopharyngeal wall to a minor degree. The scope was removed.
The Dedo microlaryngoscope was passed. It was now noticed that the above findings were further defined. It was noticed that there was an exit through the tumor involving the vallecula on the right side going into the base of the tongue for a distance of approximately 0.5 cm. This tumor was quite exophytic, and it extended laterally above the pharyngeal epiglottic fold, extending, therefore, approximately 0.75 cm to the lateral hypopharyngeal wall. It also involved heavily the medial wall of the right piriform sinus without crossing over onto the laryngeal surface of the epiglottic fold. The vocal cords were of normal appearance. The right vocal cord was fixed in the midline. Inferiorly the tumor extended onto the medial wall of the piriform sinus just about 0.5 cm below the level of the right vocal cord. The scope was suspended. These findings were confirmed, and under 10 × magnification, several biopsies were obtained. The scope was removed. The neck was carefully palpated. The endoscopy had been preceded by a tracheostomy. The patient was initially prepared with Betadine solution and draped in the usual manner. A horizontal incision was made approximately 2 cm above the sternal notch and carried through the subcutaneous tissue down to the strap muscles. The strap muscles were divided in the midline. The cricoid cartilage was identified, the trach ties were tied securely into place, and the cuff was inflated to a comfortable pressure. The patient then received further ventilation through the newly placed trach tube. The patient tolerated all procedures well.

Question
Arteriogram: Left Renal Artery Stenosis
Procedure in detail: The procedure, indications, possible complications of an abdominal aortogram, and possible renal arteriogram were discussed with the patient. The patient agreed to have the procedure done and signed the consent.
Under sterile technique with fluoroscopy control, a vascular sheath was introduced in the right common femoral artery using the Seldinger technique. Through this sheath, a 5-French pigtail catheter was introduced and placed at the proximal abdominal aorta. Flush aortogram followed, and a digital subtraction study of the abdominal aorta, by placing the catheter close to the renal artery origin, was performed.
Evidence of mild atheromatous plaque disease involving the infrarenal abdominal aorta, causing focal dilation, is seen. No significant stenosis is noted at the aortic bifurcation.
The celiac axis, including the splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and hepatic artery, is normal.
On the right side, the renal artery is normal in caliber, without any significant stenosis. Segmental arteries are normal. Contrast nephrogram is also uniform.
On the left side, there is segmental narrowing at the origin of the left renal artery. The narrowed segment is approximately 2 cm in length, with the narrowing more than 50% to 60% seen. No significant distal stenotic dilation of the renal artery is seen. Segmental arteries of the left renal artery are normal. Nephrogram of the left kidney is also normal.
Since the digital subtraction study was done with stenosis analysis, left renal artery stenosis is in the range of 50% to 65%. Hence, a selective renal arteriogram was not performed.
Impression: A 2-cm stenotic segment involving the origin of the left renal artery with stenosis in the range of 50% to 65% is noted. Segmental arteries of the left kidney are normal. Nephrogram of the left kidney is also normal.

Question
CT Scan of the Chest and Adrenals
History: Left pulmonary nodule on chest x-ray
Technique: Helical transaxial images, 7 mm, of the chest were obtained after the administration of oral and intravenous contrast.
Findings: The patient's chest x-rays from February 24 and 25 were reviewed. There is an ill-defined opacity suggested in the left midlung zones on those studies, including oblique views.
Within the left lower lobe laterally, there is an approximately 2-cm area of parenchymal density that has the appearance of interstitial changes without findings of a significant nodule or mass. This finding can relate to scarring. There is no other nodule, mass, or effusion. Within the mediastinum, there is no evidence of adenopathy seen. The heart and great vessels are normal in appearance. There is a suggestion of minimal pericardial thickening anteriorly that is not specific. Osseous structures show degenerative changes with osteophyte formation at multiple levels in the thoracic spine.
Visualized upper abdominal structures, including liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, aorta, and para-aortic retroperitoneum, show no specific finding. The adrenal glands are not enlarged.
Impression: There is a small focal area of increased parenchymal density that has an interstitial pattern. There is no significant nodule or mass. This is suggestive of scarring. There is no nodule, mass, effusion, or adenopathy seen. Consider chest x-ray follow-up of this lesion to assess stability.

Question
Thoracic Aortogram with Cerebral Angiography
History: The patient is an 82-year-old man with a thoracic aneurysm and carotid stenosis.
Procedure: A 20-minute consultation was utilized explaining the risks, benefits, and alternatives of angiography. All the patient's questions were answered, and he had given informed consent prior to the procedure. The patient was premedicated with IM Demerol and Phenergan. Buffered lidocaine was used for local anesthesia. Sedation was not required.
A 5-French pigtail catheter was advanced into the aorta via the right femoral artery with the standard Seldinger technique. With the tip of the catheter in the ascending aorta, an aortogram with digital subtraction technique was obtained in the left anterior projection. AP frontal view of the intracranial circulation was also obtained from an arch injection. The catheter was then exchanged over a guidewire for a 5-French Simmons II catheter. The carotid artery and left vertebral artery were selectively catheterized and injected with contrast for digital subtraction filming. In the right common carotid, it was initially difficult to get a stable catheter position, and various combinations of guidewires and a Simmons III catheter were used to obtain selective catheterization. After all images were reviewed, the catheter was removed, and direct pressure was applied to the puncture site until complete hemostasis was achieved.
Total contrast load was 132 cc of Isovue. Fluoroscopy time was 41.5 minutes.
Findings: The ascending aortic arch is dilated and has a more normal diameter just after the left subclavian catheter, and then the descending thoracic aorta enlarges again. There is no evidence of intimal dissection. The origins from the arch are patent. The right carotid bifurcation is slightly irregular; however, no hemodynamically significant stenosis is observed in the right internal carotid. The right external carotid is open. The left external carotid is completely occluded. The left internal carotid has 75% reduction of its cross-sectional area near its origin. On selective injections, it is interesting to note that the right anterior cerebral artery does not fill from the right carotid injection, but both anterior cerebral arteries fill from the left carotid injection. Vertebral arteries are patent. The left vertebral artery is larger. No obvious intracranial abnormality is observed.
Impression: There is 75% stenosis of the left internal carotid. Complete occlusion of the left external carotid. Very mild irregularity of the right internal carotid. Widely patent right external carotid. Both vertebral arteries are patent.

Question
History: A 62-year-old woman (height, 1.7 m; weight, 61 kg) was scheduled for resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma. Her medical history revealed hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency, and stiff person syndrome. This syndrome started with low back pain, which rendered her unable to walk. She was experiencing stiffness, involuntary jerks, and painful cramps. Neurologic examination revealed extreme hypertonia of the body and proximal legs, with intercurrent, painful spasms. Reflexes were symmetrical without Babinski signs. Laboratory findings showed positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and negative amphiphysin antibodies. The patient was successfully treated with baclofen and diazepam. Subsequently, prednisone as immunosuppressive therapy was started. The stiffness diminished, and the patient was able to walk unaided. The neurologic examination was unremarkable, except for a slight stiffness in the legs. Her medication at admission was prednisone 20 mg once a day, baclofen 12.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 25 mg), diazepam 7.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 15 mg), levothyroxine 25 ?g once a day, and vitamin B12 injections. Her medical history included urologic and gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia before she experienced SPS.
Procedure: No premedication was given. Anesthesia was induced with propofol (2.5 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.25 ?g/kg). After the administration of atracurium (0.6 mg/kg), the trachea was intubated, and anesthesia was continued with isoflurane (0.6-1.0 vol %) and oxygen/air for the duration of the procedure. Cefuroxime 1,500 mg, clindamycin 600 mg, and dexamethasone 10 mg were administered IV. In the following 2 hours, additional atracurium (35 mg), sufentanil (10 ?g), and morphine (8 mg) were administered. At the end of the procedure, which was uneventful, neuromuscular monitoring showed four strong twitches. Although the patient was responsive, she could not open her eyes, grasp with either hand, or generate tidal volumes beyond 200 mL. Neostigmine 2 mg (0.03 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg did not alter the clinical signs of muscle weakness.
The patient was sedated with propofol and further mechanically ventilated in the recovery room. After 1 hour, the sedation was stopped and mechanical ventilation was terminated. At that time, baclofen 12.5 mg was administered into the gastric tube. Two hours later she was in a good clinical condition, and her trachea was extubated.

Question
History: A 73-year-old 81-kg male with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and moderate in situ adenocarcinoma of the prostate presents for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The preoperative evaluation reveals a history of smoking (60 pack-years), normal ejection fraction and heart valves, and normal chest x-ray and EKG. No other significant findings.
Procedure: He was taken to the operating room and monitored as per routine for cystoscopy and TURP. After appropriate preoxygenation, general anesthesia was uneventfully induced with fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. The patient was intubated, ventilated, and placed in the lithotomy position. The operative procedure was started without difficulty. After 90 minutes, the patient's temperature had dropped from 35.9°C at the beginning of the case to 32.9°C. Blood was sent to the lab due to the length of the surgery. The patient's vital signs were stable. Shortly thereafter the following values were sent back from the laboratory to the operating room: NA 109 mEq/L, K 4.7 mEq/L, CL 83 mEq/L, Glucose 83 mg/dl, Hct 34. The anesthesiologist informed the surgeon about the findings, and the surgery was then stopped. The patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
At arrival in the SICU: The patient was still intubated and sedated. The body temperature was 33.5°C. The laboratory measurements revealed NA 107 mEq/L, K 5.7 mEq/L, CL 79 mEq/L, CO2 109 mEq/L, ammonia level of 60 mmol/L, and serum osmolarity of 273. A radial arterial catheter and a central venous catheter were inserted, and rewarming with hot air (Bair Hugger) was initiated.

Question
Preprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Postprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Procedure performed: Lumbar epidural steroid injection
Anesthesia given: Local
Indications for procedure: This 53-year-old female presents with symptoms consistent with a lumbar radiculopathy. Previous epidural steroid injections have resulted in significant improvement of her pain. This is the second in a series of three of those injections.
Description of procedure: The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. The L4-5 interspace was identified with deep palpation. Local infiltration was carried out with 3 cc of 1% lidocaine. The area was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. An 18-gauge Tuohy needle was advanced to the epidural space with the loss-of-resistance technique. Then a mixture of Depo-Medrol 80 mg, normal saline 10 cc, and lidocaine 1% at 5 cc was injected. No complications were encountered, and the patient was returned to the outpatient surgery department in stable condition.
Plan: To repeat this procedure in two weeks

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Postoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Procedures: Bilateral lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block under ultrasound guidance.
Left hip greater trochanter bursa injection.
Procedure in detail: All questions were answered. His back was palpated to try to elicit areas of discomfort. This was quite difficult to do, since he said he hurt all over. Of note is that we had looked at his legs, and on his right leg he had an area of excoriation or erythema that was unusual for him, and he stated that his pain seemed to correlate with his edema and erythema of his legs. With this in mind, we turned our attention first to his left hip pain and asked him to move his left hip to where we could elicit a point of maximum tenderness. Point of maximum tenderness was elicited over what appeared to be the greater trochanter of the left hip area itself. We then injected what appeared to be the bursa of the left hip with 10 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. He was then placed in a prone position with a pillow supporting his upper abdomen. In light of his symptoms down his legs, we felt that a lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block was indicated at this time. We identified the spinous process of L2. The midpoint of the spinous process of L2 was marked. A line perpendicular to the spinous process of L2 was then drawn on his skin, and a point that was 1¾ inches from the midline was then marked. The skin at this point was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine using a 25-gauge B-bevel needle. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch needle that was advanced under a slightly cephalic medial direction, approximately 85 degrees off midline. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the needle was advanced. On the first attempt on the left, we encountered the transverse process of L2. The needle was repositioned left of cephalic, and we were able to bypass the transverse process. The needle was advanced until we encountered the vertebral body of L2 under ultrasound guidance. We then obtained a lateral view and found that indeed we were at the level of the midbody of L2. With this needle felt to be adequately placed, we then injected 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. The needle was left in place, and the stylet was replaced.
We then turned our attention to the right-hand side because of the excoriation on his legs and the edema that he said he experiences with increased levels of his pain. The skin was once again marked 1¾ inches from the midline at the midlevel of the spinous process of L2. The skin was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle that was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Of note, we made three or four passes in the attempt to approximate the needle next to the vertebral body of L2. Interesting to note is that in order to obtain the maximum view of the spinous process of L2, we were approximately 5 degrees to the right in terms of off midline. Once the 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle was placed on the right after several attempts, he did not complain of any paresthesias at this time. We then took a lateral view and found that our needle was not as deep as it should be. We then withdrew the needle, and on ultrasound guidance, using a lateral view, the needle was advanced until it was felt that we were at the appropriate depth. An AP view was then retaken, and we were found to be not at the body of L2 in terms of next to it. The needle was then removed and repositioned in a slightly medial fashion, and it was felt that we encountered bone. We then turned to the lateral view once again and found that we were at this time at the midbody of L2. This was felt to be adequately placed after three attempts. Then 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol was injected. The needle stylet was then replaced, and we then waited approximately 4 minutes for the Marcaine to set.
We then removed the needles of both the right and the left sides, respectively, and pressure was applied at the skin to prevent any bleeding. He was then placed in the supine position and was discharged home in satisfactory condition. He was instructed to call if he had any changes in edema of his legs.

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Morbid obesity
Postoperative diagnoisis: Morbid obesity
Procedure performed: Abdominal panniculectomy
Estimated blood loss: Throughout the procedure, approximately 20 Ml
Anesthesia: General endotracheal anesthesia
Indications for procedure: This is a 49-year-old female who previously underwent gastric bypass surgery and has lost 120 pounds, leaving a large lower pannus of the abdomen. This pannus needs to be resected. The nonoperative versus operative management options were discussed with the patient. The operative risks included bleeding, infection, hematoma, chance for further surgery as well as pain, and a resulting scar. The patient accepted the risks and consented to surgery.
Procedure in detail: The patient was placed under general endotracheal anesthesia. The patient was draped in the proper manner, and the lower abdominal pannus was identified. It was preoperatively marked prior to going to the OR. The lower incision was made from the superior iliac crest with the middle being the pubic tubercle. That lower incision was then made. The pass was then elevated at the level of the anterior abdominal fascia and was elevated superiorly to the level of the inferior umbilicus. Then incisions were made on the umbilicus to the superior iliac crest, and the skin and subcutaneous pannus was passed off table as a specimen. The wound was then made hemostatic with the use of electrocautery. JP drains were placed. The abdominal skin flap was then brought to the inferior skin flap and sutured in place with 2-0 Vicryl sutures at the dermal level. The drains were then secured, and then the skin was closed with running 3-0 Monocryl suture. The wound was further dressed with Steri-strips, gauze, and abdominal binder. The patient tolerated the procedure well. All needle and instrument counts at the end of the procedure were correct, and the patient was taken to PACU in good condition.

Question
Procedure performed: Left-sided heart catheterization, selective coronary angiography, and left ventriculography
Indication: Chest pain and abnormal Cardiolite stress test
RESULTS
Hemodynamics: The left ventricular pressure before the LV-gram was 117/1 with an LVEDP of 4; after the LV-gram it was111/4 with an LVEDP of 10. The aortic pressure on pullback was 111/17.
Left ventriculography: The left ventriculography showed that the left ventricle was of normal size. There were no significant segmental wall motion abnormalities. The overall left ventricular systolic function was normal, with an ejection fraction of better than 60%.
Selective coronary angiography:
A. Right coronary artery: The right coronary artery is a medium- to large-size dominant artery that has about 80% to 90% proximal/mideccentric stenosis. The rest of the artery has only mild surface irregularities.
B. Left main coronary artery: The left main has mild distal narrowing.
C. Left circumflex artery: The left circumflex artery is a medium-size, nondominant artery. It gives rise to a very high first obtuse marginal/intermedius, which is a bifurcation medium-size artery that has only mild surface irregularities. The second obtuse marginal is also a medium-size artery that has about 20% to 25% proximal narrowing. After that second obtuse marginal, the circumflex artery is a small-size artery that has about 20% to 30% narrowing, a small aneurismal segment.
D. Left anterior descending coronary artery: The left anterior descending artery is a medium-size artery that is mildly calcified. It gives rise to a very tiny first diagonal that has mild diffuse atherosclerotic disease. Right at the origin on the second diagonal, the LAD has about 30% narrowing. The rest of the artery is free of significant obstructive disease. The second diagonal is also a small-caliber artery that has no significant obstructive disease.
Conclusion: Severe single-vessel atherosclerotic heart disease

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Right subdural hematoma
Postoperative diagnosis: Right subdural hematoma
Procedure performed: Right temporoparietal craniotomy for evacuation of subdural hematoma
Anesthesia: General endotracheal
Complications: None
Conditions: Stable
Indications for procedure: Mr. Green is a 45-year-old male with a known history of alcoholism. He reported falling today, with loss of consciousness for about 20 minutes. Upon arrival at the ED, he was minimally responsive, with some spontaneous movement on the right side. He was intubated and taken to CT, which demonstrated a large right temporal subdural hematoma with 2.5-cm midline shift and effacement of the right lateral ventricle.
Description of procedure: The patient was brought to the OR already intubated. General anesthesia was induced. He was given Ancef for preoperative prophylactic IV antibiotics. Lacri-Lube was placed in both eyes, which were then taped shut. A Foley was placed. The patient was positioned supine on the operating room table with the right side elevated with a gel roll. The head was secured in the three-point Mayfield head-holder with the right side up. All pressure points were inspected and padded adequately. The patient's scalp was clipped, prepped, and draped in standard sterile surgical fashion. Local anesthetic was infiltrated along the line of the planned skin incision. A right temporoparietal inverted-question-mark incision was performed with a #10 blade down to the level of the periosteum. The scalp flap, along with the muscle and periosteum, was elevated and reflected anteriorly and held in place with fishhooks. Raney clips were applied to the skin edges. Using the high-speed Midas Rex drill with the perforator bit, burr holes were placed in the temporoparietal region, and they were connected with the B1 and footplate. The bone flap was elevated from the dura and set aside. The underlying brain appeared to be tense. The dura was opened with a 15-blade, and a large amount of subdural hematoma was immediately released. The subdural space was copiously irrigated, and hemostasis was achieved.

Question
History: A 62-year-old woman (height, 1.7 m; weight, 61 kg) was scheduled for resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma. Her medical history revealed hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency, and stiff person syndrome. This syndrome started with low back pain, which rendered her unable to walk. She was experiencing stiffness, involuntary jerks, and painful cramps. Neurologic examination revealed extreme hypertonia of the body and proximal legs, with intercurrent, painful spasms. Reflexes were symmetrical without Babinski signs. Laboratory findings showed positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and negative amphiphysin antibodies. The patient was successfully treated with baclofen and diazepam. Subsequently, prednisone as immunosuppressive therapy was started. The stiffness diminished, and the patient was able to walk unaided. The neurologic examination was unremarkable, except for a slight stiffness in the legs. Her medication at admission was prednisone 20 mg once a day, baclofen 12.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 25 mg), diazepam 7.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 15 mg), levothyroxine 25 ?g once a day, and vitamin B12 injections. Her medical history included urologic and gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia before she experienced SPS.
Procedure: No premedication was given. Anesthesia was induced with propofol (2.5 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.25 ?g/kg). After the administration of atracurium (0.6 mg/kg), the trachea was intubated, and anesthesia was continued with isoflurane (0.6-1.0 vol %) and oxygen/air for the duration of the procedure. Cefuroxime 1,500 mg, clindamycin 600 mg, and dexamethasone 10 mg were administered IV. In the following 2 hours, additional atracurium (35 mg), sufentanil (10 ?g), and morphine (8 mg) were administered. At the end of the procedure, which was uneventful, neuromuscular monitoring showed four strong twitches. Although the patient was responsive, she could not open her eyes, grasp with either hand, or generate tidal volumes beyond 200 mL. Neostigmine 2 mg (0.03 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg did not alter the clinical signs of muscle weakness.
The patient was sedated with propofol and further mechanically ventilated in the recovery room. After 1 hour, the sedation was stopped and mechanical ventilation was terminated. At that time, baclofen 12.5 mg was administered into the gastric tube. Two hours later she was in a good clinical condition, and her trachea was extubated.

Question
History: A 73-year-old 81-kg male with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and moderate in situ adenocarcinoma of the prostate presents for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The preoperative evaluation reveals a history of smoking (60 pack-years), normal ejection fraction and heart valves, and normal chest x-ray and EKG. No other significant findings.
Procedure: He was taken to the operating room and monitored as per routine for cystoscopy and TURP. After appropriate preoxygenation, general anesthesia was uneventfully induced with fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. The patient was intubated, ventilated, and placed in the lithotomy position. The operative procedure was started without difficulty. After 90 minutes, the patient's temperature had dropped from 35.9°C at the beginning of the case to 32.9°C. Blood was sent to the lab due to the length of the surgery. The patient's vital signs were stable. Shortly thereafter the following values were sent back from the laboratory to the operating room: NA 109 mEq/L, K 4.7 mEq/L, CL 83 mEq/L, Glucose 83 mg/dl, Hct 34. The anesthesiologist informed the surgeon about the findings, and the surgery was then stopped. The patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
At arrival in the SICU: The patient was still intubated and sedated. The body temperature was 33.5°C. The laboratory measurements revealed NA 107 mEq/L, K 5.7 mEq/L, CL 79 mEq/L, CO2 109 mEq/L, ammonia level of 60 mmol/L, and serum osmolarity of 273. A radial arterial catheter and a central venous catheter were inserted, and rewarming with hot air (Bair Hugger) was initiated.

Question
Preprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Postprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Procedure performed: Lumbar epidural steroid injection
Anesthesia given: Local
Indications for procedure: This 53-year-old female presents with symptoms consistent with a lumbar radiculopathy. Previous epidural steroid injections have resulted in significant improvement of her pain. This is the second in a series of three of those injections.
Description of procedure: The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. The L4-5 interspace was identified with deep palpation. Local infiltration was carried out with 3 cc of 1% lidocaine. The area was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. An 18-gauge Tuohy needle was advanced to the epidural space with the loss-of-resistance technique. Then a mixture of Depo-Medrol 80 mg, normal saline 10 cc, and lidocaine 1% at 5 cc was injected. No complications were encountered, and the patient was returned to the outpatient surgery department in stable condition.
Plan: To repeat this procedure in two weeks

Question
Preoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Postoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Procedures: Bilateral lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block under ultrasound guidance.
Left hip greater trochanter bursa injection.
Procedure in detail: All questions were answered. His back was palpated to try to elicit areas of discomfort. This was quite difficult to do, since he said he hurt all over. Of note is that we had looked at his legs, and on his right leg he had an area of excoriation or erythema that was unusual for him, and he stated that his pain seemed to correlate with his edema and erythema of his legs. With this in mind, we turned our attention first to his left hip pain and asked him to move his left hip to where we could elicit a point of maximum tenderness. Point of maximum tenderness was elicited over what appeared to be the greater trochanter of the left hip area itself. We then injected what appeared to be the bursa of the left hip with 10 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. He was then placed in a prone position with a pillow supporting his upper abdomen. In light of his symptoms down his legs, we felt that a lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block was indicated at this time. We identified the spinous process of L2. The midpoint of the spinous process of L2 was marked. A line perpendicular to the spinous process of L2 was then drawn on his skin, and a point that was 1¾ inches from the midline was then marked. The skin at this point was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine using a 25-gauge B-bevel needle. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch needle that was advanced under a slightly cephalic medial direction, approximately 85 degrees off midline. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the needle was advanced. On the first attempt on the left, we encountered the transverse process of L2. The needle was repositioned left of cephalic, and we were able to bypass the transverse process. The needle was advanced until we encountered the vertebral body of L2 under ultrasound guidance. We then obtained a lateral view and found that indeed we were at the level of the midbody of L2. With this needle felt to be adequately placed, we then injected 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. The needle was left in place, and the stylet was replaced.
We then turned our attention to the right-hand side because of the excoriation on his legs and the edema that he said he experiences with increased levels of his pain. The skin was once again marked 1¾ inches from the midline at the midlevel of the spinous process of L2. The skin was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle that was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Of note, we made three or four passes in the attempt to approximate the needle next to the vertebral body of L2. Interesting to note is that in order to obtain the maximum view of the spinous process of L2, we were approximately 5 degrees to the right in terms of off midline. Once the 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle was placed on the right after several attempts, he did not complain of any paresthesias at this time. We then took a lateral view and found that our needle was not as deep as it should be. We then withdrew the needle, and on ultrasound guidance, using a lateral view, the needle was advanced until it was felt that we were at the appropriate depth. An AP view was then retaken, and we were found to be not at the body of L2 in terms of next to it. The needle was then removed and repositioned in a slightly medial fashion, and it was felt that we encountered bone. We then turned to the lateral view once again and found that we were at this time at the midbody of L2. This was felt to be adequately placed after three attempts. Then 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol was injected. The needle stylet was then replaced, and we then waited approximately 4 minutes for the Marcaine to set.
We then removed the needles of both the right and the left sides, respectively, and pressure was applied at the skin to prevent any bleeding. He was then placed in the supine position and was discharged home in satisfactory condition. He was instructed to call if he had any changes in edema of his legs.

Pre-op diagnosis: Left lung abscess
Post-op diagnosis: Same
Procedure performed: Left upper lobectomy with decortication and drainage
Indications: The patient is a 56-year-old female with evidence of a left upper-lobe abscess seen on the MRI. She was admitted with tension pneumothorax, which was treated with double-lumen intubation and a chest tube.
Procedure: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in the supine position, with general intubation from the double-lumen tube. The patient was rolled onto the right lateral decubitus position, with left side up. A posterior lateral thoracotomy was performed. Adhesions were taken down sharply and bluntly and with cautery. Following this a standard artery first left upper lobectomy was carried out utilizing 0 silk and hemoclips. The left upper pulmonary vein was secured with a single application of the stapling machine. The posterior fissure was created with multiple applications of the automatic stapling machine and the bronchus secured with a single application of the bronchus stapling machine. Following this the wound was drained with three 24-French strium chest tubes and hemostasis obtained with spray Tisseel and surgical gauze. The bronchus was sealed with bio glue and the wound closed in layers. A sterile compression dressing was applied, and the patient was returned to the surgical intensive care unit after the double-lumen tube was changed to a single-lumen tube. The patient received 3 units of packed cells intraoperatively to maintain hemostasis. Sponge count and needle count correct × 2. Large abscess in the left upper lobe accounted for approximately 70% of the left upper-lobe parenchyma.

Procedure performed: Fiber-optic bronchoscopy, bronchial biopsy, bronchial washings, and bronchial brushings
Preprocedure diagnosis: Abnormal chest x-ray
Postprocedure diagnosis: Inflammation in all lobes, pneumonia; with pleural placquing? consistent with possible candidiasis
The patient was already on a ventilator, so the bronchoscope tube was introduced through the ET tube. We saw 2.5 cm above the carina of the trachea, which was red and swollen as was the carina. The right lung: All entrances were patent, but they were all swollen and red, with increased secretions. The left lung was even more involved, with more swelling and more edema and had bloody secretions, especially at the left base. This area from the carina all the way down to the smaller airways on the left side had shown white placquing consistent with possible candidiasis. These areas were brushed, washed, and biopsied. A biopsy specimen was also sent for tissue culture, as well as two biopsy specimens sent for pathology. Sheath brushings were also performed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was sent back to the ICU.

Preoperative diagnosis: Respiratory insufficiency
Postoperative diagnosis: Respiratory insufficiency
Operation: Tracheostomy with division of thyroid isthmus
Estimated blood loss: Less than 10 mL
Fluids: Crystalloid
Complications: None
Technique: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in the supine position. He was given general anesthesia through his existing oral intubation tube. The anterior neck was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Lidocaine 1% with 1:100,000 epinephrine was infiltrated into the skin at the lower neck.
A transverse incision was made at the cricoid ring level through skin and subcutaneous fat. The platysmal layer was traversed, and then the strap muscles were separated in the midline. The thyroid isthmus was ligated and divided with #2-0 silk ligatures. An inferiorly based tracheostomy flap was created using the second and third tracheal rings and sewn into place with a #3-0 chromic stitch to the inferior dermis margin.
Hemostasis was achieved using suction cautery. At this point, the oral intubation tube was withdrawn, and a #8 Shiley low-pressure cuffed tube was passed into the newly created trach site. The trach ties were tied securely into place, and the cuff was inflated to a comfortable pressure. The patient then received further ventilation through the newly placed trach tube. The patient was then allowed to awaken from general anesthesia and was taken back to the ICU in stable condition.

Preoperative diagnosis: Left perihilar mass
Postoperative diagnosis: Left perihilar mass, mucosal abnormality in the posterior subsegment of the left upper lobe
Procedure performed: Bronchoscopy, transbronchial lung biopsy and bronchial lung biopsy, brushing and washing
Assistant: None
Anesthesia: MAC
Description of procedure: With the patient in the supine position, under monitored anesthesia care, the scope was introduced through the mouth, and the larynx and the laryngeal area were inspected. All of them were normal. The scope was then inserted through the trachea into the carina, which was sharp and clear. There was a moderate amount of thick-thin secretions that were suctioned through both right and left main bronchi. The scope was then directed into the right main bronchus, and then the right upper-lobe bronchus with its subsegments was inspected. All of them were normal. Right middle-lobe and right lower-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were also inspected and were normal. The scope was then directed into the left side, where the left main bronchus was normal. Left lower-lobe and middle-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were normal. The left upper-lobe bronchus, anterosuperior segment, showed an anterior subsegment to have a bulging in one of its subbronchi. Under fluoroscopy, biopsy forceps were inserted, and several pieces of lung tissue were obtained from the area of the left perihilar lesion. Then brushing was done in the same area. Washing was also done in the same area. Then, in a separate container, several pieces of bronchial tissue were taken from the area that was bulging, anterosuperior subsegment of the left upper-lobe bronchus. All specimens were submitted for cytology, pathology, and/or culture. The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no apparent complications. Chest x-ray is pending.

Procedure: Permanent pacemaker implantation
Indication for the procedure: Sick sinus syndrome with decreased mentation and confusion
Description of the procedure: After a detailed description of the procedure, indications, and potential risks of permanent pacemaker implantation was given to the patient as well as the patient's daughter, informed consent was obtained. The patient was transferred to the cardiac catheterization lab. A left subclavian area was prepared and draped in the usual sterile manner, and the left subclavian vein was accessed by Seldinger technique. A guidewire was placed. The left subclavian vein was accessed, and a separate guidewire was also placed.
Following this, a deep subcutaneous pacemaker pocket was created using the blunt dissection technique without any excessive bleeding.
Following this, a French-7 introducer sheath was advanced over the guidewire, and the guidewire was removed. A Medtronic bipolar endocardial lead, model #5054 and serial #LEH025605V, was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance, and the tip of the pacemaker lead was positioned in the right ventricular apex.
Following this, the French-9.5 introducer sheath was advanced over a separate guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance, and the guidewire was removed.
Through this sheath, a bipolar atrial screw-in lead by Medtronic, model #4568, was selected. It was positioned in the right atrial appendage, and the lead was screwed in.
Following this, the stimulation thresholds were obtained for the atrial lead. The amplitude was millivolts (mv) of resistance of 549 ohms, with pulse rate of 0.5 ms.
Following the ventricular stimulation, threshold perimeters were obtained, including R-wave entry of 4.6 mv with resistance of 1,427 ohms, with a pulse wave of 0.5 ms. Minimum-stimulation threshold voltage was 0.4 volt for the ventricular lead, and minimal-stimulation voltage was 2 volts for the atrial lead.

Preoperative diagnosis: Carcinoma of the lung with right neck metastasis
Postoperative diagnosis: Carcinoma of the lung with right neck metastasis
Operative procedures: Cervical esophagoscopy, microlaryngoscopy, and biopsy
Procedure and findings: With the patient under general anesthesia, the 10I 14 × 23 Roberts esophagoscope was passed. It was noticed that the left piriform sinus was of normal appearance. There was edema of the free tip of the epiglottis. The scope was advanced through the left piriform sinus into the cervical esophagus, and the cervical esophagus and postcricoid area were essentially normal. Also, the upper cervical esophagus was normal. The scope was slowly withdrawn through the right piriform sinus. It was noticed that there was a tumor involving the anterior wall of the right piriform sinus, extending approximately 1 cm below the pharyngeal epiglottic fold. This tumor then also involved the lateral hypopharyngeal wall to a minor degree. The scope was removed.
The Dedo microlaryngoscope was passed. It was now noticed that the above findings were further defined. It was noticed that there was an exit through the tumor involving the vallecula on the right side going into the base of the tongue for a distance of approximately 0.5 cm. This tumor was quite exophytic, and it extended laterally above the pharyngeal epiglottic fold, extending, therefore, approximately 0.75 cm to the lateral hypopharyngeal wall. It also involved heavily the medial wall of the right piriform sinus without crossing over onto the laryngeal surface of the epiglottic fold. The vocal cords were of normal appearance. The right vocal cord was fixed in the midline. Inferiorly the tumor extended onto the medial wall of the piriform sinus just about 0.5 cm below the level of the right vocal cord. The scope was suspended. These findings were confirmed, and under 10 × magnification, several biopsies were obtained. The scope was removed. The neck was carefully palpated. The endoscopy had been preceded by a tracheostomy. The patient was initially prepared with Betadine solution and draped in the usual manner. A horizontal incision was made approximately 2 cm above the sternal notch and carried through the subcutaneous tissue down to the strap muscles. The strap muscles were divided in the midline. The cricoid cartilage was identified, the trach ties were tied securely into place, and the cuff was inflated to a comfortable pressure. The patient then received further ventilation through the newly placed trach tube. The patient tolerated all procedures well.

Arteriogram: Left Renal Artery Stenosis
Procedure in detail: The procedure, indications, possible complications of an abdominal aortogram, and possible renal arteriogram were discussed with the patient. The patient agreed to have the procedure done and signed the consent.
Under sterile technique with fluoroscopy control, a vascular sheath was introduced in the right common femoral artery using the Seldinger technique. Through this sheath, a 5-French pigtail catheter was introduced and placed at the proximal abdominal aorta. Flush aortogram followed, and a digital subtraction study of the abdominal aorta, by placing the catheter close to the renal artery origin, was performed.
Evidence of mild atheromatous plaque disease involving the infrarenal abdominal aorta, causing focal dilation, is seen. No significant stenosis is noted at the aortic bifurcation.
The celiac axis, including the splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and hepatic artery, is normal.
On the right side, the renal artery is normal in caliber, without any significant stenosis. Segmental arteries are normal. Contrast nephrogram is also uniform.
On the left side, there is segmental narrowing at the origin of the left renal artery. The narrowed segment is approximately 2 cm in length, with the narrowing more than 50% to 60% seen. No significant distal stenotic dilation of the renal artery is seen. Segmental arteries of the left renal artery are normal. Nephrogram of the left kidney is also normal.
Since the digital subtraction study was done with stenosis analysis, left renal artery stenosis is in the range of 50% to 65%. Hence, a selective renal arteriogram was not performed.
Impression: A 2-cm stenotic segment involving the origin of the left renal artery with stenosis in the range of 50% to 65% is noted. Segmental arteries of the left kidney are normal. Nephrogram of the left kidney is also normal.

CT Scan of the Chest and Adrenals
History: Left pulmonary nodule on chest x-ray
Technique: Helical transaxial images, 7 mm, of the chest were obtained after the administration of oral and intravenous contrast.
Findings: The patient's chest x-rays from February 24 and 25 were reviewed. There is an ill-defined opacity suggested in the left midlung zones on those studies, including oblique views.
Within the left lower lobe laterally, there is an approximately 2-cm area of parenchymal density that has the appearance of interstitial changes without findings of a significant nodule or mass. This finding can relate to scarring. There is no other nodule, mass, or effusion. Within the mediastinum, there is no evidence of adenopathy seen. The heart and great vessels are normal in appearance. There is a suggestion of minimal pericardial thickening anteriorly that is not specific. Osseous structures show degenerative changes with osteophyte formation at multiple levels in the thoracic spine.
Visualized upper abdominal structures, including liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, aorta, and para-aortic retroperitoneum, show no specific finding. The adrenal glands are not enlarged.
Impression: There is a small focal area of increased parenchymal density that has an interstitial pattern. There is no significant nodule or mass. This is suggestive of scarring. There is no nodule, mass, effusion, or adenopathy seen. Consider chest x-ray follow-up of this lesion to assess stability.

Examination: Gastric-emptying study
Reason for the examination: This is a study of elimination for gastroparesis, abdominal cramping, and pain.
Interpretation: One millicurie of technetium-99m sulfur colloid was given through a gastrostomy tube in saline. The normal half-time of clearance of liquid material from the stomach is 12 minutes. The patient's clearance is 50 minutes, which is a fourfold increase in time and is compatible with a marked delay in gastric emptying.

Thoracic Aortogram with Cerebral Angiography
History: The patient is an 82-year-old man with a thoracic aneurysm and carotid stenosis.
Procedure: A 20-minute consultation was utilized explaining the risks, benefits, and alternatives of angiography. All the patient's questions were answered, and he had given informed consent prior to the procedure. The patient was premedicated with IM Demerol and Phenergan. Buffered lidocaine was used for local anesthesia. Sedation was not required.
A 5-French pigtail catheter was advanced into the aorta via the right femoral artery with the standard Seldinger technique. With the tip of the catheter in the ascending aorta, an aortogram with digital subtraction technique was obtained in the left anterior projection. AP frontal view of the intracranial circulation was also obtained from an arch injection. The catheter was then exchanged over a guidewire for a 5-French Simmons II catheter. The carotid artery and left vertebral artery were selectively catheterized and injected with contrast for digital subtraction filming. In the right common carotid, it was initially difficult to get a stable catheter position, and various combinations of guidewires and a Simmons III catheter were used to obtain selective catheterization. After all images were reviewed, the catheter was removed, and direct pressure was applied to the puncture site until complete hemostasis was achieved.
Total contrast load was 132 cc of Isovue. Fluoroscopy time was 41.5 minutes.
Findings: The ascending aortic arch is dilated and has a more normal diameter just after the left subclavian catheter, and then the descending thoracic aorta enlarges again. There is no evidence of intimal dissection. The origins from the arch are patent. The right carotid bifurcation is slightly irregular; however, no hemodynamically significant stenosis is observed in the right internal carotid. The right external carotid is open. The left external carotid is completely occluded. The left internal carotid has 75% reduction of its cross-sectional area near its origin. On selective injections, it is interesting to note that the right anterior cerebral artery does not fill from the right carotid injection, but both anterior cerebral arteries fill from the left carotid injection. Vertebral arteries are patent. The left vertebral artery is larger. No obvious intracranial abnormality is observed.
Impression: There is 75% stenosis of the left internal carotid. Complete occlusion of the left external carotid. Very mild irregularity of the right internal carotid. Widely patent right external carotid. Both vertebral arteries are patent.

History: A 62-year-old woman (height, 1.7 m; weight, 61 kg) was scheduled for resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma. Her medical history revealed hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency, and stiff person syndrome. This syndrome started with low back pain, which rendered her unable to walk. She was experiencing stiffness, involuntary jerks, and painful cramps. Neurologic examination revealed extreme hypertonia of the body and proximal legs, with intercurrent, painful spasms. Reflexes were symmetrical without Babinski signs. Laboratory findings showed positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and negative amphiphysin antibodies. The patient was successfully treated with baclofen and diazepam. Subsequently, prednisone as immunosuppressive therapy was started. The stiffness diminished, and the patient was able to walk unaided. The neurologic examination was unremarkable, except for a slight stiffness in the legs. Her medication at admission was prednisone 20 mg once a day, baclofen 12.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 25 mg), diazepam 7.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 15 mg), levothyroxine 25 ?g once a day, and vitamin B12 injections. Her medical history included urologic and gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia before she experienced SPS.
Procedure: No premedication was given. Anesthesia was induced with propofol (2.5 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.25 ?g/kg). After the administration of atracurium (0.6 mg/kg), the trachea was intubated, and anesthesia was continued with isoflurane (0.6-1.0 vol %) and oxygen/air for the duration of the procedure. Cefuroxime 1,500 mg, clindamycin 600 mg, and dexamethasone 10 mg were administered IV. In the following 2 hours, additional atracurium (35 mg), sufentanil (10 ?g), and morphine (8 mg) were administered. At the end of the procedure, which was uneventful, neuromuscular monitoring showed four strong twitches. Although the patient was responsive, she could not open her eyes, grasp with either hand, or generate tidal volumes beyond 200 mL. Neostigmine 2 mg (0.03 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg did not alter the clinical signs of muscle weakness.
The patient was sedated with propofol and further mechanically ventilated in the recovery room. After 1 hour, the sedation was stopped and mechanical ventilation was terminated. At that time, baclofen 12.5 mg was administered into the gastric tube. Two hours later she was in a good clinical condition, and her trachea was extubated.

History: A 73-year-old 81-kg male with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and moderate in situ adenocarcinoma of the prostate presents for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The preoperative evaluation reveals a history of smoking (60 pack-years), normal ejection fraction and heart valves, and normal chest x-ray and EKG. No other significant findings.
Procedure: He was taken to the operating room and monitored as per routine for cystoscopy and TURP. After appropriate preoxygenation, general anesthesia was uneventfully induced with fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. The patient was intubated, ventilated, and placed in the lithotomy position. The operative procedure was started without difficulty. After 90 minutes, the patient's temperature had dropped from 35.9°C at the beginning of the case to 32.9°C. Blood was sent to the lab due to the length of the surgery. The patient's vital signs were stable. Shortly thereafter the following values were sent back from the laboratory to the operating room: NA 109 mEq/L, K 4.7 mEq/L, CL 83 mEq/L, Glucose 83 mg/dl, Hct 34. The anesthesiologist informed the surgeon about the findings, and the surgery was then stopped. The patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
At arrival in the SICU: The patient was still intubated and sedated. The body temperature was 33.5°C. The laboratory measurements revealed NA 107 mEq/L, K 5.7 mEq/L, CL 79 mEq/L, CO2 109 mEq/L, ammonia level of 60 mmol/L, and serum osmolarity of 273. A radial arterial catheter and a central venous catheter were inserted, and rewarming with hot air (Bair Hugger) was initiated.

Preprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Postprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Procedure performed: Lumbar epidural steroid injection
Anesthesia given: Local
Indications for procedure: This 53-year-old female presents with symptoms consistent with a lumbar radiculopathy. Previous epidural steroid injections have resulted in significant improvement of her pain. This is the second in a series of three of those injections.
Description of procedure: The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. The L4-5 interspace was identified with deep palpation. Local infiltration was carried out with 3 cc of 1% lidocaine. The area was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. An 18-gauge Tuohy needle was advanced to the epidural space with the loss-of-resistance technique. Then a mixture of Depo-Medrol 80 mg, normal saline 10 cc, and lidocaine 1% at 5 cc was injected. No complications were encountered, and the patient was returned to the outpatient surgery department in stable condition.
Plan: To repeat this procedure in two weeks

Preoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Postoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Procedures: Bilateral lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block under ultrasound guidance.
Left hip greater trochanter bursa injection.
Procedure in detail: All questions were answered. His back was palpated to try to elicit areas of discomfort. This was quite difficult to do, since he said he hurt all over. Of note is that we had looked at his legs, and on his right leg he had an area of excoriation or erythema that was unusual for him, and he stated that his pain seemed to correlate with his edema and erythema of his legs. With this in mind, we turned our attention first to his left hip pain and asked him to move his left hip to where we could elicit a point of maximum tenderness. Point of maximum tenderness was elicited over what appeared to be the greater trochanter of the left hip area itself. We then injected what appeared to be the bursa of the left hip with 10 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. He was then placed in a prone position with a pillow supporting his upper abdomen. In light of his symptoms down his legs, we felt that a lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block was indicated at this time. We identified the spinous process of L2. The midpoint of the spinous process of L2 was marked. A line perpendicular to the spinous process of L2 was then drawn on his skin, and a point that was 1¾ inches from the midline was then marked. The skin at this point was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine using a 25-gauge B-bevel needle. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch needle that was advanced under a slightly cephalic medial direction, approximately 85 degrees off midline. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the needle was advanced. On the first attempt on the left, we encountered the transverse process of L2. The needle was repositioned left of cephalic, and we were able to bypass the transverse process. The needle was advanced until we encountered the vertebral body of L2 under ultrasound guidance. We then obtained a lateral view and found that indeed we were at the level of the midbody of L2. With this needle felt to be adequately placed, we then injected 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. The needle was left in place, and the stylet was replaced.
We then turned our attention to the right-hand side because of the excoriation on his legs and the edema that he said he experiences with increased levels of his pain. The skin was once again marked 1¾ inches from the midline at the midlevel of the spinous process of L2. The skin was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle that was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Of note, we made three or four passes in the attempt to approximate the needle next to the vertebral body of L2. Interesting to note is that in order to obtain the maximum view of the spinous process of L2, we were approximately 5 degrees to the right in terms of off midline. Once the 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle was placed on the right after several attempts, he did not complain of any paresthesias at this time. We then took a lateral view and found that our needle was not as deep as it should be. We then withdrew the needle, and on ultrasound guidance, using a lateral view, the needle was advanced until it was felt that we were at the appropriate depth. An AP view was then retaken, and we were found to be not at the body of L2 in terms of next to it. The needle was then removed and repositioned in a slightly medial fashion, and it was felt that we encountered bone. We then turned to the lateral view once again and found that we were at this time at the midbody of L2. This was felt to be adequately placed after three attempts. Then 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol was injected. The needle stylet was then replaced, and we then waited approximately 4 minutes for the Marcaine to set.
We then removed the needles of both the right and the left sides, respectively, and pressure was applied at the skin to prevent any bleeding. He was then placed in the supine position and was discharged home in satisfactory condition. He was instructed to call if he had any changes in edema of his legs.

Preoperative diagnosis: Morbid obesity
Postoperative diagnoisis: Morbid obesity
Procedure performed: Abdominal panniculectomy
Estimated blood loss: Throughout the procedure, approximately 20 Ml
Anesthesia: General endotracheal anesthesia
Indications for procedure: This is a 49-year-old female who previously underwent gastric bypass surgery and has lost 120 pounds, leaving a large lower pannus of the abdomen. This pannus needs to be resected. The nonoperative versus operative management options were discussed with the patient. The operative risks included bleeding, infection, hematoma, chance for further surgery as well as pain, and a resulting scar. The patient accepted the risks and consented to surgery.
Procedure in detail: The patient was placed under general endotracheal anesthesia. The patient was draped in the proper manner, and the lower abdominal pannus was identified. It was preoperatively marked prior to going to the OR. The lower incision was made from the superior iliac crest with the middle being the pubic tubercle. That lower incision was then made. The pass was then elevated at the level of the anterior abdominal fascia and was elevated superiorly to the level of the inferior umbilicus. Then incisions were made on the umbilicus to the superior iliac crest, and the skin and subcutaneous pannus was passed off table as a specimen. The wound was then made hemostatic with the use of electrocautery. JP drains were placed. The abdominal skin flap was then brought to the inferior skin flap and sutured in place with 2-0 Vicryl sutures at the dermal level. The drains were then secured, and then the skin was closed with running 3-0 Monocryl suture. The wound was further dressed with Steri-strips, gauze, and abdominal binder. The patient tolerated the procedure well. All needle and instrument counts at the end of the procedure were correct, and the patient was taken to PACU in good condition.

Procedure performed: Left-sided heart catheterization, selective coronary angiography, and left ventriculography
Indication: Chest pain and abnormal Cardiolite stress test
RESULTS
Hemodynamics: The left ventricular pressure before the LV-gram was 117/1 with an LVEDP of 4; after the LV-gram it was111/4 with an LVEDP of 10. The aortic pressure on pullback was 111/17.
Left ventriculography: The left ventriculography showed that the left ventricle was of normal size. There were no significant segmental wall motion abnormalities. The overall left ventricular systolic function was normal, with an ejection fraction of better than 60%.
Selective coronary angiography:
A. Right coronary artery: The right coronary artery is a medium- to large-size dominant artery that has about 80% to 90% proximal/mideccentric stenosis. The rest of the artery has only mild surface irregularities.
B. Left main coronary artery: The left main has mild distal narrowing.
C. Left circumflex artery: The left circumflex artery is a medium-size, nondominant artery. It gives rise to a very high first obtuse marginal/intermedius, which is a bifurcation medium-size artery that has only mild surface irregularities. The second obtuse marginal is also a medium-size artery that has about 20% to 25% proximal narrowing. After that second obtuse marginal, the circumflex artery is a small-size artery that has about 20% to 30% narrowing, a small aneurismal segment.
D. Left anterior descending coronary artery: The left anterior descending artery is a medium-size artery that is mildly calcified. It gives rise to a very tiny first diagonal that has mild diffuse atherosclerotic disease. Right at the origin on the second diagonal, the LAD has about 30% narrowing. The rest of the artery is free of significant obstructive disease. The second diagonal is also a small-caliber artery that has no significant obstructive disease.
Conclusion: Severe single-vessel atherosclerotic heart disease

Bilateral Doppler Study: Carotid Arteries
Indications: Status post-carotid endarterectomy imaging. The patient states that he was told that the right carotid artery is blocked. The right internal carotid artery is not identified, probably completely blocked.
Velocity measurements on the right side:
Common carotid artery: 58.9 cm/sec
Right external carotid: 142 cm/sec
Right vertebral: 44 cm/sec and showing antegrade flow
Velocity measurements on the left side:
Common carotid artery: 35 cm/sec
Carotid bulb: 60 cm/sec
Internal carotid: 52 cm/sec
External carotid: 236 cm/sec
Left vertebral: 55 cm/sec
Status postendarterectomy changes are noted in the left internal carotid and the bulb. There is evidence of ectasia. On the right, the common carotid artery shows ectasia.
Judging from the velocity measurements, the right internal carotid artery has a stenosis in the range of 50% to 79%.
The left internal carotid artery has a stenosis in the range of 16% to 49%. The left external carotid artery is in the range of 50% to 79%.
Impression: The right internal carotid artery is completely occluded. Status postendarterectomy changes in the left internal carotid and the bulb are noted. No significant occlusive disease is seen in the left internal carotid artery. Both vertebral arteries are showing antegrade flow.

Preoperative diagnosis: Right subdural hematoma
Postoperative diagnosis: Right subdural hematoma
Procedure performed: Right temporoparietal craniotomy for evacuation of subdural hematoma
Anesthesia: General endotracheal
Complications: None
Conditions: Stable
Indications for procedure: Mr. Green is a 45-year-old male with a known history of alcoholism. He reported falling today, with loss of consciousness for about 20 minutes. Upon arrival at the ED, he was minimally responsive, with some spontaneous movement on the right side. He was intubated and taken to CT, which demonstrated a large right temporal subdural hematoma with 2.5-cm midline shift and effacement of the right lateral ventricle.
Description of procedure: The patient was brought to the OR already intubated. General anesthesia was induced. He was given Ancef for preoperative prophylactic IV antibiotics. Lacri-Lube was placed in both eyes, which were then taped shut. A Foley was placed. The patient was positioned supine on the operating room table with the right side elevated with a gel roll. The head was secured in the three-point Mayfield head-holder with the right side up. All pressure points were inspected and padded adequately. The patient's scalp was clipped, prepped, and draped in standard sterile surgical fashion. Local anesthetic was infiltrated along the line of the planned skin incision. A right temporoparietal inverted-question-mark incision was performed with a #10 blade down to the level of the periosteum. The scalp flap, along with the muscle and periosteum, was elevated and reflected anteriorly and held in place with fishhooks. Raney clips were applied to the skin edges. Using the high-speed Midas Rex drill with the perforator bit, burr holes were placed in the temporoparietal region, and they were connected with the B1 and footplate. The bone flap was elevated from the dura and set aside. The underlying brain appeared to be tense. The dura was opened with a 15-blade, and a large amount of subdural hematoma was immediately released. The subdural space was copiously irrigated, and hemostasis was achieved.

History: A 62-year-old woman (height, 1.7 m; weight, 61 kg) was scheduled for resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma. Her medical history revealed hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency, and stiff person syndrome. This syndrome started with low back pain, which rendered her unable to walk. She was experiencing stiffness, involuntary jerks, and painful cramps. Neurologic examination revealed extreme hypertonia of the body and proximal legs, with intercurrent, painful spasms. Reflexes were symmetrical without Babinski signs. Laboratory findings showed positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and negative amphiphysin antibodies. The patient was successfully treated with baclofen and diazepam. Subsequently, prednisone as immunosuppressive therapy was started. The stiffness diminished, and the patient was able to walk unaided. The neurologic examination was unremarkable, except for a slight stiffness in the legs. Her medication at admission was prednisone 20 mg once a day, baclofen 12.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 25 mg), diazepam 7.5 mg twice a day (daily dose = 15 mg), levothyroxine 25 ?g once a day, and vitamin B12 injections. Her medical history included urologic and gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia before she experienced SPS.
Procedure: No premedication was given. Anesthesia was induced with propofol (2.5 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.25 ?g/kg). After the administration of atracurium (0.6 mg/kg), the trachea was intubated, and anesthesia was continued with isoflurane (0.6-1.0 vol %) and oxygen/air for the duration of the procedure. Cefuroxime 1,500 mg, clindamycin 600 mg, and dexamethasone 10 mg were administered IV. In the following 2 hours, additional atracurium (35 mg), sufentanil (10 ?g), and morphine (8 mg) were administered. At the end of the procedure, which was uneventful, neuromuscular monitoring showed four strong twitches. Although the patient was responsive, she could not open her eyes, grasp with either hand, or generate tidal volumes beyond 200 mL. Neostigmine 2 mg (0.03 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg did not alter the clinical signs of muscle weakness.
The patient was sedated with propofol and further mechanically ventilated in the recovery room. After 1 hour, the sedation was stopped and mechanical ventilation was terminated. At that time, baclofen 12.5 mg was administered into the gastric tube. Two hours later she was in a good clinical condition, and her trachea was extubated.

History: A 73-year-old 81-kg male with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and moderate in situ adenocarcinoma of the prostate presents for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The preoperative evaluation reveals a history of smoking (60 pack-years), normal ejection fraction and heart valves, and normal chest x-ray and EKG. No other significant findings.
Procedure: He was taken to the operating room and monitored as per routine for cystoscopy and TURP. After appropriate preoxygenation, general anesthesia was uneventfully induced with fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. The patient was intubated, ventilated, and placed in the lithotomy position. The operative procedure was started without difficulty. After 90 minutes, the patient's temperature had dropped from 35.9°C at the beginning of the case to 32.9°C. Blood was sent to the lab due to the length of the surgery. The patient's vital signs were stable. Shortly thereafter the following values were sent back from the laboratory to the operating room: NA 109 mEq/L, K 4.7 mEq/L, CL 83 mEq/L, Glucose 83 mg/dl, Hct 34. The anesthesiologist informed the surgeon about the findings, and the surgery was then stopped. The patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
At arrival in the SICU: The patient was still intubated and sedated. The body temperature was 33.5°C. The laboratory measurements revealed NA 107 mEq/L, K 5.7 mEq/L, CL 79 mEq/L, CO2 109 mEq/L, ammonia level of 60 mmol/L, and serum osmolarity of 273. A radial arterial catheter and a central venous catheter were inserted, and rewarming with hot air (Bair Hugger) was initiated.

Preprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Postprocedure diagnosis: Lumbar radiculopathy
Procedure performed: Lumbar epidural steroid injection
Anesthesia given: Local
Indications for procedure: This 53-year-old female presents with symptoms consistent with a lumbar radiculopathy. Previous epidural steroid injections have resulted in significant improvement of her pain. This is the second in a series of three of those injections.
Description of procedure: The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. The L4-5 interspace was identified with deep palpation. Local infiltration was carried out with 3 cc of 1% lidocaine. The area was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. An 18-gauge Tuohy needle was advanced to the epidural space with the loss-of-resistance technique. Then a mixture of Depo-Medrol 80 mg, normal saline 10 cc, and lidocaine 1% at 5 cc was injected. No complications were encountered, and the patient was returned to the outpatient surgery department in stable condition.
Plan: To repeat this procedure in two weeks

Preoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Postoperative diagnosis: Left hip pain and bilateral chest and back pain
Procedures: Bilateral lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block under ultrasound guidance.
Left hip greater trochanter bursa injection.
Procedure in detail: All questions were answered. His back was palpated to try to elicit areas of discomfort. This was quite difficult to do, since he said he hurt all over. Of note is that we had looked at his legs, and on his right leg he had an area of excoriation or erythema that was unusual for him, and he stated that his pain seemed to correlate with his edema and erythema of his legs. With this in mind, we turned our attention first to his left hip pain and asked him to move his left hip to where we could elicit a point of maximum tenderness. Point of maximum tenderness was elicited over what appeared to be the greater trochanter of the left hip area itself. We then injected what appeared to be the bursa of the left hip with 10 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. He was then placed in a prone position with a pillow supporting his upper abdomen. In light of his symptoms down his legs, we felt that a lumbar paravertebral sympathetic nerve block was indicated at this time. We identified the spinous process of L2. The midpoint of the spinous process of L2 was marked. A line perpendicular to the spinous process of L2 was then drawn on his skin, and a point that was 1¾ inches from the midline was then marked. The skin at this point was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine using a 25-gauge B-bevel needle. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch needle that was advanced under a slightly cephalic medial direction, approximately 85 degrees off midline. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the needle was advanced. On the first attempt on the left, we encountered the transverse process of L2. The needle was repositioned left of cephalic, and we were able to bypass the transverse process. The needle was advanced until we encountered the vertebral body of L2 under ultrasound guidance. We then obtained a lateral view and found that indeed we were at the level of the midbody of L2. With this needle felt to be adequately placed, we then injected 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol. The needle was left in place, and the stylet was replaced.
We then turned our attention to the right-hand side because of the excoriation on his legs and the edema that he said he experiences with increased levels of his pain. The skin was once again marked 1¾ inches from the midline at the midlevel of the spinous process of L2. The skin was anesthetized with 1.5% lidocaine. This was then followed with a 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle that was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Of note, we made three or four passes in the attempt to approximate the needle next to the vertebral body of L2. Interesting to note is that in order to obtain the maximum view of the spinous process of L2, we were approximately 5 degrees to the right in terms of off midline. Once the 22-gauge 3½-inch spinal needle was placed on the right after several attempts, he did not complain of any paresthesias at this time. We then took a lateral view and found that our needle was not as deep as it should be. We then withdrew the needle, and on ultrasound guidance, using a lateral view, the needle was advanced until it was felt that we were at the appropriate depth. An AP view was then retaken, and we were found to be not at the body of L2 in terms of next to it. The needle was then removed and repositioned in a slightly medial fashion, and it was felt that we encountered bone. We then turned to the lateral view once again and found that we were at this time at the midbody of L2. This was felt to be adequately placed after three attempts. Then 6 cc of 0.25% Marcaine with 20 mg of Depo-Medrol was injected. The needle stylet was then replaced, and we then waited approximately 4 minutes for the Marcaine to set.
We then removed the needles of both the right and the left sides, respectively, and pressure was applied at the skin to prevent any bleeding. He was then placed in the supine position and was discharged home in satisfactory condition. He was instructed to call if he had any changes in edema of his legs.

A 43-year-old male came into the doctor's office to have a hemorrhoidopexy by stapling for his second-degree hemorrhoids. He was very uneasy since he had never had this procedure before. Dr. Hanson administered an IV of Versed, for the anxiety. The procedure is not really painful, so there was no need for a full anesthetic or painkiller. Myrtle Pape, a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), sat with the patient throughout the procedure to ensure his safety and comfort level. The procedure was complete in one stage, taking 30 minutes.Select the appropriate ICD-10-CM and CPT code(s):
