Patients with severe MS are at increased risk of developing complications such as perioperative pulmonary edema, cardiac failure, arrythmias, embolic events, hemoptysis, infective endocarditis, pulmonary infection, etc, during the perioperative period.\u00a0 Hence adequate preop optimization and planning is necessary before the surgery.

The former is due to exogenous or endogenous acid loads, resulting in normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. The latter is due to the loss of a base from either the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract, producing a non-anionic gap or hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) arises from the kidney\u2019s inability to excrete enough acid or retain enough bicarbonate (HCO3), resulting in a clinical syndrome characterized by non-gap metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia, and impaired urinary acidification.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5168″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Ultrasound Guided Interventional Pain Management in Cervicogenic Head Ache” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n Headaches are experienced by most people from time to time, which affects relatively large minority of the people.

But cervicogenic headaches are contributes only 0.4-4% of people, which often misdiagnosed due to its complex presentation. It affects younger age group between 30 to 50 years. This disease needs early diagnosis and management to stop the chronicity and complex presentation. Hence the early management reduces the burden of medication overuse in this age group to more severe pain.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”7522″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Difficult Intubation Case Scenario: Awake Fob Intubation for Morbidly Obese Patient with Cervical Spine Injury” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]History<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Mr Abdul Samath, 61 years gentleman, came to emergency\u00a0 department.
