Abstract:
A 61-year-old man diagnosed with advanced stage Leriche syndrome underwent revascularization surgery with placement of an aortobifemoral shunt and prosthesis under combined general and lumbar epidural anesthesia. After 6 hours he developed bilateral lower extremity compartment syndrome with acute anuric kidney failure caused by severe rhabdomyolysis. Thirty hours after surgery the patient suffered cardiac arrest due to hyperkalemia and was unresponsive to advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The delay in diagnosis, in part owing to the epidural block provided for surgery, and loss of muscle mass led to the unfavorable outcome in this case.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
