Abstract:
Intraoperative airway obstruction is a nightmare for anesthesiologists, especially in head and neck surgeries. Due to the proximity of airway and surgical area, it will be difficult for anesthesiologists for the airway access. There are many causes of intraoperative airway obstruction. To the best of our literature search, there is no case report of airway obstruction due to betadine solution. Here we present a case of airway obstruction due to endotracheal tube blockade by the use of betadine solution in the surgery of cervical region in a child posted for posterior C1-C2 fusion in prone position on skull pins.

Tracheostomy Decannulation
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
