Abstract

Background: Open fractures of the radius and ulna in elderly patients are conditions that require fast and appropriate treatment. Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is a common treatment option, but in elderly patients, general anesthesia may be high risk. Supraclavicular brachial plexus block is an effective and safe regional anesthetic option for ORIF in elderly patients. Case presentation: We report the case of a 71-year-old man with an open fracture of the left third radius and middle ulna who was planned for ORIF. The patient had comorbid hypertension and reduced left ventricular function. Supraclavicular brachial plexus block was performed using 0.5% bupivacaine (10 mL) and 2% lidocaine (10 mL). The patient did not complain of pain during the operation and recovered well. Conclusion: Supraclavicular brachial plexus block is an effective and safe regional anesthetic option for ORIF in elderly patients with open fractures of the radius and ulna.

Abstract

Introduction: Eclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication with high maternal and fetal mortality rates. The choice of anesthetic technique in eclamptic patients must consider various factors, including the condition of the mother and fetus, the risk of complications, and the experience of the anesthesia team. Case presentation: We report the case of a 21-year-old 39-week-old primigravida (G1P0A0) with severe eclampsia who experienced two tonic-clonic seizures. The patient was intubated in the emergency room and underwent an emergency caesarean section under general anesthesia. The patient was treated in the ICU for one day and extubated on the second day. Conclusion: The choice of anesthetic technique in eclamptic patients must be done individually by considering various factors. The anesthesia team must be experienced in treating eclamptic patients and have the readiness to deal with complications that may occur.
