Capillary Circulation

Compartment syndrome is a serious condition in which the pressure in the limb increases and potentially compromises capillary circulation with subsequent ischaemic complications. This case report presents a case of bilateral lower limb compartment syndrome after bilateral breast reduction for back pain. The patient was an otherwise healthy 24-year-old Afro-Caribbean woman. This report aims to highlight the need for an increased index of suspicion for compartment syndrome in any postoperative patient complaining of lower limb pain.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.

We would like to present the first report of severe acute dystonic reaction after a single administration of metoclopramide during cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.  During elective cesarean section, a 30-year-old female vomited four times and was treated with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide and 8mg intravenous ondansetron.  Nausea subsided with the antiemetic treatment, but two minutes later, patient had rapid eye blinking, uncontrollable head movement, and became unresponsive.  Bolus of 50mg intravenous diphenhydramine resolved the acute dystonic symptoms within seconds.  Patient was again oriented times three, with no recollection of symptoms, and remained symptom free for the rest of admission.
