[Anesthesia risks in inflammatory processes in the floor of the mouth-neck region (author's transl)]. 1977

H Stellpflug, and K H Austermann

Anesthesia for surgical treatment of extensive floor of the mouth-neck phlegmons has a particularly high risk rate. The general condition of the patients to be treated is poorer; respiratory passages are constricted by inflammation-induced swelling. The resulting hypoxia is a main factor in the pluricausal origin of hyperreflexia. Three cases selected from the author's own patients show the problems which occur with this particular clinical picture. The consequences of an adequate preparation for and induction of anesthesia were presented.

D012018	Reflex	An involuntary movement or exercise of function in a part, excited in response to a stimulus applied to the periphery and transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.
D012121	Respiration, Artificial	Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
