See Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) B.4. How would you preoperatively optimize the ability to secure the airway in the operating room? B.9. What precautions should be taken for airway management? C.1. What factors would alter your anesthetic technique from that used for a nonpregnant patient? C.2. Can a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) be used? C.2. Describe techniques other than direct laryngoscopy that would be useful for securing the airway in this baby. C.2. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Difficult Airway Algorithm provides a guideline for management of the difficult airway. How do the comorbidities in patients with MO and OSA modify implementation of the algorithm? C.2. The patient did not have an asthmatic attack in the operating room, and you proceed with induction of anesthesia. How would you induce anesthesia? Would you use a supraglottic airway device instead of an endotracheal tube? C.4. There are many new airway devices in the marketplace. Which of these devices have been particularly successful in patient with MO or OSA? Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery See Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)

See Laser TURP (L-TURP) C.3. Does neuraxial anesthesia result in a lower incidence of perioperative mortality than general anesthesia? C.4. What intravenous fluid would you use during TURP? C.5. A spinal anesthetic was performed and a sensory level of T10 was confirmed prior to the start of the procedure. About forty minutes after initiation of monopolar TURP (M-TURP) using glycine as the bladder-irrigating solution, the patient becomes agitated and complains of nausea. Further sedation along with an antiemetic is administered. However, shortly thereafter, the patient becomes very restless, blood pressure rises, and heart rate decreases. The patient becomes cyanotic and obtunded, blood pressure precipitously falls, and pupils are dilated and unresponsive to light. What is the most likely cause of these signs and symptoms, and would these occur during bipolar TURP (B-TURP) or laser TURP (L-TURP) resection? C.6. What are the important characteristics of irrigation solutions used during TURP? E.2. What differentiates the technologies for L-TURP? E.3. Are there any alternatives to TURP for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH)? See Laser TURP (L-TURP) Transurethral Resection of the Prostate and Geriatric Anesthesia
