The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the landscape of anesthesia care to involve telehealth, a tool that includes phone- and video-conferencing. Traditionally, pre-anesthesia consultations involve in person medical history-taking; laboratory testing or investigations; focused physical examination; and referral to other medical services to optimize the patient’s health prior to anesthetic procedures. The transition to incorporate virtual visits for not only patients living in rural and remote areas, but also local patients, prompts anesthesiologists to adapt their traditional practices to a new digital platform.

This lecture highlights best practices for virtual pre-anesthesia consultations.

The objectives of this course are:

Review the components of traditional pre-anesthesia consultation
Define telehealth and virtual anesthesia consultation
Identify the advantages, challenges, and limitations of virtual visits
Examine how current best practices of telemedicine may be adapted to anesthesia practice
Develop best practices for virtual pre-anesthesia consultation

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common group of inherited red blood cell disorders, with a prevalence of an estimated 70,000 – 100,000 individuals in North America, and an additional 3.5 million individuals as heterozygous carriers. At low oxygen tensions, hemoglobin in patients with SCD changes conformation to a sickle shape, which can potentially lead to vaso-occulsive crises. Sequelae of these crises include stroke and cranial symptoms, with 11% of SCD children presenting with overt stroke symptoms and another 30% presenting with silent cerebral infarcts. Anesthetic goals for the perioperative management of these patients are to avoid acidosis, hypotension, hypoxia, infection, hypothermia, vaso-constriction and venous stasis, all of which can precipitate a vaso-occlusive crisis.

The following case describes the successful management of a 12-year-old girl with a past medical history (PMHx) of sickle cell anemia who presented for extraction of several supernumerary teeth and biopsy with enucleation of lower left mandibular cyst under general anesthesia. The use of cerebral oximetry in the intraoperative management of sickle cell patients has not yet to date been described in the literature. Cerebral oximeters such as the INVOS^TM Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter (Medtronic) which was used in this case are able to estimate regional tissue oxygenation of the frontal cortex, and therefore detect changes in oxygen supply and demand. Utilization of cerebral oximetry in the intraoperative period, can help provide early recognition of signs of ischemia facilitating early interventions to reduce postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Airway management is one of the most important responsibilities of an anesthesiologist. Some may even argue that anticipating and preparing for a difficult airway is the crux of our role. As advancements are made in surgical procedures and equipment, the anesthesiologist must develop ways to adapt. Fortunately, many tools and techniques already exist in our armamentarium.

According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ difficult airway algorithm, the first step is to identify patients who may be difficult to ventilate [1]. More specifically, an aspect of this is determining whether a patient will have a poor mask seal, whether it be due to edentulism, facial hair, or a dentofacial deformity [2]. In this presentation, we evaluate the difficulty of achieving a good mask seal on patients undergoing robotic implant placement with a Yomi robot, in an outpatient ambulatory setting. We demonstrate the process of establishing and securing the airway via nasal-tracheal intubation prior to ventilating patients. A large component of our decision-making is influenced by the requirement of the Yomi technique to insert either an Edentulous Patient Splint (EPS) or a Chairside Patient Splint (CPS) prior to taking a cone beam CT scan and inducing the patient. Our ability to provide this service allows our surgical colleagues to use a new technique to advance implant placement in a more precise manner. Ultimately, we align with certain recommendations that can be broadly applied to intubated general anesthesia cases in an outpatient setting [3].

Hemodynamic resuscitation in critically ill trauma patients receiving massive blood transfusions
have a 35% increased chance of developing trauma-induced coagulopathy, a secondary event that drastically increases mortality rates. As a multifactorial system, trauma-induced coagulopathy or acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) encompasses an array of complex
mechanisms including: consumption coagulopathy and blood loss; dilution; hormonal disruption; coagulation disruption; hypoxia; metabolic acidosis; hypothermia; and immune activation. As a potentially life-threatening event, ATC must be identified as early as possible to prevent death by massive hemorrhage.
Methods:
This is a case report of acute traumatic coagulopathy following post-operative secondary
hemorrhage and resuscitation.
Results:
This patient is a 70 year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, hepatitis C, peripheral artery disease with bilateral femoral-popliteal occlusion, and polysubstance abuse presenting for right groin exploratory, endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta, control of hemorrhage, patch angio right CFA/EIA following lower left extremity angioplasty with stunting and graft bypass under general anesthesia. Symptoms of intraoperative hemodynamic instability were observed after several units of blood, plasma, and platelet transfusions.
Intravenous sites including the triple lumen port, arterial line, and peripheral lines had excessive bleeding. Areas around the mouth and membranous tissues were also bleeding. Arterial blood gas samples were obtained confirming metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypovolemia, severe blood loss, and dilution. Once the patient arrived at the surgical intensive care unit, cryoprecipitate was transfused and all bleeding sites were controlled with pressure until clotting was observed. He recovered in the SICU until he was hemodynamically stable.
Conclusion:
Identifying the presentation of ATC and making a collective effort in managing this secondary event is critical in prognostic outcome. In this particular case, the resulting presentation of ATC followed collective factors of iatrogenic origin and post-operative vascular complications.
Anesthesia providers must be vigilant in monitoring the patient for clinical symptoms such as excess bleeding from IV access sites, central venous lines, arterial lines, and delicate membranous tissues; follow ATC resuscitation with cryopercipitate, fresh frozen plasma, and platelet; maintain core temperatures; and evaluate arterial blood gas findings for volume overload, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis. Maintenance of hemodynamic stability following massive blood loss and management traumatic coagulopathy is key in preventing fatal outcomes.

Clinical Case Report

The following case report will address the local anesthetic toxicity considerations of a 63-year-old healthy female, undergoing a lengthy full mouth surgical case under general anesthesia.

In the case report, local anesthesia was administered during the procedure and a long lasting anesthetic (EXPAREL) intended to be given at the end of a lengthy (6 hour) surgical case. This report will review the following:

Local anesthetic overview:

Structure, potency, onset of action, duration of action, utilization of vasoconstrictors, maximum doses, etc.
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST)
- Avoidance of and treatment for

EXPAREL overview:

Summarize guidelines and give recommendations

When intravenous medications are indicated for patient care, the appropriate administration of those medications is necessary for safe and efficient outcomes. The anesthetic management of a patient continuously evolves as resources and data become more available.

Scientific evidence has rarely (if at all) been reported in the literature demonstrating analytical confirmation of the physical compatibility and stability of glycopyrrolate and rocuronium combined. The evaluation of the compatibility of glycopyrrolate with rocuronium is the subject of this research.

Glycopyrrolate and rocuronium were combined in various containers, observed over a 60-minute period, statistically analyzed, and compared against positive and negative controls to determine their physical compatibility. In the research environment through which the test protocol was performed, it was determined that glycopyrrolate and rocuronium are physically compatible.

Although no current information indicates inappropriateness of the coadministration of glycopyrrolate with rocuronium, additional testing (e.g., chemical and therapeutic compatibility testing) may be considered for improving completeness of data.

Dr. Jacobs’ educational and training qualifications include: Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy in 1974, Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) in 2003, Dental degree at the Iowa College of Dentistry and University of Iowa Hospitals Certificate of Residency in Anesthesiology in 1980.

Dr. Jacob’s education and training earned her the opportunity for various hospital appointments in the department of Anesthesiology including department chair. She received dual appointments in both the College of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology and the College of Dentistry at Oral Roberts University and was a principal anesthesia educator for medical and dental doctoral, post-doctoral students, and residents.

In 1990, the original charter of the Society included the name of Dr. Lois Jacobs. She was elected secretary/historian of the society at its initial meeting and served in that capacity for 3 years. In 1993, she participated in the first draft application for specialty recognition to the American Dental Association (ADA).

During this same time, she was individually defending her academic accomplishments and titles to exercise her constitutional right to advertise her credentials and training as a dentist anesthesiologist. The Oklahoma Board of Dentistry aided by the general counsel of the ADA attempted to revoke her license to practice. Dr. Jacobs’ success in that litigation defended the “right” for dentist anesthesiologists to so self-declare publicly. This early legal victory was an important milestone for dentist anesthesiologists. The success obtained in the Jacobs’ case foreshadowed by 25 years a similar victory affirmed by the 5th Circuit Federal Appeals Court (5th Circuit) styled: The American Academy of Implant Dentistry, ASDA, Jarom Heaton, DDS, MS et al. vs. The Texas Board of Dentistry, et al.

After forty-one years of continuous effort on the State and National levels, Dr. Jacobs completed her Oklahoma Board of Dentistry specialty application in December of 2021, receiving the second specialty license issued in Oklahoma.

Dr. Jacobs has maintained continuous membership in the Society since its inception, has been active at all meetings, and has actively participated to further the goals of the ASDA.
