Aortic Dissection Versus Intramural Hematoma (IMH)

JUNE 12, 2024

Aortic dissection and intramural hematoma (IMH) are both acute aortic syndromes that can present similarly but have distinct pathophysiological differences and implications for management. The gold standard for diagnosis (and differentiating the two) is gated CT angiography to evaluate the aortic wall and lumen.

Pencil-point needles can also lead to greater post-traumatic inflammation, myelin damage, and intraneural hematoma. Larger-gauge needles should be used cautiously due to their association with increased tissue injury and hematoma formation. The specific type of block being performed determines the selection of needle length.

However, they involve technical complexity, potential for failed block, slower onset, and risks such as epidural hematoma or infection 3–5. Epidural anesthesia is versatile and used for a wide range of surgeries, including thoracic, abdominal, and lower limb procedures, but also for labor analgesia and postoperative pain control.

You drive to the hospital to find the patient has already had a stat MRI of his spine, and the diagnosis was a perispinal hematoma at L3. Neurosurgeons have taken him to the operating room to drain the hematoma and decompress the spinal column. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis.

Unlike classic aortic dissection , where an intimal tear leads to the creation of a false lumen, PAUs are localized disruptions that may result in localized hematoma, intramural hematoma (IMH), or progression to saccular aneurysm formation.

Apart from paralysis as a result of a spinal epidural hematoma, the procedure was a resounding success. Millerstein. Millerstein ducked, administered intramuscular ketamine to Dr. Annuloplasty, and a major crisis was averted. Whoever would’ve known you can’t give 30,000 units of heparin right after a spinal?

Other complications may include hematoma, injection site infection, and transient nerve injury. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) remains a rare but serious concern, requiring vigilance in adhering to recommended local anesthetic dosages and the use of lipid emulsion therapy as an antidote in the event of toxicity.

The patient is having difficulty breathing, the oxygen saturation is less than 80%, the blood pressure is elevated at 170/100, and there is a facial hematoma developing in the right cheek which is inhibiting the patient’s ability to breathe. Thirty minutes later, the anesthesiologist receives a cell phone call from the plastic surgeon.

The surgeon arrived and attempted to perform an emergency surgical airway, at which time the anesthesiologist successfully intubated the patient’s trachea as the hematoma was drained. Case 4: “Ventilation was difficult and the patient arrested. The patient was resuscitated but later died of anoxic brain damage.”

Hemorrhagic episodes (GI bleeding, epistaxis, hemorrhagic pericarditis, subdural hematoma) are significant sources of morbidity in patients with CKD and contribute to persistent anemia. The bleeding time is the screening test that best correlates with the tendency to bleed; neither BUN nor creatinine correlates well with bleeding risk.
