Case Reports[General anaesthesia for Caesarean section in a patient with pulmonary atresia and an intact intraventricular septum].
We report the case of a 22-year-old primigravida patient presenting pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, a rare congenital heart disease. Caesarean delivery was performed at 32 weeks of gestation because of moderate maternal function deterioration and foetal growth restriction. General anaesthesia was used because of the presence of lumbar Harrington rods. The administration of etomidate, celocurine and a continuous perfusion of remifentanil right from induction ensured haemodynamic stability and a rapid emergence and recovery.

Case Reports[Peroperative desaturation during gynaecological laparoscopy-hysteroscopy: an unknown aetiology, pleural extravasation].
A 41-year-old patient presented several episodes of desaturation during a gynaecological laparoscopy. The major complication of this procedure is the venous air embolism. ⋯ This fact can probably explain the frequent difficulty of diagnosis. The role of the diaphragmatic lymphatic network and other physiologic aspects are discussed in this article.
