Case Reports[Patient treated with sub-mental intubation for maxillofacial trauma].
Maxillo-facial traumas are frequent and most often occur in young patients. Naso-tracheal or orotracheal intubation may be contraindicated in case of combined occlusal fracture and nasal or ethmoido-nasal fracture. ⋯ Submental intubation is a reliable single and safe technique allowing an one-stage surgical treatment in case of complex association of fractures without using tracheotomy. Its use should be implemented on a larger scale.

Review Meta Analysis[Efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid administration for the prevention and/or the treatment of post-partum haemorrhage: A systematic review with meta-analysis].
Assess the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid administration for the prevention and/or the treatment of postpartum haemorrhage. ⋯ Although tranexamic acid administration seemed to significantly reduce blood loss and the incidence of severe post-partum haemorrhage, further prospective trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of tranexamic administration in the treatment of postpartum haemorrhage. Those studies should assess the pharmacokinetic profile and the safety of this drug in pregnant women.

Case Reports[Rocuronium and sugammadex use for the management of neuromuscular blockade in urgent abdominal surgery in a patient with Landouzy-Dejerine myopathy.]
In patients with neuromuscular diseases, the use of rocuronium in the general anesthesia rapid sequence induction provides safety intubation conditions, but induces a deep and prolonged neuromuscular blockade. We report dose reduction to 0.8mg/kg for a 47-year-old female with Landouzy-Dejerine myopathy. Therefore, less dose of sugammadex was given to reverse the neuromuscular block.
