ReviewThe management of shock and local injury in traumatic rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis (literally "striped muscle dissolution") is a biological and clinical condition that takes to plasmatic release of myoglobin, muscle enzymes and electrolytes, relates to the lysis of stripped muscle fibers. Rhabdomyolysis presents the clinician with two distinct problems: local injury and the systemic effects directly related to that injury. Locally, muscle, vessel and nerve compression are the primary issues. ⋯ Therefore, the traumatic rhabdomyolysis has few diagnostically problems. On the other hand, their treatment is complex and must have a multidisciplinary approach. So the rhabdomyolysis actually remain a severe disease with high mortality caused principally by visceral lesions related to sepsis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Endotracheal tube cuff pressure. Monitoring during general anesthesia].
To value changes of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during anaesthesia with N2O, using standard tubes or Brandt-system tubes. ⋯ Brandt's double cuff-tubes (G2) succeed in avoiding uncontrolled increase of cuff-pressure during anaesthesia with N2O. Standard low-pressure tubes (G1) shown increase of cuff pressure during anaesthesia with N2O which is absent using no N2O (G3).
