There is no single way to provide anesthetic care to the patient with Down syndrome as the disorder affects multiple

Skin flaps are commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to repair defects resulting from trauma, congenital anomalies, or after tumor resection. Partial necrosis of the flap can be encountered postoperatively as a result of inadequate blood supply (Lu et al., 2008). Subsequent management of flap necrosis usually includes time-consuming and repetitive dressing changes aimed at promoting secondary intention healing or even secondary reconstructive procedures (Lubiatowski et al., 2002).

When diagnosing a TFCC injury, it is very important to get information of all past injuries this patient has had. Without proper knowledge, it is possible to miss-diagnose TFCC. The most prominent symptom of a TFCC tear is wrist pain so it can rather vague. To help with this vagueness, they do have tests that you can run to evaluate the TFCC. To test the stability of the distal radio-ulna joint (DRUJ), they can perform the Piano-key sign and ulnocarpal ballottement test. They also have the Ulnocarpal

this case, Ajay after roused, reported of feeling cold dry mouth, cried and complained of pain, which shows that he was awake. Whereas, level of consciousness vary with depths and time as it depend on many factors such as anaesthetics, duration of surgery and patient’s pain stimulation (Sinclair & Faleiro, 2006). As stated above, opioid is known as respiratory suppressants and it produce analgesia via receptors. Those are two factors that affect on consciousness level. Additionally, Sinclair & Faleiro

Patients bring their own host of risk factors into the situation. Age, obesity, malnutrition, smoking, peripheral vascular disease, and steroid use being the most common risks seen in the operative arena. The risk of SSI increase with factors that suppress the ability of the immune response (for example
