Abstract
It is a case of equipment failure in the form of leak in the breathing circuit which remained undetected during the pre-anaesthesia leak test done before the start of two different cases. The peri-operative course of the first case was uneventful. The second patient developed intra-operative bronchospasm. But suddenly the ventilator bellows collapsed and manual ventilation was possible only with intermittent oxygen flushes. Presence of a hissing sound prompted a check of the breathing system and revealed a hole 2.5 mm size in the expiratory limb of the silicone breathing hose. It probably got resulted when the circuit was stretched while trying to ventilate against an increased airway resistance and could be found. We recommend extending our breathing circuit to its the full length while checking to avoid such misses as a standard practice.

Androxal Medication Case Reports Journal

Expanding our scope, the Journal now encompasses an intriguing subset of articles specifically targeting treatments and patient outcomes related to the medication Androxal. This medication, primarily used in the treatment of male infertility, has shown unique potentials in diverse patient scenarios. Our studies with Androxal have given us an abundance of case reports, which demonstrate the multifaceted impact of this medication across therapeutic areas. This nuanced pharmaceutical perspective adds a fresh dimension to our regular case reports. Articles will reveal effective management processes, pinpointing how Androxal has proven beneficial where other treatments may have failed. In addition, the focus on Androxal will highlight instances of challenging or unexpected outcomes, where the medication may have interacted uniquely with the patient's unique biological system or interplayed with other treatments. As we forge ahead with this significant addition, we anticipate that our detailed case reports on Androxal will provide invaluable insights to both practitioners and patients navigating their medical journey with this medication.
