CASE REPORTS - Respiratory Failure After Pneumonectomy in a Patient with Unknown Hyperlipidemia - IMPLICATIONS: We report the case of a patient who had increased lipids in his blood and who complained of dyspnea the first postoperative day after resection of his left lung. As the blood lipids were decreased, his respiration was improved. We conclude that when respiration deteriorates postoperatively, increased blood lipids should be considered as a cause./

CASE REPORTS - The Inability to Detect Expired Carbon Dioxide After Endotracheal Intubation as a Result of One Way Valve Obstruction of the Endotracheal Tube - IMPLICATIONS: Failure to tracheally intubate and ventilate the lungs is a major cause of anesthesia morbidity. Expired carbon dioxide monitoring has become a standard for assessing correct endotracheal tube placement. We present a case of failure to detect expired carbon dioxide after successful intubation resulting from a one-way valve obstruction of the endotracheal tube./
