Anesthetic management for open reduction and internal fixation of the mandibular fracture in a patient with congenital pulmonary hypoplasia: a case report.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCongenital pulmonary hypoplasia is an exceptionally rare developmental disorder that is usually diagnosed in neonates and seldom encountered in adult.Consequently, evidence-based perioperative strategies for adult CPH patients undergoing non-thoracic surgery remain virtually absent. We present a case of an adult with CPH who required general anesthesia for open reduction and internal fixation of the mandibular fracture, and we describe a comprehensive perioperative management plan centered on lung-protective ventilation strategy and multimodal analgesia. CASE PRESENTATION: This report presents the case of a 46-year-old man with incidentally diagnosed congenital left pulmonary hypoplasia who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of a mandibular fracture. After multidisciplinary evaluation of cardiopulmonary and airway status, surgery was performed under general anesthesia with lung-protective ventilation strategy, multimodal analgesia and restrictive fluid management. Postoperative treatment included intravenous dexmedetomidine-sufentanil continuous analgesia and vigilant respiratory monitoring. The patient was discharged on post-operative day 3 without pulmonary complications.An individualized post-discharge surveillance schedule was arranged that included evaluations at one week, one month, and three months, and no pulmonary complications or other adverse events were identified during the entire three-month follow-up period.At eighteen months after discharge the patient returned for review, chest CT and colour Doppler echocardiography demonstrated stable cardiopulmonary status with no signs of residual complications.
conclusionsThis case demonstrates that adults with asymptomatic CPH can safely undergo general anesthesia when a meticulous, multidisciplinary pathway is followed. Individualized lung-protective ventilation strategy, restrictive fluid management, and multimodal analgesia effectively averted intra-operative barotrauma, volutrauma and postoperative pulmonary complications.
