“…Algorithm suggests a strategy for managing nasal cyanoacrylate injuries man, removal under local anesthesia had to be abandoned because of pain. 10 The patient was then administered general anesthesia with local vasoconstriction, A B C and the cyanoacrylate bolus was mobilized and removed from the nose with minimal trauma to the mucosa. The patient was subsequently advised to douche the nose with saline and to continue using his nasal steroid medication.…”

Cyanoacrylate (“Superglue”) Injury to the Nasal Cavity: Case Report and a Proposed Management Algorithm

We report the case of a deliberate application of cyanoacrylate adhesive (commonly called "superglue") to the nose of a 9-year-old boy during a fi ght. The glue was successfully removed under general anesthesia without causing trauma to the nasal mucosa. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 other case of cyanoacrylate injury to the nasal cavity has been published in the literature. We also provide an algorithm to guide clinicians in the future management of this unusual circumstance.

This review article describes the use of fibrin glue or fibrin sealants and their development over the past 5 years, with a focus on cardiac surgery. The roles of various types of sealants that are available in hemostasis control are reviewed briefly, together with the various potential risks and side effects of their use. The results of experimental work reported during the last 5 years, clinical data from the same period and the safety aspects of fibrin-based glues and sealants are summarized, showing many advantages of their clinical application over the use of synthetic glues or sealants that may be stronger in some cases, but less safe. It can be concluded that the widespread use of fibrin sealants is fully justified, as it benefits the patient as well as the surgeon through the improved control of hemostasis without increasing any adverse effects or complications during surgical procedures.

“…Cynoacrylate glues are used topically for sutureless closure of skin wounds and as skin sealants, in ophthalmology, ENT, dentistry and orthopedics, and for obturation of bleeding or abnormal vessels such as varices, aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, hemangiomas, and arterio-venous malformations.

Bleeding from gastric varices (GV) continues to pose a challenge to the endoscopist and no consensus has been reached on the best way for treating these patients. Gastric variceal obturation (GVO) with the tissue adhesive, N-2-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBC), is considered the treatment of first-choice for this condition in most parts of the world. The liquid monomer polymerizes into a solid cast, obturating the vessel within 10-20 s of coming in contact with ionic solutions such as blood. Gastric variceal obturation achieves hemostasis in over 90% of patients with active bleeding, eradicates GV in over 80% of these patients, and re-bleeding occurs in 3-30%. These results are comparable with those of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS; over 90% hemostasis in acute bleeding with re-bleeding in 15-30%). Though, there has been no direct comparison with GVO, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration of GV (BRTO) achieves near 100% obliteration with recurrence in 0-10% and is superior to TIPS for hemostasis in active bleeding when used in combination with transcatheter sclerotherapy. Several complications have been described for GVO including thromboembolic complications which occur in 0.5-4.3% and may be devastating in some. Many of the complications and the variability in results of GVO can be attributed to variations in injection technique. The use of a standardized injection technique has been reported to achieve 100% hemostasis and obliteration with 6.9% re-bleeding and no embolic complications. Gastric variceal obturation with NBC continues to be the first-choice therapy for GV bleeding outside Japan. Adherence to a standard injection technique will maximize hemostasis and eradication of GV while minimizing complications of therapy.
