Performance and performative writing can play a key role in opening up an extralegal space for new representations of non-human species and Earth itself. This is apparent in two recent initiatives: the Rights of Nature tribunals and the Wild Law Judgment project. The Rights of Nature tribunals constitute an unconventional performative forum for recognition of non- mainstream representations of Earth and its communities. The Wild Law Judgment project has provided an important space for unsettling anthropocentric assumptions and expectations in the common law. In ‘dressing up’ as judges, as tribunal members and judgment rewriters, we perform law differently to achieve Earth-centred outcomes.
Open spine stabilization with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmentation procedures requires significant attention during anesthetic management due to the complication of PMMA embolization. This chapter presents a case study of a 54-year-old male with a T12 burst fracture presented for a second stage posterior instrumentation of T9-L4. It presents a case of hemodynamic instability due to embolization during surgery as well as its management. Myocardial ischemia, pulmonary embolism (PE) from deep venous thrombosis or PMMA, and anaphylactoid/anaphylaxis reaction were considered. This patient had osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. Cardiopulmonary presentation is either immediate or delayed and can be catastrophic. Consider a chest X-ray, echocardiogram, and computed tomography scan as diagnostic tools. If strongly symptomatic, consult cardiothoracic surgery for possible embolectomy.
