Neuroaxial anesthesia in a patient with progressive systemic sclerosis : case presentation and review of the literature on systemic sclerosis

Background

Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a progressive disease characterized by excessive accumulation of connective tissue components. Although most patients have long survival, some of them progress rapidly to death. Pulmonary system involvement and pulmonary hypertension are the most frequent cause of death. When the patient with SSc is to be operated, the anesthetic procedure could be a serious problem. In this article, we report a combined spinal – epidural technique in a patient with progressive SSc and the anesthetic considerations that could be recommended for these patients.

Case presentation

A 68-year-old woman who had a history of progressive systemic sclerosis, pulmonary fibrosis, kyphoscoliosis and decreased oral apertura underwent total hip arthroplasty. This operation was performed successfully under combined spinal epidural anesthesia.

Conclusion

Systemic sclerosis is a complex disease that involves multiple organ systems. Every aspects of anesthetic care may be altered or hindered by the pathogenesis of disease. Although the choice of regional or general anesthesia is unclear, to choose combined spinal epidural anesthesia may be useful.     

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus after face lift: a study of incidence and prophylaxis

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus are known risks of surgery. However, the incidence of these conditions in face lift is unknown. In this study, the incidence of deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus after face lift is studied and factors associated with thromboembolic complications are evaluated. One-third of the active members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery were randomly selected. Participating surgeons completed a one-page survey providing information on face-lift procedures during a 12-month study period. A response rate of 80 percent was achieved, with 273 of the 342 surgeons responding to the survey. A total of 9937 face-lift procedures were reported in the 1-year study period. There were 35 patients with deep venous thrombosis (0.35 percent), 14 patients with pulmonary embolus (0.14 percent), and 1 patient death in the series. Although 43.5 percent of patients underwent face lift under general anesthesia, 83.7 percent of deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus events occurred with general anesthesia. For prophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus, 19.7 percent of the surgeons used intermittent compression devices, 19.6 percent used thromboembolic disease hose or Ace wraps, and 60.7 percent used no prophylaxis. Of patients developing deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus, 4.1 percent were treated prophylactically with intermittent compression devices, 36.7 percent with thromboembolic disease hose/Ace wraps, and 59.2 percent with no prophylaxis. It was found that deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus after face lift is a measurable complication experienced by one of nine surgeons surveyed. Deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus is more likely to occur when the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The majority of plastic surgeons surveyed used no prophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis when performing face-lift procedures. Intermittent compression devices were associated with significantly fewer thromboembolic complications, whereas Ace wrap/thromboembolic disease hose afforded no protection against deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus when used alone. In conclusion, aesthetic surgeons should consider adopting intermittent compression devices when performing face lift under general anesthesia.     

不同麻醉方式对老年冠心病患者围术期血流动力学及ECG的影响

目的：探讨对择期腹部手术的老年冠心病患者心脏血流动力学及心脏电活动影响较小的麻醉方式。方法：133例择期腹腔手术的老年冠心病患者随机分为硬膜外麻醉组（EA）,全麻组（GA）和腰-硬联合麻醉组（CSEA）。术中连续监测,分时段记录平均动脉压（MAP）、心率（HR）、血氧饱和度（SaO2）及异常心电图,比较3组组间及组内差异。结果：麻醉后15 min和麻醉后30 min,GA组的SaO2明显高于EA组（P〈0.05）。麻醉后15min、30 min和60 min CSEA组MAP值比EA组明显升高（P〈0.05）;麻醉后30 min,CSEA组的HR比EA组明显升高（P〈0.05）;麻醉后15 min和30 min,CSEA组的SaO2比EA组明显升高（P〈0.05）。组内比较,EA组麻醉后15min、30 min、60 min,MAP、HR、SaO2三个指标均比麻醉前明显降低（P〈0.05）,GA组和CSEA组前后比较差异不明显（P〉0.05）。异常ECG,组间比较,GA组和CSEA组ST-T改变发生率在麻醉后15 min、30 min、60 min、术毕时均明显低于EA组（P〈0.05,P〈0.01）,GA组和CSEA组心律失常发生率在麻醉后15 min、30 min、60 min均明显低于EA组（P〈0.05,P〈0.01）;组内比较,GA组和CSEA组的ST-T改变和心律失常发生率在麻醉后15 min、30min、60 min、术毕时均明显低于麻醉前（P〈0.05,P〈0.01）。结论：老年冠心病患者腹腔手术时全麻和腰-硬联合麻醉术中血流动力学较稳定,心电异常发生率较小。

100 telephone conversations about malignant hyperthermia

Background

Paraplegia associated with epidural anesthesia or caused by intramedullary spinal tuberculoma is rare but catastrophic. We present a case of paraplegia following epidural anesthesia in a patient with an undiagnosed intramedullary spinal tuberculoma.

Case presentation

A 42-year-old man developed paraplegia after an open cholecystectomy under epidural anesthesia. Spinal cord infarction, acute transverse myelitis, and intramedullary neoplasms were ruled out by histopathologic examination, and intramedullary spinal tuberculoma at the T₆–T₇ level was identified. Despite surgical treatment and subsequent antituberculous therapy, the patient retained some disability attributable to the delay in diagnosis.

Conclusion

Physicians should be aware of coexisting disease as a cause of paraplegia following procedures using epidural anesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive diagnostic test, although it is still difficult to differentiate spinal cord infarction, myelitis, intramedullary spinal tuberculoma, and neoplasms from imaging features alone.

     

Renal effects of general anesthesia from old to recent studies

Various types of anesthesia are being utilized to maintain physiologically secured surgical conditions. Nearly all categories of general anesthesia are characterized by various perioperative and postoperative complications. These shortcomings are important aspects that need to be considered by the anesthesiologist and surgeon before administration of these compounds. The renal effects of anesthesia play an important role in understanding possible systemic changes due to the fact that the kidney has a direct or indirect impact on nearly all the systems of the body. Various studies have been conducted to find out changes in renal parameters and its systemic effects upon administration of the anesthesia and its postoperative repercussions. Besides that, the impaired renal function might have an impact on the excretion of anesthetic metabolites, which can lead to long-term dysfunction. Patients with a previous history of disease ought to be brought under consideration because these chemicals can ameliorate pre-existent symptoms. This review is intended to discuss the early and latest studies based on the effects of general anesthesia on the renal system.

Non-invasive echocardiographic studies in mice: influence of anesthetic regimen.

Transgenic murine models of cardiovascular disease offer great potential insights regarding mechanisms of human disease, but efficient and reliable methods for phenotype evaluation are necessary. We employed non-invasive echocardiography to evaluate hemodynamic parameters in mice, and evaluated statistical reliability of these parameters with respect to anesthesia regimen. Male CF-1 mice received inhaled halothane (0.25-0.75% in 95% O2) or ketamine/xylazine (80/10 mg/kg i.p.) and 2-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler ultrasound imaging were used to assess cardiac contractility and aortic flow velocities. Halothane was more convenient and reliable with respect to rate of induction, reversal, and control of anesthetic depth. At comparable levels of anesthesia, ketamine/xylazine produced significant reductions in heart rate (308 +/- 14 vs. 501 +/- 14 bpm, p<0.001), left ventricular fractional shortening (41.7 +/- 1.3 vs. 49.3 +/- 1.0%, p<0.001), and cardiac output (7.6 +/- 0.5 vs. 11.5 +/- 0.6 ml/min, p<0.001) when compared to halothane inhalation. No change in stroke volume or peak aortic velocity was observed. Correlation analyses revealed highly significant positive relationships between heart rate and fractional shortening (r=0.61, p<0.002) and cardiac output (r=0.88, p<0.001) but no relation to stroke volume or aortic velocity. Variability of intra-animal and intragroup parameter estimation were frequently 2-fold larger for ketamine/xylazine anesthesia vs. halothane. Statistical power analysis showed the increased measurement error for ketamine/xylazine leads to much larger numbers of mice/group to achieve identical statistical sensitivity. These data further illustrate the feasibility of echocardiography for rapid, non-invasive cardiovascular assessment in mice. However, several obtainable parameters are highly sensitive to both heart rate and anesthetic used and the choice and control of anesthetic are critical for physiologically relevant performance parameters and maximal ability to detect statistical differences among groups. Thus, for these non-invasive studies, inhalation anesthesia with agents such as halothane is superior to anesthesia induced by ketamine/xylazine administration.

NEWER METHODS FOR SELECTION OF PATIENTS FOR LUMBAR SYMPATHECTOMY

The degree of vasodilatation achieved by various diagnostic methods (arterial occlusion, ganglionic block established by certain agents, lumbar sympathetic block, spinal anesthesia, and indirect heating) was studied by means of the pneumo-plethysmogram as well as through readings of skin temperature and skin resistance. The data obtained were interpreted as to their value in determining the type of patient with vascular disease for whom lumbar sympathectomy would be of noticeable benefit. Arterial occlusion proved itself a rapid and simple method which in most patients produced satisfactory results. As a rule, lumbar sympathectomy was effective in patients who preoperatively had shown a positive response upon release of arterial occlusion. A negative response, that is, absence of significant increase in blood flow, does not necessarily indicate organic disease, and cannot be taken to mean that lumbar sympathectomy would always be ineffective. Ganglionic block, using 2.6 dimethyl piperidinium bromide or tetraethylammonium ion, was generally less reliable in indicating the probable results of sympathectomy than lumbar sympathetic block or indirect heating. Lumbar sympathetic block with procaine was followed by a greater increase in skin temperature and blood flow than spinal anesthesia, and permitted far more accurate conclusions as to the probable outcome of sympathectomy. Subsequent to indirect heating the plethysmogram showed characteristic differences depending on the degree of vascular disease present. From the effect of this simple, safe and painless method upon the relative blood flow to the toe it becomes possible to arrive at a comparatively accurate estimate of the clinical benefit to be expected from lumbar sympathectomy.     

A life-threatening multilocalized hidradenitis suppurativa case

The patient was a 38-year-old man. He had been suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) for approximately 20 years. He had active lesions at both axillas, hip, scrotum, and perineum, and inactive lesions located behind the ears, lower abdomen, and posterior neck. He was monitored and treated at different branches; he continuously used antibiotics and was given steroids at times. Antibiotic resistance developed subsequently. His general situation was bad; vital signs were poor; and he was in a state of sepsis and preshock, so this case was regarded as life-threatening. Total excision was performed first on the lesion at the right axilla, then on the lesion at the left axilla, and the parascapular fasciocutaneous flap was reversed. A skin graft was applied to the triangular defect on the scapula. No relapse occurred. Then the lesions at the hip were managed. Broad excision was used twice with the patient under general anesthesia; because the lesions spread to the retrococcygeal and gluteal muscles, coccyx resection and partial gluteal muscle resection were implemented. The defect was eliminated with a progressive flap. At the intergluteal sulcus, small lesions emerging at the median line were debrided with the patient under local anesthesia, and together with secondary recovery, the disease was completely managed. Lesions at the perineum and scrotum and at both inguinal areas were broadly excised and grafted. No lesion has relapsed so far. One year later, Hodgkin's lymphoma was diagnosed, and the patient was treated with chemoradiotherapy easily, because there was no infective focus. The disease is in remission now. The patient weighs 110 kg, is healthy, and is working again.     

不同麻醉方式处理休克病人的46 例临床研究

目的：观察并分析对休克病人实施不同的麻醉处理方式的临床效果。方法：选取2012 年2 月至2013 年2 月我院收治的临 床休克患者46 例，选择性的实施不同的麻醉方式进行处理。比较患者麻醉前后各项监测指标的变化情况。结果：实施麻醉术后， 有43 例患者表现为正常；2 例因大出血抢救无效而死亡；1 例因多器官功能发生衰竭而死亡；术中未发生因麻醉不当而导致的患 者死亡。术后生命体征正常的患者明显高于死亡的患者，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。患者手术之后各项指标显著优于手术前，差 异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。结论：对临床休克病人采取合适的麻醉方式，可以有效的辅助手术顺利进行，提高手术的成功率和患 者的存活率，值得临床推广。     

Appendectomy in rabbits with extended unilateral anesthesia.

Thoracic paravertebral anesthesia was not believed to accompany numbness in the lumbar nerve region. However, we recently discovered that thoracic paravertebral anesthesia could produce analgesia in the lumbar region. We called this block extended unilateral anesthesia. In this study, appendectomy was attempted in rabbits with extended unilateral anesthesia. After a catheter was inserted into the endothoracic fascia in the paravertebral region on the right side at the level of the 11th thoracic vertebra, a 3-ml dose of 2% mepivacaine was injected repeatedly through the catheter. After an injection of the local anesthetic we could observe motor and sensory paralysis unilaterally from the chest down to the lower limb in all the rabbits, the extended unilateral anesthesia. With this anesthesia, we could accomplish appendectomy. This is the initial report of extended unilateral anesthesia applied to appendectomy in rabbits. We think that this anesthesia could be beneficial in future medical and veterinary use.
