Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in an infant with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease: case report
Revista Brasileira De Anestesiologia, 2010Co-Authors: Marco Antonio Cardoso De Resende, Elizabeth Vaz Da Silva, Osvaldo J. M. Nascimento, Alberto Esteves Gemal, Giseli Quintanilha, Eliana Maria VasconcelosAbstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Werdnig-Hoffmann disease is the most common cause of hypotonia in infants and its prognosis is worse if it is present shortly after delivery. Symmetrical muscular weakness, areflexia, and fasciculations of the tongue are characteristic. The majority of the infants die before two years of age as a consequence of respiratory failure. The present report presents a case in which total intravenous anesthesia was used. CASE REPORT: This is a 1 year old white female weighing 10 kg, physical status ASA III, with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease diagnosed at two months of age. The patient was a candidate for open gastrostomy, fundus gastroplication, and tracheostomy. After venoclysis, the patient was monitored with cardioscope, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximeter, Precordial Stethoscope, and rectal temperature. She was oxygenated and, after bolus administration of atropine (0.3 mg), boluses of remifentanil (20 µg) and propofol (30 mg) were administered for anesthetic induction. After tracheal intubation, she was ventilated with manual controlled system without CO2 absorber, Baraka (Mapleson D system), FGF of 4 L.min-1, and FiO2 0.5 (O2/N2O). Anesthesia was maintained with continuous manual infusion of propofol, 250 µg.kg-1.min-1, and remifentanil, 0.3 µg.kg-1.min-1. The surgery lasted 150 minutes. The patient regained consciousness 8 minutes after the end of the infusion, ventilating spontaneously. Two hours later, she was transferred to the pediatric unit, being discharged from the hospital on the fourth postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: The choice of anesthetic technique gives priority to the safety associated with the familiarity of handling available drugs. In children with neuromuscular diseases, due to the extremely short duration, total intravenous anesthesia with remifentanil and propofol in infusion systems can have a favorable influence on disease evolution.

Anestesia venosa total (AVT) em lactente com doença de Werdnig-Hoffmann: relato de caso Anestesia general intravenosa (AVT) en lactante con enfermedad de Werdnig-Hoffmann: relato de caso Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in an infant with Werdnig-H
Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2010Co-Authors: Marco Antonio Cardoso De Resende, Elizabeth Vaz Da Silva, Osvaldo J. M. Nascimento, Alberto Esteves Gemal, Giseli Quintanilha, Eliana Maria VasconcelosAbstract:JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A doença de Werdnig-Hoffmann é a causa mais comum de hipotonia no lactente e quando presente logo após o nascimento tem pior prognóstico. Fraqueza muscular simétrica, arreflexia e fasciculações da língua são característicos. A maioria dos lactentes morre antes dos dois anos por insuficiência respiratória. O presente relato apresenta um caso com técnica venosa total durante anestesia. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente feminina, branca, um ano, 10 kg, estado físico ASA III, com doença de Werdnig-Hoffmann diagnosticada desde os dois meses de idade. Candidata à gastrostomia e fundogastroplicatura na técnica aberta e traqueostomia. Monitorização com cardioscópio, pressão arterial não invasiva, oxímetro de pulso, estetoscópio Precordial e temperatura retal após venóclise. Foi préoxigenada e após bolus de atropina (0,3 mg) foi realizada indução anestésica com remifentanil bolus (20 µg) e propofol (30 mg). Após intubação traqueal foi ventilada de forma controlada manual, em sistema sem absorvedor de CO2, Baraka (sistema Mapleson D), FGF de 4 L.min-1, FiO2 0,5 (0(2)/N(2)0). Mantida sob anestesia com propofol 250 µg.kg-1.min-1 e remifentanil 0,3 µg.kg-1.min-1 em infusão contínua manual. O tempo cirúrgico foi de 150 minutos. O despertar ocorreu 8 minutos após o término da infusão, com ventilação espontânea. Duas horas depois foi transferida para unidade pediátrica e recebeu alta hospitalar no 4º dia de pós-operatório. CONCLUSÕES: A escolha da técnica anestésica prioriza a segurança que advém da familiaridade do manuseio dos fármacos existentes. Em crianças com doenças neuromusculares, a anestesia venosa total com remifentanil e propofol em sistemas de infusão, pela duração de ação extremamente curta, pode influenciar a evolução da doença favoravelmente.JUSTIFICATIVA Y OBJETIVOS: La enfermedad de Werdnig-Hoffmann es la causa más común de hipotonía en el lactante y cuando está presente después del nacimiento su pronóstico empeora. La debilidad muscular simétrica, la arreflexia y las fasciculaciones de la lengua son sus características. La mayoría de los lactantes fallece antes de los dos años por insuficiencia respiratoria. El presente relato presenta un caso con la técnica venosa total durante la anestesia.

Anesthesia in patient with Xeroderma Pigmentosum: case report.
Revista Brasileira De Anestesiologia, 2003Co-Authors: Carlos Rogério Degrandi Oliveira, Luciana Elias, Ana Cláudia De Melo Barros, Diogo Brüggemann Da ConceiçãoAbstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a rare, autosomal recessive disease characterized by the premature development of neoplasias due to an exacerbated hypersensitivity to UV radiation. These manifestations are due to DNA excision and repair mechanism damage. As compared to normal individuals, these patients have a 1000-fold increased risk for developing neoplasias on sun-exposed areas. This report aimed at describing the anesthetic management of a patient with Xeroderma Pigmentosum submitted to ophthalmologic surgery. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 7 years of age, with Xeroderma Pigmentosum and extensive facial involvement, submitted to right eye papillomatous lesion excision. Patient was premedicated with 10 mg oral midazolam. Initial monitoring consisted of cardioscope, pulse oximetry, Precordial Stethoscope and noninvasive blood pressure. Patient was preoxygenated with 100% oxygen for 3 minutes and inhalational anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane under mask in incremental concentrations up to 7%. Peripheral venous access was achieved with a 22G catheter followed by intravenous 50 mg propofol and 20 mg succinylcholine and tracheal intubation with a 5.5 mm uncuffed tracheal tube. A guide wire was used to help tracheal tube introduction. Anesthesia was maintained with 3,5% sevoflurane and 100% oxygen with Bain's Circuit. Patient was extubated in the operating room and was sent to the post-anesthetic care unit in good conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Facial and oropharyngeal changes caused by this pathology have imposed many difficulties for facial mask adaptation and tracheal intubation. Patient and relatives continuous education are the most important Xeroderma Pigmentosum management objective.

Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2003Co-Authors: Oliveira, Carlos Rogério Degrandi, Elias Luciana, Barros, Ana Cláudia De Melo, Diogo Brüggemann Da ConceiçãoAbstract:JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O Xeroderma Pigmentoso é uma doença autossômica recessiva rara, caracterizada pelo desenvolvimento prematuro de neoplasias devido à extrema sensibilidade à radiação ultravioleta. Estas manifestações ocorrem por falha no mecanismo de excisão e reparo do DNA. Se comparados a indivíduos normais, estes pacientes apresentam risco 1000 vezes maior de desenvolver neoplasias em áreas expostas ao sol. O objetivo deste relato é apresentar a conduta anestésica em uma paciente portadora de Xeroderma Pigmentoso submetida à cirurgia oftalmológica. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 7 anos, portadora de Xeroderma Pigmentoso com comprometimento facial extenso, admitida para exérese de lesão papilar no olho direito. Foi prescrito midazolam (10 mg) por via oral, como medicação pré-anestésica. A monitorização inicial consistiu de cardioscópio, oxímetro de pulso, estetoscópio Precordial e pressão arterial não invasiva. Foi realizada pré-oxigenação com oxigênio a 100% por 3 minutos e indução inalatória sob máscara com oxigênio a 100% e sevoflurano em concentrações crescentes até 7%. Após acesso venoso periférico com cateter 22G, foram injetados propofol (50 mg) e succinilcolina (20 mg) e realizada intubação traqueal com tubo 5,5 mm sem balonete. Um guia de metal foi utilizado para facilitar a introdução do tubo traqueal. A manutenção da anestesia foi feita com sevoflurano a 3,5% e oxigênio a 100%, com sistema de Bain. A criança foi extubada na sala cirúrgica e encaminhada à sala de recuperação pós-anestésica em boas condições. CONCLUSÕES: As alterações faciais e orofaríngeas decorrentes desta doença determinaram dificuldades na adaptação da máscara facial e intubação traqueal. A educação constante do paciente e de seus familiares constitui o objetivo mais importante no manuseio desta doença.BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a rare, autosomal recessive disease characterized by the premature development of neoplasias due to an exacerbated hypersensitivity to UV radiation.

En los niños con enfermedades neuromusculares, la anestesia general intravenosa con remifentanil y propofol en sistemas de infusión, por la duración de la acción extremadamente corta, puede influir en la evolución de la enfermedad favorablemente.BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Werdnig-Hoffmann disease is the most common cause of hypotonia in infants and its prognosis is worse if it is present shortly after delivery. Symmetrical muscular weakness, areflexia, and fasciculations of the tongue are characteristic. The majority of the infants die before two years of age as a consequence of respiratory failure. The present report presents a case in which total intravenous anesthesia was used. CASE REPORT: This is a 1 year old white female weighing 10 kg, physical status ASA III, with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease diagnosed at two months of age. The patient was a candidate for open gastrostomy, fundus gastroplication, and tracheostomy. After venoclysis, the patient was monitored with cardioscope, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximeter, Precordial Stethoscope, and rectal temperature. She was oxygenated and, after bolus administration of atropine (0.3 mg), boluses of remifentanil (20 µg) and propofol (30 mg) were administered for anesthetic induction. After tracheal intubation, she was ventilated with manual controlled system without CO2 absorber, Baraka (Mapleson D system), FGF of 4 L.min-1, and FiO2 0.5 (O2/N2O). Anesthesia was maintained with continuous manual infusion of propofol, 250 µg.kg-1.min-1, and remifentanil, 0.3 µg.kg-1.min-1. The surgery lasted 150 minutes. The patient regained consciousness 8 minutes after the end of the infusion, ventilating spontaneously. Two hours later, she was transferred to the pediatric unit, being discharged from the hospital on the fourth postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: The choice of anesthetic technique gives priority to the safety associated with the familiarity of handling available drugs. In children with neuromuscular diseases, due to the extremely short duration, total intravenous anesthesia with remifentanil and propofol in infusion systems can have a favorable influence on disease evolution

Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2010Co-Authors: Marco Antonio Cardoso De Resende, Elizabeth Vaz Da Silva, Osvaldo J. M. Nascimento, Alberto Esteves Gemal, Giseli Quintanilha, Eliana Maria VasconcelosAbstract:JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A doença de Werdnig-Hoffmann é a causa mais comum de hipotonia no lactente e quando presente logo após o nascimento tem pior prognóstico. Fraqueza muscular simétrica, arreflexia e fasciculações da língua são característicos. A maioria dos lactentes morre antes dos dois anos por insuficiência respiratória. O presente relato apresenta um caso com técnica venosa total durante anestesia. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente feminina, branca, um ano, 10 kg, estado físico ASA III, com doença de Werdnig-Hoffmann diagnosticada desde os dois meses de idade. Candidata à gastrostomia e fundogastroplicatura na técnica aberta e traqueostomia. Monitorização com cardioscópio, pressão arterial não invasiva, oxímetro de pulso, estetoscópio Precordial e temperatura retal após venóclise. Foi préoxigenada e após bolus de atropina (0,3 mg) foi realizada indução anestésica com remifentanil bolus (20 µg) e propofol (30 mg). Após intubação traqueal foi ventilada de forma controlada manual, em sistema sem absorvedor de CO2, Baraka (sistema Mapleson D), FGF de 4 L.min-1, FiO2 0,5 (0(2)/N(2)0). Mantida sob anestesia com propofol 250 µg.kg-1.min-1 e remifentanil 0,3 µg.kg-1.min-1 em infusão contínua manual. O tempo cirúrgico foi de 150 minutos.
