RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

A sedação é um passo importante para aliviar e prevenir a recorrência de cianose no manejo de pacientes com crises hipercianóticas associadas à tetralogia de Fallot (T4F). Este relato de caso ilustra a eficácia da sedação induzida por dexmedetomidina no manejo de crises hipercianóticas em um recém-nascido com T4F. DESCRIÇÃO Um paciente recém-nascido a termo de 8 dias de idade com T4F apresentava crises hipercianóticas, indicadas por quedas abruptas no nível de saturação arterial (SpO2), medido por um oxímetro de pulso, de 80 por cento até 50 por cento, quando o paciente ficava agitado ou irritável. Nós começamos a infusão contínua de dexmedetomidina em uma dosagem de 0,2 µg/kg/min sem injeção de ataque em bolus. Cerca de meia hora depois do início da infusão de dexmedetomidina, o paciente atingiu um nível aceitável de sedação, e sua freqüência cardíaca diminuiu aproximadamente 20 batidas por minuto. Não houve nenhuma depressão respiratória aparente ou mudança acentuada em sua pressão arterial. A SpO2 também continuou estável durante a infusão de dexmedetomidina. No dia seguinte à sua hospitalização, o paciente passou com sucesso por uma operação de anastomose de Blalock-Taussig.

COMENTÁRIOS:

A dexmedetomidina pode ser útil no manejo de crises hipercianóticas em pacientes pediátricos com T4F.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Sedation is an important step in the management of patients with hypercyanotic spells associated with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) to ameliorate and prevent recurrence of cyanosis. This case report illustrates the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine-induced sedation in the management of hypercyanotic spells in a neonate with TOF. DESCRIPTION An 8-day-old term newborn patient with TOF showed hypercyanotic spells, as indicated by an abrupt decrease in arterial saturation (SpO2) level measured by a pulse oximeter from 80 percent to as low as 50 percent, when the patient became irritable and agitated. We started continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.2 µg/kg/min without a loading bolus injection. About half an hour after commencement of dexmedetomidine infusion, the patient reached an acceptable level of sedation, together with a drop in heart rate by approximately 20 beats/min. There was no apparent respiratory depression or marked change in blood pressure. SpO2 was also stable during dexmedetomidine infusion. The patient underwent a successful Blalock-Taussig shunt operation on the next day of admission.

COMMENTS:

Dexmedetomidine may be useful for the management of hypercyanotic spells in pediatric patients with TOF.
