Twenty-five pediatric patients (10 males,15 females) with inherited epidermolysis bullosa,aged 3-16 yr,weighing 11-29 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,underwent lysis and reconstructive surgery of both hands adhesions from July 2015 to April 2017 in our hospital.Ketamine 4-6 mg/kg and atropine 0.01 mg/kg were intramuscularly injected at 20 min before admission to the operating room.Oxygen 2 L/min was inhaled by mask after admission to the operating room.Anesthesia was induced by Ⅳ injection of midazolam 0.08 mg/kg and ketamine 2 mg/kg.Pediatric patients kept spontaneous breathing.Anesthesia was maintained by Ⅳ infusion of propofol 5 mg · kg-1 · min-1 and remifentanil 0.05-0.08 μg · kg 1 · min-1.Mepitel was used to protect skin during surgery,and sodium potassium magnesium calcium and glucose injection was intravenously infused to replace the physiological requirement,blood loss and continued loss.Anesthesia time was (130±43) min,surgery time (107±42) min,the amount of intraoperative fluid infused (352± 120) ml,blood loss (29± 10) ml and emergence time (15±6) min.Intraoperative respiratory depression was found in 5 cases (20％);postoperative new bullae occured in 3 eases,and among the 3 cases,one developed on the back and the other two on the buttocks.No cardiovascular events occurred during and after surgery in this study.
