ABSTRACT

Varón de 22 años ingresa para ser operado de urgencia con un diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda. Para la intubación y posterior mantenimiento de la anestesia se usó anectine y sevoflurano respectivamente. A los pocos minutos se observa un aumento del CO2 exhalado, taquicardia e hipotensión. En el postoperatorio inmediato como parátmetros relevantes destacaron valores mayores de 50.000 de CPK y una actividad de protombina de 50%. La hipertermia maligna sigue siendo uno de los mayores temores para el anestesiólogo y a veces es difícil de diagnosticar por presentar cuadros parciales, en pacientes con anestesias previas sin complicaciones. Un diagnóstico rápido y la instauración precoz del tratamiento siguen siendo la manera más eficaz de yugular el cuadro y evitar su progresión fatal (AU)


A 22-years old man underwent surgery due to an acute apendicitis. Anectine and sevoflurane were used to intubate him and to keep the anesthesia at a correct level. However, after a few minutes of anesthesia, there was a surprising exhaled cargon dioxide increase, tachycardia and hypotension. However, in the following hours in the observation room, CPK levels increased over 50,000 and prothrombine activity turned around 50%. Nowadays, malignant hyperthermia is one of the main worries and it is sometimes hard to be diagnosed due to incomplete medical profiles in previous anaesthesias without troubles. In summary, the best way to avoid a tragic evolution is to diagnose a malignant hyperthermia case as soon as possible and to implement immediate treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To communicate our experience implanting ventricular assist devices; we report the incidence of refractory heart failure after extracorporeal circulatory support and discuss clinical course after support. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Retrospective study of 14 cases of ventricular assistance required when refractory heart failure developed after extracorporeal circulation. The patients were 10 males and 4 females aged between 12 and 70 years. Four underwent coronary revascularization, 2 required valve replacement, and 8 received heart transplants. Two left, 2 right and 6 bilateral ventricular assist devices were implanted. RESULTS: The incidence of refractory heart failure after extracorporeal mechanical circulation requiring ventricular assist devices among our patients was 0.48%, with left ventricular failure occurring in 21.42%, right ventricular failure in 42.85% and biventricular failure in 35.71%. The main complications were infection, renal insufficiency, coagulation disorder, hemorrhage with repeated surgery. One patient received a second transplant. The device was successfully withdrawn from 35.7% of the patients. Survival upon discharge was 7.1%. CONCLUSION: Refractory heart failure after extracorporeal circulation is a life-threatening event requiring rapid response and resolution. The decision to implant a ventricular assist device is a difficult one, requiring immediate assessment of the causes of heart failure, its reversibility and the possibility of performing a heart transplant. The study of large series of patients experiencing this event and implanted with ventricular assist devices would facilitate decision making.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS. Exponer nuestros resultados y la incidencia de insuficiencia cardíaca refractaria tras circulación extracorpórea y su evolución con la implantación de dispositivos de asistencia ventricular.PACIENTES Y MÉTODO. Estudio retrospectivo de 14 casos de asistencia ventricular por desarrollo de insuficiencia cardíaca refractaria tras circulación extracorpórea, de los cuales 10 eran varones y 4 mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 70 años. Fueron intervenidos de cirugía de revascularización coronaria en 4 casos, recambio valvular en 2 casos y trasplante cardíaco en 8 casos. Se implantaron dos asistencias de ventrículo izquierdo, seis de ventrículo derecho y seis biventriculares.RESULTADOS. La incidencia de insuficiencia cardíaca refractaria tras circulación extracorpórea con necesidad de implantación de dispositivos de asistencia ventricular fue de un 0,48 por ciento, con fallo de ventrículo izquierdo en un 21,42 por ciento, de ventrículo derecho en un 42,85 por ciento y biventricular en un 35,71 por ciento. Las complicaciones principales fueron infección, insuficiencia renal, coma, coagulopatía y hemorragia con reintervención quirúrgica. En un paciente se efectuó un retrasplante. El dispositivo fue retirado con éxito en el 35,7 por ciento de casos. La supervivencia en el momento del alta hospitalaria fue de un 7,1 por ciento.CONCLUSIÓN. La insuficiencia cardíaca refractaria tras circulación extracorpórea es un cuadro de riesgo vital que requiere decisiones rápidas para su adecuada resolución. La implantación de un dispositivo de asistencia ventricular es una decisión difícil, que requiere una valoración inmediata de las causas del fallo cardíaco, su reversibilidad y la posibilidad de realizar un trasplante cardíaco. El conocimiento de amplias series de pacientes con este tipo de proceso patológico y estos dispositivos implantados nos ayudará a tomar esta difícil decisión (AU)

ABSTRACT

This study reports two cases of urgent hepatic retransplantation due to graft failure developing 37 and 10 days after the first transplant in which intraoperative continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration (CAH) was performed. They were female patients aged 33 and 58 years respectively who presented oliguric renal insufficiency before surgery (plasmatic creatinine 2.6 and 2.8 mg/dl and urea 77 and 278 mg/dl) and severe electrolytic imbalance (sodium 128 and 135 mmol/l; potassium 8.5 and 3.8 mmol/l; bicarbonate 8.8 and 12.7 mmol/l; pH 7.18 and 7.16). In both cases CAH was used from the beginning of anesthetic induction (Hemofilter Biospal SCU/CAHH- Kit A2-U with reversed infusion of glucose Dianeal 1.5%). An intraoperative ultrafiltered volume of 2200 and 2400 ml was respectively obtained in each patient. The use of intraoperative CAH favoured the correction of the electrolyte imbalance, contributed to maintain the hemodynamic stability, and rendered the administration of fluids more appropriate during the surgical process.
