ABSTRACT
The triad of bronchial asthma, nasal polyposis, and intolerance to aspirin and aspirin-like chemicals are designated aspirin-induced asthma (AIA) or Samter's syndrome. The exact mechanism of the disease is unknown but it is thought to be a disorder of arachidonic acid metabolism. These patients are frequently referred to allergy clinics for preoperative evaluation for possible anesthetic agent sensitivity, requiring anesthesia for nasal polypectomy or several other reasons. Anesthetists must be aware of their pulmonary dysfunction, because the anesthetic management of asthma requires a specific approach. Marked cross-sensitivity with NSAIDs, which may also precipitate severe bronchospasm and adverse reactions, is the main problem faced by anesthetists in postoperative pain management. This article discusses the relationship between AIA and anesthesia. We also present our experience with 47 patients diagnosed with AIA between 1991 and 2003 in the department of chest diseases and adult allergy unit who underwent surgery requiring general anesthesia. In conclusion, preoperative evaluation of these patients and collaboration between the allergists and anesth (AU)
RESUMEN
La tríada asma bronquial, poliposis nasal e intolerancia a la aspirina y fármacos análogos se designa como asma inducida por aspirina (AIA) o síndrome de Samter. Se desconoce el mecanismo exacto de la enfermedad, pero se sugiere que es un trastorno del metabolismo del ácido araquidónico.Este grupo de pacientes suelen remitirse a clínicas de alergología para someterse a un examen preoperatorio que determine posibles sensibilidades a agentes anestésicos. Estos pacientes se someten a anestesia en la polipectomía nasal o por otros motivos.Los anestesistas deben ser conscientes de su disfunción pulmonar, ya que el control anestésico en el asma requiere un enfoque específico.El principal problema al que se enfrentan los anestesistas en el control postoperatorio del dolor es una marcada sensibilidad cruzada a los fármacos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE), que además puede provocar broncoespasmo y reacciones adversas graves. Este artículo trata de la relación entre el AIA y la anestesia, y muestra nuestra experiencia con 47 pacientes a los que se había diagnosticado AIA entre 1991 y 2003 en el departamento de enfermedades torácicas y la unidad de alergología de adultos. Posteriormente, los pacientes habían sido operados con anestesia general.En conclusión, el examen preoperatorio de estos pacientes y la colaboración entre alergólogos y anestesistas son importantes para la prevención de las complicaciones preoperatorias y postoperatorias (AU)
