Butyryl-cholinesterase deficiency: A case report of delayed recovery after general anaesthesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Apnoea and prolonged paralysis after succinylcholine administration is not uncommon occurrence in anaesthetic practice. It occurs due to inherited or acquired deficiency of butyrylcholinesterase.

Case report

Here we report a case of succinylcholine apnoea for 2 h in a 5 years old girl who was anaesthetized for bronchoscopic extraction of a foreign body. She was subsequently kept on assisted ventilation. She recovered few minutes after I.V. atropine and naloxone. Laboratory investigation revealed low cholinesterase activity. Thus the girl was given 150 mL fresh frozen plasma. She has been discharged the next day after complete recovery.

Conclusion

As the genetic analysis was not available to confirm the diagnosis of atypical variant of cholinesterase. The family was advised to submit serum samples for assessment of cholinesterase activity and avoid exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors. Moreover, clear instructions were given to the family so they can warn the anaesthetists in case any family member undergoes general anesthesia for any reason in the future. Furthermore, they must be strongly advised to avoid exposure to anticholinesterases as they might have heightened sensitivity to these agents. It should be emphasized that Naloxone and atropine could help speed up recovery in such cases.

Diurnal variations in recovery times after general anaesthesia in children.

Project description:BackgroundCircadian rhythms coordinate almost all physiological functions and are implicated in major disease development. Even though circadian rhythms have a major impact on human health, little is known about how they affect general anaesthesia. The purpose of this study was to understand if the time of day affects the length of time a child needs to achieve readiness for discharge after general anaesthesia for brain MRI.MethodsA retrospective analysis over a 3 yr period (2013-5) on the length of stay in the postanaesthesia care unit (PACU) before discharge was performed for children (age <18 yr) undergoing brain magnetic resonance imaging as outpatients. PACU duration was correlated to either morning vs afternoon or to time clusters for discharge times (<9 AM, >9 AM <12 PM, >12 PM <3 PM, >3 PM <6 PM, >6 PM).ResultsData from 2340 procedures in children, with median age [inter-quartile range (range)] of 4.7 [2.3-7.25 (0.5-17.8)] yr were available for analysis. The length of stay in the PACU significantly increased over the course of the day with an observed maximum increase of 18 or 19 min (<9 AM vs >6 PM) in children older than 3 or 5 yr, respectively. Subgroup analysis suggested time of day dependent PACU time increase was independent of sex, co-medications, or obstructive sleep apnoea.ConclusionThe time of day significantly affects PACU recovery times in children of both genders having brain imaging under general anaesthesia. Children younger than 3 yr might not be affected. Further validation of these findings may guide future strategies to reduce discharge times.

Recovery after General Anaesthesia in Adult Horses: A Structured Summary of the Literature.

Project description:Recovery remains the most dangerous phase of general anaesthesia in horses. The objective of this publication was to perform a structured literature review including levels of evidence (LoE) of each study with the keywords "recovery anaesthesia horse", entered at once, in the search browsers PubMed and Web of Science. The two authors independently evaluated each candidate article. A final list with 444 articles was obtained on 5 April 2021, classified as: 41 "narrative reviews/expert opinions", 16 "retrospective outcome studies", 5 "surveys", 59 "premedication/sedation and induction drugs", 27 "maintenance with inhalant agents", 55 "maintenance with total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA)", 3 "TIVA versus inhalants", 56 "maintenance with partial intravenous anaesthesia (PIVA)", 27 "other drugs used during maintenance", 18 "drugs before/during recovery", 18 "recovery systems", 21 "respiratory system in recovery", 41 "other factors", 51 "case series/reports" and 6 "systems to score recoveries". Of them, 167 were LoE 1, 36 LoE 2, 33 LoE 3, 110 LoE 4, 90 LoE 5 and 8 could not be classified based on the available abstract. This review can be used as an up-to-date compilation of the literature about recovery after general anaesthesia in adult horses that tried to minimise the bias inherent to narrative reviews.

Horses Auto-Recruit Their Lungs by Inspiratory Breath Holding Following Recovery from General Anaesthesia.

Project description:This study evaluated the breathing pattern and distribution of ventilation in horses prior to and following recovery from general anaesthesia using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Six horses were anaesthetised for 6 hours in dorsal recumbency. Arterial blood gas and EIT measurements were performed 24 hours before (baseline) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after horses stood following anaesthesia. At each time point 4 representative spontaneous breaths were analysed. The percentage of the total breath length during which impedance remained greater than 50% of the maximum inspiratory impedance change (breath holding), the fraction of total tidal ventilation within each of four stacked regions of interest (ROI) (distribution of ventilation) and the filling time and inflation period of seven ROI evenly distributed over the dorso-ventral height of the lungs were calculated. Mixed effects multi-linear regression and linear regression were used and significance was set at p<0.05. All horses demonstrated inspiratory breath holding until 5 hours after standing. No change from baseline was seen for the distribution of ventilation during inspiration. Filling time and inflation period were more rapid and shorter in ventral and slower and longer in most dorsal ROI compared to baseline, respectively. In a mixed effects multi-linear regression, breath holding was significantly correlated with PaCO2 in both the univariate and multivariate regression. Following recovery from anaesthesia, horses showed inspiratory breath holding during which gas redistributed from ventral into dorsal regions of the lungs. This suggests auto-recruitment of lung tissue which would have been dependent and likely atelectic during anaesthesia.

Immediate Postoperative Pain and Recovery Time after Pulpotomy Performed under General Anaesthesia in Young Children.

Project description:The aim of this retrospective study was to compare immediate postoperative pain scores and need for rescue analgesia in children who underwent pulpotomies and restorative treatment and those who underwent restorative treatment only, all under general anaesthesia.Ninety patients aged between 3 and 7 years who underwent full mouth dental rehabilitation under general anaesthesia were enrolled in the study and reviewed. The experimental group included patients who were treated with at least one pulpotomy, and the control group was treated with dental fillings only. The Wong-Baker FACES scale was used to evaluate self-reported pain and need for rescue analgesia. The data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, two sample t-tests, chi-square tests, and Pearson's correlation analysis.Ninety percent of the children experienced postoperative pain in varying degrees of severity. Immediate postoperative pain scores in experimental group were found to be significantly higher than in control group (x2 = 24.82, p < 0.01). In the experimental group, 48% of the children needed rescue analgesia, compared with only 13% of the children in the control group (x2 = 13.27, p < 0.05).Children who underwent pulpotomy treatment had higher postoperative pain scores and greater need for rescue analgesia than control group who underwent only dental fillings.

Perioperative risk factors for recovery room delirium after elective non-cardiovascular surgery under general anaesthesia.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough postoperative delirium is a frequent complication of surgery, little is known about risk factors for delirium occurring in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). The aim of this study was to determine pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of recovery room delirium (RRD) in patients undergoing elective non-cardiovascular surgery.MethodsRRD was diagnosed according to the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). We collected perioperative data in 228 patients undergoing elective non-cardiovascular surgery under general anaesthesia and performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors related to RRD. PACU and postoperative events were recorded to assess the outcome of RRD.ResultsFifty-seven patients (25%) developed RRD. On multivariate analysis, maintenance of anaesthesia with inhalation anaesthetic agents (OR = 6.294, 95% CI 1.4-28.8, corrected p = 0.03), malignant primary disease (OR = 3.464, 95% CI = 1.396-8.592, corrected p = 0.018), American Society of Anaesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) III-V (OR = 3.389, 95% CI = 1.401-8.201, corrected p = 0.018), elevated serum total or direct bilirubin (OR = 2.535, 95% CI = 1.006-6.388, corrected p = 0.049), and invasive surgery (OR = 2.431, 95% CI = 1.103-5.357, corrected p = 0.035) were identified as independent risk factors for RRD. RRD was associated with higher healthcare costs (31,428 yuan [17,872-43,674] versus 16,555 yuan [12,618-27,788], corrected p = 0.002), a longer median hospital stay (17 days [12-23.5] versus 11 days [9-17], corrected p = 0.002), and a longer postoperative stay (11 days [7-15] versus 7 days [5-10], corrected p = 0.002]).ConclusionsIdentifying patients at high odds for RRD preoperatively would enable the formation of more timely postoperative delirium management programmes.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.
