Anesthetic management of staged separation of craniopagus conjoined twins,

PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA, Issue 3 2006
MICHAEL GIRSHIN MD
Summary We present a case of successful separation of craniopagus conjoined twins. The procedure was staged to permit each child to develop adequate independent cerebral venous drainage and to prevent deleterious, perioperative cerebral edema. Surgical hemorrhage, blood product delivery, and hemodilution were minimized. [source]

Prediction of the Distance from the Skin to the Lumbar Epidural Space in the Greek Population, Using Mathematical Models

PAIN PRACTICE, Issue 2 2005
Emmanouil Stamatakis MD
Abstract Background and Objectives:, The skin to lumbar epidural space distance (SLED) is variable, and therefore the ability to clinically predict the SLED may help increase the success of epidural anesthesia/analgesia. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between the SLED and demographic/anthropometric variables in the Greek population, and develop a mathematical model for its prediction. Methods:, This prospective randomized study enrolled 406 male and female Greek patients who required an epidural block as part of their anesthetic management. With patients placed in the left lateral and knee-chest position, the lumbar epidural space was located by the loss of resistance to normal saline technique. Statistical analysis was used to identify the relationship between SLED, and the following variables were evaluated: age, weight, height, body mass index, body surface area, intervertebral space used, pregnancy, and geographic origin within Greece. Results:, No adverse events or dural punctures occurred. Mean SLED in the general population was 4.98 ± 0.95 cm, with values significantly higher in males (5.37 ± 0.88 cm) compared with females (4.83 ± 0.93 cm). SLED was best associated with weight, body surface area, and body mass index. Mathematical formulae for prediction of SLED in the general population and the female population were derived from linear regression analysis. These formulae were able to predict approximately half of the observed variability in SLED. Conclusions:, While mathematical models of SLED can be a useful tool, they should not be exclusively relied on in the clinical setting, but rather should be used as an adjunct to standardized techniques to improve the safety and efficacy of epidural anesthesia/analgesia.

Cardiac arrest at induction of anesthesia in a child with undiagnosed right-ventricular dependent coronary circulation: a case report

PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA, Issue 11 2006
TODD A. BROWN MD
Summary Pediatric perioperative cardiac arrest occurs in 1.4 per 10 000 anesthetics, with an overall mortality rate of 26%. The etiology of the arrest is identifiable in the majority of these patients. We report the case of a child with a complex congenital heart defect, who sustained a cardiac arrest at induction of anesthesia, secondary to right-ventricular dependent coronary circulation. We discuss the incidence, risks, anesthetic management and outcomes of pediatric cardiac arrest in the perioperative period especially in patients with complex congenital heart disease. [source]

Anesthesia management of familial dysautonomia

PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA, Issue 6 2006
JENNIE NGAI MD
Summary Familial dysautonomia (FD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, predominantly affecting the Ashkenazi Jewish population that is characterized by sensory and autonomic neuropathy. The protean manifestations and perturbations result in high morbidity and mortality. However, as a result of supportive measures and centralized care, survival has improved. As surgical options are increasing to symptomatically treat FD, anesthesiologists need to be familiar with this disorder. Because the Dysautonomia Center at NYU Medical Center is a referral center for FD patients, we have attained considerable anesthetic experience with FD. This article reviews clinical features of FD that could potentially affect anesthetic management and outlines our present practices. [source]

Summary We describe the anesthetic management of three children who underwent CT-guided lung biopsies and the complications associated with the procedure. We discuss the likely causes and recommend steps that would help decrease the risk of these complications during such a procedure. [source]

Anesthetic issues in pediatric liver transplantation

PEDIATRIC TRANSPLANTATION, Issue 5 2005
Francine S. Yudkowitz
Abstract:, Pediatric liver transplantations are becoming increasingly more common. Recent advances in the surgical and anesthetic management of these cases have greatly improved the survival rate. In order to successfully manage the anesthesia in these patients, one needs to have a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of end-stage liver disease and the subsequent anesthetic implications. It is also necessary to appreciate the stages of the surgical procedure, as each stage presents different dilemmas to the anesthesiologist. This article will review the pathophysiology of liver failure in pediatric patients and outline the particular issues related to each stage of liver transplantation, allowing for the anticipation and management of the derangements that occur during surgery.

Is veno-venous bypass still needed during liver transplantation?

CLINICAL TRANSPLANTATION, Issue 1 2009
A review of the literature
Abstract:, Orthotopic liver transplantation has been made feasible with intra-operative femoral-to-jugular veno-venous bypass (VVB) to redirect the blood from the lower extremities and the kidneys to the heart. This reduces hemodynamic instability and metabolic disturbances. However, complications such as thromboses with pulmonary thrombembolism or post-reperfusion syndrome were observed in up to 30% of the cases. The latter, recent developments of cava-sparing surgical techniques, shorter anhepatic times plus optimized anesthetic management have made the necessity for a routine use of VVB questionable.
