Sedación en ventilación mecánica

Analgesia y sedación en los pacientes con ventilación mecánica. Una encuesta nacional de la práctica clínica


Analgesia and sedation of mechanically ventilated patients - a national survey of clinical practice.
Wøien H, Stubhaug A, Bjørk IT.
Rikshospitalet Medical Centre, Oslo University Hospital, Norway.hilde.woien@ous-hf.no
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2012 Jan;56(1):23-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-6576.2011.02524.x. Epub 2011 Sep 26.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The importance of balanced sedation and pain treatment in intensive care units (ICUs) is evident, but regimes and use of medication differ widely. Previous surveys have focused on the use of various medications and regimes. What has not been explored is the process by which nurses and physicians assess patients' needs and work together toward a defined level of sedation and pain for the ICU patient. The purpose of the study was to determine the use of protocols and medications for sedation and analgesia in Norwegian ICUs and the degree of cooperation between nurses and physicians in using them. METHODS: A national survey was conducted in autumn 2007, using postal self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: Written pain treatment and sedation protocols were not routinely used in Norwegian ICUs; however, half of the departments titrated sedation according to a scoring system, most commonly the Motor Activity Assessment Score. The most commonly used sedatives were propofol and midazolam, while fentanyl and morphine were the most used analgesics. The majority of respondents were concerned about the side effects of sedation and analgesics, leading to circulatory instability and delayed awakening. Nurses and physicians agreed upon the main indications for sedation: patient tolerance for ventilation, tolerance for medical and nursing interventions, and patient symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Potential factors which may improve sedation and pain management of mechanically ventilated patients in Norwegian ICUs are more systematic assessments of pain and sedation, and the use of written protocols. Strategies which reduce side effects should be addressed.

Sedación controlada por el paciente: un novedoso abordaje del manejo de los pacientes en ventilación mecánica


Patient-controlled sedation: a novel approach to sedation management for mechanically ventilated patients.
Chlan LL, Weinert CR, Skaar DJ, Tracy MF.
School of Nursing, University of Minnesota, 5-160 Weaver-Densford Hall, 308 Harvard St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA. chlan001@umn.edu
Chest. 2010 Nov;138(5):1045-53. Epub 2010 Mar 18.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patient self-administration of medications for analgesia and procedural sedation is common. However, it is not known whether mechanically ventilated ICU patients can self-administer their own sedation to manage symptoms. METHODS: This descriptive pilot study examined the safety, adequacy, and satisfaction of patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with a convenience sample of critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients (N = 17) in the ICUs at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dexmedetomidine was administered via a patient-demand infusion pump system for a maximum of 24 h. Pumps were programmed with basal infusion plus patient-triggered boluses; nurses adjusted the basal infusion based on a dosing algorithm. Data were collected on sedation adequacy, additional dosing of analgesics and sedatives, hemodynamic parameters, safety of PCS, patient satisfaction with PCS, and nurse satisfaction with PCS. RESULTS: Although a majority of the hemodynamic values were within the established safety parameters for the study, 25% of patients experienced mild adverse physiologic effects. Furthermore, despite patients' perception of sedation adequacy with PCS, 70% received supplemental opiates or benzodiazepine medications while participating in the study. Patients rated dexmedetomidine PCS favorably for self-management of anxiety, level of relaxation obtained, and comfort in self-administering sedation. Nurses also were generally satisfied with PCS as a method of sedation, dexmedetomidine as the sedative, and patient response to the sedation. CONCLUSIONS: PCS warrants further investigation as a means to promote comfort in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients

Consideraciones anestésicas en dos hermanas con síndrome de Beckwith-Wiedemann


Anesthetic considerations of two sisters with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

Department of Dental Anesthesiology, Osaka University, Faculty of Dentistry, Japan.
Anesth Prog. 1996 Winter;43(1):24-8.
Abstract
Anesthetic considerations of 21-mo-old and 4-yr-old sisters with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome during surgical repair of cleft palate and reduction of macroglossia are presented and discussed. This syndrome is characterized by exomphalos, macroglossia, gigantism, hypoglycemia in infancy, and many other clinical features. This syndrome is also known as exomphalos, macroglossia, and gigantism (EMG) syndrome. Principal problems associated with anesthetic management in this syndrome are hypoglycemia and macroglossia. Careful intraoperative plasma glucose monitoring is particularly important to prevent the neurologic sequelae of unrecognized hypoglycemia. It is expected that airway management would be complicated by the macroglossia, which might cause difficult bag/mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation following the induction of anesthesia and muscle paralysis, so preparations for airway difficulty (e.g., awake vocal cord inspection) should be considered before induction. A nasopharyngeal airway is useful in relieving postoperative airway obstruction.

Abstract
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is characterized by omphalocele, macroglossia, organomegaly and neonatal hypoglycemia as well a myriad of other clinical and laboratory features. This syndromatic entity is also known as omphalocele, macroglossia, and gigantism syndrome. The main anesthesia management problems associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome are hypoglycemia and tongue enlargement. Careful preanesthetic evaluation is mandatory including a full assessment of the heart and urinary system as well as the airway patency. A child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome may require different types of surgical procedures. It is necessary to anticipate a difficult airway management due to macroglossia, which may cause difficulty with ventilation and/or tracheal

Anestesia y síndrome de Beckwith-Weideman


Anaesthesia and Beckwith - Weideman Syndrome
A Bösenberg, MBChB, DA(SA) FFA (SA)
Department of Anaesthesia, University Cape Town, South Africa
Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia & Analgesia - July 2003
Synopsis of patient: A 15 hour old, 4.2 kg male presents for closure of a large exomphalos. He was delivered by C-section for foetal distress after a prolonged labour at a peripheral hospital. Apgars were recorded as 6 and 8. His mother was an unmarried primigravida who attended antenatal clinic on one occasion. Meconium aspiration was suspected at birth. Preoperative assessment revealed a large term baby with features of Beckwith-Weideman syndrome - a large tongue; a faint naevus on the forehead; and a skin crease on the ear lobe. Assessment of the liver and spleen was difficult in view of the large omphalocoele (5x6cm). The exomphalos was stained by the meconium in utero. He was tachypnoeic but the chest was clear. There was a 2/6 ejection systolic murmur at the left sternal border. Chest xray was normal apart from mild cardiomegaly. Blood sugar on admission was 1.2 mmol.l ; electrolytes were within normal limits. Haemoglobin was 17gm. (Hct 55) Beckwith-Weideman syndrome Beckwith-Weideman syndrome (BWS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome with variable expressivity and is characterised by abdominal wall defects, (usually exomphalos), macroglossia, and gigantism often associated with visceromegaly, adrenocortical cytomegaly, and dysplasia of the renal medulla (Table 1). The syndrome was first described by John Bruce Beckwith, a paediatric pathologist in Seattle (but South African born!) in 19632. Hans Rudolf Weidemann, professor in paediatrics at Kiel University (Germany), also described the syndrome at much the same time3. More recently the syndrome has become known as the EMG syndrome: exomphalos - macroglossia - gigantism.

Anestesia para un niño con síndrome de Pallister-Killian. Informe de caso
Anesthesia in child with Pallister-Killian syndrome: case report.
Cruz JR, Videira RL.
CMA, Hospital e Maternidade São Luiz.
Rev Bras Anestesiol. 2004 Oct;54(5):677-80.
Abstract
Pallister-Killian Syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disease due to a mosaic anomaly of chromosome 12. There is little information about PKS in the anesthetic literature. This report aimed at discussing aspects of this syndrome that may be relevant to anesthesia. CASE REPORT: A 5-year-old male patient with typical PKS characteristics (facial dimorphism, temporal alopecia, micrognathia, macroglossia, mental retardation, seizures and pigmentary skin lesions) was scheduled to magnetic resonance of the head under general anesthesia. He was induced and maintained with sevoflurane under facial mask and oropharyngeal canulla. Pulmonary ventilation was manually assisted during induction. There has been no complication and the procedure was performed in outpatient regimen. CONCLUSIONS: The importance of a thorough preanesthetic evaluation is emphasized due to possible malformations associated to PKS, including cardiopathies. Attention to difficult intubation or maintenance of the airways is recommended.

Tetrasomía 12p (Síndrome de Pallister-Killian)
Tetrasomy 12p (Pallister-Killian syndrome).
Schinzel A.
Institut für Medizinische Genetik der Universität Zürich, Switzerland.
J Med Genet. 1991 Feb;28(2):122-5.
First described in 1977 by Pallister et al. and independently reported in 1981 by Killian and
Teschler-Nicola, the syndrome is known for its many anomalies and by various names including Pallistermosaic syndrome, Pallister-Killian syndrome, Pallister-Killian-Teschler-Nicola syndrome, Killian-Teschler-Nicola syndrome, and others. Some early cases were misinterpreted as mosaic tetrasomy 21qq. It is one of the chromosome aberrations in which clinical recognition is important in order to initiate the necessary cytogenetic investigations from different tissues.

En compañía de microbios

http://www.madrimasd.org/canales/salud-biomedicina/revista-prensa/en-compania-de-microbios?origen=notiweb_suplemento&dia_suplemento=miercoles&seccion=revistadeprensa

Los microbios que pueblan nuestro organismo son mucho más que la flora intestinal. Distintas estimaciones elevan hasta 10.000 las especies con las que cohabitamos, con un peso equivalente al de nuestro cerebro. El semanario The New Yorker aporta una interesante puesta al día.En compañía de microbios





© NIH Human Microbiome Project


El término formal con el que se nombra al conjunto de bacterias que podemos encontrar en nuestro organismo es microbioma. Bajo este nombre de nuevo cuño se engloban bacterias que participan en la producción de vitaminas o el control de infecciones intestinales. También, en el mecanismo digestivo y en el sistema inmune.

Estudios recientes, puede leerse en el prestigioso semanario, han llegado a la conclusión que la destrucción de determinados tipos de bacterias pueden incluso alterar la química del cerebro y afectar el comportamiento y el estado de ánimo. Por otro lado, parece que también podrían participar de algún modo en patologías como el asma o en la obesidad.

De la importancia que está cobrando el microbioma se desprende el interés por iniciar la secuenciación de los genomas bacterianos, un trabajo ímprobo y que va a llevar un buen número de años en un proyecto de carácter multinacional.

Y también da buena cuenta de su importancia el papel que está tomando la industria, que prevé la posibilidad de prescribir probióticos para reforzar la presencia de determinados grupos de bacterias en caso de déficit que conduzca a patología o a síntomas subclínicos. Al respecto, son muchas las voces que reclaman que estos productos dejen de considerarse simples suplementos dietéticos para pasar a tener un tratamiento mucho más riguroso e incluso cercano al de los medicamentos.
