  • Exclusão pulmonar em doente pediátrico recorrendo a cateter Fogarty
    Publication . Veiga, R; Costa, C; Vargas, S; Barros, F
    O aumento do número de intervenções com recurso a videotoracoscopia, bem como os procedimentos torácicos abertos em crianças, exigem técnicas anestésicas que providenciem ventilação pulmonar unilateral. As técnicas descritas na literatura para ventilação pulmonar unilateral em crianças são diversas porque todas elas têm as suas limitações individuais e temos sempre que adaptar a escolha da nossa técnica às possibilidades disponíveis na instituição onde trabalhamos. A utilização, bem-sucedida, de cateteres de embolectomia Fogarty como bloqueadores brônquicos para ventilação pulmonar unilateral está documentada recorrendo a diferentes técnicas. A colocação do cateter é realizada “às cegas” ou guiada e confirmada por broncoscopia ou fluroscopia. Descrevemos um caso bem-sucedido de colocação de um cateter Fogarty para ventilação pulmonar unilateral, através de um tubo endotraqueal convencional, numa criança de 2 anos proposta para ressecção do lobo pulmonar inferior direito. Esta técnica permitiu-nos uma ventilação sem intercorrências durante todo o procedimento cirúrgico.

  • Incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade in the postanaesthesia care unit: an observational multicentre study in Portugal.

    CONTEXT: Residual neuromuscular blockade still presents despite the use of intermediate duration muscle relaxants and is a risk factor for postoperative morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of incomplete postoperative neuromuscular recovery from anaesthesia in a postanaesthesia care unit. DESIGN: Multicentre observational study. SETTING: Public Portuguese hospitals. PATIENTS: Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery requiring general anaesthesia with neuromuscular blocking agents. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: An independent anaesthesiologist measured neuromuscular transmission by the TOF-Watch SX acceleromyograph. Train-of-four ratios at least 0.9 and less than 0.9 were assessed as complete and incomplete neuromuscular recovery following general anaesthesia, respectively. RESULTS: The study population consisted of 350 patients [134 men and 216 women, mean (SD) age 54.3 (15.9) years]. Ninety-one patients had a train-of-four ratio less than 0.9 on arrival in the postanaesthesia care unit, an incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade of 26% [95% confidence interval (CI) 21 to 31%]. The most frequent neuromuscular blockers were rocuronium (44.2%) and cisatracurium (32%). A neuromuscular block reversal agent was used in 66.6% of the patients (neostigmine in 97%). The incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade in patients receiving reversal agents was 30% (95% CI 25 to 37%). There were no statistically significant differences in the occurrence of residual blockade relating to the neuromuscular blocker used, although higher percentages were observed for cisatracurium (32.4%) and vecuronium (32%) compared with atracurium (23.6%) and rocuronium (20.8%). Incomplete neuromuscular recovery was significantly more frequent among patients who had received a reversal agent (30.5 vs. 17.1%, P = 0.01). Incomplete neuromuscular recovery was more frequent in patients given propofol than in those exposed to sevoflurane (26.2 vs. 14.3%). CONCLUSION: The incidence of incomplete neuromuscular recovery of 26% confirms that it is relatively frequent in the postoperative period and calls attention to the dimension of this problem in Portugal
