Symptoma

General Anesthesia

It is intended that the present case serve as a guide for fellow surgeons to identify and manage this syndrome. The present case was explained and a review of the literature was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypothermia

    A myotonic crisis can be induced by numerous factors including hypothermia, shivering, and mechanical or electrical stimulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In turn this results in redistribution of body heat from core to periphery with subsequent rapid hypothermia during anaesthesia. [web.archive.org]

    Severe hypothermia may result in coagulopathy, delayed awakening, or arrhythmia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Hoarseness

    On the first postoperative day, she complained left sided tongue deviation, subtle hoarseness and swallowing difficulty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    These include: Breathing problems Nausea and vomiting Sore throat or hoarseness (usually temporary) Allergic reaction to the anesthetic Irregular heartbeat (rare) Cardiac arrest (rare) Anesthesia safety Follow all instructions you are given for how long [fairview.org]

    Also, some people have a sore throat or hoarseness from the breathing tube inserted after the person is unconscious. Inserting the breathing tube can sometimes cause damage to a person's mouth or teeth, but this is uncommon. [northshore.org]

  • Chest Deformity

    Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by facial anomalies, short stature, chest deformity, congenital heart diseases, and other comorbidities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Amnesia

    Under general anesthesia, the patient is unable to feel pain and may also have amnesia. [medicalnewstoday.com]

    It has 3 objectives: - Avoid pain; - Induce deep sleep and amnesia -- that is to say, a hypnotic state; - Induce muscle relaxation to make the surgeon's work easier. [youtube.com]

    This involves achieving the desired elements of the 4 components of general anesthesia ala Woodbridge (1957): block of mental, reflex, sensory and motor function; or, the 3 A's of Anesthesia (with or without muscle relaxation): Amnesia (anxiolysis, ataraxia [web.archive.org]

    Anesthesia causes amnesia. General anesthesia keeps you relaxed, blocks pain, and may also cause amnesia. [medicaldaily.com]

  • Agitation

    It can also decrease postoperative pain and incidence of the emergence agitation. Due to the small number of studies, further clinical trials are needed to confirm these results. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Attempts should be made to avoid the use of physical restraints, which may worsen delirium and agitation. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

  • Stupor

    Catatonia — Psychomotor disturbance characterized by muscular rigidity, excitement or stupor. Hypnotic agent — A drug capable of inducing a hypnotic state. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    The terms anaesthesia (Greek: without feeling) and narcosis (Greek: stupor, paralysis) were introduced soon after the discovery of etherization. [bja.oxfordjournals.org]

    Opium was praised by the Persian philosopher and physician Avicenna in the eleventh century as the most powerful of stupor-producing substances. [encyclopedia.com]

  • Altered Mental Status

    General anesthesia or sedation can mask a hypoglycemia-altered mental status. Acute hypoglycemia might result in permanent brain injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Postoperative workup did not reveal any organic pathology. Unbeknown to the treating physicians, the patient had a comorbid untreated psychiatric history. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Burst Suppression

    Demographic data, indication for surgery, clinical history, history of prior seizures, duration of surgery and duration of burst suppression were recorded. Cases where seizures were observed were analyzed in detail. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypercapnia

    Severe hypercapnia is a rare but harmful complication of general anesthesia. We report the case of a newborn who developed severe hypercapnia with unknown reasons during general anesthesia but recovered well. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    • Cardiac arrhythmias: serious if hypercapnia develops due to hypoventilation and an increase in the plasma concentration of catecholamines) • Hypotensive effect (phenylephrine recommended) • Hepatotoxic: is oxidatively metabolized in the liver to tissue [slideshare.net]

  • Glucose Increased

    RESULTS: Resting energy expenditure (B1: 1230 228; B2: 1317 282; C: 1012 153 kcal/h; B2 vs C, P CONCLUSIONS: The administration of amino acids and glucose increased measured energy expenditure, alleviated nitrogen balance, and may decrease the length [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Here we describe dental treatment under general anesthesia performed for a 28-year-old man with NS. He had characteristic features of NS along with mild pulmonary valve stenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The separation phenomenon of decrease in PETCO2 and increase in PaCO2 might be a useful and suggestive sign, enabling prompt management and therefore improving the prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outlook (Prognosis) General anesthesia is generally safe because of modern equipment, medicines, and safety standards. Most people recover completely and do not have any complications. References Cohen NH. Perioperative management. [mountsinai.org]

The specific etiology of this condition is widely speculated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological data demonstrate that the worldwide prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is increasing. These patients have an increased risk of mortality and morbidity and have constant limitations in airflow. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In 2017, we have 47 ongoing studies among 27 investigators throughout our subspecialties, including clinical, bench, education, and epidemiological studies. [anesthesiology.cumc.columbia.edu]

This may have been a chance finding, as analyses did not adjust for multiple endpoints. 43 The PANDA study addressed many of the limitations of the previous epidemiologic studies. [fda.gov]

Early detection is even more difficult for patients under general anesthesia as common symptoms are not available and the pathophysiological course of intra-operative APE is influenced by procedures of surgery and anesthesia, which makes patients under [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Effective management of ammonia levels in this patient using preoperative hydration and dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to general anesthesia may have helped to prevent delayed emergence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
