Cardiac Support Devices
Authors: Hill Charles C. , Raleigh Lindsay
Published: January 2021

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) involves the use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), short-term percutaneous ventricular assist devices, long-term surgically implanted continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (cf-LVADs), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure and cardiogenic shock. IABP is increasingly recognized as an important adjunct in the postoperative treatment arsenal for those patients with severely reduced left ventricular systolic function. Short-term percutaneous options for the treatment of acute right and left heart failure include both the Impella and Tandem Heart, whereas the Centrimag is often used in the surgical setting for acute cardiogenic shock and heart failure. Long-term surgical MCS options include the total artificial heart and the cf-LVADs HeartWare and Heartmate II. ECMO is frequently used for the treatment of acute cardiogenic shock and may be placed peripherally via a percutaneous approach or with central cannulation. ECMO is also increasingly used in the setting of acute cardiac life support, known as extracorporeal life support.

Management of Shock in Infants and Children
Authors: Train Arianne T , Rothstein David H
Published: January 2021

The definition of shock has seen multiple iterations in the past several decades. In its most recent form, shock is understood to comprise a series of insults to the body resulting in impaired end-organ perfusion and generalized tissue underoxygenation. Causative factors are protean, although a large proportion of recent attention has been placed on infectious etiologies, particularly those in the compromised host. Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric shock are particularly challenging because of inherent difficulties in examining a young patient, early compensation of advanced shock, and, in some cases, a lack of provider familiarity with early signs and symptoms of impaired perfusion. Perhaps the most important advance in the past several years has been the recognition that shock must be identified early and sometimes treated empirically, without a proven etiology. In addition, systems of practice are essential to focus early, aggressive treatment of shock and prevent associated morbidity and mortality. In this review, we discuss key points to the evaluation of a pediatric patient with suspected shock, define what laboratory and radiologic investigations may be of utility in confirming a diagnosis and defining an etiology and direct treatment, and highlight recent advances in the understanding and treatment of shock. We also discuss some of the important advances in integration of treatment pathways and the use of the electronic medical record as a clinical adjunct.

Signs of Abuse
Authors: Sola Jr Richard , Juang David
Published: January 2021

An estimated 3.6 million reports of possible child abuse or neglect, also known as nonaccidental trauma (NAT) or nonaccidental injury, involving approximately 6.6 million children were made to child protective services in the United States in 2014. The annual societal cost of child abuse and neglect is estimated conservatively to be over $103 billion. Understanding the history and physical findings specific to NAT will allow physicians to identify those children at risk and avoid missed injuries and recurrent child abuse. Bruising in particular is a cardinal physical finding for NAT. Certain diagnostic tools, such as skeletal surveys and retinal examinations, are used in evaluating for NAT. Abusive head trauma is the most common and deadliest injury. Although less common, abdominal injuries have a high mortality due to nonspecific symptoms and delayed presentation. Solid-organ abdominal injuries and duodenal hematomas can be managed nonoperatively, with a low failure rate. Up to 25% of skeletal fractures for children less than 1 year old are due to NAT. Tools to help medical personnel identify NAT are vitally important because children with recurrent NAT have a higher mortality compared with those identified at the initial episode. In Europe and the United States, checklists and algorithms have been established to standardize management of children with NAT. NAT carries significant morbidity, mortality, and cost to families and hospital resources. The key to prevention is early identification of children with NAT and early involvement of general or pediatric surgeons.

A 20-year-old woman with glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) underwent velopharyngeal closure for velopharyngeal insufficiency following palatoplasty. To reduce the risk of complications attributed to GSD-0, general anesthesia was administered using a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) technique with propofol and remifentanil, along with supplemental glucose-containing intravenous fluids. Her blood glucose remained stable, intraoperative body temperature ranged from 36.5 to 37.2°C, and the velopharyngeal closure was completed without any adverse events.
Anesthetic Management of a Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Patient With Ketamine
Authors: Mundluru Tarun , Saraghi Mana
Published: January 2021

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a potentially debilitating form of neuropathic pain that may manifest following a traumatic injury or surgery. CRPS is also known as algodystrophy, causalgia, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Patients describe unbearable burning pain from nonnociceptive stimuli, such as when taking a shower or brushing against another object. Regular tactile stimuli encountered during routine dental procedures may not be well-tolerated by a patient with CRPS. Ketamine infusions have been reported to help alleviate acute exacerbations or “flare-ups” of CRPS symptoms. This case report provides a brief overview of CRPS pathophysiology and treatment including data supporting the use of ketamine infusions and a discussion regarding the anesthetic management of a patient with CRPS presenting for dental care under deep sedation utilizing high-dose intravenous ketamine.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sensory disorder associated with sensory and motor symptoms that most commonly occur at night and during periods of rest. It is characterized by altered or abnormal sensations primarily in the legs and the urge to move the associated limbs. Perioperative procedures, including general anesthesia, can cause exacerbations of RLS. This is a case report of a suspected RLS exacerbation in a 22-year-old woman who had no formal diagnosis of RLS despite reporting symptoms that met all essential diagnostic criteria by the International RLS Study Group. Despite her previous diagnoses of dehydration induced-muscle pain or nocturnal cramps, we suspected her to have RLS. The patient underwent general anesthesia for a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy using a combined inhalational and intravenous anesthetic technique with sevoflurane, propofol, remifentanil, and dexmedetomidine. After successful completion of the surgery and returning to the ward, she began moving her lower extremities and complaining of unpleasant sensations in both ankles. Bed rest exacerbated the suspected RLS symptoms despite a continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine. The RLS symptoms continued to worsen and spread to her upper extremities. After increasing the dexmedetomidine infusion from 0.2 to 0.4 μg/kg/h, almost all symptoms improved, and she slept for 3 hours. Upon awakening, the unpleasant sensations were completely relieved by walking and stretching. The patient was formally diagnosed with RLS by a neurologist after discharge. In this case, an infusion of dexmedetomidine was helpful in successfully managing a suspected exacerbation of RLS.

Published: January 2021

This is a case report of a 75-year-old man scheduled for apical resection and cystectomy of odontogenic cysts involving both maxillary central incisors who presented with a previously unknown laryngeal mass that was discovered prior to intubation. Following induction and easy mask ventilation, direct laryngoscopy revealed a large mass on the right side of the glottis that impeded passage of a standard oral endotracheal tube. Successful atraumatic intubation was performed with the combination of a video laryngoscope (King Vision, Ambu Inc, Ballerup, Denmark) and a gum elastic bougie (GEB). Although a GEB may not be used routinely for tracheal intubation, it facilitated smooth advancement of the endotracheal tube without damaging the laryngeal mass when used in combination with video laryngoscopy.

Published: January 2021

This randomized, active-controlled, double-blind, prospective clinical trial evaluated the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine versus an admixture of 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 1 mL of 4 mg dexamethasone (Twin mix) for inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANBs) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) of the mandibular molars. Seventy-eight patients with SIP of mandibular molars were randomly allocated to the 2 groups of 39 subjects. All patients were required to have profound lip numbness within 10 minutes of local anesthetic deposition. The efficacy of pulpal anesthesia was confirmed by absence of pain or mild pain (Heft-Parker visual analogue scale ≤54 mm) during access cavity preparation and placement of glide path files. The collected data were subjected to independent t test, chi-square test, and Fisher exact test using SPSS software version 20.0 at a significance level of 0.05. IANB success rates for the lidocaine group and the Twin mix group was 66% and 68% respectively, which was not a statistically significant difference (p > .05). This study demonstrated that the anesthetic efficacy of Twin mix was equivalent to 2% lidocaine for IANBs in teeth with SIP.
