Publicación Acceso abierto Anaesthesia in craniosynostosis(Sociedad Colombiana de Anestesiología y Reanimación (SCARE), 2014-07-14) González Cárdenas, Víctor Hugo; Vanegas Martínez, María Victoria; Rojas Rueda, María Elvira; Guevara, Nelly Guevara; Prada, José Rolando; Baquero, PabloCraniosynostosis is a congenital disorder requiring extensive reconstructive surgery thatentails a high probability of severe bleeding, massive transfusion and difficult airway man-agement. Considering that the anaesthetic management for this procedure has specialrequirements and priority targets, presenting the experience of the anaesthesiology depart-ment working under the programme for surgery of craniofacial abnormalities is of thegreatest importance. Objective: Describe the behaviour of anaesthetic variables during the perioperative period inpatients taken to craniosynostosis correction at Hospital Infantil Universitario de San José.Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study in patients taken to surgery between Jan-uary 1st 2008 and January 31st 2012. Data were collected from electronic clinical records andanaesthesia records. Results: The most relevant data were haemorrhage and transfusion. Blood loss was 35.6 cc/kg(SD = 17.4), considered as severe haemorrhage. Patients receiving tranexamic acid did notshow lower intra-operative levels of blood loss or packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions,shorter mechanical ventilation or ICU (intensive care unit) length of stay. We observed asmaller number of PRBC transfusions in patients in the ICU who received desmopressin. Conclusions: We suggest that neither tranexamic acid (14 mg/kg) nor desmopressin (0.36 mg/kg) in this cohort correlated with reduced haemorrhage or smaller volumes of intra-operative PRBCs. We only describe a smaller volume of transfused PRBCs in the ICU associated with the use of desmopressin.Publicación Acceso abierto Impact of hypothermia during craniosynostosis repair surgery(Sociedad Colombiana de Anestesiología y Reanimación, 2016-07-01) González-Cárdenas, Víctor Hugo; Vanegas-Martínez, María Victoria; Rojas-Rueda, María Elvira; Burbano-Paredes, Claudia Cecilia; Pulido-Barbosa, Nadya TatianatIntroduction: Hypothermia is recognized as a risk factor for perioperative complications inpaediatric patients. High surgical risk procedures serve as a model of exposure to that riskfactor. In particular, surgical correction of craniosynostosis serves as a model for measuringthe impact of hypothermia.Objective: To assess hypothermia-related morbidity and mortality in paediatric patientstaken to craniosynostosis correction.Methodology: Historical cohort study of patients taken to craniosynostosis correction andexposed to hypothermia.Results: With prior approval of the Ethics Committee of the institution, 54 records wereincluded in the analysis. No statistically significant differences were found betweenhypothermia and its impact in terms of morbidity and mortality (death, major bleeding,massive haemorrhage massive transfusion, disseminated intravascular coagulation, needfor vasopressor support, mechanical ventilation time and length of stay, including admission to the intensive care unit). A clinically significant increase in bleeding (severe and massive) and severe hypothermia was found (28.6% vs. 40% and 14.3% vs. 40%, respectively). Conclusions: No statistical differences were found in terms of morbidity and mortality with severe hypothermia (and moderate/severe hypothermia).
