Pediatric Anesthetic Management of a Patient With an ALG-13 Gene Mutation, a Rare Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Congenital disorders of glycosylation are rare and present a challenge in management due to interactions with intraoperative medications. We present safe and successful anesthetic management of a pediatric patient with an ALG‐13 gene mutation.

Intubating conditions during rapid sequence induction with either rocuronium or suxamethonium in elderly patients. A randomised study. [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
Abstract Background During rapid sequence induction, either rocuronium 1.0 mg kg−1 or suxamethonium 1.0 mg kg−1 can be administered to facilitate endotracheal intubation. We hypothezised that rocuronium provided a larger proportion of excellent intubating conditions compared to suxamethonium in elderly patients.

Masseter Muscle Rigidity and Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents [PDF]

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1997
Masseter muscle rigidity has been identified as a possible risk factor for malignant hyperthermia (MH) and is usually noted in children receiving intravenously administered succinylcholine chloride after mask induction with halothane. Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants are considered safe for persons susceptible to MH.

Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring: Having It but Knowing When Not to Trust It [PDF]

, 2023
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an enzyme involved in the degradation of depolarizing and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA), such as succinylcholine and mivacurium, respectively. Its deficiency is inherited or acquired, and results in

Anesthetic management for inhibiting sympathetic activation in an adolescent patient diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and undergoing left cardiac sympathetic denervation: A case report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Key Clinical Message Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a genetic disorder in which catecholamine release during exercise or emotional stress cause fatal tachyarrhythmias. In this paper, we discuss methods to minimize the sympathetic stimulation that can occur during the perioperative period in patients undergoing left ...

A novel RYR1 variant in an infant with a unique fetal presentation of central core disease

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 6, Page 1646-1651, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Ryanodine receptor type 1‐related disorder (RYR1‐RD) is the most common subgroup of congenital myopathies with a wide phenotypic spectrum ranging from mild hypotonia to lethal fetal akinesia. Genetic testing for myopathies is imperative as the diagnosis informs counseling regarding prognosis and recurrence risk, treatment options, monitoring ...

Risk factors for administration of additional reversal following neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium in children: A retrospective case–control study

Pediatric Anesthesia, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 916-925, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The prevalence and risk factors for residual neuromuscular blockade in children remain poorly characterized. We hypothesize that specific patient and anesthetic risk factors may be associated with the administration of additional reversal in children following initial reversal of rocuronium with neostigmine.
