Ketamine monoanaesthesia for diagnostic muscle biopsy in neuromuscular disorders in infancy and childhood: floppy infant syndrome.
The anaesthetic management of children with neuromuscular diseases giving rise to hypotonia is associated with a variety of problems. Ketamine alone was given by the intravenous or intramuscular route to 32 children with Floppy Infant Syndrome for diagnostic muscle biopsy. The patients aged between three months and 12 yr and weighing 3.2 to 28 kg were studied over three years (1986-1988). The s...
متن کاملFloppy Infant Syndrome: Overview
Floppy infants exhibit poor control of movement, delayed motor skills, and hypotonic motor movement patterns. Weak infants always have hypotonia, but hypotonia may exist without weakness. Some indications of CNS abnormality are because of poor state of alertness, lack of response to visual and auditory stimuli, inability to manage co-ordinated functions like swallowing and sucking noted that th...
متن کاملThe neuromuscular junction disorders.
Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disorders result from destruction, malfunction or absence of one or more key proteins involved in neuromuscular transmission, illustrated diagrammatically in fig 1. The most common pathology is antibody mediated damage or down regulation of ion channels or receptors, resulting in myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and acquired neuromyo...

متن کاملThe floppy infant: contribution of genetic and metabolic disorders.
The floppy infant syndrome is a well-recognized entity for pediatricians and neonatologists. The condition refers to an infant with generalized hypotonia presenting at birth or in early life. The diagnostic work up in many instances is often complex, and requires multidisciplinary assessment. Advances in genetics and neurosciences have lead to recognition of newer diagnostic entities (several c...
