چکیده

Propofol, a central-acting sedative agent, has been implicated in the development of rhabdomyolysis in children. We describe two adults who developed rhabdomyolysis after receiving high rates of propofol infusion. Rhabdomyolysis of both skeletal and cardiac muscle was suggested in both patients by marked increases of creatine kinase (>170 000 U/L) and cardiac troponin I (11 and 46 microg/L in patients one and two, respectively). Creatine kinase and cardiac troponin I values were highly correlated in each patent (r = 0.786 and 0.988 in patients one and two, respectively). Autopsy of one patient confirmed the diagnosis of skeletal and cardiac rhabdomyolysis.

Propofol Infusion Syndrome in Adults: A Clinical Update

Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare but extremely dangerous complication of propofol administration. Certain risk factors for the development of propofol infusion syndrome are described, such as appropriate propofol doses and durations of administration, carbohydrate depletion, severe illness, and concomitant administration of catecholamines and glucocorticosteroids. The pathophysiology of thi...

Incidence of propofol-related infusion syndrome in critically ill adults: a prospective, multicenter study

INTRODUCTION While propofol is associated with an infusion syndrome (PRIS) that may cause death, the incidence of PRIS is unknown. Determining the incidence of PRIS and the frequency of PRIS-related clinical manifestations are key steps prior to the completion of any controlled studies investigating PRIS. This prospective, multicenter study sought to determine the incidence of PRIS and PRIS-rel...

Suggested beginning of propofol infusion syndrome in an adult patient without lactacidosis: a case report.

EDITOR: Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare and often fatal disease associated with propofol sedation at doses of more than 5 mg kg h for more than 48 h. PRIS is characterized by lipaemic plasma, fatty liver enlargement, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis or myoglobinuria, cardiac arrhythmia and acute bradycardia progressing to asystole. The syndrome usually occurs in patients with cent...

Rare, potentially fatal, poorly understood propofol infusion syndrome

We present the case of a 7-year old boy with traumatic brain injury who received propofol during 38 h. Thirty-six hours after cessation of propofol infusion asystole occurred. After immediate mechanical and medical resuscitation, unreactive dilated pupils were observed. The following computed tomography scan revealed a generalized brain edema with transtentorial herniation. Prolonged bradyarrhy...

Propofol infusion syndrome: update of clinical manifestation and pathophysiology.

Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is defined as acute bradycardia progressing to asystole combined with lipemic plasma, fatty liver enlargement, metabolic acidosis with negative base excess >10 mmol l(-1), rhabdomyolysis or myoglobinuria associated with propofol infusion. The purpose of this review was to provide a new update of reported case reports and to describe recent retrospective studies...
