Life-Threatening Laryngeal Edema and Hyponatremia during Hysteroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a 43-year-old patient undergoing a hysteroscopic myomectomy. After 80 minutes of operation, the patient developed laryngeal edema, requiring emergency tracheostomy. Hyponatremia (serum sodium 78 mmoL/L) indicated an irrigation fluid absorption. The patient developed shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute renal failure, and diffuse intravascular coagulopathy. Resuscitation including continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration was required. Finally, the patient made a full clinical recovery. Hysteroscopy usually has low risks. However, absorption of the irrigation fluid can result in life-threatening fluid overload and electrolyte disturbances. Accurate fluid balancing and limiting the operation time may prevent these complications.

Excess absorption of fluid distention media remains an unpredictable complication of operative hysteroscopy and may lead to lethal conditions. We report an extreme hyponatremia, caused by using an electrolyte-free 5 : 1 sorbitol/mannitol solution as distention/irrigation fluid for hysteroscopic myomectomy. A 34-year-old female developed severe pulmonary edema and extreme hyponatremia (83 mmol/L...

Life-threatening hyponatremia can occur when sodium concentration falls to 125 mmol/L or less. Symptoms usually do not depend on the absolute sodium concentration but on the rate of fall. Estimates of mortality in acute hyponatremia are as high as 50%. Marathon runners are at particular risk of developing a syndrome which consists of severe hyponatremia, pulmonary edema and cerebral edema as or...
متن کاملPrinciples of Management of Severe Hyponatremia
H yponatremia represents a serious health hazard. 1 Hospitalized patients, nursing home residents, women, and children exhibit high frequency and/or severity of hyponatremia. Hyponatremia developing during the course of other morbid conditions increases their severity. Estimates of direct costs for treating hyponatremia in the United States ranged between $1.61 and $3.6 billion. Clinical manife...
متن کاملSevere intraoperative hyponatremia in a patient scheduled for elective hysteroscopy: a case report.
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that may result in potentially disastrous complications. A hysteroscopy requires the insertion of a hysteroscope into the uterine cavity and the installation of a suitable distention medium for visualization of the endometrium. Potential risks include fluid volume overload, uterine perforation, hemorrhage, infection, and the need for immediate hyst...
