Manajemen Low Flow Anesthesia pada Pasien Kraniosinostosis dengan Hipertelorisme yang menjalani Four Box Wall Osteotomy, dan Eksisi Redundant Skin Fronto Nasal

Craniosynostosis is a case that diagnosed in the first year of life and can need surgical in young age. Craniosynostosis is a part of hypertelorism with incidence rate around 20%. Boy, 13 years old with hypertelorism had undergone multiple surgery for correction of hypertelorism before. Patient was planned to advance surgical correction of four box wall osteotomy which consist frontal part correction and part of it is release craniosynostosis in coronal suture. Risk of massive bleeding because patient already in teen age and length of surgery can be prolonged. Difficult airway management due to fascial deformity, use of low flow anesthesia to preserve temperature and reduce inhalation anesthesia usage, intraoperative fluid management in consideration maintenance and replacement blood loss and post operative pain management has become another consideration. Covid-19 as part of problems post operatively being known before extubation made the process is delayed. Massive bleeding needs massive transfusion protocol to speed up blood availability. Blood product such as PRC, FFP and TC should be available because coagulation factor is part of consideration. Anesthesia management in hypertelorism with four box wall osteotomy need good communication between anesthesiologist, neurosurgeon, plastic surgeon and pediatric intensivist to reduce perioperative risk including covid-19 in pandemic era.

Penanganan Trigeminocardiac Reflex (TCR) selama Anestesi untuk Bedah Saraf

Trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is a unique brain stem reflex that manifests as negative cardio-respiratory perturbations. The trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is defined as the sudden onset of parasympathetic dysrhythmia, sympathetic hypotension, apnea, or gastric hypermotility during stimulation of any of the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. Clinically, the TCR has been reported in all the surgical procedures in which a structure innervated by the trigeminal nerve is involved. This reflex is largely reported in skull base surgeries/interventions; however, in recent times, it has been also linked with many neurosurgical, neurointerventional procedures, non-neurosurgical and non-surgical conditions. This reflex presents with many cardiovascular changes that can create catastrophic complications, worse outcome as well as diagnostic dilemmas. Although, there is an abundant literature with reports of incidences and risk factors of the TCR; the physiological significance and function of this brainstem reflex has not yet been fully elucidated. In addition, there are complexities within the TCR that requires examination and clarification. If a CTR occurs, it can risk factor identification and modification, depth of anesthesia assessment, prophylactic treatment with either vagolytic agents or peripheral nerve block in case of peripheral manipulations of the nerve, careful cardiovascular monitoring during anesthesia, especially in those with a risk factor for TCR, treatment of the condition when it occurs: cessation of the manipulation, and administration of vagolytic agents and adrenaline. Therefore, this narrative review intends to elaborate on its mechanisms, definition, pathophysiology, manifestations, diagnosis and management.

Pengelolaan Diabetes Insipidus dengan Cerebral Salt Wasting Syndrome dan Tension Pneumocephalus pada Pasien Pascabedah Eksisi Tumor Pineal

Electrolyte imbalance is an often incident in patients underwent neurosurgery and it potentially induces secondary brain injury, leading to a worse outcome, despite successful surgery. Diabetes insipidus is a frequent hypernatremic condition, commonly caused by abnormalities in the hypophysis; but rarely happens due to pineal tumor. A 21-year-old male with preoperative diabetes insipidus experienced episodes of diabetes insipidus complicated by cerebral salt wasting syndrome and tension pneumocephalus after a successful pineal tumor removal surgery. Closed observation on volume status, plasma glucose and electrolyte, along with optimal dose of desmopressin were keys of successful postoperative management in this patient in order to avoid the patient from secondary brain injury. An intensivist plays a key role, mainly in the understanding of intracranial pathophysiology and its implications to fluid and electrolyte balance.

Faktor Faktor Risiko terjadinya Pneumonia pada Stroke Akut di RSUP Dr Hasan Sadikin Bandung

Risk Factors of Pneumonia in Acute Stroke at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung Abstract Background and Objective:Pneumonia is the most common non neurological complications in acute stroke (22%) that increase mortality rate, length of stay and hospitalization cost. It is necessary to identified risk factors for pneumonia including neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) for better prevention and early intervention. The purpose of this study is to determine risk factors of pneumonia (including NPE) in acute stroke patients at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Subject and Methods: Prospective observational descriptive study, consecutive sampling method, during September – October 2019. Primary data collected from acute stroke patients such as stroke severity, type, location and size of stroke, treatment during hospitalizataion, comorbidities (including NPE). Pneumonia was diagnosed based on Central for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) criteria, NPE based on Davison criteria. Results: 30 patients (28.3%) with pneumonia in acute stroke patients. Pneumonia were commonly found in NGT insertion (90%), dysphagia (64,71%), total anterior circulation infarct (TACI) (61,54%), large infarct size (61,54%), GCS 9-12 (50%) and NIHSS 16-20 (50%). NPE only found in 6,60% acute stroke patients, 57,14% of them developed pneumonia. Conclusions: Pneumonia in acute stroke patients is more often found in NGT insertion, dysphagia, TACI location, large infarct size, lower GCS and more severe stroke degree.

Disfungsi Kognitif Post Operatif pada Geriatri

Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) is a neurocognitive disorder characterized by decreased cognitive performance after surgery and anesthesia. POCD is a complication characterized by memory impairment, decreased information processing and reduced attention, accompanied by changes in mood and personality. The incidence of POCD in elderly patients (> 60 years) was approximately 25.8% within seven days after surgery and 10% within three months after surgery. The risk factors and etiology that lead to POCD can be reduced by good patient education, patient care and proper sanitation can prevent the tendency of POCD symptoms in these patients. Examination can be done with the learning test, the word learning test, the tracing test, the manual dexterity test, the ability test to remember a sequence of numbers. Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) as a screening test for dementia. MMSE is sometimes used to measure POCD. MMSE can be used in routine clinical practice to identify preoperative subclinical dementia that would put patients at a higher risk of developing POCD. Management in POCD includes two approaches, namely rapid diagnosis and prevention of POCD symptoms. Prevention by knowing the risk factors preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative. In patients with persistent POCD, it has a negative impact on quality of life, subjective memory performance, emotional symptoms, and possible health consequences such as dementia and premature death.

Tatalaksana Anestesi Posisi Telungkup pada Pasien Pediatrik yang Menjalani Prosedur Reseksi dan Rekonstruksi Human Tail

Human tail or additional tail is an unusual malformation and is divided into true tails and pseudotails (lipoma, teratoma, fetal parasitic mylomeningocele). Human tail is associated with spinal dysraphism. Myelomeningocele is spinal dysraphism in which the spinal cord and its contents herniate through a bone defect. congenital to the posterior element. The surgical management of MMC poses challenges, not only to the implementation of anesthesia but also to provide perioperative care depending on the pediatric age group, comorbid conditions, and associated systemic disorders. Anesthesia for the MMC in the lumbosacral region was performed in the prone position. Changing the patient's position to the prone position is a critical maneuver. Complications that occur due to the wrong prone position can cause morbidity and some cases cause mortality so that anesthesia with the prone position must be well understood to avoid the risks and complications that can occur. A 5 year old girl with myelomeninocele will undergo a resection and reconstruction procedure in a prone position. The hemodynamic status during the procedure which lasted 3 hours was quite stable with a hemorrhage of about 10cc. After surgery, patients were treated for 1 day in PICU and ward for 3 days.

Perbedaan Respon Hemodinamik terhadap Penambahan Clonidin 1 dan 2 mcg/kgbb pada Scalp Block untuk Operasi Kraniotomi

Bacground and Objective: The addition of a levobupivacaine scalp block is effective in reducing hemodynamic responses such as blood pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate, especially when pinning, skin incisions, and durameter incisions in craniotomy. Adjuvants are often added to local anesthetics to enhance and prolong the analgesic effect of peripheral nerve blocks. Clonidine has a synergistic action with local anesthetic agents. Clonidine increases sensory and motor blocks in both peripheral and neuraxial blocks. The common dose is 2 mcg/kgbw. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of adding clonidine 2 mcg/kg and 1 mcg/kg on scalp block as craniotomy analgesic. Subjects and Methods: Study on 30 patients met the inclusion criteria. Subjects were divided into three groups, group I: scalp block with levobupivacain 0.25%, group II: scalp block plus clonidine 1 mcg/kg, group III: scalp block plus clonidine 2mcg/kg. All patients were treated with general anesthesia according to the standard then assessed their blood pressure, MAP, pulse rate before intubation, pinning, skin incision and duramater incision. Results: There was a significant difference in the addition of clonidine with the control group, especially in the pulse and diastolic rates. Clonidine 2 mcg/kg at several times showed a significant difference compared to 1 mcg/kgbb dose. Conclusion: The clonidine addition to scalp block of levobupivacaine was effective in maintening hemodynamic responses, especially pulse rate and diastolic blood pressure.

Manajemen Anestesi pada Pasien dengan Tumor Regio Pineal yang Menjalani Kraniotomi Pengangkatan Tumor dengan Posisi Duduk

Incidence of pineal regio tumor is 0.4-1% of intracranial tumors. Its location which is buried between two cerebral hemispheres, close to brainstem and hypothalamus become a difficult challenge for the neurosurgeon. Surgery with supracerebellar approach in sitting position is the best method to access the lesion. Sitting position also facilitates the optimal visual field with minimal retractions. However, for anesthesiologist, sitting position is challenging since it has its own complexities during positioning the patient and the risk of complications. Venous air embolism is one of the main concern and if not detected early and treated appropriately would leads to cardiovascular collapse instantly. This is a case of a 38-year-old male with chief complaint of severe headache and blurred vision started 4 months before admission. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed a pineal region tumor with perifocal edema, without midline deviation. The patient underwent craniotomy tumor removal with sitting position. The procedure lasted for 10 hours and uneventful. The principle of ABCDE neuroanesthesia, sitting position and its implications, and difficult tumor location are some anesthesia considerations for this patient. A thorough preoperative evaluation, good communication and coordination between surgery and anesthesia team are needed for a smooth uneventful procedure performed in sitting position.

Kombinasi Dexmedetomidine – Sevoflurane 0,5 MAC pada Bedah Mikro Reseksi Malformasi Arteri-Vena

Arterio-venous malformation (AVM) is a rare case, particularly among young patients (<40 years old). Maintaining haemodynamic stability and anticipating massive haemorrhage during micro surgery resection of AVM are fundamental for an anaesthetist. Total Intra Venous Anesthesia using propofol is still popular to control intracranial pressure as it is easily titrated and fast acting agent (both in onset and duration). Moreover, general neuruologic evaluation soon after anesthesia terminated is an integral important component of microsurgery of brain MAV. In this case report: a 20-year-old woman suddenly lost her consciousness and left-sided motors strength. Brain angiographic revealed an AVM in right frontal lobe. Microsurgery of brain AVM resection was performed. After 5-minute-preoxygenation, anaesthetic induction was performed by using propofol, fentanyl, rocuronium, and sevoflurane. The surgery went successfully using a combination of dexmedetomidine-sevoflurane 0.5MAC. Post-anaesthesia hemodynamic of this patient was in stable and without new neurologic deficit afterward.

Manajemen Anestesi untuk Seksio Sesarea pada Pasien Eklampsia dengan Perdarahan Intrakranial

Intracranial haemorrhage in pregnancy is the leading cause of death in eclampsia patients. Hypertension, which is associated with both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, is the main feature. Definitive treatment is termination of pregnancy with cesarean section. However, it is not appropriate to start labor in an unstable mother, despite fetal distress. Once seizures can be controlled, severe hypertension is treated and hypoxia is corrected, labor may begin. The first anesthesia management goals are seizure control, blood pressure control, and prevention of increased intracranial pressure. General anesthesia is an option in the unconscious patient, or decreased consciousness with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Anesthesia is achieved with inhalation, opioids, relaxation and hyperventilation techniques carefully. In this case a 31-year-old mother, 55 kg, 36-37 weeks' gestation comes to the hospital with a decrease in consciousness and a history of seizures. Found sensorium E2M5V2, blood pressure 180/100mmHg and proteinuria 3+. Immediately, a cesarean section with general anesthesia and rapid sequence induction with fentanyl 50 mcg, propofol 100 mg and rocuronium 50 mg intravenously were performed. Post surgery the patient was treated in the ICU, head CT-Scan was performed and intracranial hemorrhage in the right temporoparietal was encountered. Management of intracranial hemorrhage was decided conservatively. The 3rd day postoperative the patient was extubated and on the 5th day the patient was transferred with E3M5V2 sensorium.
