Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug induced acute pancreatitis is a difficult diagnosis for clinicians. We previously published an "Evidence-Based Classification System" on Drug-Induced Acute Pancreatitis widely used by clinicians to assist in the identification of drugs. Unfortunately, this prior analysis based only on published case reports has been misunderstood. The prior review did not include studies with higher evidentiary value, such as randomized trials, case-control studies, and/or pharmacoepidemiologic studies. The use of the prior classification system has led to many patients being inappropriately labeled as having drug-induced acute pancreatitis. We now propose a "Revised" Evidence- Based Classification System for the purpose of determining which drugs cause acute pancreatitis based on the Grading of Recommendations, Development, and Evaluation criteria. METHODS A search of the English Language literature was performed to identify all case reports with medication and/or drug induced acute pancreatitis. We divided the drugs implicated as causing acute pancreatitis into four groups based on the quality of evidence as defined by GRADE quality parameters. RESULTS Although 141 drugs were identified in the literature as causing acute pancreatitis, only 106 drugs published in the literature as causing acute pancreatitis were high quality case reports. Only 3 drugs had evidence as causing acute pancreatitis from randomized controlled clinical trials, including 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine. DISCUSSION The vast majority of drugs implicated as causing acute pancreatitis in the literature have low or very low quality of evidence supporting those claims.

Severe necrotizing pancreatitis immediately after non-abdominal surgery under general anesthesia with propofol. Clin J Gastroenterol 2021; 14:1798-1803.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatitis is a relatively rare disease and is poorly recognized. Herein, we present a case of necrotizing pancreatitis that developed immediately after non-abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. In this report, 4 h after thyroidectomy under general anesthesia using propofol, the patient developed upper abdominal pain and was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis with extensive pancreatic necrosis. Immediately after the diagnosis, the patient received appropriate treatment, and acute pancreatitis was improved. Subsequently, the patient has the formation of non-infectious giant walled-off necrosis and remained in good condition without additional treatment for 1.5 years after pancreatitis onset. In this case report, our detailed causative search suggested that propofol administration could be the cause of this pancreatitis. Propofol-induced pancreatitis is extremely rare but develops often severely, resulting in fatality. In this case, the patient developed severe acute pancreatitis within a very short time after surgery but was able to survive by immediate intervention of treatment. We suggest that clinicians should consider acute pancreatitis as a life-threatening adverse event under general anesthesia with propofol and perform thorough postoperative management.

Abstract
Propofol is a widely used sedative for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Drug-induced pancreatitis is a relatively rare disease possibly because of poor recognition. Propofol-induced pancreatitis is an extremely rare phenomenon. We present a 22-year-old healthy man who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy with propofol as a sedative. Soon after, he developed acute upper gastrointestinal symptoms and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. His prolonged hospital course was complicated with necrotizing pancreatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and other end-organ damages. We hope to increase awareness of a life-threatening adverse event of a commonly used anesthetic such as propofol.

The Effects of Propofol Anesthesia on Lipid Profile and Some Biochemical Indices in Cats. Top Companion Anim Med 2020; 41:100451. [PMID: 32823152 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcam.2020.100451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2020] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate lipid profile (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and VLDL), pancreas (lipase and amylase), liver (AST, ALT, and ALP), blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, sodium and potassium function indicators in cats undergoing two different durations of anesthesia with propofol. Ten adult female cats were randomly divided into two groups (n= 5) and anaesthetized with propofol 1% (induction: 8 mg/kg; infusion: 0.3 mg/kg/min) for either 45 or 90 minutes. Blood samples were collected at predetermined intervals up to 72 hours later. Comparison of the measured variables between treatments did not show significant differences. Triglyceride and cholesterol levels showed significant increase after induction of anesthesia (P < .05). The highest triglyceride and cholesterol values were recorded at 6 and 24 hours. HDL was lower while LDL and VLDL were higher at several time points after anesthesia (P < .05). Higher values of lipase, ALT and AST were detected after induction (P < .05). All the observed alterations were within normal ranges. In conclusion, propofol anesthesia was associated with some changes in lipid profile, as well as pancreatic and liver function indices, which should be considered in clinical situations. It seems that in the absence of pre- or co-existing disturbances, induction and maintenance of anesthesia with propofol did not carry additional risk to cats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A current assessment of case reports of possible drug-induced pancreatitis is needed. We systematically reviewed the case report literature to identify drugs with potential associations with acute pancreatitis and the burden of evidence supporting these associations. METHODS A protocol was developed a priori (PROSPERO CRD42017060473). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and additional sources to identify cases of drug-induced pancreatitis that met accepted diagnostic criteria of acute pancreatitis. Cases caused by multiple drugs or combination therapy were excluded. Established systematic review methods were used for screening and data extraction. A classification system for associated drugs was developed a priori based upon the number of cases, re-challenge, exclusion of non-drug causes of acute pancreatitis, and consistency of latency. RESULTS Seven-hundred and thirteen cases of potential drug-induced pancreatitis were identified, implicating 213 unique drugs. The evidence base was poor: exclusion of non-drug causes of acute pancreatitis was incomplete or poorly reported in all cases, 47% had at least one underlying condition predisposing to acute pancreatitis, and causality assessment was not conducted in 81%. Forty-five drugs (21%) were classified as having the highest level of evidence regarding their association with acute pancreatitis; causality was deemed to be probable or definite for 19 of these drugs (42%). Fifty-seven drugs (27%) had the lowest level of evidence regarding an association with acute pancreatitis, being implicated in single case reports, without exclusion of other causes of acute pancreatitis. DISCUSSION Much of the case report evidence upon which drug-induced pancreatitis associations are based is tenuous. A greater emphasis on exclusion of all non-drug causes of acute pancreatitis and on quality reporting would improve the evidence base. It should be recognized that reviews of case reports, are valuable scoping tools but have limited strength to establish drug-induced pancreatitis associations. REGISTRATION CRD42017060473.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether best practice advisories improved sedation protocol compliance and could mitigate potential propofol-related hazardous conditions. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING Two adult ICUs at two academic medical centers that share the same sedation protocol. PATIENTS Adults 18 years old or older admitted to the ICU between January 1, 2016, and January 31, 2018, who received a continuous infusion of propofol. INTERVENTIONS Two concurrent best practice advisories built in the electronic health record as a clinical decision support tool to enforce protocol compliance with triglyceride and lipase level monitoring and mitigate propofol-related hazardous conditions. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcomes were baseline and day 3 compliance with triglyceride and lipase laboratory monitoring per protocol and time to discontinuation of propofol in the setting of triglyceride and/or lipase levels exceeding protocol cutoffs. A total of 1,394 patients were included in the study cohort (n = 700 in the pre-best practice advisory group; n = 694 in the post-best practice advisory group). In inverse probability weighted regression analyses, implementing the best practice advisory was associated with a 56.6% (95% CI, 52.6-60.9) absolute increase and a 173% relative increase (risk ratio, 2.73; 95% CI, 2.45-3.04) in baseline laboratory monitoring. The best practice advisory was associated with a 34.0% (95% CI, 20.9-47.1) absolute increase and a 74% (95% CI, 1.39-2.19) relative increase in day 3 laboratory monitoring after inverse probability weighted analyses. Among patients with laboratory values exceeding protocol cutoffs, implementation of the best practice advisory resulted in providers discontinuing propofol an average of 16.6 hours (95% CI, 4.8-28.3) sooner than pre-best practice advisory. Findings from alternate analyses using interrupted time series were consistent with the inverse probability weighted analyses. CONCLUSIONS Best practice advisories can be effectively used in ICUs to improve sedation protocol compliance and may mitigate potential propofol-related hazardous conditions. Best practice advisories should undergo continuous quality assurance and optimizations to maximize clinical utility and minimize alert fatigue.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of propofol through evaluating its interaction with nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and carbon monoxide (CO). Wistar male rats were divided in 4 groups: (1) bolus injection of propofol (1% 10 mg/mL, 100 mg/kg bw, i.p.); (2) Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; NO synthase inhibitor, 60 mg/kg bw, i.p.) + bolus injection of propofol (1% 10 mg/mL, 100 mg/kg bw, i.p.); (3) DL-propargylglycine (DL-PAG; H2S synthase inhibitor, 50 mg/kg bw, i.p.) + bolus injection of propofol (1% 10 mg/mL, 100 mg/kg bw, i.p.); (4) zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX; CO synthase inhibitor, 50 μmol/kg bw, i.p.) + bolus injection of propofol (1% 10 mg/mL, 100 mg/kg bw, i.p.). Increased levels of albumins, low-density lipoproteins, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, high-sensitivity Troponin T, and fibrinogen were found in L-NAME + propofol group. Platelet crit, platelet count, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins were elevated in ZnPPIX + propofol group. Hydrogen peroxide was increased in all groups treated with gasotransmitters inhibitors. Reduced glutathione was reduced in all groups, superoxide dismutase activity only in L-NAME + propofol. The effect of propofol on various biochemical, haematological, and oxidative stress markers may be at least in part mediated through interaction with 3 estimated gasotransmitters.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) associated with intravenous administration of propofol has been described with unknown causal relation. We therefore assessed this causality in a systematic review. Multiple databases were searched on 16 August 2017; studies were appraised and selected by two reviewers based on a priori criteria. Propofol causality was evaluated with the Naranjo scale and Badalov classification. We identified 18 studies from 11 countries with a total of 21 patients, and the majority had adequate methodological quality. The median age was 35 years (range, 4–77) and 10 (48%) were males. Overall, propofol was administrated in 8 patients as sedative along with induction/maintenance of anesthesia in 13 patients; median dose was 200 mg, with intermediate latency (1–30 days) in 14 (67%). Serum triglycerides were >1000 mg/dL in four patients. Severe AP was observed in four patients (19%). AP recurrence occurred in one out of two patients who underwent rechallenge. Mortality related to AP was 3/21(14%). Propofol was the probable cause of AP according to the Naranjo scale in 19 patients (89%). Propofol-induced AP has a probable causal relation and evidence supports Badalov class Ib. Hypertriglyceridemia is not the only mechanism by which propofol illicit AP. Propofol-induced AP was severe in 19% of patients with a mortality rate related to AP of 14%. Future research is needed to delineate whether this risk is higher if combined with other procedures that portend inherent risk of pancreatitis such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this case report is to increase the awareness of tigecycline-induced pancreatitis specifically in renal transplant patients predisposed to the condition. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman developed a donor-derived infection after kidney transplantation, resulting in a ruptured graft renal artery, followed by peritoneal drainage, blood and urine culture infections. Due to multiple drug resistance Acinetobacter baumannii cultured from the preservation fluid and blood, she was treated with tigecycline at the 8th post-transplant day combined with other antibiotics. After 15 days of tigecycline treatment, she was observed with recurrent fever and abdominal distension with a rise in pancreatic enzymes. CT scans showed acute pancreatitis with grade D on Balthazar score, no necrosis visible without contrast injection. These facts were sufficient to hint that pancreatitis was slowly becoming prominent. After withdrawal of tigecycline, CT scans showed that exudation around the pancreas were relieved, and blood amylase returned to the normal range in a week. Conclusions Clinicians should pay attention to clinical signs and symptoms and the level of serum pancreatic enzymes in order to monitor the development of pancreatitis. If necessary, abdominal CT scans should be performed regularly when given tigecycline.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Drug-induced acute pancreatitis comprises only 0.5%-2% of all cases of acute pancreatitis. Propofol is a potentially dangerous drug that can cause acute pancreatitis, but this complication is extremely rare. CASE SUMMARY A 57-year-old patient developed acute pancreatitis after a planned thyroidectomy. As the common causes of acute pancreatitis were excluded, we believe that the pancreatitis was drug-induced, in this case by a single dose of propofol administered to the patient during the surgery. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION We present a rare case of propofol-induced acute necrotising pancreatitis, which is to the best of our knowledge the first fatal case reported in an adult patient.

Abstract
The use of propofol for sedation during endoscopy has been increasing, particularly given its association with superior patient satisfaction. Propofol sedation may also allow for higher quality endoscopy exams, increased efficiency of endoscopy suites and most particularly, permit better patient compliance with colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. However, propofol is typically provided by anesthesia specialists via monitored anesthesia care, and is associated with significant economic burden. Given the increasing use of monitored anesthesia care, which adds significant costs to endoscopy, payers are likely to react with changes in payer policies. One alternative to monitored anesthesia care is non-anesthesiologist administered propofol, which due to safety concerns and a lack of reimbursement has not been widely adopted in the US.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of propofol in pediatric age group has been marred by reports of its adverse effects like hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis, although a causal relation has not yet been established. OBJECTIVES This prospective, clinical trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of short-term propofol administration on serum lipid profile and serum pancreatic enzymes in children of ASA physical status I and II aged between 1 month and 36 months. METHODS Anesthesia was induced with Propofol (1%) in the dose of 3 mg·kg(-1) intravenously and was maintained by propofol infusion (0.5%) at the rate of 12 mg·kg(-1·) h(-1) for the first 20 min and at 8 mg·kg(-1·) h(-1) thereafter. The mean dose of propofol administered was 12.02 ± 2.75 mg·kg(-1) (fat load of 120.2 ± 27.5 mg·kg(-1) ). Lipid profile, serum amylase, and lipase were measured before induction of anesthesia, at 90 min, 4 h, and finally 24 h after induction. RESULTS Serum lipase levels (P < 0.05), serum triglyceride levels (P < 0.05), and serum very low-density lipoproteins VLDL levels (P < 0.05) were raised significantly after propofol administration from baseline although remained within normal limits. Serum cholesterol levels and serum low-density lipoproteins LDL levels showed a statistically significant fall over 24 h. No significant changes in serum pancreatic amylase levels were seen (P > 0.05). None of the patients developed any clinical features of pancreatitis in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION We conclude that despite a small, transient increase in serum triglycerides and pancreatic enzymes, short-term propofol administration in recommended dosages in children of ASA status I and II aged between 1 month and 36 months does not produce any clinically significant effect on serum lipids and pancreatic enzymes.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether sedo-analgesia with alfentanyl/fentanyl, using a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump, may have positive outcomes in terms of safety, postprocedural workload, and expectations of the colonoscopist, nurse, and patients in elective colonoscopy. PATIENTS One hundred American Society of Anesthesiology physical status I and II adult patients. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized in a double-blind trial to receive either alfentanyl (n=50) or fentanyl (n=50) by PCA, and incremental doses of midazolam. MEASUREMENTS Patient expectations were assessed using hemodynamic variables, willingness to have a repeat colonoscopy in the same way, adverse events, discomfort scores, and patient/operator/nurse satisfaction associated with sedo-analgesia. RESULT All patients in both groups had adequate sedo-analgesia with high satisfaction and willingness scores. There were no serious adverse effects and except for a few events, no required medication. The total sedation times were shorter in the alfentanyl group compared with the fentanyl group. CONCLUSIONS PCA and sedation with alfentanyl and fentanyl for colonoscopy are safe, feasible, and acceptable to most patients. However, shorter sedation times make alfentanyl more attractive for postprocedural workload.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Drug-induced pancreatitis accounts for about 2% of acute pancreatitis. The aim of this study is to determine whether propofol and other medications are associated with increased risk for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted at a single tertiary care hospital. All patients who underwent ERCP from 2001 to 2004 were included. Diagnosis of acute post-ERCP pancreatitis was based on a consensus definition. RESULTS A total of 506 patients underwent ERCP. The total incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis was 7.1%. There was no significant difference in post-ERCP pancreatitis between patients who received propofol compared to patients who received midazolam and fentanyl (9.0 vs. 5.9%, p = 0.18). Patients receiving an angiotensin receptor blocker were approximately 4 times more likely to develop post-ERCP pancreatitis (OR = 4.1, 95% CI 1.6-10.9). Patients younger than 65 years and smokers also had higher risk of developing acute post-ERCP pancreatitis than those who were older than 65 years (OR = 3.9, 95% CI 1.7-9.1) and non-smokers (OR = 2.8, 95% CI 1.3-6.2). CONCLUSIONS Propofol is a safe sedative drug for ERCP without additional risk of developing acute post-ERCP pancreatitis. Use of angiotensin receptor blockers, smoking and younger age are independent risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of propofol is controversial in patients with a history of acute pancreatitis or those taking drugs, including certain chemotherapeutic drugs, that are associated with pancreatitis. METHODS To investigate this issue, we reviewed the medical records of all children who were diagnosed with pancreatitis while receiving chemotherapy for acute leukemia during a 5-year period. RESULTS A temporal relationship between propofol use and development of acute pancreatitis could not be established. CONCLUSION Propofol can be considered for general anesthesia in children who are receiving chemotherapeutic drugs that are themselves associated with acute pancreatitis or those who have a history of chemotherapy-induced pancreatitis.

Abstract
Trauma patients are twice as likely to have adverse reactions to medication as nontrauma patients. The need for medication in trauma patients is high. Surgery is often necessary, and immunosuppression and hypercoagulability may be present. Adverse drug events can be caused in part by altered pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, and polypharmacy. Medications may also have serious long-term adverse effects, which must be considered. It is not the purpose of this review article to discuss all adverse effects of all medications. This article will discuss the more common adverse effects of medications for trauma patients in the acute care setting, in the following categories: pain control, sedation, antibiotics, seizure prophylaxis in head trauma, atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism prophylaxis, hemodynamic support, adrenal insufficiency, factor VIIa.

Abstract
This study examined the incidence of hyperamylasaemia, in the absence of other plausible causes of pancreatic dysfunction, in intensive care unit (ICU) patients who received propofol. One-hundred-and-seventy-two consecutive patients of a general ICU who stayed for more than 24 hours were studied. Patients with a diagnosis consistent with elevated serum amylase levels at admission were excluded from the study, as were patients who had received medications known to raise serum amylase levels. Forty-four patients 53 +/- 20 years of age and median duration of ICU stay of five days (range two to 55) were eligible. Thirty of those, aged 54 +/- 21 years and median duration of ICU stay of five days (range two to 27) received continuous infusion of propofol for sedation (maximum dose 45 microg/kg/min). Of the 30 patients who received propofol, 16 (53%) developed hyperamylasaemia (125 to 466 IU/l) after two to nine days of continuous infusion. Liver and kidney function remained normal throughout the observation period. Of the 14 patients who did not receive propofol (aged 51 +/- 18 years), only two (14%) developed hyperamylasaemia, a significantly lower incidence (P = 0.021). Propofol infusion is associated with biochemical evidence of pancreatic injury. Amylase levels monitoring of propofol-sedated patients is warranted.

Abstract
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is an intravenous short-acting anaesthetic widely used for inducing and maintaining anaesthesia. Propofol is also being increasingly used for sedation. Beside medical use, propofol is abused for recreational purpose, mostly in medical professionals who are not informed of the risk of dependence to this compound. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of molecular, animal and clinical pharmacological data of the literature evidencing the potential for abuse and dependence of propofol.

Abstract
The diagnosis of drug-induced acute pancreatitis often is difficult to establish. Although some medications have been shown to cause acute pancreatitis with a large body of evidence, including rechallenge, some medications have been attributed as a cause of acute pancreatitis merely by a single published case report in which the investigators found no other cause. In addition, some medications reported to have caused acute pancreatitis have obvious patterns of presentation, including the time from initiation to the development of disease (latency). There also appear to be patterns in the severity of disease. After reviewing the literature, we have classified drugs that have been reported to cause acute pancreatitis based on the published weight of evidence for each agent and the pattern of clinical presentation. Based on our analysis of the level of evidence, 4 classes of drugs could be identified. Class I drugs include medications in which at least 1 case report described a recurrence of acute pancreatitis with a rechallenge with the drug. Class II drugs include drugs in which there is a consistent latency in 75% or more of the reported cases. Class III drugs include drugs that had 2 or more case reports published, but neither a rechallenge nor a consistent latency period. Class IV drugs were similar to class III drugs, but only 1 case report had been published. Our analysis allows an evidence-based approach when suspecting a drug as causing acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
The authors prospectively assessed intraindividual variability in propofol dosage for induction of sedation in repetitive procedures in children with malignancies. A total of 80 procedures were performed in 24 children. Primary outcome measure was the intraindividual propofol dose required to achieve adequate sedation. Intraindividual variability in propofol dosage required to achieve adequate sedation was 0.0-2.2 mg.kg-1. Twenty-five percent of the patients had a dose range of 0.0-0.5 mg x kg-1; 37.5%, >0.5-1.0 mg x kg-1; and 37.5% >1.0-2.2 mg x kg-1. Due to remarkable intraindividual differences, propofol dosage should be titrated toward the desired level of sedation.

Abstract
Glycogen storage disorder type 1A (GSD 1A) is an inherited disorder of glycogen metabolism characterized by fasting hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, hyperuricemia, and hyperlipidemia. These children have a higher risk of developing pancreatitis because of hypertriglyceridemia. Drug-induced pancreatitis accounts for a small proportion of cases of pancreatitis. The mechanism of drug-induced pancreatitis include hypersensitivity, direct toxic injury or indirectly by inducing hypertriglyceridemia. Propofol is often the drug of choice for induction of anesthesia in ambulatory surgical procedures. There are various reports in the literature describing pancreatitis induced by propofol. We present a 4-year-old girl with GSD 1A, who required tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy under general anesthesia. She developed acute pancreatitis in the postoperative period. Propofol was used as a general anesthetic and the postoperative incidence of pancreatitis is discussed.

Abstract
The incidence of a drug-induced pancreatitis is rare and so far more than 85 different drugs have been reported to have induced pancreatitis. Some case reports consider a relationship between propofol and acute pancreatitis. However, in these cases a number of different drugs were coadministered, thus preventing a clear causal link being established. We report a case of a drug-induced acute pancreatitis that was most likely triggered by a single dosage of propofol. It occurred in a young girl who underwent elective magnetic resonance imaging. She developed pancreatitis within hours after exposure to propofol. Other possible triggers, e.g. gallstones or infection were ruled out. Physicians should consider pancreatitis as a potentially life-threatening adverse event associated with propofol sedation, which is nowadays extensively used.

Abstract
This prospective, clinical trial evaluated the effects of short-term propofol administration on triglyceride levels and serum pancreatic enzymes in children undergoing sedation for magnetic resonance imaging. Laboratory parameters of 40 children, mean age (SD; range) 67 (66; 4-178) months undergoing short-term sedation were assessed before and 4 h after having received propofol. Mean (SD) propofol loading dose was 2.2 (1.1) mg.kg(-1) followed by continuous propofol infusion of 6.9 (0.9) mg.kg(-1).h(-1). Serum lipase levels (p = 0.035) and serum triglyceride levels (p = 0.003) were raised significantly after propofol administration but remained within normal limits. No significant changes in serum pancreatic-amylase levels were seen (p = 0.127). In two (5%) children, pancreatic enzymes and in four (10%) children triglyceride levels were raised above normal limits; however, no child showed clinical symptoms of pancreatitis. We conclude that even short-term propofol administration with standard doses of propofol may have a significant effect on serum triglyceride and pancreatic enzyme levels in children.

Abstract
A 35-year-old man developed two episodes of postoperative pancreatitis. The first one occurred after knee surgery and the second one 6 years after surgery for excision of haemorrhoids. Induction of anaesthesia associated propofol 200 mg and sufentanil 15 microg. Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane administered through a laryngeal mask. The possible association between the drugs used during anaesthesia and the postoperative pancreatitis is discussed.
