Anaesthesia Concepts in Patients with Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia Undergoing Ophthalmic Surgery-A Retrospective Cohort Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4710. [PMID: 39200852 PMCID: PMC11355925 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) belongs to the group of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. Anaesthesia for patients with CPEO may be associated with an increased risk due to known drug effects on mitochondrial metabolism. Therefore, the aim of this analysis was to evaluate anaesthesiological concepts in patients with CPEO requiring ophthalmic surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective, monocentric cohort analysis of eleven patients with CPEO undergoing ophthalmic surgery either with general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia in a German university hospital from January 2012 to February 2022. RESULTS A total of twelve ophthalmic surgery procedures were performed in eleven adult patients with CPEO. Six patients underwent surgery after receiving local anaesthesia (LA cohort). Five patients underwent six surgical procedures under general anaesthesia (GA cohort). In five cases within the GA cohort, propofol and remifentanil were used for the maintenance of anaesthesia. In one case, balanced anaesthesia with desflurane and remifentanil was used. The median duration of general anaesthesia was 37.5 min (range, 25-65 min). Patients stayed in the recovery room for a median of 48.5 min (range, 35-70 min). All patients were discharged on the first postoperative day. No relevant complications occurred in either the LA or GA cohort. CONCLUSION Both local and general anaesthesia are feasible concepts for patients with CPEO undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Propofol, at least with a short duration (less than one hour) of use, appears to be a feasible hypnotic drug in CPEO patients.

Abstract
SLC25A46 mutation is a newly recognized mitochondrial mutation causing neurological and muscular abnormalities. We describe a first-ever report of the anesthetic management of a seven-year-old boy with an SLC25A46 mutation during a major orthopedic procedure. The patient was nonverbal and presented with cerebral visual impairment, torticollis, and lower extremity contractures. Because of his new diagnosis of mitochondrial disease and history of delayed awakening after anesthesia, we performed general anesthesia with sevoflurane, a low-dose ketamine infusion, and small doses of fentanyl while avoiding propofol and maintaining normoglycemia and normothermia. No postoperative complications were noted during the recovery period.

Abstract
Propofol-related infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare, yet life-threatening sequelae to prolonged administration of the anesthetic propofol in mechanically intubated patients. The condition is characterized by progressive multi-system organ failure and eventual mortality; of note, the predominant characteristics of PRIS involve but are not limited to cardiovascular impairment and collapse, metabolic and lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, and acute renal failure. While potent or extended doses of propofol have been found to be the primary precipitating factor of this condition, others such as age, critical illness, steroid therapy, and hyperlipidemia have been discovered to play a role as well. This bibliometric analysis was done to reflect the current relevance and understanding of PRIS in recent literature. The SCOPUS database was utilized to conduct a search for articles with keywords "propofol infusion syndrome" and "propofol syndrome" from February 24, 2001, until April 16, 2023, with parameters for article title, citation number, citation per year, author, institution, publishing journal, and country of origin. PRIS was first defined in 1990, just a year after its approval by the Food and Drug Administration for use as a sedative-hypnotic. Since then, interest in PRIS slowly rose up to 13 publications per year in 2013. Seven papers on the topic were published in Critical Care Medicine, six in Neurocritical Care, and four in Anesthesia. The most common institutions were Mayo Clinic, Northeastern University, and Tufts Medical Center. To our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis to evaluate the most influential publications about PRIS. A majority of the research is case-based, possibly owing to the rarity of the condition. Our research suggests that confounding factors outside the precipitating dosage of propofol may be implicated in the onset and progression of PRIS. This study could therefore bring renewed interest to the topic and lead to additional research focused on fully understanding the pathophysiology of PRIS in order to promote the development of novel diagnostics and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with neuromuscular conditions are at increased risk of suffering perioperative complications related to anaesthesia. There is currently little specific anaesthetic guidance concerning these patients. Here, we present the European Neuromuscular Centre (ENMC) consensus statement on anaesthesia in patients with neuromuscular disorders as formulated during the 259th ENMC Workshop on Anaesthesia in Neuromuscular Disorders. METHODS International experts in the field of (paediatric) anaesthesia, neurology, and genetics were invited to participate in the ENMC workshop. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase, the main findings of which were disseminated to the participants and presented during the workshop. Depending on specific expertise, participants presented the existing evidence and their expert opinion concerning anaesthetic management in six specific groups of myopathies and neuromuscular junction disorders. The consensus statement was prepared according to the AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation) reporting checklist. The level of evidence has been adapted according to the SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) grading system. The final consensus statement was subjected to a modified Delphi process. RESULTS A set of general recommendations valid for the anaesthetic management of patients with neuromuscular disorders in general have been formulated. Specific recommendations were formulated for (i) neuromuscular junction disorders, (ii) muscle channelopathies (nondystrophic myotonia and periodic paralysis), (iii) myotonic dystrophy (types 1 and 2), (iv) muscular dystrophies, (v) congenital myopathies and congenital dystrophies, and (vi) mitochondrial and metabolic myopathies. CONCLUSIONS This ENMC consensus statement summarizes the most important considerations for planning and performing anaesthesia in patients with neuromuscular disorders.

Abstract
Children with symptoms of hypotonia (reduction of postural tone of lower limbs and trunk with or without changes in phasic tone) are frequently anaesthetized for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This review outlines the underlying causes and classifications, and the anaesthesiologic pre- and peri-operative management of hypotonic children. Hypotonia may have a large range of aetiologies that be categorized into central and/or peripheral hypotonia. A multidisciplinary approach towards the (differential) diagnosis of the underlying cause of the symptoms in cooperation with a paediatrician and/or paediatric neurologist is emphasized. Anaesthetic management involves the anticipation of an increased risk in difficult airway management because of macroglossia, reduced mouth opening, obesity and limited neck mobility, which increases with age. There are no specific restrictions towards the use of intravenous or inhalational anaesthetics. Short acting opioids and hypnotics, avoiding neuromuscular blockade, and locoregional techniques are preferred. Most patients are sensitive to the cardiac and depressive effects of anaesthetics and all dystrophic myopathies are considered at risk of malignant hyperthermia. Depolarizing neuromuscular blockers are contraindicated. The use of a peripheral nerve stimulator is recommended to detect the severity of muscle relaxation before extubating. Accurate control and management of IV fluids, electrolytes and temperature is mandatory. Adequate postoperative pain treatment is essential to limit stress and metabolic alteration. Preferably a locoregional technique is used to reduce the increased risk of respiratory depression. A multidisciplinary preoperative approach taking into account the differential diagnosis of the underlying disease of the floppy child is recommended.

Abstract
A school-age boy with a complex medical history underwent a minor elective surgical procedure. Propofol was used for sedation during the procedure. The patient could not be awakened post-operatively. Laboratory findings demonstrated metabolic lactic acidosis, leukocytosis with bandemia, and transaminitis. Neuroimaging demonstrated findings that were consistent with hypoxic-ischemic or toxic-metabolic brain injury involving the bilateral basal ganglia, hippocampi, and cerebellum. The patient's condition progressively worsened over the course of the following few weeks, and brain death was confirmed by scintigraphy seven weeks later. Prompt neuroimaging in unresponsive patients with suspected propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is of critical importance in detecting neurologic injuries, excluding alternative diagnoses, and determining prognostication.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with the effects of propofol in a rat model of pain due to inflammation following subcutaneous injection with complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA). Material/Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were injected subcutaneously in the paw with CFA. Propofol or saline was administered by tail vein injection. After CFA treatment for 0 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, 4 days, 7 days, and 14 days, the behavior of the rats was assessed. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measured serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. Western blot and the quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect levels of p38MAPK and NF-κB related mRNA and proteins, including p-p38, p38, p65, p-p65, NOD-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) and caspase-1 in rat spinal cord tissues. Results Injection of CFA significantly reduced the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT), thermal withdrawal latency (TWL), and frequency responses to cold stimulation. Propofol treatment significantly reduced serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Protein expression levels of p-p38 and p-p65 were upregulated in the rat model, which were inhibited by propofol treatment. CFA injection increased the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 in the spinal cord tissues of rats, which were reduced by propofol treatment. Conclusions In a rat model of pain following subcutanous injection with CFA, propofol reduced CFA-induced pain and inhibited the inflammatory response through the p38MAPK-nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
Background Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but lethal complication of propofol use. It has been suggested that the pathological mechanism of PRIS involves mitochondrial disorder caused by propofol. Case Presentation A 24‐year‐old woman who had been diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke‐like episodes was admitted to our hospital with impaired consciousness and myoclonus. To control the non‐convulsive status epilepticus, propofol was administered. Arterial blood gas revealed metabolic acidosis, and creatinine kinase was elevated. The patient was diagnosed with PRIS. We treated her with interruption of propofol. She required mechanical ventilation for 25 days. After rehabilitation, she recovered and was discharged. Conclusion Mitochondrial disorder is a risk factor for PRIS. It is important for clinicians to be aware that mitochondrial disorder is a risk factor for PRIS, especially under conditions of critical illness and status epilepticus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cognitive impairment due to cerebral palsy experience pain more often than healthy peers and frequently require diagnostic and therapeutic painful procedures. Analgesia and procedural sedation outside the operating room are often required, but they may not adequately be provided because of the inability to accurately recognize and classify the state of pain and for the perceived higher risk of complications. DATA SOURCES We reviewed the available literature to highlight the specific risk factors and area of criticism, that should be further improved. We searched the Cochrane Library, Medline, Pubmed from 1987 to September 2018 using key words such as 'cerebral palsy and children and pain' or 'sedation and cerebral palsy and children'. RESULTS While different pain scales are useful in recognizing pain expressions, anxiety scales are not available. Moreover, studies on non-pharmacological techniques do not always have comparable results. Several risk factors, from anatomic abnormalities to liver and kidney functioning, should be kept in mind before proceeding with sedation. CONCLUSIONS Large trials are needed to assess the impact of non-pharmacological techniques and to evaluate which pain control strategy (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) should be used in different settings.

Propofol infusion syndrome: a structured literature review and analysis of published case reports. Br J Anaesth 2019; 122:448-459. [PMID: 30857601 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2018.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 158] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2018] [Revised: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 12/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare, potentially fatal condition first described in children in the 1990s and later reported in adults. We provide a narrative review of what is currently known about propofol infusion syndrome, including a structured analysis of all published case reports; child and adult cases were analysed separately as propofol is no longer used for long-term sedation in children. The review contains an update on current knowledge of the pathophysiology of this condition along with recommendations for its diagnosis, prevention, and management. We reviewed 108 publications documenting 168 cases of propofol infusion syndrome. We evaluated clinical features and analysed factors influencing mortality in child and adult cases using separate multivariate analysis models. We used separate multiple linear regression models to analyse relationships between cumulative dose of propofol and the number of features seen and organ systems involved. Lipidaemia, fever, and hepatomegaly occurred more frequently in children than in adults, whilst rhabdomyolysis and hyperkalaemia were more frequent in adults. Mortality from propofol infusion syndrome is independently associated with fever and hepatomegaly in children, and electrocardiogram changes, hypotension, hyperkalaemia, traumatic brain injury, and a mean propofol infusion rate >5 mg kg-1 h-1 in adults. The cumulative dose of propofol was associated with an increased number of clinical features and the number of organ systems involved in adult cases only. Clinicians should consider propofol infusion syndrome in cases of unexplained metabolic acidosis, ECG changes, and rhabdomyolysis. We recommend early consideration of continuous haemofiltration in the management of propofol infusion syndrome.

Abstract
There are indications that preexisting mitochondrial disorders or beta-oxidation defects predispose for propofol infusion syndrome. This review aimed at investigating if propofol infusion syndrome occurs exclusively in patients with mitochondrial disorder and if propofol can unmask a mitochondrial disorder. Propofol infusion syndrome has been reported in genetically confirmed mitochondrial disorder patients. In addition, muscle biopsy of patients with propofol infusion syndrome revealed complex IV or complex II deficiency. In animal studies propofol disrupted the electron flow along the respiratory chain and decreased complex I, complex II, and complex III of the respiratory chain. In addition, propofol disrupted the permeability transition pore and reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential. In conclusion, propofol is mitochondrion-toxic and mitochondrial disorder patients should not receive propofol in high dosages over a prolonged period of time. Short-term application of propofol should be safe even in mitochondrial disorder patients. Not only does propofol infusion syndrome occur in mitochondrial disorder patients, but mitochondrial disorder patients are likely at higher risk to develop propofol infusion syndrome. Patients who develop propofol infusion syndrome should be screened for mitochondrial disorder. Propofol infusion syndrome is preventable if risk factors are thoroughly assessed, and if long-term propofol is avoided in patients at risk for propofol infusion syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Clinically identified myopathies are frequently a consequence of medication toxicities. However, recognizing drug-induced myopathies is sometimes difficult. Developing a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of drug-induced muscle toxicity will promote enhanced awareness and recognition, and improved management of these syndromes. RECENT FINDINGS The adverse impact of certain drugs on muscle metabolism, muscle cell atrophy, and myocyte apoptosis is increasingly clear. Glucocorticoids impair glucose handling and directly promote protein catabolism. Statins impair mitochondrial function and alter intracellular signaling proteins, which can lead to myocyte apoptosis. Alternatively, statins can induce an autoimmune necrotizing myositis. Several medications impair autophagy, thus limiting access to the needed glycogen stores. SUMMARY This review provides an overview of the main underlying mechanisms of drug-induced myopathies. These myopathies will most often be related to a drug's ability to alter metabolism and protein balance, induce necrosis, or impair autophagy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this statement is to review the literature regarding mitochondrial disease and to provide recommendations for optimal diagnosis and treatment. This statement is intended for physicians who are engaged in diagnosing and treating these patients. METHODS The Writing Group members were appointed by the Mitochondrial Medicine Society. The panel included members with expertise in several different areas. The panel members utilized a comprehensive review of the literature, surveys, and the Delphi method to reach consensus. We anticipate that this statement will need to be updated as the field continues to evolve. RESULTS Consensus-based recommendations are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial disease. CONCLUSION The Delphi process enabled the formation of consensus-based recommendations. We hope that these recommendations will help standardize the evaluation, diagnosis, and care of patients with suspected or demonstrated mitochondrial disease.

Propofol compared with isoflurane inhibits mitochondrial metabolism in immature swine cerebral cortex. J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2014; 34:514-21. [PMID: 24398942 PMCID: PMC3948133 DOI: 10.1038/jcbfm.2013.229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2013] [Revised: 11/13/2013] [Accepted: 11/23/2013] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Anesthetics used in infants and children are implicated in the development of neurocognitive disorders. Although propofol induces neuroapoptosis in developing brain, the underlying mechanisms require elucidation and may have an energetic basis. We studied substrate utilization in immature swine anesthetized with either propofol or isoflurane for 4 hours. Piglets were infused with 13-Carbon-labeled glucose and leucine in the common carotid artery to assess citric acid cycle (CAC) metabolism in the parietal cortex. The anesthetics produced similar systemic hemodynamics and cerebral oxygen saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy. Compared with isoflurane, propofol depleted ATP and glycogen stores. Propofol decreased pools of the CAC intermediates, citrate, and α-ketoglutarate, while markedly increasing succinate along with decreasing mitochondrial complex II activity. Propofol also inhibited acetyl-CoA entry into the CAC through pyruvate dehydrogenase, while promoting glycolytic flux with marked lactate accumulation. Although oxygen supply appeared similar between the anesthetic groups, propofol yielded a metabolic phenotype that resembled a hypoxic state. Propofol impairs substrate flux through the CAC in the immature cerebral cortex. These impairments occurred without systemic metabolic perturbations that typically accompany propofol infusion syndrome. These metabolic abnormalities may have a role in the neurotoxity observed with propofol in the vulnerable immature brain.
