Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A distrofia muscular de Duchenne é uma afecção recessiva ligada ao cromossomo X, geralmente diagnosticada na infância, acentuando-se progressivamente até agravar a função respiratória. O objetivo deste relato é apresentar um caso de um paciente com distrofia muscular de Duchenne diagnosticada há 2 anos, submetido à postectomia, sob anestesia geral com cetamina S. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente com 9 anos de idade com Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne diagnosticada há 2 anos, submetido à anestesia geral com levo-cetamina (1,5 mg.kg-1), por via venosa, sob ventilação espontânea assistida manualmente por sistema de Baraka (Mapleson A) e bloqueio peniano com bupivacaína a 0,5% (25 mg). Foram usados monitores de pressão arterial não invasiva, oximetria de pulso, cardioscopia e temperatura esofagiana. No decorrer da cirurgia, o caso evoluiu sem intercorrências, sendo que no período pós-operatório o paciente apresentou alguns episódios de vômitos sem outras alterações significativas. Permaneceu internado por 24 horas, tendo alta hospitalar assintomático. CONCLUSÕES: A avaliação pré-anestésica cuidadosa, o uso de monitorização adequada e medicações que não predisponham o aparecimento de complicações tornam seguro o procedimento em pacientes portadores de Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne e seu pós-operatório.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy is an X-linked recessive disorder, generally diagnosed in childhood, which progressively worsens to degenerate respiratory function. This report aimed at presenting the case of a patient with Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy diagnosed 2 years before, submited to postectomy under general anesthesia with ketamine S. CASE REPORT: Male patient, 9 years old, with Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy diagnosed 2 years before, submitted to general anesthesia with intravenous levo-ketamine (1.5 mg.kg-1), under spontaneous ventilation manually assisted by Mapleson A Baraka system and penile block with 25 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine. Monitoring consisted of non invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardioscopy and esophageal temperature. There were no incidents during surgery, and after surgery patient had a few vomiting episodes, without other significant complications. Patient remained in hospital for 24 hours and was discharged asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: Very careful pre-anesthetic evaluation, adequate monitoring and drugs not predisposing to complications make surgery and postoperative period safe for Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy patients.
