Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A artrite reumatoide (AR) é uma doença inflamatória crônica e de etiologia desconhecida. Os pacientes com AR são reconhecidos como pessoas com redução na expectativa de vida, em comparação com a população em geral. As doenças reumáticas são numerosas e ocorrem com alta variabilidade; algumas são desenvolvidas rapidamente; outras, cronicamente, provocando incapacidades durante toda a vida. Os riscos anestésicos, em desordens osteoarticulares, envolvem, além das deformidades mecânicas causadas pela doença, os sistemas cardiovascular, respiratório, renal e digestivo. CONTEÚDO: A proposta da presente revisão foi levantar a importância das fases da doença em processo, que podem influenciar no controle da anestesia antes, durante e após a cirurgia, destacando a experiência dos autores em uma avaliação retrospectiva dos casos de pacientes portadores de artrite reumatoide juvenil (ARJ) submetidos a próteses ortopédicas, com ênfase para as técnicas de intubação. CONCLUSÕES: Pacientes com artrite reumatoide podem apresentar um bom número de problemas complexos para o anestesiologista. Isso requer uma cuidadosa avaliação pré-operatória; a anestesia requer experiência com a técnica e o cuidado pós-operatório deve ser criteriosamente escolhido para atender à necessidade específica do paciente. O procedimento demanda efetiva comunicação entre cirurgião, reumatologista e anestesiologista, para que cada membro do grupo multidisciplinar contribua com sua experiência, visando a um melhor benefício ao paciente.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It is known that RA patients have a reduced life expectancy when compared with the general population. Rheumatic diseases are numerous and occur with high variability; some of them develop very rapidly while others occur chronically provoking disability throughout life. Anesthetic risks in osteoarticular disorders involve not only the mechanical deformations caused by the disease, but also the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and digestive systems. CONTENTS: The purpose of this review was to stress the importance of stages in disease process that may affect anesthesia control before, during, and after surgery, highlighting the authors' experience in a retrospective review of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) undergoing placement of orthopedic prosthesis with emphasis on intubation techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Rheumatoid arthritis patients can present a number of complex problems for the anesthesiologist. This requires careful preoperative evaluation; anesthesia requires experience with the technique; and postoperative care should be judiciously chosen to meet the specific needs of the patient. The procedure requires effective communication among surgeon, rheumatologist and anesthesiologist so each member of the multidisciplinary team can contribute with his/her expertise in order to better benefit the patient.
