Abstract

Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but fatal disease. It was occured mostly after high dose of propofol infusions for long times. Metabolic acidosis, hypotension, myoglobinuria, elevated muscle and liver enzymes, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest are common manifestations of the syndrome. This case report concluded a mild type of PRIS which was presented after low dose (25–50 mcg/kg/min) infusion for long time. In this case significant metabolic acidosis, hypotension and arrhythmias were not detected during drug infusion. Syndrome was manifested with only significantly elevated AST, ALT, CK, CKMB, LDH levels. Persistence of these findings during propofol infusion without patient’s further clinical impairments defined as mild type of PRIS. In addition, the improvements in the biochemical parameters deteriorated after the drug was discontinued proved the validity of our diagnosis.

Yoğun Bakımda Hafif Şiddetli Bir Propofol İnfüzyon Sendromu

Abstract

Propofol infüzyon sendromu (PRİS) nadir ama ölümcül bir hastalıktır. Bu sendrom çoğunlukla ilacın yüksek dozda uzun süreli infüzyonundan sonra oluşur. Metabolik asidoz, hipotansiyon, miyoglobinüri, artmış karaciğer ve kas enzimleri, kardiyak aritmiler ve kalp durması sendromun genel özellikleridir. Bu olgu sunumunda uzun süreli düşük doz (25–50 mcg/kg/dk) ilaç infüzyonundan sonra ortaya çıkan hafif tipte bir PRİS tartışılmıştır. Bu olguda ilaç infüzyonu esnasında ciddi metabolik asidoz, hipotansiyon yada aritmi gözlenmemiştir. Sadece AST, ALT, CK, CKMB, LDH düzeylerinde artış saptanmıştır. Propofol infüzyonu boyunca hastanın hiç klinik durumunda bozulma olmadan sadece bahsedilen parametrelerdeki bozukluğun devam etmesi olguyu hafif tipte bir PRİS olarak tanımlamamıza neden oldu. Ek olarak ilacın kesilmesi sonrası bozulan kimyasal parametrelerdeki düzelmeler teşhisimizin doğruluğunu da kanıtlamış oldu.
