《Part 2》Discussion Topic: Anesthesia in Cerebral Palsy J. Nolan, G.A. Chalkiads, J. Low, C.A. Olesch and T.C.K. Brown. Anaesthesia and pain management in cerebral palsy. Anaesthesia, 2000; 55: 32-41
Cerebral Palsy ‧Non-progressive disorder of motion and posture. ‧CP is a result of an injury to the developing brain during the antenatal, perinatal, or postnatal period. ‧Clinical manifestation relate to the area affected. ‧CP is the leading cause of childhood motor disability in developed country. ‧Such disabilities include cognitive impairment, sensory loss, seizures, communication and behavioral disturbances.
Etiology of Cerebral Palsy Premature: ‧Periventricular hemorrhage Periventricular leucomalacia ‧In spastic diplegia type Term baby: ‧Antenatal infection ‧Thyroid disease ‧Neuronal migration disorder Postnatal causes: ‧Meningitis, viral encephalitis, hydrocephalus, trauma, etc.
Gastrointestinal Problems Gastro-esophageal reflux: Esophageal dysmobility、LES abnormal、 Spinal deformity Salivary drooling: Impaired swallowing or tongue thrust and poor head control Drooling Tx:Anticholinergics MalnutritionFailure to thrive: Poor chewing and swallowingpre-operative nutrition support is needed. Electrolyte imbalance & Associated anemia
Respiratory Problems Pulmonary aspiration from reflux Recurrent respiratory infections Chronic lung disease Pre-operative physiotherapy、antibiotics、 bronchodilators may be required. Scoliosis: Cardiopulmonary compromise Others: Dental caries、loose teeth、temporomandibular joint dysfunction、tongue thrusting oral bite & overjet may be needed.
Epilepsy ‧Common in spastic hemiplegia ‧Tonic-clonic seizures ‧Complex-partial seizures Normal anticonvulsant therapy should be continued up to and including the day of surgery.
Visual deficits Visual abnormalities: ‧40% of children with CP ‧Prematurity (1) Retinopathy of prematurityvisual impairment (2) Oculomotor problemsStrabismusAmblyopia (3) Visual field defect (4) Cortical blindness
Behavioral & Communication Problems Intellectual disability ‧2/3 children with CP ‧Learning problemsCommunication concern Attention deficit disorders ‧In higher functioning children ‧Self-injurious behaviors Depression and emotion problems ‧Common adolescent problems
Premedication • Sedativesto reduce anxiety and spasm during induction • Antacids • Local anesthetic cream at puncture site • AnticonvulsantCarbamazepine and sodium valproate • AntispasmodicsBenzodiazepine、Baclofen to reduce muscle toneClonidine、Botulinum neurotoxin • AnticholinergicsAtropine (hyperthermia)、Neostygmine、Edrophonium • Antidepressant TCA、MAOI
Peri-operative management • Have primary carers during induction • Vascular access may be difficult • Airway maintenance • Anti-emetics • Careful positioning • Drug responses may vary • Latex allergy has been reported • Intra-operative hypothermia • Standard monitoring
Airway maintenance • Excessive secretions, A concern or a history of gastro-oesophageal reflux • Tracheal tube size selection should be based on their age as this usually provides the most appropriate fit.
Drug responses • Resistance to non-depolarising muscle relaxants • Reduced MAC relative to normal controls • Most anaesthetic agents are anticonvulsants
Patients with upper motor neuron disease are resistant to NDMR. • Moorthy SS, Krishna G, Dierdorf SF. Resistance to vecuronium in patients with cerebral palsy. Anesthesia and Analgesia 1991; 73: 275-7
An increase number of junctional and extrajunctional acetylcholine receptors • Immobilization with muscle atrophy • Concomitant administration of phenytoin and phenobarbital • Drug interactions: • increased metabolism of the muscle relaxant via hepatic enzyme • decreased sensitivity of muscle receptors to the MR • increased numbers of receptors • increased muscle end-plate cholineasterase activity
Children with CP and severe mental retardation may require lower concentration of inhalational anaesthetics than healthy children. • Frei FJ, Haemmerle MH, Brunner R, Kern C.Minimum alveolar concentration for halothane in children with cerebral palsy and severe mental retardation. Anaesthesia 1997; 52: 1056-60
Elevated pain threshold, decreased central pain perception • Lower motor neuron more sensitive to inhalational anaesthetics • Children with CP had significantly lower MAC values whether they took anticonvulsant drugs or not.
Emergence from anaesthesia may be delayed • Hypothermia • Residual volatile anaesthetic agents
Postoperative chest Physiotherapy • Drooling • Poor cough • Recurrent respiratory infections • Impaired clearance of secretions
Irritability on emergence from anaesthesia is common • Pain • Urinary retention • Unfamiliar environment
Maintain anticonvulsant / baclofen • Long half-lives • IV or rectal route • Pre-operative referral
Children with CP are prone to constipation • Reduced mobility • Reduced fluid intake • Undiagnosed gut mobility problems
