PROPOFOL INFUSION SYNDROME • WHAT IS IT • WHO IS AT RISK • WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE NECESSARY • WHEN IS THE DIAGNOSIS MADE • WHEN SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED • WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG TO FIGURE THIS OUT
PROPOFOL INFUSION SYNDROME • SUDDEN ONSET OF MARKED BRADYCARDIA, -RESITANT TO TREATMENT, -PROGRESSING TO COMPLETE HEART BLOCK • LIPEMIC PLASMA • CLINICALLY ENLARGED LIVER • METABOLIC ACIDOSIS WITH A BASE DEFICIT OF > 10 MMOL/L ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION • RHABDOMYOLYSIS OR MYOGLOBINURIA 1 1 Holzki,J, Aring,C, Gillor,A. Pediatric Anesth 2004.14:265-270.
PRIS • Propofol marketed in the USA since 11/1989. • PRIS has been described in both children and adult patients sedated with propofol. • FIRST CASE REPORTS- 1992 2Wysowski,D,Pollock,M. Anesth 2006: 105:1047-51.
FDA Investigation of Deaths associated with Propofol • Reviewed reports of death with propofol as the suspect drug: pediatric pt(≤ 16y) and adults(>16y) for non-procedural sedation. • Time period= Nov 1989-Apr 2005. • Strict definition: • Metabolic acidosis and/or rhabdomyolysis with progressive cardiac failure US deaths for Nonprocedural sedation reported to the FDA • 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.
Deaths reported to the FDA • 21 deaths ≤ 16yo (1993-2004) • 68 deaths ≥ 16yo (1989-2004) • Exclusions: • 7 children receiving propofol for indications other than sedation • 90 adult reports excluded: 89 were during anesthesia and 1 medical error/overdose 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.

Indications for sedation Children Adults 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.
PROPOFOL INFUSION SYNDROME • Propofol= Ideal PICU/ICU sedative • Hemodynamic stability • Lack of accumulation • Lack of withdrawal
PRIS Most Prominent Features Children • 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.
PRIS Most Prominent Features Adults • 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.
PRIS • Common factors • Higher doses • Higher concentrations • Longer duration
PRIS • US Product labeling(PDR) • “Diprivan is not indicated for use in pediatric intensive care unit sedation because the safety of this regimen has not been established.” 3 Wysowski, DK, Pollack,ML. Anesth 2007; 107: 176.(US FDA)
PRIS • Syndrome • Recognized in a retrospective cohort study of discharge diagnoses and medical records of 227 head injured adult patients age 16-55y admitted to INCU in The Netherlands between 1996-1999. • 2 Wysowski,DK, Pollock,ML. Anesth 2006; 105: 1047-51.
Time Line • 1989- Propofol released in US 11/1989 • 1990- Danish Side Effect Committee- issued a warning after 2 yo girl developed hypotension, hepatomegaly and multiorgan failure associated with propofol infusion 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508.
Time Line • 1992 - Parke et al. Reported death in 5 children receiving propofol. (3 were disputed). • Similarities: • Increasing acidosis associated with bradycardia and progressive cardiac failure unresponsive to resuscitation • All had lipemic blood • No evidence of viral myocarditis at autopsy(3/5) 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508. 6 Park TJ, Stevens JE, Rice AS,et al. BMJ 1992; 305: 613-616.
Time Line • 10 yr experience: • 79 pt admitted to PICU for croup and long term ventilation • NO DEATHS OR SERIOUS ILLNESSES 6 Park TJ, Stevens JE, Rice AS,et al. BMJ 1992; 305: 613-616.
Time Line • The Committee on Safety and Medicines (UK) and Astra-Zeneca issued serious adverse warnings about the use in PICU for sedation. • 1992- FDA Advisory Committee (Anesthetic and Life Support Drugs) - no direct link between these deaths and propofol. 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508.
Time Line • Since this time there have been at least 10 more reported cases in children with acidosis and arrhythmias( 7/10 died, 2/3 survivors treated with hemodialysis. 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508.
Time line • 2001 FDA, Canadian Health Protection Board issued a notice- strict adherence to approved indications for propofol. • Included was a letter from Astra-Zeneca informing users of the FDA findings that there may be serious safety concerns regarding the use of propofol for sedation in critically ill children. 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508.
Unpublished FDA multicenter randomized controlled trial #0859IL-0068. • 327 pediatric ICU patients • Comparing 3 regimens: • 1% Propofol • 2% Propofol • “Standard sedative drugs” 4 Withington DE, Decell MK, AL Ayed, T. Pediat Anesth 2004;14:505-508.

Case Report • 2yo boy PICU s/p shot in the head with an air gun pellet. • Intubated and ventilated for right sided cerebral edema and rim of subdural blood. • Sedated with propofol rate of 4-5.4 mg/kg/h. over 72 h. • Day 4 • oliguria, increase in K+,BUN, Cr and then sudden, persistent bradycardia(HR= 28). • Propofol stopped, trans-venous pacer placed, restored HR but had persistent acidosis. • Diagnosis: PRIS- started dialysis. Complete recovery. 5 Wolf A,Weir P, Segar P et al. Lancet 2001; 357: 606.
What should we do • High index of suspicion • > 48h propofol sedation • Turn off the propofol • Labs: • ABG • Triglycerides • Lactate level
What to do • Hemodynamic maintenance • Pressors • Transvenous pacing • Adequate oxygenation • Increasing Lipemia should not be considered benign • Add sugar to IV fluids • Hemodialysis
Who should not receive Propofol for Non-procedural sedation • Mitochondrial disease • Neuromuscular disease
