Have you ever wanted a baby? Have you got one? . #pregnancy: one of a fertile woman most important moments. Being conscious of a new life growing inside you, feeling the power of it, being the bearer of life, those are only a few terms to describe this incredible force! Yet, it's also complicated, especially for me. Since I was diagnosed with #PH it became a risky business to get pregnant. Due to high blood pressure in my lungs and my heart, if I was to get pregnant I would draw a coin between loosing my life and keep on living. 50-50%. That's the probability for us women, PH bearer, to make it out of a pregnancy. Not to mention the child, who will, in the best case, have PH too and have to grow with it. . ➡️ Folks, what I'm trying to say is: get yourself checked! 📣 A simple #ecocardiography could save your lives!! Or the lives of those you love! It's sufficient for a good cardiologist to get suspicious and run you through a series of #exams. 🙏🏻 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #camelpose or #ustrasana Yogamat by @liforme Leggings by @liquidoactive Top by @inspiritcollective #pregnant #womanempowerment #baby #newborn #getyourselfchecked #dontriskit #igyogacommunity #igyogafamily #acceptfear #accepteverything #pulmunaryhypertension https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeGC0hijjE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hs11rb7ziebb

GALTx eNews: Leia's Heart Of Gold!

Leia joined the GALT family in October 2018 when the Mansfield Animal Control Society found her running stray. She is not yet two years old and only weighs about 40 pounds. Almost immediately, we knew she needed more help than most hounds. 

Leia's foster family observed that she coughed a lot and that she was a picky eater. Then, during Leia's initial veterinary evaluation, Dr. Christy Soileau at VCA Preston Park Animal Hospital detected a serious heart murmur necessitating referral to Dr. Kelly Nitsche at VCA Animal Diagnostic Clinic. Dr. Nitsche conducted an electrocardiogram which revealed an enlarged heart. He suspected Leia had Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a congenital heart defect that occurs when a normal opening in a fetal dog heart fails to fully close at birth. In the womb, the  opening allows blood to bypass oxygenation in the fetal lungs because it is oxygenated by the mother. After birth, the opening causes blood to flow in an abnormal pattern leading to congestive heart failure. Dr. Nitsche referred Leia to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at Texas A&M University where Leia saw Dr. Blakeley Janacek on January 29, 2019. Dr. Janacek evaluated chest x-rays and an echocardiogram, which confirmed a Grade V/VI heart murmur but did not reveal PDA. Poor Leia was pretty stressed out at this point - Dr. Janacek asked her foster parents to stay overnight and return Leia the next morning for more testing. Leia then underwent a transesophogeal ecocardiography (TEE) under general anesthesia and it clearly revealed the suspected PDA! The A&M team then performed a minimally invasive procedure to fix the PDA by inserting a plug via her femoral artery. 

On January 31, 2019, Leia returned home with several medications, an e-collar, instructions to ice her incision three times daily and a four week total exercise restriction. That's right, no playing, running, jumping or other such fun for a whole month. We can't thank her foster family enough for helping her through this challenging time! Leia will also have follow up blood work and an echocardiogram in three months to evaluate the success of the procedure. When she feels better, we will follow up to determine whether her picky eating is related to gastrointestinal disease. But we are hopeful she will ultimately have a long and happy future in a forever home! 

Even with so much good news, we still need your help! The bill from A&M came out to $3,900. With the prior diagnostic tests and follow up, Leia's veterinary expenses will easily exceed $5,000. Please help us pay these bills with a contribution to Leia's Facebook Fundraiser or on our website to the Miss Mesa Fund. You are what make stories like Leia's possible.

Team Adaptation in the Operation of Mega Morbid Patient-Juniper Publishers

Introduction

Obesity is a preventible health problem which is becoming increasingly common in the world and becoming one of the important health problems. Obesity affects the quality and duration of life significantly [1]. It is increasing rapidly especially in young people and many chronic illnesses are developing at earlier ages. The socioeconomic burden is also increasing associated with it.Sustainable diet has a very important role in the treatment of obesity, but it seems nearly impossible to do it with severe obesity. At this point, surgical treatment is an appropriate and effective option for morbid obesity. Obese patients are a patient group which are difficult to manage due to anesthesia because of the lack of consensus on increased co-morbidity, difficult intubation and drug distribution. People with body mass index (BMI)>40kg/ m2 are defined as morbid obesity and BMI>60 are defined as super obese [2]. In this article, we aimed to present the anesthesia management of a super obese patient (240kg BKI:106kg/m2) in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG.). This case, as we know, is the patient with highest VKI had LSG surgery in our country.

Case

Obese patients are being consulted with chest diseases, cardiology, endocrine and psychiatry by protocol of our hospital. Preoperative laboratory values after routine consultations were normal in this case. LSG was planned to a 36-year-old patient with a 150cm lenght, 240kg weight and a BMI of 106kg/ m2. The ideal weight was calculated as 45kg (ideal weight in women=height-105). Comorbidities were: sleep apnea syndrome requiring remitting CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), DM and HT. The history of previous surgery and allergy was not available in that case.

It was reported in the consultation of chest diseases that bilateral respiratory sounds were deeply and no lesion was found in parenchyma on PA lung graphy. FEV1:61, FEV1/FVC:121 were reported in the pulmonary function test. Preoperative blood gas samples, with spontaneous respiration, were reported as pH:7.32,PO2:64, PCO2: 52, HCO3: 26. There was sinus rhythm seen in the ECG and for the ecocardiography, EF was reported as 55% at the cardiology consultation. Any additional cardiac pathology wasn't exist. There was not found any pathology could cause disability for surgery at endocrine and psychiatric consultation.

In airway evaluation, mallopathy classification was determined as class 2. Thrombus was not detected in the lower extremity venous colour doppler USG. Our patient could walk at close range without assistance. Our patient was brought to the operating table as the head would be 30 degrees from inpatient service. She was admitted to the ramp position during the operation. No premedication was performed. Pulse oximetry, three-way ECG monitoring and BIS (bispecific index) monitoring were performed when the patient arrived at the table. The invasive arterial monitorization was performed from the left radial artery following the allenal test because the patient's arm wasn't appropriate for blood pressure cuff and sudden hypotension could happen after induction. The blood gas sample, taken before the induction, values were SPO2: 88, PCO2: 52, pH: 7.32, HCO3: 25. A video laryngoscope was used for intubation. Besides, macintosh laryngoscope, emergency tracheostomy set and stile prepared too.

The patient received 3mg midazolam, 1g paracetamol and 100mg tradamol before induction. Vigilant intubation was not preferred due to the concern that uncontrolled movements of people with this weight may pose a risk for patient safety. Antidote medicines, which will quickly reverse the effects of the drugs used during induction, were available at the desk. Flumazenil were available for dormicum and sugammadex were available for rocuronium. 250mg of propofol and 100mg of rocuronium were administered to ensure adequate anesthesia depth in all 3minutes by following the BIS (bispecific index). Intubation were performed in one shot by using the videolaryngoscope. Intubation was confirmed by Et CO2 because obesity-related lung sounds were not fully audible. After the intubation, 150mcg of fentanyl, 100mg of tramadol, 50mg of ranitidine, and 8mg of ondansetron were administered.

Sevofluran was initiated with 0,9 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) and remifentanyl was initiated at a dose of0.05mcg/ kg/min, and also titrated during the anesthesia procedure due to the blood pressure and heart rate. At the 45th minute of operation 20mg rocuronium was added. Patient was ventilated with PRVC (Pressure Regulated Volume Control) mode to permit up to 50 +/- 50% of et CO2 peroperatively, due to the fact that there were 50mmHg of PCO2 in the blood gas taken before the intubation. Monitor settings were made as PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure): 7cm/H2O, TV (tidal volume) :480ml, Fr (frequency): 14 per minute, FiO2: 60%. The blood gases taken before the start of surgery were reported as pH:7.36, PCO2:52mmHg, PO2: 137mmHg and pH:7.31, PCO2:54 mmHg, PO2:110mmHg were after surgery. The intra-abdominal pressure was set at 18mmHg to provide adequate surgical vision.

During the operation, a total of 800cc(for ideal weight: 10ml/ min) of fluid was given and a total of 100cc urination (for ideal weight: 1.1ml/h) was withdrawn. The duration of the operation was 90min and the duration of the anesthesia was 120min. Decurarisation was provided with 400mg of sugammadex and patient was extubated after her spontaneous breathing was adequate. The patient was transferred to PACU (Post-op Anesthesia Care Unit), connected to its own CPAP device. After extubation, pH was found to be 7.45, PCO2:55mmHg, PO2:70mmHg in the blood gas. The patient underwent an intermittent CPAP mask for one day stay in PACU. Blood glucose levels ranged from 100 to 110 in PACU. The hourly urine output was found to be 1.2ml/h on an ideal weight basis. The day after the PACU she was sent to the service and mobilized. On the sixth postoperative day, the patient was discharged without any complications.

Discussion

There are several problems for anesthesia management in a super-obese patient. These are especially airway management, anesthetic drug selection and dosage, fluid management and administration of postoperative analgesia.

While planning the anesthesia management of this case, with a 700 obesity cases of experience, we planned as follows:

1) Completion of preopretive consultations

2) Presence of three anesthetists for anesthesia

3) Patient with a ramp position during induction and application of anesthetic agents according to ideal weight and their titration according to BIS monitoring, blood pressure and heart rate

4) Complete preparation for difficult intubation

5) Hemodynamic monitoring was performed with intraarterial cannulation because of the absence of an appropriate blood pressure cuff fort his patient and for follow up

6) PRVC mode ventilation

7) Postoperative pain control was achieved with PCA.

The ramp position in morbid obesity during induction improves laryngoscopy vision and facilitates intubation. In addition, the oxygenation is better because the pressure of the abdominal organs to diaphragma decreases in this position, so the apnea period is tolerated better. During anesthesia induction, midazolam, propofol and rocuronium were used. After intubation 150mcg of fentanyl was added. Intravenous paracetamol and tramadol were administered. There are debates about medicines used in superobese patients whether would be based on deal body weight or not. The ideal weight of the patient is 55kg and the corrected weight is 64kg. Because of propofol and remifentanyl are high lipophilic drugs, they can accumulate beyond estimates in fatty tissue. However, remifentanil is rapidly metabolized and is not expected to accumulate in fatty tissue. Therefore, remifentanyl is adjusted by titration to ideal weight.

Patient-controlled propofol was successfully applied to a 290 kg patient over the ideal weight according to servin et al. [3]. However, Arveles et al. [4] used propofol induction over the ideal weight over microgram/kg. Midazolam is calculated according to ideal weight also. Because sevoflurane is also a lipophilic drug, it can cause overdose over the expected dose. For this reason, there is no consensus in the literature about its use in obese patients. However, it has been successfully used in this case based on our clinical experience. 0.4mg/kg of rocuronium was used according to actual body weight. Because of rocuronium is a hydrophilic drug, it does not differ much between obese patients and other patient groups. It is recommended that rocuronium induction is used due to ideal weight, but it has not been sufficient to provide relaxation in this condition. Compared to the ideal weight of rocuronium, the duration of effection of it is more than twice times that of patients actual weight.

In this case, the use of rocuronium according to the actual weight shortened the duration of intubation and at the same time the antidote prevented postoperative residual drug remained. Because of the patient's sleep apnea, 45cm of neck circumference and her small mouth we had preparation for difficult intubation. Gaszynski et al. [5] emphasized that the videolaryngoscope provides better laryngeal images and that makes intubation to be faster. We chose to use a videolaryngoscope because we had a lot of clinical experience in this type of difficult intubation. At one time, the patient was intubated successfully with the videolaryngoscope. Except the high BMI, 45cm of the neck circumference increased the risk of the difficult intubation. PVRC mode was used for ventilation. Hans and colleagues [6] reported that they obtained high tidal volume with low pressure throughout the operation, although they did not find any difference between volumetric control and PVRC on partial oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

PEEP is set to 7cm/H2O. Tradamol and paracetamol were preferred for postoperative analgesia. The epidural catheter was not preferred because of its technical difficulties in this patient group. Low-molecular-weight heparin (60mg enoxaparin sodium) was started 12 hours before the operation to reduce thromboembolic risk. During the operation the patient was wearing anti-embolic socks. After extubation, she was taken to PACU and intermittent CPAP was applied. Early post-operative mobilization was emphasized and LMWH continued during this period. On the first postoperative day, the vital signs were stabilized and oxygenation in the blood gas sample was as same as the preoperative values. In the service follow up, postop 1stDay only water was given and on the 2nd day clear liquid nutrition was given to the patient. The patient, whose respiratory exercise and mobilization was increased, discharged on postoperative 4th day.

Results

It is obvious that super-obese patients have many difficulties for anesthesia management. However, with appropriate preventions and the presence of experienced team partly facilitates that management. We performed a super obese case of LSG in this operation; We believe that while performing LSG in that case medications according to the ideal body weight, PVRC mode ventilation and the pain control with tradomal and paracetamol made this case successful.
