After 5 days, thiopental and midazolam were withdrawn. Propofol was thought to be the culprit and anesthesia was switched to thiopental; over the next 5 hours the acidosis resolved, although on the next day she developed myoglobinuria with a rising creatine kinase (6966 U/l). Trip Database; TrendMD; Ontology: Propofol infusion syndrome (C1328409) Concepts: Finding (T033) Italian: Sindrome da infusione di propofol : Japanese: プロポ … The first death associated with PRIS was reported in 1990, a Danish medical committee issued a warning about the use of propofol in the paediatric population.2 In 1992, a case series published in the BMJ highlighted the dangers of high doses of propofol infusions in children and urged caution in adults.3 Adult case reports of PRIS started to appear in publications by 1996. eCollection 2020. • Unexpected refractory bradycardia occurring during propofol anesthesia should prompt a laboratory evaluation for possible metabolic (lactic) acidosis. In addition to the individual features, there were several additional scores depending on a combination of features (see Table 123-12). Mortality from propofol infusion syndrome is independently associated with fever and hepatomegaly in children, and electrocardiogram changes, hypotension, hyperkalaemia, traumatic brain injury, and a mean propofol infusion rate >5mgkg1h1in adults. Between 1989 and April 2005, the Adverse Event Reporting System of the FDA received reports of 21 patients aged 16 years or under and 68 patients aged over 16 years who died after administration of propofol for non-procedural sedation. Haemodialysis or haemoperfusion with cardiorespiratory support has been the most successful treatment. Main article: Propofol infusion syndrome A rare, but serious, side effect is propofol infusion syndrome. It would appear from the reports of PRIS in the neurosurgical population that the desire for rapid awakening has propagated the use of propofol coma, rather than using barbiturates. joseorsini@yahoo.com PURPOSE: A case of propofol infusion syndrome in a patient with respiratory failure and sepsis is reported. J Trauma Nurs. Treat all potential etiologies aggressively (ex, sepsis). The propofol infusion syndrome is the commonest cause of death directly related to the use of propofol, and deaths associated with the use of propofol for sedation have been reviewed (46M). Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. In a retrospective analysis of the case notes of 301 patients who underwent non-invasive radiofrequency ablation for atrial dysrhythmias, 55 had had arterial blood gas measurements during the procedure. PRIS is charac-terized by severe unexplained metabolic acidosis, arrhythmias, acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, and cardiovascular collapse. 2020 Sep 1;59(5):478-487. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-JAALAS-19-000137. Patients at greatest risk are those with acute neurologic illnesses, inflammatory conditions, or post-major trauma or those receiving concomitant steroids or catecholamines. Additional symptoms described in the adults were renal failure, respiratory failure/adult respiratory distress syndrome, persistent sedation, hyperthermia/fever, hypertriglyceridemia, multiorgan failure, liver dysfunction, tremors/weakness/polyneuropathy/movement disorders in five, sepsis in five, hepatic failure in four, and hyperkalemia. The hypothesized pathogenetic mechanism involves propofol's impairment of free fatty acid use and mitochondrial activity resulting in cardiac and peripheral muscle necrosis. Four protons and electrons reduce oxygen to water. [1,3,7] After thorough review of these two cases, propofol metabo-lite seemed to be the main cause of green discoloration of urine. The critically ill patient has many reasons to develop the same clinical features. Analysis also showed a reduction in the cytochrome C oxidase activity in the muscle, with a normal activity in skin fibroblasts, excluding an underlying respiratory chain defect. In Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs (Sixteenth Edition), 2016. Propofol is still frequently used for procedural and short-term sedation,137 but in a recent case report, researchers describe a patient who had PRIS.138 The patient had received a propofol infusion for 15 hours at 20 mg/kg/h. The clinical features of propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) are acute refractory bradycardia leading to asystole, in the presence of one or more of the following: metabolic acidosis (base deficit >10 mmol.l)1), rhabdomyolysis, hyperlipidaemia, and enlarged or fatty liver. These images are a random sampling from a Bing search on the term "Propofol Infusion Syndrome." There was acute skeletal muscle aseptic necrosis, rhabdomyolysis and myoglobin casts in the renal tubules. Intravenous midazolam was ineffective and he was mechanically ventilated and given high-dose thiopental with continuous electroencephalographic monitoring. In light of the reports now appearing in the adult neurointensive care literature with the development of a propofol infusionlike syndrome in adult neurosurgical patients,140 it would appear that propofol is not the best choice for prolonged sedation for patients with intracranial hypertension. A case report highlights T-wave inversion on ECG occurring 29 hours before the more classical signs (metabolic acidosis, hyperkalaemia, circulatory failure) of PRIS [90A]. Predisposing factors include young age, severe critical illness of central nervous system or respiratory origin, exogenous catecholamine or glucocorticoid administration, inadequate carbohydrate intake and subclinical mitochondrial disease. Patients with raised ICP require deeper levels of sedation and require higher doses of propofol; they also are receiving vasopressor support to maintain the CPP, which puts a further stress on a myocardium that is already failing. PRIS = propofol infusion syndrome; Refractory bradycardia and cardiovascular collapse; Poorly understood mechanism; Risk factors High doses of (> 4mg/kg/hr or 67 mcg/kg/min) Long duration (> 48 hrs) Younger age (PRIS first recognized in pediatric population) Critical illness; … Finally, the dose of propofol used was not high. In these cases, alternative sedative agents … The first published case report in adults of PRIS was published in 2000; since then, >15 cases have been reported, many of them fatal. Lactic acidosis resolved on withdrawal of propofol. An outcome prediction table has been developed for PRIS based on more than 1000 reports from the FDA’s Medwatch program, of which 20% were pediatric patients.145 The features associated with PRIS are shown in Table 123-12. I.D. Once PRIS is suspected, propofol infusion should be stopped and an alternative sedative agent should be used.8 Cardiovascular support and hemodialysis are paramount in helping decrease the levels of circulating metabolic acids. A. Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare but extremely dangerous complication of propofol administration, that is defined as acute refractory bradycardia leading to asystole in the presence of one or more of the following: high anion gap metabolic acidosis (base excess of minus 10 mmol/liter), rhabdomyolysis or myoglobinuria, lipemia, or enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) or fatty liver 1). The propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS), a rare, often fatal, condition of unknown etiology, is defined by development of lipemic serum, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hepatomegaly, cardiac arrhythmias, and acute renal failure. The authors concluded that in adults propofol can occasionally produce cytopathic hypoxia by impairing the electron transport chain or fatty acid oxidation. Propofol (Diprivan) is an intravenous sedative hypnotic that is used in the induction and maintenance of anesthesia and sedation. NLM The main features consist of cardiac failure (sudden onset of bradycardia), rhabdomyolysis, severe metabolic acidosis, and renal failure. However, later reports suggested that it can occur even after short-term use and low-dose administration [133]. The clinical symptoms that led to this patient’s death mimicked propofol infusion syndrome. Others show inhibition of enzymes along the electron transport chain. The propofol infusion syndrome was defined as metabolic acidosis and/or rhabdomyolysis with progressive myocardial failure. The controls were 267 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy who had baseline arterial blood gas measurements. Jerry J. Zimmerman, ... Jerry McLaughlin, in Pediatric Critical Care (Fourth Edition), 2011, Propofol is a frequently used anesthetic in the PICU and the operating room. PRIS has also now been described in adult patients.132 These patients had similar cardiac and metabolic findings, often associated with the management of intracranial hypertension. It probably should not be used as a solo agent because in those cases tolerance appears to develop more rapidly. An electrochemical gradient consisting of protons and other factors constitutes the mitochondrial membrane potential. Instead of going on at length about it, the focus of this brief summary is on the clinical features of propofol toxicity, as well as all the other … In 2001, Cremer and colleagues proposed the following revised criteria for adult (ages 18-55) propofol infusion syndrome 4: P rogressive myocardial failure status post propofol administration, associated with with metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, or evidence of muscle cell destruction. 2008 Jul-Sep;15(3):118-22. doi: 10.1097/01.JTN.0000337153.08464.0f. The definition of metabolic acidosis was at the lower limit of the normal range. 2020 Aug;35(3):197-204. doi: 10.4266/acc.2020.00213. 2009 May;75(5):339-44. Several other case reports of an apparently similar clinical course were then subsequently described in the literature, which was enough evidence for the Committee on Safety of Medicines in the United Kingdom to issue a warning on propofol and its use in pediatric patients. The syndrome is not well understood but appears to be related to long-term (>48 hours), high-dose (>5 mg/kg/h) propofol infusion. Vasile, B, Rasulo F, Candiani A, Latronico N: The pathophysiology of propofol infusion syndrome: A simple name for a complex syndrome. The mechanism of action of DNP, aspirin, and propofol are suggested in Figure 74-10.40. [8,9] Even though many cases … This effect was first described in 1992 as a series of five cases124 with fatal myocardial failure in children with respiratory illnesses requiring ventilation and sedation. If its use is required for a prolonged period, then careful consideration should be given to its risks and benefits. 2008;31(4):293-303. doi: 10.2165/00002018-200831040-00003. Sixty-one patients with PRIS have been recorded in the literature, with deaths in 20 paediatric and 18 adult patients. Although the exact patho-physiology of PRIS remains to be determined, impaired tissue … Postmortem he was identifies to have a deficiency of complex I of the oxidative phosphorylation system related to his LHON and this deficiency was identified as playing a causative role in the development of PRIS in this case. An autopsy showed normal cerebral hemispheres with no ischemic changes. They had all received propofol at an average rate of about 8 mg/kg/h for more than 70 hours. The propofol infusion syndrome has been reported in a young patient with traumatic brain injury, which is a susceptibility factor, as high doses are often required to achieve a satisfactory degree of sedation and/or to control raised intracerebral pressure (48A). Uncouplers transport protons into the mitochondrion, dissipating the proton gradient. A syndrome with striking similarities to propofol infusion syndrome has been reported in association with thiopental [23]. It was postulated that the hemofiltration removed a water-soluble metabolite of propofol that had caused a reversible reduction in the oxidase activity. Anesthesia Protocols used to Create Ischemia Reperfusion Myocardial Infarcts in Swine. When compared with midazolam and ketamine, propofol resulted in safe, effective sedation. In addition, the use of intravenous inotropes may aggravate lactic acidosis or even trigger the propofol infusion syndrome. No monitoring of lipid status or acid base was performed, and propofol was used as the sole agent by practitioners with limited experience with this drug. An early indicator of the cardiac instability from PRIS may be changes in the ECG. Click on the image (or right click) to open the source website in a new browser window. It is therefore difficult to draw any conclusions from this study. NIH He developed dark urine and a rising creatine kinase, which peaked at 95 440 U/l, followed by acute renal insufficiency, a metabolic acidosis and cardiac arrest, from which he could not be resuscitated. Further cases have been reported (61A, 62A). At that time the FDA could not find a causal link between propofol and the deaths in children and did not issue a warning. The dose and duration of propofol should be carefully managed to minimize its use. Brian T. Marden PharmD, Jill A. Rebuck PharmD, BCPS, in Critical Care Secrets (Fourth Edition), 2007. Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal condition first described in the paediatric population and subsequently reported in adult intensive care, particularly in neurointensive care. In this case, early diagnosis and immediate withdrawal of propofol may have contributed to the complete reversal of symptoms and the favorable outcome. The propofol infusion 'syndrome' in intensive care unit: from pathophysiology to prophylaxis and treatment. No independent verification exists at present. The hyperlactatemia settled within 18 hours. The authors did not report sodium, chloride, or bicarbonate concentrations, but they commented that there was no relation between rate of fluid administration and the maximal negative base excess in these patients. Propofol Infusion Is a Feasible Bridge to Extubation in General Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Caring for Critically Ill Adults With Coronavirus Disease 2019 in a PICU: Recommendations by Dual Trained Intensivists. High-dose infusions have been associated with several serious adverse effects and, when combined, they are known as propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS). Epub 2020 Aug 10. Propofol was discontinued when the patient generated clinical signs consistent with PRIS but the patient died of multiple organ failure due to refractory shock secondary to PRIS. Methods. The authors concluded that some adult deaths and a large number of children’s deaths reported in the post-marketing drug safety database of the FDA have a striking similarity in clinical characteristics, course of illness, and propofol dose and duration to published reports and studies of the propofol infusion syndrome. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. The propofol metabolites are acidic, highly water soluble, and have a short half-life. Long-term use of propofol can lead to a syndrome called Propfol Infusion Syndrome, which may result in death. Rhabdomyolysis and cardiac and hepatic failure then develop in these patients.133 Case reports have shown some metabolic abnormalities that may be the cause of the cardiac failure and acidosis. The most frequent symptoms were progressive cardiac dysfunction/failure (bradycardia, cardiac failure, “cardiovascular collapse”, dysrhythmias, and cardiac arrest), metabolic acidosis, hypotension, and rhabdomyolysis. Cobo AA, Margallo FMS, Díaz CB, Blázquez VB, Bueno IG, Crisóstomo V. J Am Assoc Lab Anim Sci. Intensive Care Med 29:1417–1425, 2003. As previously recommended by the American College of Critical Care Medicine (47S), alternative sedative agents should be considered for patients who develop increasing requirements for vasopressors or inotropes or cardiac failure during high-dose propofol infusion. However, these patients received high doses of propofol (18 to 27 mg/kg/h) to achieve burst suppression for more than 48 hours. After 3 days he developed a fever, severe hemodynamic instability, and multiorgan dysfunction. Propofol infusion syndrome is multifactorial, and propofol, particu-larly when combined with catechola-mines and/or steroids, acts as a trig-gering factor. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. An early sign of cardiac instability associated with the syndrome is the development of right bundle branch block with convex-curved ('coved type') ST elevation in the right praecordial leads (V1 to V3) of the electrocardiogram. regarding a possible link between prolonged propofol infusion and increased risk of critical illness myopathy in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) population inspired us to report a case of suspected propofol infusion syndrome (PIS) from late April 2020, during the spike of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was given inotropic drugs in high doses, low-dose glucocorticoids, and renal replacement therapy. The clinical features of propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) are acute refractory bradycardia leading to asystole, in the presence of one or more of the following: metabolic acidosis (base deficit > 10 mmol.l (-1)), rhabdomyolysis, hyperlipidaemia, and enlarged or fatty liver. Ivan N. Co, Kyle J. Gunnerson, in Critical Care Nephrology (Third Edition), 2019, Propofol is a short-acting, intravenously administered sedative commonly given in the intensive care unit.6 One of the rare complications of intravenous (IV) administration of propofol, particularly in high doses (>4 mg/kg/hr) and long-term (>48 hours) use is propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS).6 PRIS results in severe lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, and cardiac dysfunction. A carbohydrate intake of 6 to 8 mg/kg/min should be enough to suppress fat metabolism in the critically ill child. [Severe lactic acidosis caused by propofol infusion: report of one case]. However, the specificity of the latter symptoms for propofol infusion syndrome is questionable. Poorly understood — even the central role of propofol has been questioned? There is an associ- A 29-year-old woman with a severe head injury from a fall and an intracranial pressure of 28 mmHg was given high-dose propofol 4–12 mg/kg/hour for 5 days. She subsequently underwent decompressive craniotomy for impending herniation and intraoperatively was found to be severely acidotic (pH 7.01, base excess –24 mmol/l, bicarbonate 7 mmol/l). direct mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibition? Heard, James E. Fletcher, in, This reaction to propofol came to be known as the, Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. After a further 24 hours her urine became dark and serum triglyceride concentrations and creatine kinase activity were raised. Related Studies. The authors concluded that some adult deaths and a large number of children's deaths reported in the post-marketing drug safety database of the FDA have a striking similarity in clinical characteristics, course of illness, and propofol dose and duration to published reports and studies of the propofol infusion syndrome. This review and the many published case reports must lead to the recommendation that propofol in higher doses, in higher concentrations, and for longer durations must be avoided in both children and adults. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. A review of the pathophysiologic function of the syndrome136 suggested that propofol increases the activity of malonyl coenzyme A, which inhibits the carnitine palmityl transferase I, so long chain fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria. Hemodialysis or hemofiltration have been reported as having some success. There is an association between PRIS and propofol infusions at doses higher than 4 mg.kg(-1).h(-1) for greater than 48 h duration. A recent study showed that staff members of some PICUs are still using long-term high doses despite the potential risks involved.143 Prevention of PRIS could include adequate calorific intake. Complex IV with cyt-aa3 uses four electrons from cytochrome c and eight protons from the matrix. This finding led to a letter from AstraZeneca reminding health care workers that propofol was not approved for sedation of pediatric patients.131. This patient was also treated successfully with hemofiltration. Despite infusion of high-dose propofol (4.2 mg/kg/hour), her myoclonic jerks and electroencephalographic epileptiform activity continued.
