AH Case Presentation
Spinal & Induction
• SAB @ L3-L4 (+CSF)
• Midazolam 1 mg IV
• Bupi 12 mg + Epi wash
• 500 mL LR co-load
• Induction
• Lidocaine 60 mg
• Fentanyl 100 mcg
• Propofol 120 mg
• Rocuronium 50 mg
AH Case Presentation:
Maintenance, Emergence, & Postop
• Sevoflurane 1-1.5%
• BIS 40-50
• Fentanyl prn
• Nipride gtt (readily available)
AH Case Presentation:
Maintenance, Emergence, & Postop
Autonomic
Hyperreflexia/Dysreflexia
• Episodic & potentially life-threatening HTN
that develops in pts w/ spinal cord lesion at
or above T6.
• Occurs > 85%
• Caused by noxious, visceral, or
nociceptive stimuli below spinal lesion
• SBP ↑ > 20-30 mmHg
VA & Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
250,000 Americans w/ serious SCI
• 42,000 SCI Veterans/heroes
• 26,000 (2008)
• 13,000 specialty care (2008)
AH Pathophysiology Review
1) Stimulus below transection.
2) Activation of preganglionic sympathetic
nerves
3) Vasoconstriction
4) HTN
5) Stimulation of carotid sinus =
bradycardia
6) Reflexive cutaneous vasodilation
AH Clinical Presentation
Awake:
• C/o HA, blurred vision, nasal stuffiness
Anesthetized:
• Hallmarks: HTN & Bradycardia
• Piloerection & flushing (above)
Untreated:
•
•
•
•
•
Loss of consciousness
Seizures
Cardiac dysrhythmias
Cerebral, retinal, or subarachnoid hemorrhage
↑ afterload → LV failure & pulm edema
Autonomic Hyperreflexia
AH Anesthetic Implications
Pre-op
• HEENT—↓ ROM & mouthing opening
• CV—↓ BP, orthostatic hypoTN
• Pulm—↓ lung volumes, cough reflex,
atelectasis
• GI—atonicity, full stomach?
• Renal—UTI, chronic FC
• CNS—bowel & bladder dysfunction,
chronic & central pain
AH Anesthetic Implications
Treatment
• Nifedipine or prazosin prophylaxis
• STOP the stimulus (if possible)
• Neuraxial block & GA
• SAB > EA &/or GA > N2O + opioid
• Vasodilators
• SNP, Nicardipine
• BB for tachyarrhythmias
• NOTE: centrally acting hypotensive agents
are not effective (clonidine)
AH Anesthetic Implications
Clinical Pearls
• NDNMB prn
• SCh & profound hyperK+
• Common triggers:
• Irritation of urinary bladder, colon, &
labor
• Waning of anesthesia (post-op)
• Literature is lacking for definitive treatment
