Cardiac Failure in a Trisomy 9 Patient Undergoing Anesthesia: A Case Report.
Anesthesia Progress 2017
A 27-year-old female with Trisomy 9 mosaicism presented to Children's Hospital Colorado for outpatient dental surgery under general anesthesia. The patient's past medical history was also significant for premature birth, gastroesophageal reflux, scoliosis and kyphosis, obesity, and developmental delay. Per her mother's report, the patient had no cardiac issues. She had undergone multiple previous general anesthetics, some of which documented respiratory complications such as laryngospasm, bronchospasm, and possible aspiration. During this anesthetic, the patient became hypotensive on induction, with sluggish response to intravenous fluids, glycopyrrolate, and ephedrine. Her electrocardiogram demonstrated what appeared to be left bundle branch block at baseline, with possible ST segment changes after induction. Due to her abnormal reaction to the induction and subsequent treatment for hypotension, an echocardiogram was performed. The patient was found to have an ejection fraction of 25%-30%. The anesthetic was uneventful for the remainder of the procedure, and following recovery, the patient was admitted by the heart failure team for further care.
