Abstract

Amaç: Pulmoner hipertansiyon (PH), pulmoner kan akımının azalmasıyla sonuçlanan pulmoner vasküler yataktaki bir bozukluktur. Çalışmamızda preoperatif PH’si bulunan olgularda anestezik yaklaşımlarımızı araştırmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Kasım 2018-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında anestezi altında operasyona alınan, preoperatif tetkiklerinde ekokardiyografide Pulmoner arter basıncı yüksekliği (PAB≥25mmHg) saptanan hastalar dahil edildi. Hastaların cinsiyetleri, yaşları, ek hastalıkları, transtorasik ekokardiyografileri bulguları, operasyon sırasında uygulanan anestezi tipleri, operasyon süreleri, postoperatif servis/yoğun bakım takip süreleri ve postoperatif ortaya çıkan komplikasyonlar ve mortalite incelendi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 46’sı kadın, 31’i erkekti. Yaş ortalamaları 68.71±15.03 idi. Hastaların %2.6’sında ek hastalık gözlenmezken, %97.4’ünde ek hastalık mevcuttu. Hastalara uygulanan anestezi tipine göre değerlendirdiğimizde; hastaların %89.6’sı genel anestezi altında opere olurken, %10.4’ü rejyonel anesteziyle opere olmuştur. Vaka sonrasında hastaların %51.9’u servise çıkarken, % 48.1’i yoğun bakıma çıkmıştır. 77 hastadan 9’unda ölüm gözlenirken, 68’i hastaneden taburcu olmuştur. Hastaların %76.6’sında komplikasyon gözlenmezken, en sık görülen komplikasyon % 9.1 oranında enfeksiyondur.

Sonuç: Preoperatif pulmoner hipertansiyonu bulunan hastaları PH derecelerine göre sınıfladığımızda; uygulanan anestezi şekli, hastaların postoperatif servis, yoğun bakım takip süreleri, postoperatif taburculuk ve mortalite oranları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı gözlenmiştir. PH’si bulunan hastaya anestezik yaklaşımla ilgili ulusal kılavuzlara, prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

Abstract

Objective: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disorder of the pulmonary vascular bed that results in decreased pulmonary blood flow. In our study, we aimed to investigate our anesthetic approaches in patients with preoperative PH.

Material and Methods: Patients who underwent surgery under anesthesia between November 2018 and March 2021 with elevated Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP≥25mmHg) in echocardiography in their preoperative examinations were included in the study. The gender, age, comorbidities, transthoracic echocardiographies of the patients, types of anesthesia applied during the operation, operation times, postoperative service/intensive care unit follow-up periods, postoperative complications and mortality were examined.

Results: Of the patients included in the study, 46 were female and 31 were male. The mean age was 68.71±15.03. While no additional disease was observed in 2.6% of the patients, an additional disease was present in 97.4% of them. When we evaluate according to the type of anesthesia applied to the patients; 89.6% of the patients were operated under general anesthesia, and 10.4% of them were operated under regional anesthesia. After the operation, 51.9% of the patients were admitted to the ward, and 48.1 % were admitted to the intensive care unit. While 9 of 77 patients died, 68 were discharged from the hospital. While complications were not observed in 76.6% of the patients, the most common complication was infection with a rate of 9.1%.

Conclusion: When we classify patients with preoperative PH according to degrees; it was observed that there was no significant difference between the anesthesia method applied, the postoperative service, intensive care follow-up periods of the patients, postoperative discharge and mortality rates. We believe that there is a need for national guidelines and prospective studies about the anesthetic approach of patients with PH.
