Abstract
|
|
|
Unexplained incidental intracranial hemorrhages during induction of general anesthesia are very rare. When it dose occur, anesthetists are involved in serious problems which can lead to disaster.
We had a case where a hidden cerebral aneurysm ruptured during the induction in a patient. A56 year old female was scheduled for a skin graft procedure on her face, anterior chest and both arms. For general anesthesia, she was induced with 300mg
of
thiopental and 75mg of succinylcholine. This was followed by endotracheal intubation. The Anesthesia was maintained with N2O/O2 and enflurane.
Appximately 10 minutes after the induction was stared the patient's pupil became fully dilated and we observed that her light reflexes were gone. Consequently, all anesthetics were discontinued, and the schedule was cancelled. She had a brain CT
katen
which showed subarachnoid hemorrhage. She died of rebleeding from cerebral aneurysm on the 12th postoperative day during the recovery process .
