Why the study?
What are the anaesthetic implications and complications in children with nemaline myopathy undergoing cardiac surgery?
What are the anaesthetic implications and complications in children with nemaline myopathy undergoing cardiac surgery?
Children with nemaline myopathy undergoing cardiac surgery may experience bradycardia during anaesthesia induction and hyperthermia perioperatively.
May warrant vigilance for bradycardia and hyperthermia; hypothesis-generating for anaesthetic protocols in nemaline myopathy.
Nemaline myopathy is a rare congenital myopathy associated with skeletal deformities and respiratory complications. Three children with nemaline myopathy who underwent cardiac surgery are described where the heart rate decreased during induction of anaesthesia and body temperature increased during or after the surgery. The anaesthetic implications in the management of patients with nemaline myopathy are discussed.
