| Popis: | Summary Between 1959 and 1984, 36 children with the prune-belly syndrome underwent 133 operations at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street. The anaesthetic and surgical problems have been reviewed. Minor postoperative respiratory tract infections followed eight anaesthetics. Three deaths occurred in the postoperative period. In two of these there were multifactorial causes, not directly related to the prune-belly syndrome. One death was related to the sequelae of the syndrome. Normal doses of muscle relaxants are recommended when intermittent positive pressure ventilation is used during anaesthesia. Monitoring of the patient's respiratory state and active physiotherapy are advisable postoperatively. Analgesies should be used with caution. |
