- The catheter subsequently caused insufficient flow problems, often requiring local and systemic fibrinolytic treatment.
|
- For this reason, in November-06 anticoagulation with acenocoumarol (Sintrom®) was indicated, with mild functional improvement.
|
- In February-07 he suffered an episode of lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to ischemic colitis and colonic colitis conditioned by anticoagulant treatment.
|
- After removing acenocoumarol, the catheter stopped flowing.
|
- On 22-2-07, an attempt was made to replace the catheter through the same venous tract, making it impossible to introduce the new catheter due to complete thrombosis of the superior vena cava.
|
• On the same day 22-2-07, a temporary catheter was placed in the left femoral vein.
|
2-3-07 was removed when a functioning central catheter was available.
|
• On the 28-2-07, a tunnelled Split-Cath catheter was placed directly into the right atrium using a right anterior mini-thoracotomy.
|
- From the first dialysis session there was minimal blood leakage through the catheter connection ports.
|
It was not an impediment to continuing to treat him.
|
- Hospitalisation in October-07 due to catheter infection resolved with antibiotics.
|
- In November-07 there was a significant increase in blood leakage, with placement of a sterile silicone seal and placement of a PTFE silicone around the puncture site.
|
- In March 2009 the blood leak resolved with the same sealed procedure and returned PTFE.
|
- A new sealing attempt failed again on 30-11-09.
|
• 22-3-09 required insertion of a temporary catheter in the right femoral artery for a few days.
|
• On December 17, 2009, a new transthoracic dressing change was performed, and another Split-Cath catheter was placed.
|
- As a complication, she developed cardiogenic shock after surgery, and was then diagnosed with moderate to severe aortic valve stenosis.
|
- The catheter showed inadequate flow, with distal ends located in the suprahepatic vein.
|
- 25-3-10 was replaced with haemodynamics, the distal ends of the catheter being placed in the inferior vena cava.
|
- 24-9-10, again due to catheter dysfunction, was repositioned in hemodynamics, with distal ends lodged in the right atrium.
|
• A temporary right femoral catheter was inserted in 22-3-10 for a few days.
|
Since the last episode of day 24-9-10 and to date (10-02-2012), the patient is dialyzed in his dialysis center by transthoracic catheter, with no incidents and adequate catheter function.
|
A 33-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with asthenia, a history of unknown allergies, cutaneous lupus with malar erythema without treatment for 8 years and under rheumatology follow-up.
|
Very common:
|
Cholecystectomy.
|
Ex-smoker for 7 years.
|
Don't drink.
|
Non-toxic habits, except for drinks with quinine (tonic).
|
Anaemia episodes after 2 births
|
Cesarean section and ligation of dyes in the third.
|
Current illness:
|
She consulted due to intense asthenia and presyncopes one week later, which made it difficult to walk, along with anorexia without weight loss.
|
Very long lasting menstruation (8 days) and abundant.
|
Not melanic stools, cutaneous dryness and mucosa
|
Epistaxis and gingivorragia
|
The analytical highlights anemia with 6.7 gr / dl hemoglobin, thrombopenia with platelets of 6,000 / mm3.
|
LDH 1696 IU/l.
|
Blood smear with presence of schistoocytes
|
Normal test results.
|
Diagnosis: According to clinical and laboratory data, the patient presents a compatible picture of TTP in the context of SLE.
|
Upon admission, a concentrate of platelets is transfused.
|
One hour after the platelet count passed, the patient began with a picture of global aphasia and deviation of the oral commissure to the left without any other neurological focus.
|
Later he speaks with normal language without evident focus.
|
Due to the added neurological symptom, the patient was admitted to hospital for study.
|
When presenting the patient with thrombotic microangiopathy and seizures, plasmapheresis is requested from this service.
|
Due to the clinical worsening of the patient, she was admitted to the ICU.
|
Plasmapheresis session plan:
|
The replacement volume should be 1-1.5 times the plasma volume.
|
Treatment should be continued for up to 48 h after the response has been obtained.
|
The patient weighs 75 kgr., and according to relationship tables, it corresponds to a total of 3,500 cc. of volume to be reinfused, for which dialysis is programmed: 1,400 cc. peritoneal dialysis 20%.
|
Impact of meetings:
|
To perform the first plasmapheresis in the ICU, an attempt is made to implant a right jugular catheter, but due to its difficulty and excessive bleeding, a double-lumen catheter is placed in the left femoral artery.
|
The monitor used for the technique was a PRISMA CRRT-TPE (Hospal®), with PTE-2000 filter.
|
The dose of heparin was 15-5-5 mgr, with the duration of the sessions of approximately 210 minutes, with an average infusion of 980 ml/h, blood flows between 120-140 ml/min and 85 mmHg PPV-155.y
|
The patient in the ICU has a poor general condition (sedated), with maintained constants.
|
A total of 17 sessions were carried out.
|
Impact of the measures
|
The first session was very agitated.
|
In the 5th and 6th she suffers hypotension and major convulsions, with diazepam and physiological saline, finishing the treatment.
|
In the 16th there is an increase in MPT up to 55 mm Hg, missing 50 minutes, ending the session.
|
In the 17th, there was a failure of the air test when 90 minutes were missing, so the ETT had to be changed.
|
The rest of the sessions were carried out without problems, being well received by the patient.
|
We report the case of a 62-year-old patient who in December 2010 was operated on for a serous papillary carcinoma in the left ovary with involvement of a ganglia of the chain referral (stage IIIC).
|
Subsequently, she received adjuvant chemotherapy with ropivacaine and paclitaxel, finalized in June 2011.
|
Later, asymptomatic follow-up began until April 2013, when an increase of CA 125 of 88.4 U/ml (0-35 U/ml) was detected.
|
The CT scan showed an image adjacent to the colon and underwent anterior resection of the superior rectum with intraoperative biopsy of a liver lesion that confirmed the metastatic nature.
|
A second line treatment with platinum plus paclitaxel was established, showing an CA 125 value of 123.3 U/ml.
|
After a first cycle with good tolerance, we programmed the second one and during the first minutes of the infusion of dexamethasone/siloxane, the patient developed sudden dyspnea, vomiting, loss of consciousness and SBP/DBP of 70.
|
After corticosteroid infusion, the patient developed remission.
|
The Allergology Unit recommended a grading scheme with slowing infusion rate.
|
For this, three dissolutions were used with concentrations of 0.02, 0.2 and 2 mg/ml respectively, in addition to premedication the night before and half an hour before infusion with:
|
Cefuroximaxetil 125 mg Filmtabletten
|
In spite of this, within a few minutes she began with dyspnea, sweating and tensions of 85/60 mmHg, which forced her to stop the infusion and suggested that she did not use any saline solution again.
|
In September 2013, it was decided to start third line chemotherapy with trabectedin and pegylated liposomal adriamycin.
|
After the third cycle, the markers normalized and completed up to the sixth cycle, remaining in these moments free of disease.
