osteogenesis imperfecta/fever

We describe a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta who developed tachycardia, metabolic and respiratory acidosis (pH 7.14, PCO2 8.4 kPa, BE -8.5 mmol.l-1) and hyperthermia up to 40 degrees C during anaesthesia with barbiturates, fentanyl, pancuronium, and nitrous oxide. Malignant hyperthermia was

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) results from gene mutation that causes defective or insufficient collagen formation. It may cause various anesthetic complications due to the difficulty in airway management, existence of spinal deformity, respiratory disorders, cardiac anomalies, thrombocyte function

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare, genetically inherited syndrome involving connective tissue. It results in extremely fragile bones and disorders of other organs and body systems. Children with osteogenesis imperfecta are susceptible to bone fractures and often require surgery and anaesthesia. We

OBJECTIVE Evaluate clinical outcome of early cyclic intravenous pamidronate treatment in children with moderate-to-severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), commenced before three years of age. METHODS A retrospective review of 17 patients with moderate-to-severe OI. Development, anthropometry, fracture

OBJECTIVE. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a connective tissue disorder that results from the inability to produce normal collagen. Eight types are described; type II is considered the lethal variant. Because of abnormal collagen production, these patients possess many anatomic and functional

Intravenous treatment with pamidronate is beneficial in children and adolescents with moderate to severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) types I, III and IV, but there is little information on the effects of this treatment on the newly described OI type V. Here, we describe the results of 2

OBJECTIVE Concerns persist regarding the association of osteogenesis imperfecta with perioperative complications and intraoperative hyperpyrexia. The purpose of this study is to examine whether osteogenesis imperfecta patients develop intraoperative hyperthermia and to describe anaesthesia-related

Anesthetic management of pediatric liver transplantation in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) requires tough decisions and comprehensive considerations of the cascade of effects that may arise and the required monitoring. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil

A male patient weighing 2.5 kg was admitted for respiratory difficulty, and a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) was diagnosed. During care, sudden right leg swelling with a femur shaft fracture occurred. The patient's father had a history of recurrent lower extremity fractures; thus,

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of the connective tissue stemming from gross abnormalities in collagen formation and structure. Affected patients fall into 4 classifications each displaying the similar properties of easily fractured bones, hypermobile joints, blue or gray sclera,

An analysis of 266 operations on 63 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, mostly type III and IV, showed that about half had corrections of skeletal deformities and internal splinting with intramedullary stainless steel rods. The remaining operations were for other orthopaedic procedures as well as
