Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare, lethal complication of prolonged propofol use, characterized by metabolic acidosis and cardiac failure. This case highlights the syndrome

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
  • Pharmacology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

  • Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with prolonged, continuous propofol administration.
  • PRIS has gained attention due to increasing reports linked to propofol sedation, particularly in recent years.
  • The syndrome presents with metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and progressive cardiac failure.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of PRIS in a patient who underwent cardiac surgery.
  • The patient presented with cardinal signs of PRIS, including metabolic disturbances and cardiac complications.
  • The occurrence in a post-cardiac surgery setting warrants specific attention.

Findings:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The pathophysiology of PRIS is linked to propofol-induced mitochondrial metabolism disturbance.
  • Cardinal signs include metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, and cardiac arrhythmias.
  • The syndrome can manifest as progressive, therapy-resistant cardiac failure.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and prompt management of PRIS are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Understanding the mitochondrial mechanism is key to developing targeted therapies.
    • This case underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring for PRIS in high-risk surgical patients.
