Anaesthesia for patients with multiple sclerosis.

J Kyttä, P H Rosenberg

    Annales Chirurgiae Et Gynaecologiae
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary

    Anesthesia in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients undergoing surgery is generally safe. While regional anesthesia can cause hypotension, no MS deterioration was linked to anesthesia methods in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease affecting the central nervous system.
    • Surgical procedures in MS patients require careful consideration of anesthesia types.
    • Previous research on anesthesia safety in MS patients is limited.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective study analyzed anesthesia types in 56 multiple sclerosis patients from 1973-1982.
    • Perioperative and postoperative events were correlated with anesthesia methods.
    • Infiltration, general, and regional anesthesia techniques were evaluated.

    Findings:

    • Infiltration anesthesia (24 patients) was well-tolerated, primarily for thalamotomy.
    • General anesthesia (28 patients), with or without succinylcholine, showed no significant circulatory or respiratory issues in MS patients.
    • Regional anesthesia (4 patients: 2 spinal, 2 epidural) was associated with resistant hypotension.

    Implications:

    • Anesthesia management for multiple sclerosis patients can be tailored based on these findings.
    • Regional anesthesia requires vigilant monitoring for potential hypotension in MS patients.
    • No evidence suggests anesthesia negatively impacts multiple sclerosis progression post-surgery.
