- 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. |
