Anesthetic management in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta for rush nail removal in femur

Abstract: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetically inherited syndrome involving connective tissues, resulting in anatomic and physiologic abnormalities, which results in any form of anesthesia, a challenging task. We hereby report a case of OI type I presented with distinctively blue sclera, hearing loss, kyphoscoliosis, and mild pulmonary restrictive disease who underwent rush nail removal in the femur.

“…Our second patient highlights another benefit of spinal anesthesia as he required no postoperative analgesic or sedation medications, and therefore was discharged rapidly from the PACU to the phase two recovery area. Previous reports of the use of spinal anesthesia in MH susceptible adult patients are outlined in Table 1 [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Adverse effects were rare with hypotension noted in one parturient and respiratory difficulties in another patient related to a high spinal block (T3) and the concomitant administration of dantrolene.…”

“…Anesthesiologists need to be aware of the potential complications and tailor their approach to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient. 4,6 This may involve specialized techniques and equipment to address the unique characteristics of OI patients during surgical procedures. The patient was classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade II with OI type IV and thoracic levoscoliosis as the actual problems.…”
