Best practices in peri‐operative management of patients with skeletal dysplasias

Abstract: Patients with skeletal dysplasia frequently require surgery. This patient population has an increased risk for peri-operative complications related to the anatomy of their upper airway, abnormalities of tracheal-bronchial morphology and function; deformity of their chest wall; abnormal mobility of their upper cervical spine; and associated issues with general health and body habitus. Utilizing evidence analysis and expert opinion, this study aims to describe best practices regarding the peri-operative manageme… Show more

“…Many patients have abnormalities in the development and growth of the craniofacial skeleton leading to restricted opening of the jaw and di culties in intubation. These risks are compounded by di cult venous access due to joint contractures and/or excess subcutaneous fat, a small thorax, obesity, and associated cardiac and other major organ disease 4 Polysomnography is a non-invasive test typically including an electroencephalogram, electro-oculogram, chin and leg electromyogram, electrocardiogram, and pulse oximetry, with assessments of oro-nasal air ow, abdominal and chest wall movements, and video recording. Measurement of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) is recommended during standard pediatric polysomnography and is required to diagnose hypoventilation in adults and children.…”
