Delayed recovery due to exaggerated acid, base and electrolyte imbalance in prolonged laparoscopic repair of diaphragmatic hernia

Abstract: The acid, base and electrolyte changes are usually observed in the perioperative settings. We report a case of prolonged laparoscopic repair of left-sided diaphragmatic hernia which involved a lot of tissue handling and fluid replacement leading to acid, base and electrolyte imbalance. A 42-year-old male underwent prolonged laparoscopic repair under general anesthesia. Intraoperatively, surgeon reported that contents of hernia includes bowel along with mesentery, spleen and lot of fatty tissue The blood loss w… Show more

“…reported a case of delayed recovery after prolonged laparoscopic repair of diaphragmatic hernia under general anesthesia due to tissue handling and fluid replacement responsible for metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and hypocalcemia. [ 26 ] Recovery may be delayed if soluble volatile agents are continued until the end of surgery or long-acting drugs are given toward the end of the procedure. [ 19 23 ]…”

“…These results were contradictory with the study conducted by Reilly et al on anaesthetized tigers in which the plasma calcium showed a significant decrease over the course of anaesthesia [21]. Likewise, Garg et al related hypocalcaemia in a human patient during laparoscopic repair of a diaphragmatic hernia [10]. However, in their report, the iCa imbalance was attributed to fat tissue handling and necrosis, due to calcium binding to adipose tissue.…”

“…Anesthetic drug administration techniques responsible for the duration of awareness after anesthesia (27) . A study by Garg et al revealed that delayed recovery after long time laparoscopic procedure for hernia repair by general anesthesia occurs (28) . Also, repeated administration of anesthetic agents for long term surgery is another cause for delayed recovery (29) .…”
