Our experiences in a patient with Progeria syndrome

Extradural hematoma surgery in a child with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: Perioperative concerns

“…[1238910] Anticipation of this problem and adequate intra-operative preparedness is necessary to avoid failed intubation catastrophes. Preservation of spontaneous breathing until control of airway is established and the use of special intubation aids like laryngeal mask airways, fibreoptic bronchoscopes, bougies, etc., and methods like awake intubation, blind intubation, emergency tracheostomy, etc., are some of the recommended management methods.…”

[1238910] Difficult patient-positioning and increased susceptibility to pressure injuries and skin avulsions due to skeletal and skin abnormalities, potential for peri-operative myocardial ischemia or hemodynamic instability due to co-existent cardiac disease, and requirement for modified anesthesia protocols in keeping with the physiological changes and multi-systemic derangements of old age are some of the other perioperative concerns in HGPS patients.
