About this study

Official title: Procedural Sedation for Pediatric Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Undergoing Intrathecal Treatment

Background and Aim: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive symmetrical weakness and atrophy of proximal muscles causing from degeneration of anterior horn cells of spinal cord. Nusinersen must be administered intrathecally and this treatment is specially for spinal muscular atrophy. Procedural sedation is commonly enough for intrathecal treatment in children. In this retrospective study, the investigators aimed to present our experience in procedural sedation for the intrathecal treatment of patients with SMA 1,2 and 3 in our hospital.

Read the detailed description

Design: This research is a retrospective obsevational study. Methods: After approval Institutional Review Board, data from anesthesia charts and electronic medical records of 14 patients with SMA type I, II and III who underwent procedural sedation,such as; the demographics data of the patients (age, gender, weight, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) Physical Status), which anesthetic agent was used and their doeses, during of anesthesia, presence of scoliosis, by whom the procedure was performed etc. was reviewed. All our patients with SMA type II and III who underwent intrathecal treatment are given sedation with different combination of anesthetic agent. Due to peripheral intravenous line was placed previously, intravenous induction was performed in all of our patients For procedural sedation, anesthesiologists used different combination of midazolam, ketamine, propofol, fentanyl or remifentanyl, depending on the patient's requirement. They were oxygenated with a face mask or nasal cannula while their spontaneous breathing continues. All patients were recovered in the recovery room.

Statistical analysis: The data were analyzed by using SPSS Statistics Software (SPSS 24, Chicago, IL, USA) Descriptive statistics were used in this study. Mean and standart deviation were calculated for Age (year), Weight (kilogram), Midazolam Dose (mg/kg), Fentanyl Dose (mcg/kg), Remifentanyl Dose (mcg/kg), Propofol Dose (mg/kg), Ketamine Dose (mg/kg) and Length of Stay in Recovery Room (minute) and frequency analysis were made for the number of intervention.

    Measured: 4 years (The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed between July 2017 and December 2021.)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Presence of scoliosis

    Yes or no

    Measured: 4 years The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed between July 2017 and December 2021.)(

  2. How many times intrathecal treatment was performed for each patient

    The number of intrathecal treatments was administered for each patient over 4 years was recorded.

    Measured: 4 years The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed between July 2017 and December 2021.)

  3. By whom the procedure was performed

    It was recorded who performed the lumbar puncture procedure from a neurologist, neurosurgeon, or anesthesiologist.

    Measured: 4 years The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed between July 2017 and December 2021.)

  4. Length of time spent in recovery room

    Recovery time in minutes
