Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to report our experience with therapeutic plasmapheresis for neurological diseases in regard to the indications, technique and complications in our pediatric intensive care unit. We aimed to emphasize the role of plasmapheresis in treatment resistant and progressive neurological diseases METHODS: We performed retrospective medical record analysis of 41 patients who were treated with plasmapheresis for neurological disorders between July 2005 and April 2015 at Çukurova University Balcalı Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. RESULTS: The most common indication for therapeutic plasmapheresis was Guillain Barre Syndrome (46.3% ) followed by autoimmune encephalitis (24.4%), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (12.2%), myasthenia gravis (9.8%) and refractory status epilepticus (7.3%). For the replacement albumin+fresh frozen plasma mixture (83%), albumin alone (4,6%) and fresh frozen plasma alone(2,4%) were used. During procedures ACD-A was used for anticoagulation, and calcium gluconate was infused routinely. The most frequent complication was hypotension(29.2%).The remainder were allergic reactions like fever andurticaria(9.7%) and hypertension (4.8%). There was no death related to plasmapheresis. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Therapeutic plasmapheresis is the first line treatment for neurological diseases which progress rapidly and are unresponsive to conventional treatments like Guillain Barre Syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and myasthenia gravis. There is more to learn about the role of plasmapheresis treatment for autoimmune encephalitis and refractory status epilepticus.

Özet

AMAÇ: Çocuk yoğun bakım ünitemizde plazmaferez ile tedavi edilen nörolojik hastalıkları, endikasyonları plazmaferez tekniği ve komplikasyonlar açısından değerlendirmek; medikal tedaviye dirençli veya hızlı ilerleyen nörolojik hastalıklarda plasmaferez tedavisinin önemini vurgulamak amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Balcalı Hastanesi Çocuk Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi'nde, Temmuz 2005 ve Nisan 2015 tarihleri arasında nörolojik hastalıklar nedeniyle terapötik plazmaferez uygulanmış olan 41 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak gözden geçirildi. BULGULAR: Nörolojik hastalıklar arasında en sık endikasyon %46,3 oranında Guillain Barre Sendromu iken diğer endikasyonlar %24,4 otoimmun ensefalit, %12,2 akut demyelinizan ensefalomyelit, %9,8 myastenia gravis ve %7,3 refrakter status epileptikus olarak bulundu. Replaman sıvısı olarak %83 albümin+taze donmuş plazma, %14,6 albümin ve %2,4 taze donmuş plazma kullanıldı. İşlemler sırasında antikoagulan olarak ACD-A kullanıldı ve kalsiyum glukonat rutin uygulandı. Komplikasyon olarak en sık %29,2 oranında hipotansiyon gözlendi. Diğer komplikasyonlar %9,7 ürtiker, ateş gibi alerjik reaksiyonlar ve %4,8 hipertansiyon idi. Hastaların hiçbiri plazmaferez işlemine bağlı olarak hayatını kaybetmedi. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Terapötik plazmaferez medikal tedaviye yanıt vermeyen veya hızlı ilerleyen Guillain Barre Sendromu, akut demyelinizan ensefalomyelit ve myastenia gravis'de ilk basamak tedavi olarak düşünülmelidir. Otoimmun ensefalit ve refrakter status epileptikus tedavisinde plazmaferezin yeri konusunda daha kesin verilere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
