Abstract

Substance abuse is an important medical problem especially in young population. Induction of anesthesia in such patients and treatment of them in the intensive care unit demands special interest because there is an interaction between the drugs used for substance abuse and for anesthesia. We report the management of prominent sympathetic activity characterized with tachycardia and hypertension in spite of deep sedation in a drug abuser case hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to having multiple trauma.

Özet

Madde bağımlılığı, özellikle gençlerde, önemli bir sağlık problemidir. Bağımlılık yapan ilaçların anestezide kullanılan bütün ilaçlarla etkileşiminin bulunması, bu olgularda anestezi uygulamalarını ve yoğun bakımdaki izlemlerini özellikli kılar. Bu yazıda, yoğun bakımda çoklu vücut travması nedeniyle izlenen, madde bağımlılığı olan olguda derin sedasyona rağmen görülen taşikardi ve hipertansiyonla karakterize dirençli sempatik aktivitenin tedavisi ile ilgili temel yaklaşım sunulmaktadır.
