ABSTRACT
Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is a critical and potentially life-threatening condition that manifests during implantation. Characterized by a constellation of symptoms, including hypoxemia, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, and occasionally cardiac arrest, BCIS typically ensues shortly after cement introduction, albeit with rare instances of delayed onset. Primarily attributed to the exothermic reaction of bone cement implantation, this syndrome is caused by local tissue damage, histamine and prostaglandin release, and microemboli formation, ultimately triggering a systemic immune response that culminates in respiratory and circulatory failure. The current hypotheses regarding BCIS include embolism, allergic reactions, and cement autotoxicity. BCIS management emphasizes preventative strategies, encompassing meticulous patient risk assessment, comprehensive preoperative and intraoperative evaluations, and precise cement application techniques. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic therapy and life-support measures to address the systemic effects of the syndrome.
