RESUMO
PURPOSE: Preanestes@s is a web-based application that includes a smart computer-based self-assessment preoperative questionnaire (PreQuest). Preanestes@s enables remote non-telephonic preoperative assessment via a virtual visit. We aimed to determine if the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification assigned by PreQuest and virtual visit is comparable with that assigned by face-to-face assessment, and to determine the accuracy of Preanestes@s in recording complementary preoperative information. DESIGN: Prospective, observational, paired study. METHODS: This study was conducted in a tertiary teaching hospital. A total of 510 adult patients scheduled for surgery were consecutively recruited. Of these, 220 patients were included in the analysis of ASA grade agreement. FINDINGS: PreQuest and virtual visit showed higher predictive value than face-to-face assessment in detecting patients with ASA grades 1 to 2. Face-to-face assessment showed the highest rate of false negatives (ASA 3-4 misclassified as ASA 1-2), with a sensitivity of 44.2% versus 69.8% and 50% for PreQuest and virtual visit, respectively. Virtual visit showed the highest agreement with the ASA grade assigned by a panel of experts (kappa index 0.52, 95% confidence interval 0.15-0.89). PreQuest and virtual visit offered a more comprehensive registry of anthropometric data, more detailed record of chronic diseases condition, and more accurate registry of patients' treatments (virtual visit > PreQuest > face-to-face assessment). CONCLUSIONS: The combined use of PreQuest and virtual visit offers a better performance in assigning the ASA grade for non-complex patients and a more accurate and detailed record of complementary information. This finding suggests the feasibility of Preanestes@ as a tool for preoperative assessment.

Introduction: Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (or Taybi-Linder syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by bone and central nervous system malformations, in addition to intrauterine retardation. Case presentation: 20-year-old patient operated on for adhesiolysis and enteropexy due to bowel obstruction from post surgical adhesions. Conclusion: The anesthetic considerations in these patients include the potential airway impairment secondary to facial malformations and neurological complications, primarily seizures.
Introducción: El enanismo microcefálico osteodisplásico primario (o síndrome de Taybi- Linder) es una infrecuente enfermedad caracterizada por malformaciones óseas, del sistema nervioso central y crecimiento intrauterino retardado. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 20 años intervenida de adhesiolisis y pexia intestinal por un cuadro de obstrucción intestinal por bridas postquirúrgicas. Conclusión: Como consideraciones anestésicas de estos pacientes destacamos las posibles alteraciones de la vía aérea secundarias a las malformaciones faciales y las complicaciones neurológicas, principalmente crisis convulsivas.

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a relatively common affection of gastrointestinal tract in childhood that results in symptoms, such as projectile vomiting and metabolic disorders that imply a high risk of aspiration during anesthetic induction. In this way, the carrying out of a technique with general anesthesia and intravenous rapid sequence induction, preoxygenation and cricoid pressure are recommended. After the correction of systemic metabolic alkalosis and pH normalization, cerebrospinal fluid can keep a state of metabolic alkalosis. This circumstance, in addition to the residual effect of neuromuscular blocking agents, inhalant anesthetics and opioids could increase the risk of postoperative apnea after a general anesthesia. We present the successful management in 3 neonates in those a pyloromyotomy was carried out because they had presented congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This procedure was done under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation and rapid sequence induction. Then, ultrasound-guided paravertebral block was performed as analgesic method without the need for administrating opioids within intraoperative period and keeping an appropriate analgesic level. Local anesthesia has demonstrated to be safe and effective in pediatric practice. We consider the ultrasound-guided paravertebral block with one dose as a possible alternative for other local techniques described, avoiding the use of opioids and neuromuscular blocking agents during general anesthesia, and reducing the risk of central apnea within postoperative period.
A estenose hipertrófica do piloro é uma condição relativamente comum do trato gastrintestinal na infância, que causa um quadro de vômitos em jato e alterações metabólicas que envolvem um alto risco de aspiração durante a indução da anestesia. Assim, recomenda-se uma técnica sob anestesia geral e indução intravenosa de sequência rápida, pré-oxigenação e pressão cricoide. Após a correção da alcalose metabólica sistêmica e normalização do pH, o líquido cerebrospinal pode manter um estado de alcalose metabólica. Isso, juntamente com os efeitos residuais de agentes bloqueadores neuromusculares, anestésicos e opioides, pode aumentar o risco de apneia pós-operatória após anestesia geral. Apresentamos o manejo bem-sucedido em três recém-nascidos que foram submetidos a piloroplastia por apresentar estenose hipertrófica do piloro congênita. O procedimento foi feito sob anestesia geral com intubação orotraqueal e indução de sequência rápida. Em seguida, fez-se um bloqueio paravertebral guiado por ultrassonografia como método analgésico sem a necessidade de administração de opioides durante o período intraoperatório e que mantém o nível analgésico adequado. A anestesia regional é comprovadamente segura e eficaz na prática pediátrica. Consideramos o bloqueio paravertebral guiado por ultrassom com dose única como uma possível opção a outras técnicas regionais descritas, evita o uso de opioides e bloqueadores neuromusculares durante a anestesia geral e reduz o risco de apneia central no pós-operatório.
La estenosis hipertrófica de píloro es una afección relativamente común del tracto gastrointestinal en la infancia, que conlleva un cuadro de vómitos en proyectil y alteraciones metabólicas que implican un elevado riesgo de aspiración durante la inducción anestésica. Así, se recomienda la realización de una técnica con anestesia general e inducción de secuencia rápida intravenosa, preoxigenación y presión cricoidea. Tras la corrección de la alcalosis metabólica sistémica y normalización del pH, el líquido cefalorraquídeo puede mantener un estado de alcalosis metabólica. Esta circunstancia, junto con el efecto residual de los bloqueantes neuromusculares, agentes anestésicos inhalatorios y opioides podrían incrementar el riesgo de apnea postoperatoria tras una anestesia general. Presentamos el manejo exitoso en 3 neonatos a los que se les realizó una piloromiotomía por presentar una estenosis hipertrófica de píloro congénita. El procedimiento se realizó bajo anestesia general con intubación orotraqueal e inducción de secuencia rápida. A continuación se llevó a cabo un bloqueo paravertebral guiado por ecografía como método analgésico sin precisar administración de opioides durante el periodo intraoperatorio y manteniendo un adecuado nivel analgésico. La anestesia regional ha demostrado ser segura y efectiva en la práctica pediátrica. Consideramos el bloqueo paravertebral guiado con ecografía con dosis única como una posible alternativa a otras técnicas regionales descritas, evitando el empleo de opioides y bloqueantes neuromusculares durante la anestesia general y reduciendo el riesgo de apnea central en el periodo postoperatorio.
