General anesthetic considerations for the infant with shaken impact syndrome and pyloromyotomy: a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a case report of an infant with shaken impact syndrome who required general anesthesia for the repair of pyloric stenosis. This infant suffered neurologic impairment from shaking, which was not only the major etiologic factor but the mechanism of injury as well. Shaking an infant can have devastating consequences. A thorough understanding of the mechanism of injury and the sequelae that result from this type of child abuse are paramount to prevent further damage if the infant requires general anesthesia. Anesthesia providers play a vital role in minimizing secondary injuries in infants with shaken impact syndrome.
