چکیده
Nicolau syndrome is a rare complication following intramuscular injection, leading to local ischemic necrosis. The authors present a case of a 3-year-old boy who was admitted with Nicolau syndrome after intramuscular penicillin injection and then proposed for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. On the 3rd day after admission an epidural catheter was inserted and a perfusion of ropivacaine was initiated. Twenty four hours after the epidural block the pain was under control and 48 hours after the block the patient was extubated. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment was performed without any events. There are numerous treatments described for Nicolau syndrome, however, there is no gold standard treatment established. Pain treatment with epidural analgesia seems a good option, particularly in pediatric patients, allowing a satisfactory adhesion to the other treatments. The authors also attested the security and efficacy of epidural catheters during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Resumo A síndrome de Nicolau é uma complicação rara que ocorre após injeção intramuscular, levando a necrose isquémica da pele, tecidos moles e músculo a nível regional. Os autores apresentam o caso de um doente de 3 anos de idade, admitido com síndrome de Nicolau após injeção intramuscular de penicilina, proposto para realização de tratamento com oxigenoterapia hiperbárica. No 3o dia de internamento foi colocado um cateter epidural para analgesia. Vinte e quatro horas após a realização do bloqueio epidural o doente tinha a dor controlada, e após 48 horas foi extubado, sem intercorrências. Realizou todas as sessões em câmara hiperbárica sem qualquer intercorrência. Há vários tratamentos descritos para a síndrome de Nicolau, no entanto, devido à baixa incidência desta complicação, nenhum tratamento padrão foi ainda estabelecido. O tratamento da dor recorrendo a analgesia epidural parece ser uma boa opção, particularmente em doentes em idade pediátrica, permitindo uma melhor adesão à restante terapêutica efetuada.

متن کاملElectric pumps and hyperbaric treatment.
To the Editor:—We read with interest the case report and the study of Sanchez-Guijo et al., which describes the failure of patient-controlled analgesia pumps in a hyperbaric environment. We have experience with this problem. Electronic infusion pumps function in a fashion similar to a patient-controlled analgesia pump. We have observed unexplained low blood pressure in some patients treated by ...
