Abstract

Obstructive shock usually has an intrathoracic origin, such as pneumothorax, pericardial tamponade or pulmonary embolism. We report a case of hemo- dynamic shock in a 74-year-old patient four days after esophagectomy, just after the start of mechanical ventilation for bilateral pneumonia. The sudden onset of severe abdominal distension and the presence of air in the intra-abdominal drain suggested tension pneumoperitoneum, confirmed by radiography. No pneumothorax was associated. Urgent decompression was required to improve hemodynamics. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract was ruled out. The cause was a bronchopleural fistula opened by mechanical ventilation. Rarely, cardiorespiratory failure may occur after tension pneumoperitoneum by reducing lung volume and cardiac preload, similar to obstructive shock from the usual intrathoracic causes or acting as an abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Its recognition and abdominal decompression are key steps in the patient’s recovery. Tension pneumoperitoneum related to mechanical ventilation and airway injury without associated pneumothorax is exceptional and, to our knowledge, has never been reported as a postoperative complication of esophagectomy.
食管切除术后梗阻性休克的不寻常原因1例
梗阻性休克通常起源于胸内,如气胸、心包填塞或肺栓塞。我们报告一例74岁的患者,在双侧肺炎开始机械通气后,食道切除术后4天发生血液动力学休克。突然发作的严重腹胀和腹内引流管中存在空气提示张力性气腹,经x线摄影证实。无气胸相关。需要紧急减压以改善血流动力学。排除了胃肠道穿孔。原因是机械通气导致支气管胸膜瘘。紧张性气腹术后,肺容量和心脏预负荷减少,可能导致心肺衰竭,类似于通常胸腔内原因引起的阻塞性休克,或表现为腹腔隔室综合征(ACS)。其识别和腹部减压是患者康复的关键步骤。张力性气腹与机械通气和气道损伤相关,无气胸是例外,据我们所知,从未报道过作为食管切除术术后并发症。

期刊介绍: L’Acta Anaesthesiologica Belgica est le journal de la SBAR, publié 4 fois par an. L’Acta a été publié pour la première fois en 1950. Depuis 1973 l’Acta est publié dans la langue Anglaise, ce qui a été résulté à un rayonnement plus internationaux. Depuis lors l’Acta est devenu un journal à ne pas manquer dans le domaine d’Anesthésie Belge, offrant e.a. les textes du congrès annuel, les Research Meetings, … Vous en trouvez aussi les dates des Research Meetings, du congrès annuel et des autres réunions.
