Abstract:
:Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder which affects one in 2500 live births. It is a multisystem disease and has a variety of presentations. The major clinical features affect the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Severe respiratory disease, diabetes and gastroesophageal reflux are common features of concern to anaesthetists. Improved care of young patients has allowed many to survive into adulthood. Lung transplantation has significantly improved the outlook for many patients. At Alfred Hospital, 74 patients with cystic fibrosis underwent 149 procedures from January 1978 to January 1994, with a mortality of 0.6% (95% CI 0.4%-0.8%). This retrospective cohort study describes the anaesthetic management and perioperative care of these patients. Most of the anaesthetics were for procedures related to cystic fibrosis but 12% were for unrelated conditions. Cystic fibrosis related procedures include diagnostic, venous access, enteral feeding procedures, treatment of complications of cystic fibrosis and lung transplantation. Despite extremely poor respiratory function, these patients can be managed with acceptably low postoperative mortality (1%). Pre- and postoperative care must be directed towards optimal clearance of viscous respiratory secretions. Procedures need to be planned so that optimal care can be given by each member of the team caring for cystic fibrosis patients.
