Methylphenidate is frequently prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, narcolepsy, and other sleep disorders requiring psychostimulants. Our report is based on 2 different clinical experiences of patients with chronic methylphenidate use, undergoing general anesthesia. These cases contrast different strategies of taking versus withholding the drug treatment on the day of surgery. From the standpoint of anesthetic management and patient safety, the concerns for perioperative methylphenidate use are mainly related to cardiovascular stability and possible counteraction of sedatives and anesthetics.
哌甲酯常用于治疗注意力缺陷多动障碍、发作性睡病以及其他需要使用精神兴奋药的睡眠障碍。我们的报告基于2例长期使用哌甲酯的患者在接受全身麻醉时的不同临床经验。这些病例对比了手术当天继续用药与停药的不同策略。从麻醉管理和患者安全的角度来看,围手术期使用哌甲酯的担忧主要与心血管稳定性以及镇静药和麻醉药的可能拮抗作用有关。
