Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Danita, you may have already found this in the archives, but am reposting it - mentions the nerve block. This is about the most current info I have. As I read this I noticed Fentanyl was used. This is why I asked to talk with my anethesiologist, because we went over a list of my allergies and in my case Fentanyl is a big one. ~ G) Abstract from Masui. 2003 May;52(5):524-6. Anesthetic management for laparoscopic surgery in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease [Article in Japanese] Niiyama Y, Kanaya N, Namiki A. Department of Anesthesiology, Sapporo Medical University, School of Medicine, Sapporo 060-8556. A 50-year-old woman was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. She was suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease for 21 years, and implanted with a permanent pacemaker for IIIrd degree AV block. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl and propofol, and maintained with oxygen-air-sevoflurane. Neuromuscular blockade was not used because of the presence of peripheral neuropathy and respiratory muscle weakness. We suggest that sevoflurane anesthesia might be useful for anesthetic management of CMT patient with a risk of postoperative respiratory failure.
