Abstract

Background: The bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is a frequent and potentially devastating intraoperative complication in patients undergoing cemented hip arthroplasty. The objective of study is to describe the frequency of BCIS in patients undergoing total or partial hip arthroplasty.
Methods: Case series study. We reviewed the medical records of adult patients over 50 years of age with an indication for Arthroplasty or Hemiatroplasty. The perioperative variables were analyzed through the Anesthesia registry. The degree of SICO was determined by Donaldson classification. Descriptive statistics and multiple correspondence analysis were used to explore the relationship between the variables.
Results: We included 49 patients with an average age of 78 years (SD +/- 9.9), 39 were women (79.6%) and 37 (75.5%) had an ASA II classification. We documented the presence of SICO in 8 patients (16.3%): of which 5 corresponded to Grade 1, 2 Grade 2 and 1 to Grade 3 with ICU requirement. 7 were women; all were hypertensive, 2 diabetes mellitus, 2 COPD and 1 osteoporosis. None reported Warfarin ingestion.
Discussion: BCIS is a frequent phenomenon in the arthroplasty and cemented hemiarthroplasty, being higher in the female sex, documenting the presence of predictors of severity ASA II -III classification and the history of COPD in our hospital.
Evidence Level: IV
