Abstract
Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is characterised by hypotension, hypoxaemia, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest or any combination of these, leading to death in 0.6-1% of patients. One of the mechanisms suggested to explain these complications is diffuse microembolisation of the lungs as a consequence of extrusion of the bone marrow content by the pressurised bone cement. By reducing intramedullary pressure and changing the operative technique, BCIS can be diminished, but deaths still occur. An anaphylactoid mechanism as a major factor in BCIS is receiving renewed attention since increased plasma histamine levels were recently demonstrated after the implantation of bone cement and a prosthesis. Therefore, we conducted a prospective, randomised study to demonstrate the potential benefit of histamine-receptor-blocking agents in patients undergoing cemented hip arthroplasty. Thirty patients were divided into two groups: group 1, the control group, received no histamine-receptor-blocking agents; group 2, the antihistamine group, received H1 and H2-receptor-blocking agents in standard dosages preoperatively. Both groups were comparable concerning age, sex and physical status (ASA criteria). There was no hospital mortality ...Continue Reading
