Abstract
ESNAOLA IRIARTE, B; IRIGOYEN MIRO, S and TORRE MOLLINEDO, F. Anesthetic management of hysterectomy and double adnexectomy for borderline left ovarian tumor in a patient with multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.4, pp.243-246. Epub Mar 23, 2020. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2019.3705/2018.
The multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome (MCS), also known as idiopathic environmental intolerance (IAI), among others, is a complex and poorly defined disorder that produces various symptoms in response to various stimuli. There is a lack of valid studies that establish the pathogenesis of this syndrome. The anesthetic management of these patients is a challenge for anesthesiologists, due to the fact that there are no established guidelines. We present a case of successful surgery in a patient that suffers from MCS by performing a conventional TIVA enhanced with a thorough premedication and the latex allergy protocol.
