Background: Opioid-induced rigidity is typically observed during rapid administration of fentanyl. Herein, we present a case in which rigidity occurred after reversal of rocuronium during emergence from anesthesia.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old man underwent video-assisted partial lung resection.
Article Synopsis
- 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is given before surgery to help identify tumors but can sometimes cause low blood pressure (hypotension).
- A case involving an 83-year-old man showed that after taking 5-ALA and his usual medications, he experienced hypotension, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis from a cerebral infarction.
- While 5-ALA may have contributed to his condition, the authors suggest that other factors, like the doses of his medications, could also be involved in the development of the infarction.
