ABSTRACT

Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but potentially lethal complication after long-term, high-dose propofol infusion. This disorder is triggered under unknown circumstances by a propofol infusion of more than 4 mg/kg/h for more than 48 h. PRIS is characterized by a multiorgan failure, rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Is induced by a disturbance in mitochondrial long chain fatty acid oxidation. The treatment of PRIS is discontinuation of propofol, rapid correction of lactic acidosis, hyperkalemia and rhabdomyolisis and cardiovascular support.
