The recently identified COVID-19-related Kawasaki-like disease has been considered one of the phenotypes of the cardiovascular manifestations of the Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS), which stands out for few respiratory symptoms and multiple manifestations cardiovascular, the most important being dilation and eventual coronary aneurysms associated or not with cardiogenic shock. The literature is scarce, so perioperative management is challenging for the anesthesiology team. We present the case of an infant with severe cardiovascular manifestations as a result of this disease that required anesthetic interventions to perform a plethysmography and amputation of his lower extremity. The article describes the most relevant considerations in the perioperative management of patients with this pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
