Abstract

Vargas Vargas Giselle Cristina

Immotile cilia syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by ciliary dysfunction and decreased mucociliary clearance. This ciliary function is a mechanism whose primary pulmonary defense alteration can be a problem during inhalational anesthesia, as these cause decreased ciliary movement. However during total intravenous anesthesia this normal ciliary movement can be preserved using remifentanil and propofol. A case of immotile cilia syndrome was handled with complete intravenous anesthesia for surgery protocol type ovarian handling post-operative pain epidural catheter is presented.
