Hyperlactatémie précoce lors d’une anesthésie au propofol pour neurochirurgie

Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a new clinical entity reported in critically ill patients. Lactic acidosis, cardiac failure and rhabdomyolysis are the features. Lactic acidosis related to short-term propofol administration has been described during general anaesthesia. Lactic acidosis could be an early marker of PRIS. We report here a case of very early lactic acidosis in a 66-year-old-man receiving propofol during a neurosurgery. The outcome was good after discontinuation of propofol.
