We report on a retrospective analysis of eight episodes of toxic methaemoglobinaemia in seven premature infants after the
combined exposure to prilocaine by EMLA cream (12.5 mg prilocaine) and caudal anaesthesia (5.4–6.7 mg/kg prilocaine). The
causative relationship between prilocaine and the infants' deterioration came to our attention through an anonymous voluntary
incident-reporting system. The highest methaemoglobin concentration found was 30.6% (5.5 h after anaesthesia). All infants
were symptomatic (mottled skin, paleness, cyanosis, poor peripheral perfusion) and two were exposed to unnecessary diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures for unspecified deterioration in their conditions. Pharmacokinetic evaluation indicated a single
compartment first-order elimination with a methaemoglobin half-life of 8 h. Normal levels (<1%) were reached 36 h after exposure
to prilocaine.
Conclusion Whereas local skin application of prilocaine to premature babies is safe, peridural administration is not because premature
infants are more sensitive to methaemoglobin inducing agents and tolerate methaemoglobinaemia less well.

The appearance of a single blob of denatured haemoglobin in red cells staining prominently with supravital dyes is described in a case of fatal haemolysis following infusions of methylene blue (MB) for the treatment of toxic methaemoglobinaemia. This unique inclusion hitherto unreported may be used to predict impending haemolysis. 相似文献
