Abstract
Antisynthetase syndrome is a rare idiopathic inflammatory multisystem disorder, which
can lead to serious postoperative complications. Due to its low incidence, there is
little literature on its anesthetic management. However, patients with this disease
can suffer from serious complications secondary to muscle weakness and respiratory
complications. Although the intraoperative and the immediate postoperative periods
may be uneventful, complications may appear later. The characteristics of the disease
can lead to a misdiagnosis in the case of respiratory acute failure. The objective
of this clinical report is to discuss the perioperative management of patients suffering
from antisynthetase syndrome, assess the usefulness of postoperative monitoring, and
evaluate alternatives that could have been carried out to prevent the fatal outcome
reported in this narrative.
