Reversible coma in children after improper baclofen pump insertion.

Keith J Anderson1, Jean-Pierre Farmer, Karen Brown.   

Abstract

We report the occurrence of delayed postoperative coma in five of nine consecutive children following surgery for insertion of baclofen infusion pumps. We suspect that improper technique resulted in an inadvertent administration of an intrathecal baclofen bolus. We suggest ways to minimize this risk.
