Abstract
A reaction to tape after tracheal extubation in a patient with systemic amyloidosis is reported. A patient underwent a right thoracotomy with general anesthesia. A double-lumen tube secured with 1-inch adhesive tape (3M Blenderm®, 3M Health Care, St Paul, MN) was used. The same kind of tape was used to cover the eyelids. On removal of the tape, hemorrhagic and purpuric lesions appeared on the skin in regions corresponding to the tape contact area. A diagnosis of amyloidosis was made based on large tongue, lip edema, purpuric and hemorrhagic spots on the skin, congestive heart failure, and skin biopsy. Amyloidosis and its anesthetic implications are discussed.
