ABSTRACT
Introduction: recent developments in the field of rheumatology has stimulated the need to deepen the study of perioperative corticosteroid use in rheumatoid arthritis; revitalizing the interest in understanding the implications of chronic steroid use, as a determinant of surgical results.Objective: to outline guidelines for stress dose management for reducing perioperative risk in steroid-dependent rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Development: a systematic search of Elsevier, PubMed and Google Scholar was performed using the terms: perioperative risks, steroid-dependent rheumatoid arthritis and stress dose. The search has been limited to articles written in Spanish and English language between the years 2010 and 2015. Five additional studies were added at author’s discretion. As an exclusion criteria editorial works and case reports were not selected.
Conclusions: corticosteroid use is an important risk factor in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This risk is dose related; hence the usefulness of balancing risks and doses in the perioperative management of patients. Therefore it is essential to rheumatologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and intensivists to attempt standardization, consensus and decreased variability in clinical practice, by developing an adequate level of knowledge about guidelines in managing stress dose of steroids to reduce the interference of these drugs in healing, resistance to infection and functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, among others.
