Résumé

Une hypotension artérielle à la suite d’une intubation en séquence rapide est fréquente. Cette hypotension, encore appelée en France collapsus de reventilation, est multifactorielle. Après analyse de la fréquence et de la morbimortalité de l’hypotension post-intubation (HPI), les mécanismes physiopathologiques ainsi que les différents paramètres aboutissant à cette hypotension sont décrits. Les différents facteurs prédictifs d’HPI sont analysés afin de proposer une conduite à tenir, tant sur le plan préventif que curatif. Ainsi, le remplissage vasculaire systématique avant toute intubation en urgence, le choix des agents utilisés pour l’induction puis pour l’entretien de la sédation, les réglages des paramètres ventilatoires (notions de ventilation protectrice et d’hypercapnie permissive) et enfin le recours aux amines vasopressives sont autant de moyens efficaces pour lutter contre l’HPI.

Abstract

Arterial hypotension frequently occurs following a rapid sequence of intubation. This hypotension is multifactorial. After analyzing the frequency of morbidity and mortality of post-intubation hypotension (HPI), our purpose was to describe the physiopathologic mechanisms as well as the different parameters leading to hypotension. We also analyzed the various predictive factors of HPI to propose both preventive and curative management. Indeed, systematic vascular loading before intubation, the choice of drugs used for induction and maintenance of sedation, the settings of the ventilatory parameters (protective ventilation and permissive hypercapnia) and finally the use of vasopressor amines are all effective ways to efficiently treat HPI.
