Anaesthetic Considerations and Implications for Non Cardiac Surgery in a Patient Presenting with Aorto Occlusive Disease.

ABSTRACT

Patients with peripheral vascular disease continue to challenge the anesthesiologist as these patients often have associated coronary artery disease. There is always a danger of myocardial ischemia and cardiac morbidity both intraoperatively and postoperatively in this group of patients. We here report a patient presenting with aorto occlusive disease posted for emergency laparotomy for intestinal obstruction.
