Reconstructive surgery for hypertelorism and its anesthetic management

ABSTRACT

The indigent patient in whom induced hypotension has been produced by means of chlorpromazine needs a close surveillance and not the type of nonconventional management that some pursue. Proper and adequate monitoring of the patient is warranted at every step to dispel the concern and anxiety of residents and anesthesiologists not acquainted and abreast with chlorpromazine induced hypotension. In short we can equivocally state that the technique is highly rewarding in operations where blood loss is imminent and life threatening
