Anaesthethetic management of craniotomy for recurrent astrocytoma in case of large atrial septal defect with severe pulmonary hypertension: A case report
Abstract:In adult population after bicuspid aortic valve, atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital acyanotic heart disease, with high prevalence in females. Large ASD with pulmonary hypertension (PAH) posted for non-cardiac surgery poses a challenge to anaesthesiologists because intraoperative hypercarbia, hypoxemia, and hyperthermia can result in increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which can result in shunt reversal, congestive heart failure, and fatal arrhythmias. We report successful anaes… Show more
