This is followed by a discussion of the anaesthetic considerations for the patient presenting with right atrial myxoma. Case reportThe patient, a 67-year-old 63 kg male, was transferred to our institution because of progressive dyspnoea and severe hypoxaemia. These symptoms were noted four months earlier when he presented with a complaint of shortness of breath, diagnosed as bronchitis, and treated with aminophylline with no benefit. Past medical history revealed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Laboratory reports included a haemoglobin of 170 g.
