ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF A CASE OF SEVERE KYPHOSCOLIOSIS POSTED FOR RIGHT PERITROCHANTERIC FEMORAL NAILING
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 14
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Kyphoscoliosis is forward and lateral bending of the spine commonly affecting the dorsal and lumbar spine. Spine deformities are likely to be associated with physiological derangements in cardiac and pulmonary function and may cause difficulties with both tracheal intubation and regional anaesthesia. Due to problems associated with respiratory system, spinal anaesthesia is used widely though technically difficult. We present a case of severe kyphoscoliosis posted for right peritrochanteric nailing successfully managed under epidural spinal anaesthesia.
