ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY FOR PROXIMAL FEMUR NAILING
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by dilatation and impaired systolic function of one or both the ventricles. Malignant arrhythmias are the most common cause of death in DCM. Around 50% of cases of non-ischemic DCM are idiopathic. Anesthetic management of these patients is quite challenging. The anesthesiologist must have the knowledge of its pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic evaluation and treatment modalities. We report a successful anesthetic management of a patient with DCM who underwent proximal femur nailing (PFN).
