Case Report: Management of Hemophilia-A for B/L TKR
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This report describes successful management of 36 yrs old patient with hemophilia-A, who received general anaesthesia for B/L TKR. He was given Anti-Haemophilic Factor (AHF)-VIII starting before the surgery and continued for till his full recovery. Haemophilia A is an X-linked recessive hereditary disorder characterized by a deficient or defective factor VIII. Haemophilia-A is more likely to occur in males than in females as males have only one X - chromosome. Thus females are almost exclusively asymptomatic carriers of the disorder. Before the commercial availability of Factor VIII, surgery was impossible in haemophilia patients and even tooth extraction could be life threatening.
