Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
General anaesthesia is a choice of anaesthesia for surgeries of breast like modified radical mastectomy (MRM). But patients with lung disease like bronchial asthma, COPD, poor pulmonary function are at a high risk for perioperative mortality and morbidity especially because of pulmonary complications under general anaesthesia. For these patients regional anaesthesia may be a better choice. We present successful perioperative management of a known case of bronchial asthma with left lower lobe collapse under unilateral spinal anaesthesia a sole anaesthetic technique for toilet mastectomy with axillary clearance.
