Abstract

Anaesthetic Management of a High Cardiac Risk Patient Posted for Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture Fixation

Priyanka Pavithran

High risk patients presenting for hip fracture surgeries can be successfully managed with peripheral nerve blocks. The anti-tachycardia mechanism of AICD was suspended after he was taken into the operating room and a defibrillator was kept standby. Vascular access was obtained through a 18 Gauge catheter placed on the right upper limb and one in right external jugular vein.
