Anaesthetic Management of High Risk Chronic Kidney Disease Patient for Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion with Omentectomy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
A patient with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) having history of Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) was planned for CAPD catheter insertion with omentectomy. Usually CKD patients requiring general anaesthesia (GA) or spinal anaesthesia present a number of challenges to anaesthesiologist. This patient carried high risk for general anaesthesia due to interstitial lung disease. We managed this high risk case with bilateral Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block and spinal fentanyl with very low dose bupivacaine hyperbaric 0.5% (0.5 ml) to reduce perioperative morbidity. Anaesthesia technique was adequate for conduct of surgery with minimal supplementation and no complications noted in the perioperative period. It was observed that this technique may be a feasible alternative option especially in patients who carry high risk of morbidity with general anaesthesia/spinal anaesthesia with regular dose of bupivacaine.

Comparative Study of Two Different doses of Intrathecal Clonidine with Bupivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia
Background: a2-agonist prolongs the duration of intrathecally administered local anaesthetics. This study was planned to investigate the effects of 45 µg and 90µg clonidine added to 0.5% intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacain...
Effects of Hypercarbia on Spontaneous Ventilation in Short Laparoscopic Procedures
Context: Carbon dioxide is most commonly used to insufflate the abdominal cavity to facilitate short laparoscopic surgeries, where the real challenge lies in management of pathophysiological changes due to hypercarbia. A...
A Comparative Study of Intubating Conditions between PropofolFentanyl-Midazolam and Propofol-Fentanyl-Lignocaine Groups without Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
Introduction: Tracheal Intubation without the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs was used to assess the airway by laryngoscopy. We compared the effect of midazolam and lignocaine on intubating conditions along with prop...
Retrograde Intubation of a Thyroglossal Cyst in a Child Presenting with Difficult Airway
This is an interesting case report of anesthetic management of a case of rare thyroglossal cyst on posterior part of tongue in a eight year old child who was posted for cyst removal under general anaesthesia. This case h...
A Study to Compare the Effect of Intrathecal Midazolam and Nalbuphine as an Adjuvant to Bupivacaine for Infra-umbilical Surgeries
Context: Since spinal anaesthesia provides analgesia for short time with local anaesthetics, many intrathecal adjuvants to local anaesthetic drugs have been addressed to augment the clinical efficiency and duration of an...
