Abstract:
This case article presents the anesthetic management of a patient with complex medical conditions and surgical requirements. The patient had secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure, resulting in hypocalcemia. The patient required a transfemoral amputation due to progressive bacterial infection and global foot gangrene. The urgency of the operation prevented preoperative preparation and necessitated careful consideration of the patient's cardiovascular and respiratory challenges. Due to the patient's facial deformity and limited neck mobility, general anesthesia was not feasible. Instead, a multimodal analgesia approach was adopted, utilizing regional nerve blocks targeting various nerves involved in lower limb innervation. This approach, combined with sedation, provided effective surgical anesthesia.
