Anesthetic management of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: A case report

Nilanjana Howbora et al. Saudi J Anaesth. 2023 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can significantly influence overall and disease-free survival in selected patients suffering from peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). We report here the anaesthetic management of a 52 year old patient of Ca Colon with secondary ovarian and peritoneal deposits. She underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with curative intent. The advent of CRS/HIPEC gives a promising alternative to conventional treatment modalities but comes with numerous challenges to the anesthesiologist-in view of the metabolic and hemodynamic adjustments-and demands training.

Keywords: Colloids; crystalloids; cytoreductive surgery; epidural block; general anesthesia; hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
