Case report on Anesthetic Management of Patient with Giant Fibroid Posted for TAH with Thrombocytopenia in Secondary Health Care Center
Abstract: Giant uterine fibroids are very rare in current clinical practice, owning to ease of early diagnosis and common symptoms of presentation. These usually present with symptoms of bleeding per vaginum and swelling of abdomen. Bleeding associated with this disease if accompanied with anemia and thrombocytopenia which is defined as platelet count <1,00,000/mm3 in any patient, poses a unique challenge to the anesthetist because of various complications associated with it. We report a case of 35 years old female, posted for total abdominal hysterectomy with thrombocytopenia in a secondary health care institute. The anesthetic management of this case is presented here.
