The Anaesthetic Management for Intraoperative Arrhythmia in a Giant Ovarian Dermoid Cyst

Abstract

Giant ovarian tumours are becoming very rare with the improvement in healthcare facilities. Most cysts are benign and very few turn out to be malignant. Such tumours are associated with considerable mortality. They present a challenge to the anaesthesiologist in terms of difficult intubation, maintenance of hemodynamic parameters heart rate and blood pressure and to avoid life-threatening cardiac and pulmonary complications. We report such a case where patient had a large ovarian tumour which was sudden in onset and was carefully managed  by thorough preoperative assessment, intraoperative fluid and hemodynamic management and thorough postoperative care.
