Anaesthetic concerns in a patient with aortic aneurysm for non-cardiac surgery: A case report

Abdominal aortic aneurysm poses a significant risk of rupture, with mortality rates of 80% to 90% if untreated. Management focuses on identifying and repairing the aneurysm before rupture, considering factors like size, type and symptoms. We report successful anaesthetic management in a case of intertrochanteric fracture of femur of an elderly patient who was to undergo elective surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Few cases detail abdominal aortic aneurysm management during non-cardiac surgery, emphasising careful anaesthesia titration. This case report underscores the importance of precise intraoperative anaesthesia management in emergency non-cardiac surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm patients.
