The Management of a Post-Poliolytic Patient for Major Abdominal Surgery

M. MINUCK M.D.1 and R. S. LAMBIE D.A. (ENG.)1

1 St. Boniface Anaesthetic Clinic, Winnipeg, Man

The anaesthetic management of a severely handicapped post-poliomyelitic patient for major surgery has been described. The method is described in detail, with comment on the operative and postoperative management.

Emphasis has been placed on a rapid return to consciousness following surgery, and to pain-relief from the abdominal wound without respiratory depression. This was accomplished by two methods: (a) irrigation of the wound with local anaesthetic solution as required, (b) the use of a Pethidine-Lorfan mixture.3
