Description
Focus on the specific considerations and challenges faced by anaesthetists when managing patients with paragangliomas located in the thoracic region.
Objectives
Review the nature of paragangliomas, their origin, and how they function.
Explore the diagnostic tools used to identify thoracic paragangliomas, including imaging techniques (CT, MRI) and biochemical tests (catecholamine levels).
Discuss how these diagnostics influence preoperative anaesthetic planning.
Identify potential anaesthetic risks, including the management of intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations and airway control.
Discuss drug selection and anaesthetic techniques that can minimize the risks of catecholamine surges.
Review the management of intraoperative crises such as hypertensive episodes or arrhythmias.
