Pulmonary Aspiration during Induction of General Anesthesia in a Patient with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy-Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Anesthesia Abstract Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDPJ-a rare immune-mediated disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system-is the most common treatable neuropathy. Its clinical features include progressive or relapsing muscle weakness and decreased motor ability and or sensation in the extremities. Patients with CIDP are not encountered frequently in the operating room; thus, there is insufficient knowledge regarding their anesthetic management. Here, we report a case of pulmonary aspiration during induction of general anesthesia in a 64-year-old man with CIDP undergoing emergency surgery for gastric ulcer perforation.
