Perioperative Management of a Patient with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Undergoing Endometrial Ablation: A Case Report and Review of Literature

چکیده
MOJ Womens Health 2017, 5(4): 00129 Perioperative prophylaxis with Danazol and C1 inhibitor concentrate (C1-INH) are commonly used to prevent angioedema episodes. Anaesthesia management and perioperative implications have been recently commented by some authors [3]. Airway oedema and hypovolemic shock due to the tissue leak of fluids are especially significant in the perioperative period, challenging even the most experienced anaesthesiologist. We represent a patient who had previously diagnosed HEA who underwent successful elective Novasure endometrial ablation under general anaesthetic. Perioperative management and anaesthetic implications are discussed below in details.

BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE), caused by deficiency in C1-inhibitor (C1-INH), leads to unpredictable edema of subcutaneous tissues with potentially fatal complications. As surgery can be a trigger for edema episodes, current guidelines recommend preoperative prophylaxis with C1-INH or attenuated androgens in patients with HAE undergoing surgery. However, the risk of an HAE attack in pa...
