Abstract
Abstract
Background
Anesthetic management of pericardial tamponade is requiring full use of abilities for anesthesiologists because of associated cardiovascular problems inherent to this condition, with its associated comorbidities.
Case presentation
A 55-year-old man diagnosed with severe mitral insufficiency, asthma, diabetes, and pleural effusion in the lungs and pericardial effusion was scheduled for pericardial window opening surgery.
Conclusions
Due to compromised lung functions and asthma of the patient led to an anesthetic plan of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane catheter placement for long-term continuous analgesia.
