General Anesthesia Management with LMA in Patients with a Diagnosis of Closed Fracture of the Proximal Tibia with Cardiomegaly
Keywords:
tibia fracture, cardiomegaly, general anesthesiaAbstract
Tibial fracture is the most common type of lower extremity fracture. Management of closed proximal tibial fracture with cardiomegaly requires effective anesthetic management by considering the patient's hemodynamics and heart condition. The selection of the right anesthetic is needed to avoid postoperative cardiomegaly complications. The purpose of this case report is to describe the anesthetic management in a patient with a closed proximal tibial fracture who will undergo ORIF surgery using general anesthesia with LMA with comorbid cardiomegaly. The method used in this case study is a descriptive observational method using a single case study approach. Patient data can be collected in several ways: through detailed patient history obtained through interviews, observation, thorough physical examination, and regular recording of vital signs every 30 minutes. The data collection process takes place before surgery, during surgery, and in the postoperative period. The conclusion of this case study is that considerations for administering anesthesia to patients with closed proximal tibial fracture with comorbid cardiomegaly must consider the condition of their heart.
