Anaesthesia for Fixation of Pathological Fractures in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma with Comorbidities

Abstract

Introduction: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have improved life expectancy and quality of life in the last decade with the introduction of new chemotherapeutic agents and improvement in treatment modalities. Due to this, patients are now being treated for surgical implications of the disease, which was not possible earlier. Case Report: We report a case of a 42-year male with MM with fractured femur bone posted for fixation of pathological fracture femur, discussing the perioperative considerations and management for anaesthesiologists. Conclusion: Proper anaesthetic management is crucial for the successful fixation of pathological fractures in patients with MM and comorbidities, considering the unique challenges posed by the disease and its associated complications.
