Case report of anesthesia for free fibula flap reconstruction in Ewing sarcoma: Safety and efficacy of continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block and very low doses of intravenous heparin

Abstract

A child with a maxillary Ewing sarcoma was operated for tumor asportation and reconstruction with free fibula flap. Adequate anticoagulation was achieved with lower doses of heparin and monitored with multiple ACT values. We used NIRS monitoring to avoid hypoperfusion. Post‐operative pain relief was guarantited by local anestethic continous infusion.
