Abstract
Introduction: Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is the first-line method and mainstay for endoscopic diagnosis, staging, and treatment of urinary bladder tumours. Hypotonic fluid absorption, electrolyte imbalance from irrigation, haemorrhage, and obturator jerk episodes are just a few of the procedure’s intrinsic risks. Cardiovascular issues were more likely to arise in elderly patients undergoing this surgery. A high risk of pulmonary oedema, arrhythmia, and bleeding problems exists in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), multiple comorbidities, and anticoagulant medication. Case Presentation: Here, we provide a challenging situation of A 74-year-old man was scheduled to have TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tissue) for a bladder mass with hematuria and many comorbidities, including Hypertension (HTN), Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary artery disease (CAD), post percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), ejection fraction (EF) 25%, and Severe MR necessitating obturator nerve block (ONB), spinal anaesthesia (SA), and epidural anaesthesia (EA) for perioperative and postoperative anaesthetic as well as analgesia, which was effectively handled without any difficulties. Conclusion: Elderly patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy are at higher risk of major cardiovascular events perioperatively. Low dose spinal anaesthesia combined with epidural anaesthesia provides better hemodynamic stability, prevents myocardial depression, provide perioperative analgesia and early ambulation.
