This case study highlights the complex perioperative risks and management of renal compromise and physiological impairment following emergency laparotomy.
May warrant heightened monitoring for renal impairment in emergency laparotomy; single case leaves open optimal management strategies.
This is a case study of a 45 year old male patient who underwent an emergency laparotomy procedure. Perioperative risks and associated postoperative outcomes could occur from the complex interaction between the patient's physical health status, the actual surgery performed, anaesthetic procedure and intra/postoperative events. The patient experienced renal compromise and physiological impairment during surgery. This article discusses his assessment and management as well as the various factors which have an impact upon his physiology.
