What is the perioperative risk of general or spinal anesthesia for major noncardiac surgery in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy?
The risk of general anesthesia and major noncardiac surgery is low in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, though spinal anesthesia may be relatively contraindicated.
R. C. Thompson (1985) conducted an observational in Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (n=35). General or spinal anesthesia was evaluated on Operative or related perioperative deaths and significant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. General anesthesia for major noncardiac surgery in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy carried a low risk, with 0 perioperative deaths among 35 patients.
