Sumario: | JUSTIFICATION AND OBJECTIVES: Patients affected by gynecological or gastrointestinal tract neoplasms that evolve to peritoneal carcinomatosis experience a significant drop in their quality of life, high morbidity and short survival times with currently available chemotherapeutic schemes. The surgical treatment based on cytoreduction and the employment of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the intra-operative period is a true challenge to anesthesiologist. CASE REPORT: A 67 years old patient diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the Appendix associated with mucinous carcinomatosis, was submitted to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), under general anesthesia and epidural block. Volume replacement was performed with crystalloids, colloids and blood products to support an important ascites volume drained during the procedure. The target was the strict control of hydro-electrolytic and acid-basic equilibrium. The patient was referred to the ICU and evolved to a hospital discharge on the third postoperative day. CONCLUSION: The neoplastic compromise of the peritoneum has long been considered to be a pre-terminal state. The advent of CRS/HIPEC represent an alternative promising with numerous challenges to the anesthesiologist regarding the metabolic and hemodynamic adjustment, which once again demand training and ongoing study from the perioperative team. |
