INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Routine general anesthesia with tracheal intubation is an undesirable and risky technique in individuals with pre-existing chronic respiratory diseases undergoing abdominal surgery. Instead, other modalities of regional anesthesia, such as combined thoracic spinal -epidural anesthesia, could be used as the only anesthetic technique with more excellent health care outcomes.
CASE PRESENTATION: We introduce a 72-year-old morbidly obese female with multiple comorbidities who underwent successful open surgical repair for incarcerated abdominal hernia under awake combined thoracic spinal -epidural anesthesia. The procedure proceeded smoothly without any cardio-pulmonary complications. The patient was then admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit for close monitoring. Six days later, she was discharged home with good general status without any complications.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Superior results are reported for combined thoracic spinal -epidural anesthesia over GA in reducing postoperative respiratory events and enhancing outcomes by blunting the stress response. In particular, in challenging airways, combined thoracic spinal -epidural anesthesia offers various benefits, one of which is reducing airway handling. Hemodynamic stability is another frequently mentioned feature.
CONCLUSION: Patients with high-risk conditions are a big challenge for anesthesiologists. The standard practice of general anesthesia should be avoided in this group of patients, as it exposes them to many threats. In this report, we highly advocate using regional anesthesia in this group of patients. This type of anesthesia significantly decreases intra and post-operative anesthetic complications.
