| Popis: | Summary HIV infection is widely prevalent and the infected patient may present with varied and protean signs and symptoms. Opportunistic infections of the airway, lungs, and central and peripheral nervous systems challenge the anesthesiologist to develop an effective management plan. The patient's condition must be optimized before induction of anesthesia and surgery by appropriate treatment of the infection and evaluation of possible barriers to ventilation and intubation. No anesthetic plan is ideal, and there may be only limited indications for regional anesthesia. |
