Abstract
- It is a well known fact that the major craniofacial operation is a complicated procedure. In this procedure, the operative period is extremely long and blood loss is large, extremely difficult to estimate and continuous into the early postoperative period. The air was should be protected intraoperatively and postoperatively due to frequent airway obstruction. We had experienced of an anesthetic management for correction of hypertelorism. Anesthetic management of this case should focus on reduction intracranial pressure and volume. WE had performed neurolept anesthesia with controlled hyperventilation. The careful monitoring and frequent measuring of blood gas analysis, hematocrit, hourly urine output, electrolytes, body temperature, CVP, ECG, and acid-base balance status are recommended. We report a case of anesthetic management for a patient.
