Anaesthetic Management of A Case of Parkinson′s Disease for Emergency Laparotomy Using Enteral Levo-dopa Intraoperatively

Abstract

Parkinson′s disease is a relatively common neurological disorder. Few case reports are available regarding optimal anaes-thetic management of patients with Parkinson′s disease. Here we present successful anaesthetic management of a case of suspected ileal perforation with Parkinson′s disease for emergency laparotomy. Enteral route of levo-dopa administration was used throughout general anaesthesia.
