Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients with concurrent medical conditions such as Reactive airway disease presenting for anaesthesia, and surgery have potentially increased risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality if not well managed. OBJECTIVE: To highlight the need for adequate perioperative care and review the evidence for selection of techniques in the anesthesia for such cases" MATERIALS AND METHODS: An illustrative case is presented. CONCLUSION: The main goal of the anaesthetist is to administer safe and sufficient anaestheia without precipitating bronchospasm.
