Case Report
Anesthetic Management in a Gravida with Type IV Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Table 2
Osteogenesis imperfecta challenges in the perioperative setting.
| Perioperative phase | OI specific anesthetic challenge |
| Preoperative | Hypovolemic shock Blood loss Anticipation of difficulty of intubation NPO status Gravida status |
| Intraoperative | Positioning Hemodynamic monitoring: noninvasive versus invasive PIV placement Airway control: tracheal intubation technique Dental and oral trauma avoidance General anesthetic agent: inhalational versus TIVA Ventilation and oxygenation management Hemodynamic management Hemostasis Extubation |
| Postoperative | Ventilation and oxygenation management Pain control |
