Summary: | Sir, A 58-year-old male patient presented with a history of sudden onset of the left upper quadrant pain and vomiting from 6 days following the lifting of bucket filled with water. Spontaneous rupture can be due to violent cough, [1],[2] during vaginal delivery [3] physical activity, [2] violent vomiting and defecation. Anesthetic management of these patients is quite challenging in view of an emergency nature of surgery with inadequate time to patient optimization, unstable hemodynamics, high probability of hypoxemia and rapid desaturation, full stomach, fluid deficit, electrolyte imbalance and need for one lung ventilation. |
