[Anesthesia for patients receiving hemodialysis--a report of 122 cases]

A hundred and twenty-two cases of anesthesia for patients receiving hemo-dialysis were reported and peri-operative management of them was analyzed, retrospectively. For the past ten years, most of the patients were anesthetized with neurolept-anesthesia and post-operative mechanical ventilation was continued until the patients regained stable hemodynamics and complete awareness. The procedures of pre-operative hemo-dialysis and intraoperative management were almost compatible with previous reports. In the cases of emergency operation, pre-operative control was not enough and intra-operative water intake was larger than that of scheduled cases. The detailed analysis of peri-operative management of water which affects the pathophysiological state of each patient will be the problem in future.
