What is Anesthesia for Amputation Surgery about?

This chapter examines the perioperative anesthetic concerns for patients undergoing amputation surgery of the upper or lower extremity. Most amputation surgeries, particularly of the lower extremity, are the result of peripheral artery disease (PAD). This chapter discusses multiple comorbid conditions associated with PAD, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, tobacco use, and sepsis and how they impact risk stratification and anesthetic management. It also discusses pertinent anatomical considerations, intraoperative management with general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, and/or regional anesthesia. It also discusses short- and long-term postoperative outcomes, including major adverse cardiac events and chronic phantom limb pain as well as strategies to improve outcomes.
