Abstract

Distal acquired demyelinating symmetric (DADS) neuropathy is a form of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) which can present many risks to patients undergoing anesthesia. There are currently no specific guidelines for the management of patients with any form of CIDP. This case report describes a 65-year-old male with DADS neuropathy who underwent elective total hip arthroplasty. General, total IV anesthesia was used in combination with other short-acting drugs and the patient endured a successful procedure with an uneventful post-operative course. This case may provide future insight into the anesthetic management of patients with similar comorbidities.
