Anesthetic management in high-risk surgical patients poses unique challenges that demand a nuanced and tailored approach. This review explores the multifaceted challenges associated with administering anesthesia to individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, advanced age, or other risk factors. From preoperative assessment to intraoperative care and postoperative recovery, anesthesiologists must navigate complexities to optimize patient outcomes. The abstract delves into the specific challenges encountered in high-risk scenarios, addressing issues such as hemodynamic instability, compromised respiratory function, and potential drug interactions. Strategies for risk stratification, monitoring, and individualized anesthetic plans are discussed. The review also highlights technological advancements and evolving practices in anesthetic management that aim to enhance patient safety and improve perioperative care. As the landscape of surgery continues to evolve, this abstract emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive and adaptive approach to anesthetic management in high-risk surgical patients.
