Abstract

Abstract

Viral hepatitis is a disease which causes an enormous amount of morbidity and mortality.There are several types with which the anaesthetist should be familiar, some of which represent occupational hazards while others are part of the differential diagnosis in the patient who develops hepatitis postoperatively.Hepatitis can occur due to infections, alcoholism, drugs and metabolic disorders. Infectious hepatitis especially viral is not only common, but also has most serious implications. Anaesthesiologist may have to evaluate, prepare and anaesthetize patient of hepatitis for various surgeries on elective, semi elective or emergency basis.. The write up also includes important perioperative considerations for the operative procedures.
