[HSF] As with TR - High risk pts

[Nasser F. Abou'Seada]

"Talking of AS with TR we had a case operated by my colleague- severe
calcific AS in a HBSAg positive patient. Uneventful surgery and patient
weanedwith 3 mics dopa dobut and adlib SNP. Of  ventilator etc over 6
hours. On post op Day 3 developed Afib and severe TR and went into
fulminant hepatic failure and died after 12 days."

Sorry for the loss Prasanna ......... inevitable course ! ... after whatever
time ! ........... incidently... what is the members policy towards such
"high risk" patients ? ... what is the ROUTINE policy towards HIV & HCV /
HBV profile testing ? .... how is that - in reality- affecting the
decision making OF the operating surgeon ??
