Abstract :

Anaesthetic Management of an elderly patient with ischemic heart disease with low EF(<35%) coming for non cardiac surgery is always challenging. To the best of our knowledge very few case reports have been reported on regional anesthesia for IHD patient for non cardiac surgeries. Hence, we report the successful management of a patient with IHD for left inguinal hernia repair under regional anesthesia (modified hernia block).
