Abstract

Patients with an extremely large, burnt surface area have a high mortality rate. The follow-up, treatment, and intraoperative anesthesia practices of these patients in the ICU pose serious challenges. In this case, the experience of anesthesia and analgesia using cervical epidural anesthesia, which is not frequently used in anesthesia routine, applied to a patient with a 90% burnt surface area is shared. It was aimed to evaluate the contribution of effective non-opioid analgesia, early mobilization, and nutrition applied to the patient’s recovery.
