Abstract

With the increase in life expectancy, nowadays we commonly come across with patients with many comorbidities, which make them high risk for general anesthesia. In these patients, regional anesthesia becomes a preferred choice because of its better safety profile and lesser risk of morbidity and mortality. We describe management of a patient with interstitial lung disease for wide local excision of tongue lesion with neck dissection under regional anesthesia.
