TI  - Anaesthesia in sickle-cell states: a plea for simplicity.
PG  - 596-8
AB  - 505 patients with various haemoglobinopathies were given a general anaesthetic 
      between January 1970 and February 1972. One patient with haemoglobin SC disease 
      and one patient with sickle-cell trait (HbAS) died postoperatively. Four other 
      patients who were sickling positive, but whose genotypes were unknown, died, one 
      from sickle-cell crisis precipitated by haemorrhage.A simple anaesthetic 
      technique together with good postoperative care can provide safe general 
      anaesthesia for patients with sickle-cell states. A plea is made for simplicity 
      in the anaesthetic management of these patients.
