Can anesthesia be administered to a patient with diabetes?
Unfortunately you have given me little to work on. How old is your husband and particularly how long has he been diabetic and are we dealing with a superficial infection or something more complex such as osteomyelitis. Blood supply is critical to healing and diabetes can virtually destroy critical microcirculation to the feet and portends a poor prognosis in salvage of the foot and eventually the lower leg. I have no idea as to your husband’s cardiac, pulmonary or renal status. Does he have a peripheral neuropathy? Many advanced diabetics have such numbness in their feet that are virtually anesthetic. An important consideration as well is your husbands BMI. The two most important factors are to get your husband in optimal medical condition as time permits and select a board certified anesthesiologist competent in regional anesthesia. This is not medical advice as I have inadequate information regarding your husband. A board certified anesthesiologist can usually manage such a problem as it is not uncommon. Additionally, I would explore the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy both pre and post operatively to enhance healing. May God bless. Best regards, William E. Webb, Jr., M.D. READ MORE
