title: [Anesthetic aspects of heart tamponade due to amebic liver abscess. A case report].
abstract: The problem of tamponade due to rupture of an amoebic abscess, although rare, is extremely complex, and in the planning of the anaesthetic technique the following factors should receive attention: (i) the low cardiac output in which bradycardia, vasodilation, high inflation pressures and excessive fluid load must be avoided: (ii) pulmonary complications in which a double-lumen endotracheal tube should be considered; and (iii) sepsis.
