[Anesthetic management of a patient with protein C deficiency associated with pulmonary thromboembolism].
A patient with protein C deficiency associated with massive pulmonary embolism underwent open heart tromboembolectomy. The operation was successfully performed under cardiopulmonary bypass using a usual dose of heparin 3 mg.kg-1. The effect of heparin was successfully reversed by the administration of protamine sulfate 6 mg.kg-1. Perioperative administration of fresh frozen plasma or protein C concentrates might be necessary to manage hypercoagulability in a patient with protein C deficiency.
