Abstract

Hemophilia A is a congenital bleeding disorder with low factor VIII levels in the blood. We report the anesthetic management of a hemophilic patient presenting with trauma in the left forearm. Patient received Factor VIII perioperatively with no excessive blood loss intraoperatively. We stress that adequate preoperative preparation and a planned anesthesia leads to a successful management of hemophilic patients.
