Abstract

The preoperative evaluation of a patient for anesthesia is the cornerstone for perioperative management plans. The following case report details the importance of medical interview in a parturient with suspected pseudocholinesterase deficiency and documented immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and shows that anesthetic complications can be avoided by a rigorous preoperative anamnesis.
