Kiran N, Ravi Madhusudhana*, Somasekharam P, Dinesh K, Manjunath T.
ABSTRACT
General Anaesthesia for Deaf and Dumb can be a challenging
experience, even though after proper preoperative evaluation and good
rapport building with the patient. We would like to emphasize on
preoperative Rapport building and use of simple sign language ( in
compliance with American sign language) for conduct of general
anaesthesia safely and effectively.
Keywords: Deaf, Dumb, General anaesthesia, Sign Language.
