Cytoreductive surgeries (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has become a multimodal treatment option for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. A 56-year-old female diagnosed with ovarian mucinous cystadenoma+appendicular neoplasm was posted for CRS and HIPEC. The patient a diabetic; a central venous catheter was cited to the right internal jugular vein; an epidural catheter was cited. Anaesthesia was performed according to institutional guidelines; the arterial line was secured, and an oesophageal thermometer was placed intra-operatively. Successive blood gas analysis was done in the intraoperative period for correction of metabolic and electrolyte disturbances; blood sugars were monitored regularly; and adequate volume replacement was done with crystalloids and blood products. HIPEC involves the administration of chemoactive drugs; personal protective equipment was worn by all those in the operation theater as a safety measure. Temperature management is of utmost importance; warmed fluid infusion, warming blankets, and warmers were used. The total duration of the procedure was 8 hours. Post-operatively, the patient was shifted to the ICU with an endotracheal tube for elective ventilation, closely monitored in the acute care unit, and extubated the next day.
