Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a case of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as any individual infected with HIV, regardless of clinical stage. Those people affected with HIV/AIDS who undergo surgery are especially vulnerable. Numerous patients have opportunistic respiratory infections, which can complicate anesthesia; HIV/AIDS patients also recover more slowly and have greater difficulty breathing after surgery.
Method: Numerous ongoing controversies in the management of HIV/AIDS patients undergoing surgery are addressed by new recommendations and updates. During the development of an evidence-based recommendation or guideline, the question that it seeks to answer is explicitly defined. After establishing eligibility criteria for the evidence to be used and selecting the best papers from which to collect evidence, the evidence is gathered.
Discussion: It is necessary to inquire about and record AIDS-related conditions such as cardiomyopathy, pulmonary complications, peripheral neuropathy, medications, and episodes of bleeding. ART should be continued in the period preceding surgery, particularly in patients with a high viral load. Using parenteral zidovudine and enfuvirtide drug formulations or via NG tube, ART can reduce viral load during the perioperative period, increasing the safety of the procedure and decreasing the incidence of operative complications in HIV/AIDS patients.
Conclusion: HIV/AIDS is a systemic disease that affects the majority of human body systems, such as perioperative anesthesia management, perioperative morbidity, and mortality rate. Consequently, this patient group must be closely monitored using the critical management techniques outlined in this and related papers.
