Additionally, this cancer usually presents in elderly patients who are often frail and suffering from multiple comorbidities. The global prevalence of multiple myeloma is steadily increasing, with therapeutic advances contributing to improved survival. There are several complications of multiple myeloma that the anaesthetist needs to be aware of arising from the disease itself, specific and supportive treatments adverse effects, as well as underlying patient complexities. The preoperative period demands a comprehensive, systematic assessment that identifies and optimises disease- and treatment-related complications, quantifies frailty, addresses anaemia through patient blood management principles, and stratifies thrombotic risk. Intraoperative management requires careful individualisation of anaesthetic technique in the absence of multiple myeloma-specific evidence-based guidelines, with particular vigilance directed at airway complexity, haemodynamic instability, heightened bleeding risk, and challenging pain management. Postoperative care must sustain these principles, with early attention to renal function, pain control, thromboprophylaxis, and the prompt recognition of the infectious complications to which this population is disproportionately vulnerable. Unfortunately, the literature on anaesthesia in the context of multiple myeloma is sparse, largely limited to isolated case reports. As a consequence, this article's predominantly PubMed-based search strategy (included in supplementary materials) required a wide search to allow for perioperative recommendations that are necessarily extrapolated from broader oncological, haematological, and surgical evidence. As such, this article offers a comprehensive review of anaesthetic considerations in multiple myeloma, addressing an important gap in current practice guidance.</p>","PeriodicalId":520410,"journal":{"name":"European journal of anaesthesiology and intensive care","volume":"5 4","pages":"e0124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13568272/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148957829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these updated recommendations, prolonged preoperative fasting remains common in clinical practice. Contributing factors include outdated protocols, miscommunication, logistical constraints, operating room scheduling, too low priority and variability in guideline implementation. Such practices not only diminish patient comfort but may also lead to metabolic disturbances, with children being especially susceptible.

The anaesthetist must deliver a safe and effective shared airway management strategy. This strategy is aimed at optimising the surgical view and access to pathology, whilst avoiding airway obstruction, maintaining oxygenation, facilitating carbon dioxide clearance, and minimising the risk of airway fire. Various strategies exist to achieve this depending on the location, size and nature of the pathology, patient anatomy and comorbidities, and operating team experience. One such approach is apnoeic oxygenation using high-flow nasal oxygen. Over the last decade, this has become a widely adopted 'tubeless' anaesthetic technique; nevertheless, it cannot be used in all patients, for all pathologies, by all operating teams. Though our understanding of the physiological principles continues to evolve, it is clear that to deliver this technique optimally, there are several important considerations that the surgical, nursing and anaesthetic teams must be aware of. A collaborative team-based approach to case selection and planning is essential. This must be paired with an appreciation of the limitations of the technique and the need to have an immediately deliverable rescue oxygenation strategy in place.
