We experienced anesthetic management of open reduction for a femoral neck fracture in a patient com- plicated with fat embolism syndrome. An 83-year-old woman with a femoral neck fracture was admitted to our hospital after suffering an injury. She developed hypoxemia on admission. Chest X-ray showed a decrease in permeability of the right lung and chest CT scan showed ground glass opacities of the right lung. A blood test showed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevation of C-reactive protein. She was diagnosed with fat embolism syndrome using the classification of Tsuruta. Oxygen was administered. C-reactive protein decreased gradually after hospitalization. Echocardiog- raphy showed normal left ventricular function without pulmonary hypertension. She was scheduled for open reduction for the femoral neck fractu-e with artificial grit insertion under general anesthesia 6 days after hospitalization. Her operation was performed with- out exacerbation of the fat embolism syndrome. She was extubated in the operating room, and was dis- charged from the recovery room without any conpli- cations. After surgery, chest X-ray showed further improvement and she was transferred to a rehabilita- tion hospital on the 27th hospital day.
