Keywords:

Introduction: Dog bite wounds affect individuals of all ages. Sometimes the anesthesiologist must face the care of patients with this condition.
Objective: To describe the anesthetic behavior in a patient who received urgent surgical treatment due to an infected wound by dog bite.
Case report: 56-year-old female patient, white skin color, with a history of hypertension under treatment, who attended due to an infected wound on the left lower limb due to a canine bite. Antimicrobial treatment was indicated and two days later, by the administration of general orotracheal anesthesia, the lower limb was amputated. The postoperative period was uneventful.
Conclusions: Limb amputation in patients with canine bite is infrequent and the administration of general orotracheal anesthesia for anesthesiological management ensures the efficacy of surgical treatment.
DeCS: SURGICAL WOUND/complications; SURGICAL WOUND INFECTION; WOUNDS AND INJURIES; AMPUTATION, TRAUMATIC; ANESTHESIA, GENERAL.
