Rheumatoid arthritis can be a major challenge to the anaesthetist, the principal problem being a difficult upper airway. Additional risks may arise because of cardiovascular and pulmonary involvement. The drugs used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis also affect the anaesthetic management of these patients.
