Management of a patient with severe anemia is an important anaesthesia challenge. We have reported a case of a 24year old female who presented with a ruptured extra uterine pregnancy. Patient was having a severe anemia. The post-operative period was uneventful and patient was discharged 8 days after surgery. Here we are discussing a management and outcome of this case which was performed under general anesthesia with massive blood transfusion. The duration of surgery was 1 hour 30 min and haemostasis was achieved in this period as well.
