AbstractSubstance abuse has become increasingly prevalent: illegal drugs have profound and varied physiologic effects which create a large potential for anesthetic problems and complications (1). Amphetamine is a strong sympathomimetic and may therefore influence the course of anesthesia. We report the case of a patient with acute amphetamine abuse presenting difficulties during anesthesia.
