Anaesthetic management of a parturient with severe pulmonary stenosis undergoing Caesarean section
Abstract
We report the successful management of a parturient with severe pulmonary stenosis undergoing Caesarean section. Anaesthesia was managed with combined spinal and epidural anaesthetic technique. During the intraoperative period, haemodynamic parameters were well maintained. There were no episodes of haemodynamic fluctuations or oxygen desaturation. The patient delivered a full-term, normal foetus.
