Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Although epidural anesthesia is routinely practiced in all of the major clinical settings, accidental subdural and subarachnoid block still remains its poorly understood complication with its variable clinical presentation. Here, we are describing a 29 years old primigravida who was in labor after premature rupture of membranes .Patient was given lumbar epidural anesthesia following which she developed an episode of supraventricular tachycardia along with complete lower limb motor block and sensory block upto T4 after giving test dose of local anesthetic solution. An emergency caesarean section was performed. She was successfully managed. Hence, patients receiving epidural anesthesia should be closely observed for any such untoward complication.
