Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Parturient with pre-existing central nervous system disorder like motor neuron disease poses a unique challenge to the anaesthesiologist. The choice of proper anaesthetic technique is still contentious and depends on patient’s condition at the time of presentation. We describe the anaesthetic management of a patient with motor neuron disease presented for emergency caesarean delivery. Keywords:Motor Neuron Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Pregnancy, Emergency Caesarean Delivery, General anaesthesia, i-gel supraglottic airway device.
