ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF PERIPARTUM CARDIOMYOPATHY: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 16
Abstract
Anaesthetic management for caesarean section of a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) can be challenging. These patients require analgesia/anaesthesia for normal delivery or caesarean section. In this case report we describe the anaesthetic management of a 20-year-old patient at 37 weeks of gestation, with peripartum cardiomyopathy, heart failure and pulmonary oedema. She was scheduled for emergency caesarean section because of a threat to mother’s life and fetal distress. GA was induced with Etomidate and fentanyl safely. No adverse outcome on mother or new born was observed.
