Eisenmenger Syndrome For Caesarean Section - A Case Report
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Initially described by Victor Eisenmenger and redefined by Wood, Eisenmenger syndrome is essentially presence of high pulmonary vascular resistance associated with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) at, or close to, systemic pressure and associated with a reversed or bi-directional shunt at the aortopulmonary, interatrial or interventricular level. Pregnancy in a patient with this condition causes deterioration due to the physiological cardiovascular changes of pregnancy. Such patients presenting for caesarean section is a major anaesthetic challenge which needs multidisciplinary management. We describe our experience with such a case.
