Why the study?
Morbidly obese parturients require specialized anesthetic care for safe delivery, and regional anesthesia is considered safer than general anesthesia for cesarean section in super morbid obese parturients.
Regional anesthesia can be successfully and safely used for cesarean section in super morbid obese parturients.
Regional anesthesia feasible for cesarean in super morbid obese parturients despite challenges; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
Morbidly obese parturient requires specialized anesthetic care for safe labour and delivery. Regional anesthesia is considered safer than general anesthesia for cesarean section in super morbid obese parturient. We present this case to discuss anesthetic challenges associated with regional anesthesia and our approach in successful management of cesarean section in super morbid obese parturient.
