Why the study?
Maternal physiological and kyphoscoliosis-related pathological changes cause anaesthetic complications during caesarean section with risks to mother and fetus, requiring safe and skilled management.
General anaesthesia was utilized for caesarean section in a parturient with kyphoscoliosis and pre-eclampsia.
General anesthesia feasible in kyphoscoliosis with preeclampsia; leaves open optimal technique selection pending controlled data.
Alterations in maternal physiology and pathological changes in kyphoscoliosis results in anaesthetic complications for caesarean section with potential risk for both mother and fetus. Safe and skilled anaesthetic management to minimize risk to mother and fetus is required. We report a case of 25-year-old female, with G2P1L1, with 28 weeks of period of gestation, with history of previous caesarean section, with pre-eclampsia, with kyphoscoliosis in labour with contracted pelvis, managed by general anaesthesia for caesarean section.
