Key result
This case report discusses the anesthetic management of a pregnant woman with congenital complete atrioventricular block without a pacemaker who experienced failed spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery.
Why the study?
There is no consensus regarding the anesthetic management of cesarean delivery in pregnant women with congenital complete atrioventricular block.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the anesthetic management challenges and approach to failed spinal anesthesia in a pregnant patient with congenital complete AVB without a pacemaker undergoing cesarean delivery.
May prompt backup anesthesia plans for cesarean in congenital AV block; leaves open optimal strategies without higher-level evidence.
Cesarean Delivery under Spinal Anesthesia in a Parturient Having Complete Atrioventricular Block without Pacemaker and Failed Spinal Anesthesia ManagementAlthough congenital complete atrioventricular block (AVB) is rare, it constitutes a very important comorbidity in pregnant women, because it can be mortal due to the cardiovascular physiological changes during pregnancy and delivery.There is no consensus for anesthetic management of cesarean delivery of pregnant women with congenital complete AVB.In this case report, we aimed to discuss our approach to failed spinal anesthesia for a parturient with congenital AVB scheduled to undergo cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia in the light of the literature.
