Key result
General anaesthesia yields satisfactory maternal and neonatal outcomes during caesarean section in severe pulmonary stenosis.
Why the study?
Cardiocirculatory changes during pregnancy impose a significant haemodynamic burden, leading to morbidity and mortality in women with cardiac disease.
General anaesthesia can be safely used for elective caesarean section in patients with severe pulmonary stenosis.
Hypothesis-generating for general anaesthesia in caesarean with severe pulmonary stenosis; prospective data needed before wider use.
Cardio circulatory changes associated with pregnancy result in a signicant haemodynamic burden and lead to morbidity and even mortality in women with cardiac disease. We report a rare case of severe pulmonary stenosis who underwent elective caesarean section under general anaesthesia with satisfactory maternal and neonatal outcome
