چکیده
PURPOSE To report a case of peripartum dilated cardiomyopathy presenting for emergency caesarean section, this was successfully managed with Epidural Anaesthesia. CLINICAL FEATURES A parturient suffering from idiopathic peripartum cardiomyopathy (E.F. 18%) was brought for an emergency caesarean section. Epidural anaesthesia was performed and 2% Lignocaine with adrenaline total 13 ml was injected into the epidural space. The patient's haemodynamic status was monitored with NIBP, ECG, pulse oximetry. Patient's perioperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSION In patients suffering from peripartum cardiomyopathy, undergoing caesarean section epidural anaesthesia is an acceptable anaesthetic alternative.

We report a case of coarctation of aorta with previous caesarean section who underwent elective caesarean section under combined spinal epidural anaesthesia (CSEA). By continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation in lower limb, perfusion of the body below coarctation site was assessed. Good oxygen saturation in the lower limbs meant good foetal perfusion and good perfusion of vital organs. Thus o...
