Cholecystectomy under segmental thoracic epidural block in a patient with twin gestation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cholecystectomy represents the second most common surgery during pregnancy. Both general and regional anesthetic techniques have been successfully used for cholecystectomy in pregnant patients. Authors present here a case of a pregnant patient carrying twin gestation who underwent cholecystectomy, which is not frequently encountered by the anesthesiologists. This report enumerates the perioperative issues relating to anesthesia given to a pregnant patient in addition to emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approach when such a case is encountered.

Editor’s key points † Thoracic epidural analgesia is associated with rare but potentially serious complications. † In the setting of lung surgery single-shot intercostal block (ICB) offers an alternative modality of postoperative regional analgesia. † This study compared PCEA with single-shot ICB combined with PCA. ICB with PCA was not as effective as PCEA with respect to postoperative pain con...
