Emergency cesarean delivery in a parturient who had an intractable paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia -A case report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common arrhythmia in the parturient and can occur with or without an underlying organic heart disease. A woman of 35 weeks' gestation, who had a paroxysmal SVT that was resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs and electric cardioversion, required emergency Cesarean delivery. The Cesarean delivery was performed under spinal anesthesia and a healthy baby was delivered uneventfully. SVT spontaneously converted to normal sinus rhythm right after delivery of the baby.

Intractable paroxysmal tachycardia caused by a concealed retrogradely conducting Kent bundle. Demonstration by epicardial mapping and cure of tachycardias by surgical interruption of the His bundle.
Electrophysiological and epicardial mapping studies are described in a patient without pre-excitation who had intractable recurrent paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Electrophysiological studies revealed fixed VA conduction times during both rapid ventricular pacing and coupled ventricular stimulation. Catheter mapping of atrial activation during retrograde conduction and during induced ...
متن کاملWPW Syndrome: Intricacies of Anesthetic Management in Cesarean Delivery
The Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is one of the major causes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia during pregnancy. Both incidence and symptoms of PSVT are exacerbated during pregnancy and may significantly affect maternal and fetal outcomes during caesarean delivery. We outline the anesthetic management of a patient with WPW syndrome undergoing caesarean delivery.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is the most common symptomatic arrhythmia during pregnancy.1 Although PSVT is usually considered transient and harmless, its association with maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy are unknown.2–4 In this study, we used a national population cohort to measure the associations between PSVT events during pregnancy and maternal or fetal outcomes...

A 26-year-old parturient with Eisenmenger's syndrome and complete atrioventricular block was presented for emergency Cesarean section due to preterm labor. Ventricular tachycardia (VT), which progressed to ventricular fibrillation (VF), started immediately after the incision. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with electric shocks was given by anesthesiologists while the obstetrician delivered the b...
متن کاملA Case Report of Neonatal Atrial Flutter with Poor Feeding and Tachypnea
Background: Arrhythmias in neonates are not common and usually affect newborns with a normal heart or those that suffer from structural heart disease. A malignant type of arrhythmias is supraventricular tachycardia. Meanwhile, one uncommon type of supraventricular arrhythmias is atrial flutter (AFL), which is founded upon reentry mechanisms in the atrium. The AFL may result in heart failure or ...
