ANAESTHESIA FOR CAESAREAN SECTION IN HAEMOGLOBIN SC DISEASE COMPLICATED BY ECLAMPSIA

A Case Report

ROGER EDWARDS, M.B., F.F.A.R.C.S.

Department of Anaesthetics, University of Ghana Medical School Accra.

Patients with haemoglobin SC discase rarely manifest serious clinical symptoms except during pregnancy when eclampsia and crisis commonly occur. Such a patient, who developed eclampsia which was treated with chlormethiazole infusion, and who subsequently underwent Caesarean section under general anaesthesia, is described. This case confirms previous experience that careful attention to detail with a straightforward technique is the most important factor for a successful outcome.

Present address: Department of Anaesthetics, King's College Hospital, London SE5 9RS.
