Incremental spinal anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section in a patient with Eisenmengers syndrome
Department of Anaesthesia, Leeds General Infirmary, Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX, UK*Corresponding author
We describe a new approach to anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section in a woman with Eisenmengers syndrome. Incremental regional anaesthesia was performed using a microspinal catheter and haemodynamic monitoring included transthoracic bioimpedance cardiography. This approach allowed the disadvantages of general anaesthesia and invasive cardiac output monitoring to be avoided.
