Conclusion
The anaesthetic management of caesarean sections in patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome can be successfully achieved with careful monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach.
Supporting Evidence
- The first patient underwent general anaesthesia and unfortunately died post-operatively.
- The second patient had an uneventful caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia and both mother and baby were well six months later.
Takeaway
This study looked at two pregnant women with a serious heart condition who had C-sections. One did well, but the other sadly passed away after surgery.
Methodology
The study involved a case report of two patients managed by a multidisciplinary team during their caesarean sections, detailing their anaesthetic management and outcomes.
Limitations
The study is based on only two case reports, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
