Abstract
BackgroundEisenmenger syndrome belongs to the 0.4–4.1% (incidence) rarely encountered congenital cardiac lesions in pregnancy. Management of a pregnant patient with Eisenmenger syndrome is a challenging task for the anesthesiologist.Case presentationHere, we report the successful outcome with the use of low-dose sequential combined spinal–epidural (CSE) anesthesia in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome posted for cesarean section. Low-dose sequential CSE anesthesia was adequate for the performance of cesarean section with minimal hemodynamic changes and good fetal outcome.ConclusionLow-dose sequential CSE can be a safe alternative to achieve good anesthesia with hemodynamic stability in such case.
