Abstract

Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state and venous thromboembolism is 10 times more common in pregnancy and is a leading cause of maternal mortality. Anaesthesia in pregnancy is itself challenging. Pulmonary thromboembolism and its management further ads to that challenge. Plan of anaesthesia has to be decided weighing the risk benefit ratio. We hereby report the successful administration of subarachnoid block in non-obese primigravida with diagnosed acute PTE while taking the ASRA guidelines into consideration.
