[Anesthetic Management of a Pregnant Woman Undergoing Cesarean Section and Intestinal Tract Perforation Restoration].

Abstract

We describe anesthetic management of a pregnant woman (weight 42 kg, height 147 cm) with ileus, requiring emergency cesarean section and ileus operation. Cesarean section was performed under spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia, and ileus operation was performed under total intravenous general anesthesia. During ileus operation, the blood pressure decreased to 60/30 mmHg and the heart rate increased to 140 beats x min, indicating the intestinal traction syndrome. Repeated injections of phenylephrine 0.1 mg and albumin preparation 5% 1,500 ml were required to restore blood pressure. After the operation, the patient's trachea was extubated. The last level of the spinal anesthesia was T6.
