A case report of emergency cesarean section in parturient with kyphoscoliosis

Abstract

Anesthesia for emergency cesarean section for the pregnancy with kyphoscoliosis is associated with potential risks for both mother and fetus due to alterations in maternal physiology and the pathological changes seen in kyphoscoliosis. The anesthetic management must include the well-being of both mother and fetus. The need of anesthesia for delivery in pregnant women with kyphoscoliosis is more than the normal parturient. We report the case of a 23-year-old female, full-term primigravida with kyphoscoliosis who was posted for emergency caesarean section. The anesthetic management of this patient is presented here.
