Abstract

It has been suggested that cesarean section should be avoided in pregnancies complicated by Eisenmenger's syndrome becauae of high surgical mortality. We had a successful experience of balanced anesthesia for the elective cesarean section on a 25-year-old woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome using demerol, valium and pancuronlum, We did not notice any significant change in blood pressure or blood gas values during perianesthetic period. Careful hemodynamic monitoring is mandatory during perianeathetic period.
