History Of

Subarachnoid block is commonly employed for caesarean deliveries, by virtue of its simplicity in terms of performance, safety for the parturients as compared to general anesthesia. The case history of a 27-yearold female parturiant patient is presented. She was posted for emergency lower segment caesarean section in view of primigravida with breech presentation in labour . She was obese with bodyweight of 102 kg. She had a thick scaly plaque over the back in midline from L1 to L5 area, which is contraindication for administration of spinal anaesthesia via standard median and paramedian approach . Taylor’s approach for administration of the same was tried and proved successful, thus saving the patient from receiving general anaesthesia .

Uterine Relaxation

Supplementation of general anaesthesia with enflurane 0.6% before delivery of the foetus by elective Caesarean section, produced contrasting effects after methohexitone and ketamine administration. Enflurane, an inhalational agent causing vasodilation and uterine relaxation, enhanced maternal to foetal transplacental exchange following methohexitone induction of narcosis. This beneficial effect of the volatile agent was not seen after ketamine, a vasoconstrictor drug which stimulates myometrial contraction.
