- Abstract
- A 26-year-old parturient with Eisenmenger’s syndrome and complete atrioventricular block was presented for emergency Cesarean section due to preterm labor. Ventricular tachycardia (VT), which progressed to ventricular fibrillation (VF), started immediately after the incision. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with electric shocks was given by anesthesiologists while the obstetrician delivered the baby between the shocks. A cardiac surgeon was ready for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation institution in case of emergency but spontaneous circulation of the patient returned after the 3rd shock and the delivery of the baby. The newborn’s Apgar score was 4 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes. An implantable cardioverterdefibrillator was inserted before the discharge because the patient had recurrent episodes of VT and VF postoperatively. © The Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, 2015.
