Title: Anaesthetic management of labour and caesarean delivery of a patient with hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis. Author: Mackenzie MJ, Pickering E, Yentis SM. Journal: Int J Obstet Anesth; 2006 Oct; 15(4):329-31. PubMed ID: 16774829. Abstract: We describe a parturient with hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis who presented for induction of labour and subsequently, caesarean section. Epidural analgesia and anaesthesia were used successfully in a multidisciplinary plan aimed at avoiding a peripartum attack and providing safe delivery. Management of this rare condition is discussed along with a review of the available literature.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
