  • Title: Anesthetic management of labor in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
    Author: Cordone M, Wolfson A, Wolfson N, Penning D.
    Journal: Int J Obstet Anesth; 2008 Jan; 17(1):57-60. PubMed ID: 17693077.
    Abstract:
    Laboring patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries present an interesting challenge to anesthesiologists because of the physiological changes that take place during pregnancy and the stress induced by labor. This paper describes the detailed management of a symptomatic parturient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. The patient was managed with epidural analgesia instituted early in labor with a continuous low-concentration infusion of local anesthetic and opioid but without an initial bolus. She underwent uneventful forceps-assisted vaginal delivery.
