Abstract
The anaesthetic management of a parturient with mitral stenosis is presented and discussed. In particular, the beneficial effects of epidural anaesthesia for vaginal delivery are described with respect to the significant improvement noted in haemodynamic parameters. The information derived from the pulmonary artery catheter greatly assisted the management of the patient throughout labour and in the puerperium.Keywords
