    Abstract Introduction: Hypotension remains one of the most common problems associated with subarachnoid blockade. A number of strategies have been developed for its prevention, of which administration of fluids prior to subarachnoid block holds the importance. Gelatin is a colloidal plasma volume expander obtained from degraded gelatine. It is as effective as albumin solution in the treatment of spinal induced hypotension. Aim: To compare the incidence and frequency of hypotension after subarachnoid block in patients receiving colloid (polymerised gelatin) or crystalloid (0.9% normal saline) as prehydration and compare side-effects of colloid and crystalloid prehydration. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients scheduled for elective Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) surgery were selected to participate in this prospective randomised double-blind study for a period of two years from April 2006 to April 2008. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 30 patients each. Group H received 500 mL of polymerised gelatine (Haemaccel) solution and group N received 1000 mL of 0.9% normal saline15 minutes prior to subarachnoid block. Intraoperative monitoring includes SBP, DBP, MAP and HR for 30 minutes. Incidence of hypotension and number of mephentermine boluses were noted. Statistical analysis of data was determined with Mann-Whitney U test and analysis of variance for repeated measures (ANOVA). Chi-square test was used to find out possible associations. Result: After spinal anaesthesia mean systolic blood pressure decreased in both the groups and was lower in group N compared to group H (97±18.9 vs 102±9.26 mmHg). There was fall in diastolic blood pressure in both the groups and was maximum at 20th minute in group N and group H (66.37±5.47 vs 64.67±10.30). There was highly significant (p<0.01) fall in mean arterial pressure in group N. The change in the heart rate was highly significant (p<0.01) at different time interval in both the groups. Vasopressor was required in 90% and 60% patients in ...

    Abstract Eisenmenger′s syndrome is a cyanotic congenital heart disease that includes pulmonary hypertension with reversed or bidirectional shunt associated with septal defects or patent ductus arteriosus. The decreased systemic vascular resistance associated with pregnancy increases the degree of right to left shunting, thereby carrying substantial risk to both the mother and the foetus. The maternal mortality rate of pregnancy in the presence of Eisenmenger′s syndrome is reported to be as high as 30-70%. We present a case of a 22-year-old primigravida with Eisenmenger′s syndrome who gave birth at 37 weeks of gestation via caesarean section to a live female baby under general anaesthesia. On the third post-operative day, the patient developed tachycardia, tachypnoea, hypotension and decrease in oxygen saturation despite supplemental oxygen, clinically suspected pulmonary thromboembolism. We describe the anaesthetic management for caesarean section and its complications in a patient with Eisenmenger′s syndrome. Although pregnancy should be discouraged in women with Eisenmenger′s syndrome, it can be successful.
