Ventricular Tachycardia and Hypotension with Amniotic Fluid Embolism during Cesarean Section

Received from the Department of Anesthesiology, Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University of Chicago, Maywood, Illinois.

Abstract

Obstetrical patients presenting with acute or chronic hypertension usually do not develop myocardial ischemia or arrhythmias during cesarean section. We report a case of life-threatening ventricular tachycardia in a hypertensive patient secondary to documented amniotic fluid embolism during cesarean section under lumbar epidural analgesia.
