Abstract
|
|
|
|
Autonomic dysreflexia is a syndrome of uninhibited sympathetic spinal reflexes in response to stimuli below the level of injury in the patients with high spinal lesions. During labor, it can cause uteroplacental vasoconstriction resulting in fetal distress or devastating maternal complications including retinal hemorrhage, cerebrovascular accident and hypertensive encephalopathy. Neuraxial blockade has proven to be an effective method to attenuate or prevent it. We present a case detailing the use of epidural analgesia in managing the delivery of a quadriplegic parturient with a history of autonomic dysreflexia.
