AbstractIn cases of hydrops foetalis, respiratory management is frequently required after delivery. We experienced 7 anesthetic managements for cesarean section in patients with hydrops foetalis. Spinal anesthesia was performed in 3 patients, because the transition of local anesthesia through the placenta was little. On the other hand, general anesthesia was performed in 4 patients because of babies requiring endotracheal intubation or fetal anesthesia immediately after a delivery. Before surgery, we discussed perioperative and anesthetic management among pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and obstetricians in a conference. Since the anesthetic drugs used for the cesarean section have great influences on the fetus, the choice of anesthesia should be performed based on fetal conditions.
