AbstractA 37-year-old parturient with severe preeclampsia accompanied by pulmonary edema underwent emergency cesarean section. Pulmonary artery (PA) catheter inserted while the patient was awake revealed hyperdynamic state with increased cardiac index and preload, and decreased systemic vascular resistance. Epidural anesthesia and analgesia were provided with a satisfactory outcome. Monitoring of PA pressure and cardiac index was continued postoperatively in ICU for fluid management. We conclude that preoperative PA catheterization provides useful hemodynamic information in severe preeclamptic patients associated with persistent oliguria, pulmonary edema and hyperdynamic state.
