We report the anaesthetic management of two achondroplastic patients who presented for emergency cesarean section. Regional anaesthesia could not be done in both cases as a result of technical difficulties and general anaesthesia was performed. Airway management was done with two different techniques following airway assessment. The perioperative periods were uneventful. We discuss the anaesthetic implications and problems associated with regional and general anaesthesia in achondroplastic parturients. The controversies in the anesthetic management of these patients are also highlighted.
我们报告了两名因急诊剖宫产而就诊的软骨发育不全患者的麻醉管理情况。由于技术困难，这两例均无法实施区域麻醉，因此进行了全身麻醉。气道评估后采用两种不同技术进行气道管理。围手术期均顺利。我们讨论了软骨发育不全产妇区域麻醉和全身麻醉的麻醉影响及相关问题。还强调了这些患者麻醉管理中的争议。
