The anesthetic management of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is challenging and is associated with a high mortality rate. We present a case of a 44-year-old pregnant female known for DCM with low ejection fraction who underwent an elective cesarean section and tubal ligation. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit in a stable condition with a favorable outcome. Awareness about the appropriate anesthetic management for this type of patients is of paramount importance because similar cases are likely to be encountered with the advances in modern medicine.
扩张型心肌病(DCM)的麻醉管理具有挑战性,且死亡率很高。我们报告一例44岁的妊娠女性,已知患有射血分数低的DCM,她接受了择期剖宫产和输卵管结扎术。患者术后病情稳定,被转入重症监护病房,预后良好。了解这类患者的适当麻醉管理至关重要,因为随着现代医学的发展,可能会遇到类似病例。
