Abstract
We report the anaesthetic management of an abdominal pregnancy. The deliver y was obtained by laparotomy, under general anaesthesia, by a multi-special ist team. Abdominal pregnancy carries a high foetal and maternal risk for m orbidity and lethal outcome. The main complication is sudden haemorrhage wh ich can occur at any time. (C) 1999 Elsevier, Paris.
