CESAREAN DELIVERY, UNUSUAL ISSUES
Cirrhosis in pregnancy is associated with higher maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Management of decompensated cirrhosis is further complicated by the unique hemostatic alterations of pregnancy superimposed on cirrhosis-related coagulopathy. Anesthetic care in this setting requires careful consideration of airway management, choice of anesthetic technique, and rapid correction of coagulopathy in collaboration with obstetrics and hepatology. We present a case of a patient with underlying cirrhosis with acute decompensation during pregnancy further complicated by placental abruption requiring emergent dilation and evacuation.
