Role of nitroglycerine as tocolytic agent during double valve replacement surgery in pregnant patient with successful fetal outcome
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is an important non-obstetric cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. Cardiac surgery during pregnancy is usually well tolerated by mother but the fetal outcome is variable. Here we have described the use of nitroglycerine as a tocolytic in a patient who underwent double valve replacement in the second trimester of pregnancy with successful fetal outcome.
