Neuraxial Block in A Post-Hemorrhagic Stroke Pregnant Patient

Abstract

The selection of anesthetic methods for labor and delivery in individuals with elevated intracranial pressure relies on careful consideration of the risks and benefits. While neuraxial analgesia and anesthesia are favored for healthy individuals, they might not be suitable for individuals with intracranial lesions or a heightened risk of bleeding. Neuraxial block in post-stroke patients raises a concerning question about its safety due to the risk of herniation. The risk of perioperative major vascular events and mortality between general anesthesia and regional anesthesia in post-stroke patients is comparable. However, the neuraxial block shows benefits regarding airway manipulation and lower risk of thromboembolism. A successful and safe neuraxial anesthesia in a pregnant patient with a history of hemorrhagic stroke was presented in this case report.
