OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: Anesthetic Implications in the Obstetric Patient

Matthew D. McEvoy, MD*, Phillip A. Low, MD{dagger}, and Latha Hebbar, MD*

From the *Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina; and {dagger}Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.

We report the anesthetic management of a parturient with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This syndrome is associated with hemodynamic instability, which can be worsened by the physiology of labor and delivery. We discuss anesthetic concerns with this disease in the parturient and suggest approaches for management of this disease.
