Summary

A 36-year-old G3P2 with pregnancy-induced hypertension was admitted to the hospital at 34 weeks’ gestation with a chief complaint of severe abdominal pain and tenderness. On admission she was pale, with cold and clammy skin, heart rate of 140 and blood pressure of 87/46 mm Hg. Diagnosis of suspected placental abruption was confirmed by the ultrasound. The obstetrician on call decided to proceed with an emergent cesarean delivery. What are your anesthetic concerns? What laboratory tests would you like to obtain? What additional preparations would be required? What complications are you anticipating and how do you plan to address them?
