Abstract

SummaryThe ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure allows for the controlled management of a potentially life-threatening difficult airway in the newborn. General anesthesia has previously been reported for the management of this procedure. We report the use of continuous spinal anesthesia in conjunction with intravenous nitroglycerin for the ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure in a woman with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a rare syndrome characterized by rigid joints and limb contractures.
