Abstract
- Grand multifetal pregnancies (4 or more), usually caused by ovulation induction agents and assisted reproductive technologies, challenge all members of a perinatal team and put mothers and infants increased risk. Important anesthetic considerations include greater incidence of complications that in the singleton pregnancy, risks related to the large pregnant uterus, impaired uterine contraction prior to delivery secondary to fetal oxygenation, and preparation of sufficient man-power and instruments. The importance of neonatal resuscitation cannot be overemphasized. We report a successful general anesthetic management for an emergent quadruplet cesarean section at 31 weeks 5 days weeks gestational age.
