Abstract
We report the use of remifentanil as part of a general anaesthetic technique for a patient with mixed mitral valve disease, asthma and pre-eclampsia presenting for an emergency Caesarean section. The use of remifentanil was associated with stable haemodynamic variables during general anaesthesia. No clinically significant respiratory depression was noted in the neonate.
