[Anesthetic management of caesarean section following the Fontan procedure by using TaskForce Monitor].

Abstract

The Fontan procedure is performed for patients with a corrected transposition of great arteries, and pregnancies following this surgery are likely to increase in number. We present a parturient with the Fontan physiology. In this case, we used thoracic bio-impedance cardiac output monitoring system "TaskForce Monitor". It was shown that the cardiovascular management by using TaskForce Monitor was useful because of the non-invasive beat-to-beat cardiac output monitoring.
