LARYNGEAL EDEMA ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-ECLAMPTIC TOXEMIA ANAESTHESIA BROCKUTNE, J. G., Downing, J. W., SEEDAT, F. 1977; 32 (6): 556-558
Abstract
Pre-eclamptic toxaemia is a common complication of late pregnancy. However, the occurrence of clinically unsuspected laryngeal oedema has not, to the authors' knowledge, been described previously. Experience of such a case leads them to recommend that a selection of tracheal tubes ranging from 8 to 4-5 mm, be available when anaesthesia is undertaken in patients who have oedema associated with pre-eclamptic toxaemia.
