    The Challenges of Single-Shot Spinal Anaesthesia for Cesearean Section in a Morbidly obese Patient: A Case Report
    (Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria (SOGON)., 2005) Danladi, K. Y.; Sotunmbi, P .T.; Awolude, O. A.; Obisesan, K. A.
    An unusual case of morbid obesity, severe hypertension and twin gestation at 36weeks in an unbooked multigravid patient was presented for cesarean section. She was referred from a private clinic to the obstetric emergency unit of the University College Hospital, Ibadan with history of hypertension in pregnancy. She was a known hypertensive for ten years and her blood pressure was poorly controlled due to non-compliance with medications and medical check-up. She had been having progressive visual loss over the ten year period and had lost three previous pregnancies. Following comprehensive clinical and radiological evaluation, she had a carefully planed single-shot spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery of a set of twin which was performed on a double operation table. She remained stable throughout the procedure and post operative period.

Review of health risks of obesity is useful in order to increase the pool of available information in Nigeria and to draw attention to obesity and its attendant health risks.
