| Popis: | Needle phobia is an unusual but well-recognised clinical entity. It is claimed that it may affect up to 10% of the general population and may prevent potential patients from seeking medical care, thereby reducing its apparent incidence in the hospital population. Its occurrence in a parturient requiring urgent caesarean section presents special challenges to the anaesthetist. This report discusses the clinical, ethical and medico-legal dilemmas presented by two such cases that were successfully managed by inhalational induction of general anaesthesia using sevoflurane. |
