    AbstractA 21 year old healthy parturient was diagnosed as having a fetus with micrognathia. She was scheduled for an ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure. General anesthesia consisted of remifentanil, nitrous oxide, and midazolam. Intravenous nitroglycerin was used for uterine relaxation. This technique offered hemodynamic stability and provided uterine relaxation that may be rapidly terminated. For the fetus, it provided excellent transplacental anesthesia. Supplemental direct fetal anesthesia is recommended to prevent the rapid decline of analgesia/anesthesia that occurs after placental separation.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
