Target controlled infusion of remifentanil for fetal analgesia and immobilization during the ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure for Congenital High Airway Obstruction (CHAOS)

The objective of this case report is to highlight the use of maternal Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Remifentanil to provide immobilization and analgesia to the fetal during Ex utero Intrapartum (EXIT) procedure. A 37 weeks of gestation fetal was diagnosed with Congenital High Airway Obstruct...
