    Ergometrine administration during Caesarean section caused impalpable peripheral pulses, suggesting a patient sensitivity. This highlights a potential risk for individuals with Raynaud

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Caesarean sections often require uterotonic agents like ergometrine to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
    • Raynaud's disease is a condition characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in response to cold or stress.

    Observation:

    • Peripheral pulses became impalpable immediately after ergometrine administration.
    • The patient had a pre-existing diagnosis of Raynaud's disease.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited an unusual sensitivity to ergometrine, leading to severe peripheral vasoconstriction.
    • This sensitivity likely exacerbated underlying Raynaud's phenomenon.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should exercise caution when administering ergometrine to patients with Raynaud's disease.

  • Further investigation into ergometrine's vascular effects in patients with vasospastic disorders is warranted.
  • Consider alternative uterotonics in high-risk patients.
