Article Abstract
The rising prevalence of obesity, including among pregnant patients, presents challenges for anesthetic management during cesarean sections. We report the case of a parturient with class III obesity (BMI > 60) undergoing elective cesarean section successfully managed with single-shot spinal anesthesia. This case report supports the feasibility of single-shot spinal anesthesia in parturients with class III obesity and emphasizes the importance of rapid recognition and management of potential complications.
