She was hospitalised several times during the second and third trimester for serious recurrent epistaxis, leading to severe anaemia. In total, she required the transfusion of 20 units of packed red blood cells during her pregnancy as well as surgical nasal haemostasis under general anaesthesia (GA). The patient was referred to our tertiary centre for delivery. In the context of recurrent severe epistaxis and high cardiac output (due to hepatic AVM) in the third trimester, a multidisciplinary decision was made to plan an elective caesarean section at 35 4\/7 weeks combined with nasal packing under GA. This report discusses the implications of HHT, the multidisciplinary planning of the caesarean section, intraoperative anaesthetic management and patient follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2023-255530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T13:46:07Z","timestamp":1696340767000},"page":"e255530","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Anaesthetic
