Obstetric Anesthesia
A woman in labor has an epidural catheter and is being prepared for a cesarean section delivery, when she begins complaining of ringing in her ears. You should be most concerned that what is occurring?
Epileptic seizure; ringing in the ears is a symptom of seizures
High spinal, because the epidural catheter may be intrathecal
Hypotension, because the block is setting up quickly
Early signs of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), because the epidural catheter may be intravascular
Cardiac arrhythmia due to local anesthetic
