| Abstract |
A 24-year-old woman at 29 weeks' gestation, and with psychiatric symptoms, was admitted to hospital and diagnosed as having anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis. After 4 weeks of immunotherapy with little effect, an emergency cesarean section was performed at 33(+4) weeks gestation under general anesthesia. The parturient was intubated after rapid sequence induction with etomidate, remifentanil and succinylcholine. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil. Except for low weight, the infant was normal at birth. The surgery went uneventfully and teratoma or other masses were not found. The parturient was sent to ICU for further treatment without extubation after surgery. She was extubated on the 6th day after surgery and was transferred to the general ward of the neurology department to control her seizures. After the seizures were controlled, she was discharged home on the 80th postoperative day and her neurological symptoms had slowly improved half a year later. This case report presents the anesthetic considerations in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis undergoing cesarean section. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 August 2017.
All research outputs
#18,510,888
of 22,931,367 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Anesthesia
#577
of 816 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#311,315
of 421,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Anesthesia
#12
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,931,367 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 816 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,326 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
