    Intrathecal catheter placement after inadvertent dural puncture in the obstetric population: management for labour and operative delivery. Guidelines from the Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association

    Summary: Background: Anaesthetists of all grades who work on a labour ward are likely to be involved in the insertion or management of an intrathecal catheter after inadvertent dural puncture at some point in their careers. Although the use of intrathecal catheters after inadvertent dural puncture in labour has increased in popularity over recent decades, robust evidence on best practice has been lacking. Methods: The Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association set up an expert working party to review the literature. A modified Delphi approach was used to produce statements and recommendations on insertion and management of intrathecal catheters for labour and operative delivery following inadvertent dural puncture during attempted labour epidural insertion. Statements and recommendations were graded according to the US Preventive Services Task Force grading methodology. Results: A total of 296 articles were identified in the initial literature search. Further screening identified 111 full text papers of relevance. A structured narrative review was produced which covered insertion of an intrathecal catheter; initial dosing; maintenance of labour analgesia; topping‐up for operative delivery; safety features; complications; and recommended follow‐up. The working party agreed on 17 statements and 26 recommendations. These were generally assigned a low or moderate level of certainty. The safety of mother and baby were a key priority in producing these guidelines. Conclusions: With careful management, intrathecal catheters can provide excellent labour analgesia and may also be topped‐up to provide anaesthesia for caesarean or operative vaginal delivery. The use of intrathecal catheters, however, also carries the risk of significant drug errors which may result in high‐ or total‐spinal anaesthesia, or even cardiorespiratory arrest. It is vital that all labour wards have clear guidelines on the use of these catheters, and that staff are educated as to their potential complications

    Anesthesia for pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension

    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Purpose of review is to summarize and highlight recent advances in the management of pregnant patients with pulmonary hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS: Despite recent advances in the therapy of pulmonary hypertension, prognosis for pregnant patients with pulmonary hypertension remains poor with high maternal mortality. Pregnancy is still considered contraindicated in these patients. If pregnancy occurs, referral to a tertiary hospital and a multidisciplinary approach ensure the best possible outcome. All pregnant patients with pulmonary hypertension should be counseled for a termination of pregnancy. If the patient wants to continue the pregnancy despite strong recommendations for therapeutic interruption, specific pulmonary hypertension therapy has to be initiated, adjusted, and/or augmented. A close clinical follow-up of the mother throughout the entire pregnancy is of utmost importance. Elective caesarean section in week 34-36 is recommended as preferred mode of delivery, preferentially under epidural or low-dose combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Because of an acute increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and delivery-associated acute volume overload, the immediate postpartum period carries the highest risk for acute right ventricular failure necessitating close monitoring and treatment on an ICU. SUMMARY: Anesthesiologists involved in the management of pregnant patients with pulmonary hypertension must have detailed knowledge of pathophysiological alterations in pregnancy and during birth, cardiac (patho)physiology, cardiovascular and obstetric pharmacology, hemodynamic monitoring, and echocardiography. Both regional and general anesthesia have typical adverse effects that can severely jeopardize the cardiovascular system in patients with pulmonary hypertension, and should therefore be anticipated/prevented/rapidly treated by the attending anesthesiologist.status: publishe
