RESUMO
Resumen ANTECEDENTES: La artrogriposis múltiple congénita es una alteración excepcional, caracterizada por contracturas musculares en diversas partes del cuerpo. Las pacientes embarazadas con esta enfermedad tienen mayor riesgo de complicaciones obstétricas. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 19 años, con artrogriposis múltiple congénita, de ocho semanas de embarazo, quien acudió al servició médico para iniciar el control prenatal. Recibió asesoría de los riesgos cardiovasculares y del sistema respiratorio, secundarios a la enfermedad de base, que pudieran exacerbarse por el embarazo. El ultrasonido efectuado en la semana 22 del embarazo no reportó alteraciones estructurales. La paciente continuó en control prenatal, sin dificultad respiratoria ni alteraciones cardiovasculares. No recibió anticoagulantes profilácticos, ni manifestó signos de trombosis durante el embarazo. Se decidió la interrupción del embarazo por cesárea, debido a la limitación del movimiento de la cadera. Se programó para cirugía en la semana 38.3 del embarazo, con valoración del servicio de Cardiología, quienes reportaron fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo adecuada y sin evidencia de miocardiopatía. Se aplicó anestesia por vía epidural sin complicaciones. El examen físico del neonato no mostró alteraciones. Actualmente, la madre y su hijo permanecen con buen estado de salud. CONCLUSIONES: Las pacientes embarazadas con artrogriposis múltiple congénita deben recibir asesoría de los riesgos inherentes y posibles complicaciones de la enfermedad. Es importante la intervención de un equipo multidisciplinario, para evaluar la función cardiovascular y respiratoria, además de efectuar revisiones seriadas para asegurar el bienestar materno-fetal.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a rare entity characterized by the appearance of multiple muscle contractures in various parts of the body. Pregnant patients with this condition have a higher risk of complications in obstetric management. CLINICAL CASE: A 19-year-old patient, with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, eight weeks pregnant, attended in medical service to start prenatal care. Received advice on the cardiovascular and respiratory system risks, secondary to the underlying disease, that could be exacerbated by pregnancy. The ultrasound during the 22nd week of pregnancy did not report any structural alterations. The patient continued in prenatal control, without respiratory difficulty or cardiovascular alterations. Did not receive prophylactic anticoagulants, neither showed signs of thrombosis. We decide finished the pregnancy by caesarean section, due to the limited movement of the hip. Surgery was scheduled at week 38.3 of pregnancy, with assessment by the Cardiology service, who reported adequate left ventricular ejection fraction and no evidence of cardiomyopathy. Epidural anesthesia was applied without complications. The physical examination of the newborn showed no alterations. Currently, the mother and her son remain in good health. CONCLUSIONS: In pregnant patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita its important to explain the inherent risks of their condition and their possible complications. Multidisciplinary management should be performed with cardiovascular, respiratory, and serial reviews to ensure the welfare of the maternal-fetal binomial.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of epidural anesthesia for painless labor on the birth process and newborn,and to provide a reference for the implementation of painless labor.Methods From January 2013 to January 2015 in our hospital,102 pregnant women were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 51 cases in each group.The observation group used sufentanil combined with ropivacaine for labor analgesia,and the control group received conventional natural childbirth measures for labor.Compared the two groups of maternal analge-sia effect,duration,the rate of vaginal delivery and postpartum 2 hours the amount of bleeding,and compared the two groups of fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia incidence.Results The maternal effect rate and total efficiency in the observation group were 62.75%,96.08%,which were significantly higher than those of the control group (P 0.05).Conclusion Epidural block anesthesia of painless labor can effectively relieve the pain of delivery,reduce maternal labor and the second stage of history,and has good safety of mother to child,it is worth popularization and application.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of epidural anesthesia analgesia on childbearing. METHODS:197 delivery woman were randomly divided into observation group (95 cases) and control group (102 cases). Control group was given natural childbirth,and observation group was additionally given epidural anesthesia analgesia. Neonatal Apgar score (5 min),behavioral neurological score and VAS,mother-infant situation,the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in neonatal Apgar score and behavioral neurological score between 2 groups (P>0.05);VAS score and the rate of cesarean section in observation group was significantly lower than in control group,with statistical significance(P0.05). ADR as itchy skin,nausea and vomiting,headache,limb numbness of observation group were improved after symptomat-ic treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The epidural anesthesia analgesia have no effect on childbearing and can relieve labor pain with good safety.
