The planning and management of PPH varies according to whether PPH occurs during prelabor CD or intrapartum CD. This study examined the rates of blood product utilization, medical and surgical intervention and maternal morbidity after severe PPH in the prelabor CD and intrapartum CD populations. The study was a retrospective analysis of data from cesarean deliveries at a tertiary obstetric center between 2002 and 2012. Rate of blood product utilization was the primary outcome of this study, and the secondary outcomes were medical and surgical interventions and hemorrhage-related maternal morbidity. The study population was divided into two CD cohorts: prelabor CD and intrapartum CD that experienced severe PPH. Patients were identified as suffering from severe PPH if the documented estimated blood loss (EBL) was ≥1500 mL or if a red blood cell (RBC) transfusion was administered during CD or within 48 h after CD. Blood component use, medical and surgical intervention and maternal morbidity were reviewed. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA (statistical software package) version 12 and a P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The study data comprised of 269 prelabor women and 278 intrapartum CD women. For the prelabor cohort, RBC transfusion was used intraoperatively or within 48 h post-CD in 148 (55%) patients. Prelabor CD cases had higher rates of morbidity, including hysterectomy (18%) and the need for ICU admission (16%). For the prelabor CD group with severe PPH, abnormal placentation was contributing in 72% of cesarean hysterectomies and 49% of ICU admissions. In the intrapartum CD cohort, a lower proportion of women received RBCs during the intraoperative period compared to the postoperative period (18.3% vs. 43.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). In this review, methylergonovine was the most commonly used second line uterotonic in both groups. In conclusion, the transfusion rates were relatively high for women with severe PPH during prelabor or intrapartum CD. This data is reflective of current transfusion and surgical practices for management of severe PPH during prelabor and intrapartum CD. Large pragmatic studies are essential for comparing the effects of different PPH interventions on maternal outcomes.","PeriodicalId":22104,"journal":{"name":"Survey of Anesthesiology","volume":"298 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76487406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in a tertiary care hospital in India assessed optimization of pain control through use of IV paracetamol as an adjunct analgesic agent during labor. Two groups (n = 40 each) of parturients (18–35 years old) with spontaneous onset of labor at term (37–42 weeks’ gestation), cervical dilatation of 5 cm, and a single live fetus in cephalic presentation were randomized. They then received either 1000 mg (100 mL) IV paracetamol or 100 mL normal saline 30 minutes before epidural placement. All 80 patients then received 10 mL of epidural levobupivacaine 0.1% with 2 μg/mL fentanyl, followed by continuous epidural infusion of 6 mL/h with a patient-controlled epidural-administered bolus of 5 mL of the same drug with a lockout interval of 12 minutes. It was found that IV paracetamol reduced epidural fentanyl and levobupivacaine use with similar pain scores. Both the hourly mean drug consumption and the mean number of boluses were markedly lower in the paracetamol group. The primary outcomewas mean hourly drug consumption, whichwas significantly lower in the paracetamol group (7.03 [SD, 0.83]mL; range, 5.77–8.75 mL) as compared with the placebo group (8.12 [SD, 1.34]mL; range, 6.00–11.70 mL; P < 0.001). There was also a lower total number of boluses in the paracetamol group (mean, 1.00 [SD, 0.93]; interquartile range, 0–2) than in the placebo group (mean, 1.43 [SD, 0.90]; interquartile range, 1–3; P = 0.036). These findings support the use of paracetamol in labor analgesia. The use of IV paracetamol as an adjunct to a labor analgesia regimen is safe and significantly reduces patient-controlled epiduraladministered local anesthetic/opioid consumption.","PeriodicalId":22104,"journal":{"name":"Survey of Anesthesiology","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78722693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results also confirmed that no difference was observed in the rate of cell proliferation of the hippocampus between isoflurane-treated animals and controls either 2 weeks or 2months after exposure. In conclusion, this study confirms that a short anesthetic exposure can cause increased apoptotic cell death in developing brains, but the rate of neurogenesis was unaffected, indicating that the murine hippocampus can regenerate the lost cells when compared with other regions of the brain that may show permanent neuron loss.
