Prospective observational study quantifying maternal-fetal fentanyl transmission in epidural analgesia infusion using umbilical cord blood and neonatal meconium.
Objective: To determine whether fetal exposure to maternal epidural fentanyl can result in a positive meconium drug test.
Study design: Quantitative evaluation of fentanyl levels in cord blood and meconium of infants ≥37 weeks whose mothers received epidural analgesia was performed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry. The association between dose and duration of maternal epidural and fentanyl levels in cord blood and meconium was evaluated.
Results: In 298 mother-infant dyads, median duration of fentanyl epidural was 6.8 hours. There was a strong positive correlation between epidural duration and fentanyl levels in meconium (Spearman rho = 0.70, 95%CI [0.64-0.76]), p < 0.001). Positive predictive value for fentanyl detection in meconium >0.05 ng/g for epidural exposure of >4 hours was 93.9%.
Conclusion: There is a strong positive correlation between maternal epidural duration and fentanyl in meconium. Providers can anticipate a positive meconium drug screen for fentanyl in the setting of a maternal epidural.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
