Abstract

Background: Cardiomyopathy in pregnancy is a rare but serious condition that can lead to significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Anesthetic management of these patients is challenging due to the complex interplay of physiological changes and the potential for hemodynamic instability. This case report describes the successful anesthetic management of a cesarean section in a patient with cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock. Case presentation: A 29-year-old woman with cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock presented for emergency cesarean section at 36-37 weeks gestation. She had a history of global hypokinetic, left ventricular and atrial dilatation, and an ejection fraction (EF) of 32%. She was also in atrial fibrillation. Epidural anesthesia was selected due to its lower risk of complications compared to general anesthesia. The patient was carefully monitored throughout the procedure, and her hemodynamics were maintained with a combination of fluids and inotropes. The surgery was successful, and the patient delivered a healthy baby boy. Conclusion: This case report demonstrates that successful anesthetic management of cesarean section is possible in patients with cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock. Careful planning, close monitoring, and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for a positive outcome.

Abstract

Background: Maintaining effective labor epidural analgesia while optimizing maternal satisfaction and minimizing drug consumption remains a key objective in obstetric anesthesia. Programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) techniques have emerged as an alternative to traditional continuous epidural infusion (CEI) combined with patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA). This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy, local anesthetic (LA) consumption, and maternal satisfaction between PIEB regimens (typically combined with PCEA for rescue) and PCEA regimens supplemented with a continuous basal infusion (PCEA+Basal). Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted for PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 2013 and December 2024 comparing PIEB (+/- PCEA) with PCEA+Basal for labor analgesia. Primary outcomes were hourly LA consumption, maternal satisfaction (rated as high/excellent), and need for clinician rescue analgesia (breakthrough pain). Secondary outcomes included pain scores (Visual Analog Scale - VAS), mode of delivery, duration of labor stages, motor blockade incidence, and neonatal outcomes (Apgar scores). Data were extracted from suitable studies identified through the search. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis using RevMan software. Mean Differences (MD) or Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were calculated. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Results: Five studies involving a total of 1158 parturients met the inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis indicated that PIEB regimens were associated with a trend towards lower hourly LA consumption compared to PCEA+Basal (MD: -1.2 mL/hour; 95% CI: -2.5 to 0.1; P=0.07; I²=78%), although heterogeneity was high. Maternal satisfaction rated as 'high' or 'excellent' was significantly more frequent in the PIEB group (OR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.20 to 2.85; P=0.005; I²=35%). The need for clinician rescue analgesia was numerically lower with PIEB, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.45 to 1.10; P=0.12; I²=45%). No significant differences were noted in VAS pain scores during established labor, mode of delivery, or Apgar scores. Incidence of motor block appeared potentially lower with PIEB regimens. Conclusion: Based on this meta-analysis, PIEB regimens appear promising for labor analgesia, potentially offering comparable efficacy to PCEA+Basal while possibly reducing local anesthetic consumption and enhancing maternal satisfaction. However, significant heterogeneity was observed for some outcomes. High-quality, large-scale RCTs directly comparing optimized PIEB+PCEA protocols with PCEA+Basal infusion are crucial to definitively establish the relative benefits and risks of these techniques.

Abstract

Background: Effective hemodynamic management in sepsis is critical, yet current practices are constrained by the risks and interpretive challenges of invasive central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring. The clinical utility of CVP is debated, fueling the search for safer alternatives. This study investigates a novel approach, exploring intraocular pressure (IOP) as a non-invasive surrogate for CVP, predicated on the direct anatomical link between the ocular venous drainage system and the central circulation. Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center observational study in a tertiary intensive care unit, enrolling 20 adult patients with sepsis and indwelling central venous catheters. High-fidelity measurements of CVP via a pressure transducer and IOP via Perkins applanation tonometry were performed simultaneously. Data were collected at a baseline steady-state and again 15 minutes after a standardized fluid challenge (median volume 300 mL) to assess the dynamic relationship. The association was quantified using Pearson correlation and modeled with simple linear regression. Results: A strong, statistically significant positive correlation was observed between CVP and IOP at baseline (r=0.756, p=0.001). This physiological coherence was profoundly amplified following the fluid challenge, strengthening to a very strong correlation (r=0.947, p<0.001). The post-challenge data yielded a robust, preliminary predictive model, defined by the equation: CVP (mmHg) = -0.619 + (0.522 x IOP (mmHg)). The slope of this relationship was precisely estimated (95% CI: 0.435 to 0.609). The model demonstrated high predictive power, with post-challenge IOP accounting for 89% of the variance in CVP (R²=0.89). Conclusion: This pilot investigation provides compelling evidence for a strong and dynamic correlation between IOP and CVP in critically ill patients with sepsis. The findings suggest that ocular tonometry shows significant promise as a non-invasive method for assessing right-sided filling pressures and, more importantly, for tracking the dynamic response to fluid therapy, thereby offering a potential window into venous congestion. While intriguing, these results are from a small cohort. The derived formula is strictly hypothesis-generating and requires extensive validation in larger, more diverse clinical trials before any potential for clinical application can be considered.

Abstract

Background: The perioperative management of neonates with esophageal atresia and Type C tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is exceptionally challenging, particularly in cases of delayed diagnosis complicated by aspiration pneumonia and congenital heart disease. The primary anesthetic risk is catastrophic gastric insufflation and hemodynamic collapse from positive pressure ventilation (PPV) before fistula control. This report details a successful multidisciplinary strategy centered on an airway technique that preserves spontaneous ventilation. Case presentation: A 16-day-old, 2.5 kg female neonate with Type C EA/TEF presented for surgical repair following a delayed referral. The case was critically complicated by severe aspiration pneumonia (cultures positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae), which was managed with targeted antibiotic therapy, and hemodynamically significant congenital heart defects (2.5 mm patent ductus arteriosus, 3 mm patent foramen ovale). After 48 hours of intensive cardiorespiratory and nutritional optimization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the patient underwent surgery. To circumvent the life-threatening risks of PPV, an inhalational induction with sevoflurane was performed, maintaining spontaneous ventilation. The airway was secured via direct laryngoscopy without neuromuscular blockade. A right extrapleural thoracotomy, fistula ligation, and primary esophageal anastomosis were successfully performed. Intraoperative lung retraction-induced desaturation was managed with coordinated surgeon-anesthetist maneuvers. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: In a high-risk neonate with delayed TEF presentation and profound cardiorespiratory compromise, securing the airway while maintaining spontaneous ventilation is a cornerstone of safe anesthetic practice. This approach, integrated within a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management plan, directly mitigates the risk of gastric perforation and cardiovascular collapse, thereby enabling a successful surgical repair and favorable outcome.
