Management of anemia in a parturient with an arrthymia ablation history for cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia

Abstract

It has been known that preoperative anemia has been a strong predictor for perioperative blood transfusion that may lead to various types of adverse events including longer hospital stay, more ICU admission and morbidity and/or mortality. Hereby, we aimed to present management of an anemic parturient with radiofrequency arrythmiaablation history scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Based on the recent evidences related to preoperative anemia management, we preferred to correct failed oral iron treatment with a single dose of intravenous iron therapy perioperativelyin our parturient with iron deficiency anemia accordingly.

Aritmi ablasyon öyküsü olan gebenin spinal anestezi eşliğinde sezaryenle doğumunda anemi yönetimi

Abstract

Preoperatif dönemde görülen aneminin perioperatif dönemde hastanede kalış süresinin uzaması, yoğun bakım ihtiyacı gibi birçok morbidite ve/veya mortaliteye yol açabilen perioperatif kan transfüzyonu için güçlü bir prediktör olduğu bilinmektedir. Buradaradyofrekans aritmi ablasyon öyküsü olan anemik gebenin spinal anestezi altında elektif sezaryen sırasındaki doğum yönetimini sunmayı hedefledik. Güncel kanıtlara göre, cerrahi öncesinde anemi yönetimine göre, başarısız oral demir tedavisi nedeniyle halen anemik olan gebe olguda spinal anestezi altında sezaryenle doğum sırasında peroperatif tek doz İV demir tedavisi uygulayarak aritmi ablasyon öyküsü olan gebeye yaklaşımımızı sunduk.
