Ex utero Intrapartum Treatment for the Pericardial Effusion Drain of a Fetal Cardiac Tumor

چکیده
IntroductIon The incidence of fetal cardiac tumor was about 0.14% as determined by fetal echocardiography.[1] It was extremely difficult to deal with the fetus when the severe circulatory instability was induced by a cardiac tumor in the womb. It was reported that ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure solved the problems of fetal airway or pulmonary lesion during delivery to avoid hypoxia after birth.[2] The goal of EXIT is to maintain placental circulation while steps are taken to optimize the transition of the baby from fetal to neonatal life. This study introduced the experience of EXIT procedure to solve the problems of fetal circulation induced by a fetal cardiac tumor.

Ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) of severe fetal hydrothorax.
Ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) of a fetus with severe bilateral hydrothorax is described. EXIT allows therapeutic interventions on the neonate while maintaining fetoplacental circulation. Thus it may be useful for fetuses presenting with severe pleural effusion towards the end of gestation and in whom in utero drainage is technically not possible or available and drainage post partum wou...
متن کاملThe use of remifentanil in ex utero intrapartum treatment procedures
Purpose: We propose that using remifentanil in ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedures reduces the need for maternal exposure to general anesthesia. Using remifentanil along with spinal anesthesia eliminates the fetal and maternal risks associated with inhalational general anesthesia, allows the mother to be awake, and obviates the need for and costs associated with general anesthesia ...

The ex utero intrapartum treatment is a rare surgical procedure performed in cases of expected postpartum fetal airway obstruction. The technique lies on a safe establishment of a patent airway during labor in anticipation of a critical respiratory event, without interrupting maternal-fetal circulation. Anesthetic management is substantially different from that regarding standard cesarean deliv...

Background: The primary manifestation of cardiac tumors in embryonic period is a very rare condition. Cardiac rhabdomyomas most frequently arise in the ventricular myocardium, they may also occur in the atria and the epicardial surface. In spite of its benign nature, the critical location of the tumor inside the heart can lead to lethal arrhythmias and chamber obstruction. Multiple rhabdomyomas...
متن کاملA case of neonatal cardiac tamponade associated with benign hemangioma.
Fetal echocardiography in the 32nd week of gestation showed cardiac tumor and pericardial effusion. The pericardial effusion gradually increased, and cardiac function was impaired by cardiac tamponade. Cardiotocography showed fetal distress. Emergent cesarean section was performed. Cardiac tamponade resulted in respiratory failure after birth. Artificial ventilation and pericardiocentesis were ...
