Neuraxial anesthesia for a parturient with hypogammaglobulinemia: a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypogammaglobulinemia is characterized as a deficiency in humoral immunity. Humoral immunity deficiencies include the absence of B cells and/or serum immunoglobulins. Common clinical features include a predisposition toward infections naturally defended against through antibody-mediated responses. Clinical manifestations of this condition, in the parturient, may contraindicate neuraxial anesthesia. A 30-year-old parturient with hypogammaglobulinemia was admitted for repeated cesarean delivery and a bilateral tubal ligation. The pathophysiology and anesthetic management of the parturient with hypogammaglobulinemia is discussed.

The anticoagulated parturient.
Neuraxial analgesia and anesthesia are routinely administered to the parturient. A devastating, albeit rare, complication of neuraxial anesthesia is spinal or epidural hematoma, and primarily occurs in patients with disorders of hemostasis. A parturient with a clinically active coagulation disorder, or someone with a history of easy bruising and/or bleeding, is considered to have an absolute co...
متن کاملClinical implications of neuraxial anesthesia in the parturient with scoliosis.
Scoliosis can pose challenges to the initiation and function of neuraxial anesthetics. We reviewed the available literature exploring neuraxial techniques in parturients with uncorrected or corrected (i.e., surgically instrumented) scoliosis. The 22 articles reported 117 attempted neuraxial procedures (uncorrected n = 24 and corrected n = 93). Of these procedures, 79% of uncorrected patients an...
متن کاملCombined Spinal-Epidural Analgesia for Laboring Parturient with Arnold-Chiari Type I Malformation: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature
Anesthetic management of laboring parturients with Arnold-Chiari type I malformation poses a difficult challenge for the anesthesiologist. The increase in intracranial pressure during uterine contractions, coughing, valsalva maneuvers, and expulsion of the fetus can be detrimental to the mother during the process of labor and delivery. No concrete evidence has implicated high cerebral spinal fl...
متن کاملGeneral anesthesia with remifentanil for cesarean section in a parturient with severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation
Valvular heart lesions have deleterious effects on hemodynamics in parturients during pregnancy. Cesarean section with an opioid-based general anesthesia is used to alleviate the adverse effects. We described a case of a 28-year-old primigravida at 37 weeks’ gestation with a diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension in active labor. Cesarean s...
متن کاملUtility of thromboelastography during neuraxial blockade in the parturient with thrombocytopenia.
No consensus exists on when it is safe to administer neuraxial blockade in a patient with a low platelet count. It has been suggested that thromboelastography (TEG) may be useful in assessing platelet function in parturients with thrombocytopenia. The purpose of the study was to analyze the incidence of neurologic complications, if any, related to regional anesthesia in parturients with a plate...
