Fetal bradycardia and acidosis during maternal parenteral iron: Case reports and literature review.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- Iron deficiency anemia is a significant concern for pregnant women, leading to the increased use of intravenous (IV) iron infusions, despite debate over the need for fetal monitoring during treatment.
- Two cases were reported where pregnant women experienced fetal bradycardia shortly after receiving iron isomaltoside infusions, along with respiratory issues, which necessitated emergency cesarean sections.
- The research indicates that while fetal bradycardia related to IV iron is rare, it is a potential risk even in healthy pregnancies, suggesting that fetal monitoring during infusions should be reconsidered.
