AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on the anesthetic management of women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) during childbirth, noting higher rates of cesarean sections and related complications compared to healthy women.
  • Records from 107 patients with IBD were analyzed, showing similar use of epidural analgesia and instrumental delivery rates between IBD patients and the general population.
  • The findings suggest that anesthetic management for IBD patients during delivery can be approached similarly to that of those without IBD, indicating no significant differences in anesthesia choices or outcomes.

Article Abstract

Objective: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of pathologies associated with an increased rate of abortions, premature deliveries, cesarean sections and other morbidity during the peripartum period. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the anesthetic management for delivery of women with IBD.

Material And Methods: The records of patients with IBD, who delivered at our Center, were obtained for data which included anesthetic and obstetric management as well as neonatal outcome. Five subgroups were defined based on mode of delivery, presence or absence of epidural in normal vaginal delivery (NVD) and urgency of cesarean section, each of which was compared with control groups of healthy parturients in the same period. Additionally, the rate of cesarean sections and the use of epidural analgesia for NVD were compared with the general obstetric population of our center in the same period.

Results: 107 patients with IBD who delivered at our center were studied. The rates of cesarean sections and emergency cesarean sections were significantly higher compared to the general population. However, the rate of instrumental delivery and of epidural analgesia use for NVD were similar. Among those who underwent cesarean sections, no significant differences were found in anesthesia type, surgery duration, number of complications, type of monitoring or postoperative management compared to the control group.

Conclusion: Peripartum anesthetic management of patients with IBD does not differ significantly from that of parturients without it. Anesthesiologists can plan their anesthesia in a similar way as they do in healthy parturients.

Objective: Cesarean sections (CS) are among the most performed surgical procedures in the world. Small variations in surgical techniques could have a significant impact on a global scale, for example, in postoperative complications. In the present study we aimed to observe and audit every single step used during first time CS.

Introduction: Induction of labor is a common procedure, and in Denmark, approximately one in four vaginal deliveries are induced. The association between induction and maternal postpartum infections such as endometritis, surgical site infection after cesarean section, urinary tract infection, and sepsis has been sparsely investigated. Our objective was to investigate the association between induction of labor and risk of maternal postpartum infection and to identify potential risk factors for infection.

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the amount of blood loss during delivery in patients with low-lying placenta is affected by the planned mode of delivery, internal os distance, and warning bleeding. Materials and methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study encompassing women with singleton pregnancies diagnosed with low-lying placenta between January 2012 and December 2021. Data for maternal demographic details and pregnancy outcomes were extracted from the institution's records.

Introduction: The rate of caesarean section (C-section) deliveries has been increasing globally, including in low- and middle-income countries like Ghana. Understanding the trends, patterns, and socio-demographic determinants of C-section deliveries is crucial for improving maternal healthcare services and reducing unnecessary surgical interventions. This study aims to assess the trend and factors associated with CS deliveries in Ghana using secondary data from the District Health Information Management System 2 (DHIMS-2) database.
