Download or read book Consults in Obstetric Anesthesiology written by Suzanne K. W. Mankowitz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text addresses the need for a book specifically aimed at obstetric anesthesia and covers topics such as pulmonary, cardiac renal, hepatic, hematologic, neurologic, endocrine and other diseases. The real anesthetic challenge arises when patients present to Labor and Delivery with unusual or complicated medical problems and, in recent years, a few of the larger institutions have developed an Obstetric Anesthesiology Consultation Service to prepare for the management of these patients. While most pregnant women who present to Labor and Delivery require anesthetic intervention, they typically meet the anesthesiologist for the first time in labor. Since the majority of laboring women are healthy without significant comorbidities, this does not present much of a challenge to the anesthesiologist and the anesthetic management tends to be straight-forward with favorable outcomes. However, using this new model, the anesthesiologist has the opportunity to discuss the various treatment modalities and potentially suggest diagnostic testing to be performed prior to delivery, similar to the pre-operative testing that is done in other surgical environments.

Download or read book Inherited thrombophilia written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inherited thrombophilia increases the likelihood of venous thrombosis. The highest risk is associated with severe inherited thrombophilia which, if diagnosed, will often affect the duration of treatment in patients with venous thrombosis. High-risk thrombophilia is associated with antithrombin deficiency homozygosity for FV Leiden or prothrombin G20210A mutation simultaneous heterozygosity for several gene defects (double heterozygosity) protein C, and possibly protein S, deficiency. Solitary heterozygous FV Leiden or prothrombin mutation will increase the thrombotic risk only slightly. The association between inherited thrombophilia and arterial occlusion is less clearly demonstrated. In practice, arterial obstruction should only raise a suspicion of inherited thrombophilia if encountered in a young person with no known risk factors. Predisposition to thrombotic events may also be caused by acquired disturbances in the coagulation system, the most important of which is the presence of circulating phospholipid antibodies.

Download or read book Embolic Disease written by Stanislaw P. Stawicki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of medical practice, the word “embolism” has many implications to many people, with most providers instinctively placing this word within an inherently negative context. Derived from the Greek word, ἐμβολισμός, this term most literally means “interposition.” Yet, regardless of how benign this etymological derivation may appear, the clinical context is quite the opposite—a symbol of much dreaded morbidity and mortality. Whether the embolus consists of a blood clot, a fat globule, a bubble of gas, amniotic fluid, or even an iatrogenic or traumatic foreign body, the unfavorable connotations persist even if the patient has few or no associated symptoms and requires no intervention.The primary goal of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of the most common types of embolic phenomena encountered in clinical practice, including some of the key related diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Among chapters featured in the current collection are important contributions in the areas of pulmonary embolism, fat embolism, embolic complications of non-malignant cardiac tumors, acute arterial embolism of the lower extremity, thrombophilia in pregnancy, bullet and shrapnel embolization, coronary artery embolization, as well as a comprehensive review of venous interventions utilized in the management of thromboembolic disorders. When measured in terms of both human and financial costs, broadly defined “embolic phenomena” have tremendous impact on healthcare systems and societies around the globe. Through this academic effort of both our editorial team and individual chapter authors, we hope to provide the reader with valuable insight into the gravity of the collective problem. Among key takeaway messages of this book is that diagnostic relativity and uncertainty continue to prevail in the realm of “embolic diseases.” Consequently, much more progress is required before we are able to declare success.
Download or read book 17 INHERITED THROMBOPHILIA IN PREGNANT PATIENTS A RETROSPECTIVE CLINICAL STUDY written by Octavian Munteanu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundThrombophilia refers to an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis. Abnormalities of any component of Virchowu2019s triad (circulatory stasis, vascular wall injury or hypercoagulable state) can lead to thrombosis. Most heritable thrombophilias are heterozygous defects. Hereditary thrombophilia arise as a result of over-activity of coagulation factors. The aim of this study was to perform a screening of pregnant women hospitalized in our hospital for hereditary thrombophilia. Material and methodsOur study group included 819 pregnant women. Genetic tests for specific mutations included methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation, factor V Leiden mutation, prothrombin 20210 and factor XIII mutation. Results The incidence of high-risk inherited thrombophilias is low in our study, so the frequency of homozygous factor V Leiden mutation (n=2) is equal with the incidence of homozygous prothrombin G20210A (n=2) mutation- 0.24%. The incidence of heterozygous factor V Leiden was 17,09 % (n=140) , heterozygous prothrombin G20210A mutation was 3.29% (n=27) , homozygosity for the C677T polymorphism of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutations was 5% (n=41) , homozygosity for the A1298C polymorphism is present in 3.17% (n=26) of pregnant women included in our study. Also heterozygous methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutations (C677T, A1298C) were present at 48.35%.ConclusionsHereditary thrombophilia is a genetic condition of heterogeneous etiology, determined by genetic mutations that have been found in all factors of coagulation. There is no curative treatment for genetic thrombophilia.Pregnant women that presented risk factors for thrombosis and were diagnosed with high risk hereditary thrombophilia received prophylactic anticoagulant treatment.

Download or read book Thrombophilia written by Andrea Tranquilli and published by IntechOpen. This book was released on 2011-11-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrombophilia(s) is a condition of increased tendency to form blood clots. This condition may be inherited or acquired, and this is why the term is often used in plural. People who have thrombophilia are at greater risk of having thromboembolic complications, such as deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or cardiovascular complications, like stroke or myocardial infarction, nevertheless those complications are rare and it is possible that those individuals will never encounter clotting problems in their whole life. The enhanced blood coagulability is exacerbated under conditions of prolonged immobility, surgical interventions and most of all during pregnancy and puerperium, and the use of estrogen contraception. This is the reason why many obstetricians-gynecologysts became involved in this field aside the hematologists: women are more frequently at risk. The availability of new lab tests for hereditary thrombophilia(s) has opened a new era with reflections on epidemiology, primary healthcare, prevention and prophylaxis, so that thrombophilia is one of the hottest topics in contemporary medicine.

Download or read book Perinatology written by Renato Augusto Moreira de Sá and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 1295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest evidence-based guidelines for perinatal management and is designed to help obstetricians and neonatologists minimize complications and offer patients the best possible care. Since 1960, there has been a significant increase in basic and clinical investigations on normal and pathological pregnancy in the developed world. This has provided insights into the physiopathology of pregnant women, fetuses and newborns and led to the development of new technologies, bringing about a new medical subspecialty: perinatal medicine. The book is divided into eight main sections: The first examines basic periconceptional care and discusses the ethical aspects of perinatology. The next section focuses on prenatal considerations, such as the nutritional aspects of gestation and puerperium, physical exercise during pregnancy, routine laboratory tests, prenatal care of multiple gestations and the role of the neonatologist in prenatal care. The third and fourth sections then explore fetal evaluation, and clinical intercurrences in pregnancy, respectively. The next section addresses pregnancy complications: prevention, diagnosis and management. The sixth section covers the basic aspects of congenital infections and the seventh examines labor and delivery aspects. Lastly, the final section includes chapters on neonatal assistance. Written by leading experts in obstetrics, neonatology, and perinatology, this thoroughly updated, comprehensive resource reflects the latest information in all areas, including genetics and imaging.
