[Anesthetic management of obstetrical labor in a parturient with muscular carnitine palmitoyl transferase deficiency].

We report a case of a patient with carnitine palmityl deficiency in active labour. We discuss the metabolic and energetic implications of obstetrical labour in regard with the mitochondrial myopathy and we propose an optimal management. Neuroaxial analgesia and glucose infusion are indicated in early labour because it is necessary to alleviate stress and pain in order to avoid rhabdomyolysis associated with CPT deficiency. Combined spinal epidural analgesia using intrathecal opioid alone then epidural naropein should be a relevant choice because of a minimal motor blockage. Monitoring of myolysis using serum creatinine phosphokinase levels must take in account CK and MB fractions releases to the circulation during obstetrical labour.

Gestational age and the management of preterm labor in obstetric programs.

The gestational age at which obstetric training programs aggressively manage and attempt to salvage preterm vertex fetuses in distress was determined by survey. More than half the programs initiate fetal monitoring and perform cesarean section for certain cases of fetal distress by 26 weeks gestational age. By 28 weeks gestational age, most programs consistently perform a cesarean delivery for a vertex fetus in distress. Management practices in university training programs appear to be more aggressive than those in nonuniversity programs. Not all programs--either within or outside the university--try aggressively to salvage fetuses in distress at 28 weeks gestational age or more, however, despite the excellent chance for survival and normal development.
