Local anesthetic toxicity and lipid resuscitation in pregnancy

Abstract: As the obstetric demographic becomes older and more obese, new technologies and strategies can assist in controlling maternal death and major morbidity secondary to anesthesia complications. Lipid resuscitation appears to be an effective treatment for toxicity induced by lipophilic medications and may be useful in treating systemic toxicity in the pregnant patient. Obstetric care providers should be aware of lipid resuscitation and consider its use as described by American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pa… Show more

“…This is particularly pertinent in the obstetric population as physiological changes of pregnancy may increase the risk of LAST in parturients. 271 Several measures may help mitigate the risk of LAST and should be used whenever possible. Epinephrine will reduce peak local anesthetic plasma concentration 121,136 and should always be added to the injectate solution.…”

“…Still, much remains to be investigate about the use of lipid emulsions, but judging by the lack of adverse effects to date 21 , expectations are encouraging and even recommended for accidents in case of obstetric anesthesia 22 .…”

“…The report also highlights the potential value of a modified early obstetric warning score. In a more recent publication, using a large British ICU data set, Carle et al 28 described the evaluation of several preexisting obstetric early warning scores and the development and validation of a new obstetric score and demonstrated excellent discrimination between survivors and nonsurvivors for this new score (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, 0.995). These scores can be used to monitor patients by clinical use of an early warning score chart ( Figure 1) and can accurately identify patients at high risk of mortality, although not specifically mortality resulting from cardiac arrest.…”
