Effect of atracurium or pancuronium on the anemic fetus during and directly after intravascular intrauterine transfusion. A double blind randomized study.
To determine the effect of atracurium or pancuronium on onset and duration of fetal paralysis, movements and heart rate parameters directly after transfusion, using computer analyzed fetal heart rate recording (c-FHR).. Double blind randomized study of 23 RhD alloimmunized pregnant women requiring an intravascular intrauterine fetal blood transfusion (IUT) between 24 and 36 weeks. Atracurium was injected in 11 fetuses at 17 IUT's and pancuronium in 12 fetuses at 19 IUT's. For statistical analysis the Mann-Whitney test was used.. No statistical differences were found in fetal heart rate and movements between both groups before transfusion. The fetal movements returned more rapidly in the atracurium group when compared to the pancuronium-group (median 24 vs. 57 min, range 6-55 vs. 4-220; (p<0.02). Fetal movements did not hamper the procedure in any case. The atracurium group showed significantly more fetal movements (p<0.01), more accelerations (0<0.05) but no significant reduction of fetal heart rate variability directly after transfusion which was in direct contrast to the pancuronium group.. Neuromuscular blockade with atracurium produces sufficient paralysis for intrauterine transfusion with minimal disturbance of the parameters used to monitor fetal wellbeing after the procedure. Although the routine use of fetal paralysis during IUT may be questionable, we believe that when it is necessary the use of atracurium is the better choice.

Tolerance to acute isovolemic hemodilution. Effect of anesthetic depth.
Acceptance of a lower transfusion trigger in the perioperative period requires study of the effects of anesthetic depth on the tolerance to acute isovolemic anemia. Anesthetic agents with negative effects on the cardiovascular system may exert proportionately greater depressant effects on cardiac output response than on tissue oxygen demand, reducing tolerance to acute isovolemic anemia.. In the first study, animals were anesthetized with halothane (n = 14; 23.8 +/- 4.8 kg, mean +/- SD). In a second study, animals were anesthetized with ketamine (n = 14; 24.3 +/- 4.7 kg). In each study, dogs were randomly allocated to receive either low or high concentrations of anesthetic. Oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption were determined from independent measurements during a stepwise isovolemic hemodilution protocol. In each dog, critical oxygen delivery was determined from a plot of oxygen consumption versus oxygen delivery using a least-sum-of-squares technique. Critical hemoglobin (hemoglobin) was determined from a plot of hemoglobin versus oxygen consumption using the same method.. With both agents, the higher anesthetic concentration was associated with decreased oxygen consumption, resulting in a lower critical oxygen delivery. However, critical hemoglobin was significantly higher in the animals receiving the higher anesthetic dosage (1.5 vs. 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration of halothane: 4.1 +/- 1.3 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.5 g/dl, P < 0.05; high- vs. low-dose ketamine: 3.7 +/- 1.4 vs. 2.5 +/- 0.6 g/dl, P < 0.05). This was related to a marked blunting of the cardiac output response to hemodilution in the animals receiving the higher anesthetic dosage.. Increased anesthetic depth with halothane or ketamine resulted in a decreased tolerance to acute anemia, as reflected by a significant increase in critical hemoglobin concentration.
