Delivery recommendations
Vaginal delivery
• Vaginal delivery 1st choice in most patients (Class I)
– associated with less change in cardiac output
– associated with less blood loss
– associated with less infection risk
– associated with less risk of venous thrombosis and
thrombo-embolism
ESC Guidelines, EHJ 2011
Delivery recommendations
Caesarean section
Roos-Hesselink et al, EHJ 2012
Delivery recommendations
Caesarean section
• In general, CS is reserved for obstetric indications
!
• CS should be considered (Class IIa):
– dilatation of ascending aorta >45 mm
– severe aortic stenosis
– pre-term labour while on oral anticoagulants
– Eisenmenger syndrome
– Severe heart failure
!
• CS may be considered (Class IIb):
– Marfan syndrome with aortic diameters 40-45 mm
ESC Guidelines, EHJ 2011
Anesthetic management of women with heart disease
The Toronto experience
• 657 pregnancies (602 NYHA I/II, 55 NYHA III/IV) in 1986-2004
– 0.4% of all deliveries
– epidural analgesia: 84% vs 83%
– CS 29% vs 31 %
• 192 cesarian deliveries, 110 (57%) unplanned)
• 82 planned CS deliveries, only 5 for maternal cardiac
indications
Goldszmidt et al, Int J Cardiol 2010
Optimizing vaginal delivery hemodynamics
•

•
•
•
Epidural placed early
No supine positioning
Local anesthetics without epinephrine
Minimize/titrate postpartum Oxytocin administration
Aim: to minimize change of cardiac output <10%
