The principal goal of health systems is to provide safe and quality healthcare
for the patient. Deficiencies in the environment in which obstetric care is provided,
inadequate teamwork and communication, and poor individual performance during
emergencies have been identified as preventable causes of harm to obstetric patients.
There is growing evidence about training in Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC) that
reduces the risk of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. The Institute of
Medicine identifies team-based training and simulation as methods to improve patients’
safety, especially in the obstetrics field, these may add value to it. Recent research
works review the effectiveness of training in EmOC and the use of simulation in
improved health outcomes. It remains unclear whether this translates into improved
patient outcomes.
Hay escaso número de publicaciones disponibles en relación al manejo anestésico de mujeres embarazadas con síndrome de Brugada. Dada la predisposición a arritmias ventriculares y muerte súbita cardiaca asociada, los anestesiólogos debemos conocer qué drogas deben ser evitadas y qué tipo de anestesia puede ser utilizada en estos casos. Se describe el manejo anestésico de una gestante portadora de variante patogénica SCN5A del síndrome de Brugada en el área de partos. Se realiza técnica combinada espinal-epidural con levobupivacaina como rescate por analgesia epidural inadecuada durante el trabajo de parto. Con la descripción de este caso, realizamos una actualización del manejo anestésico de este tipo de pacientes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
