PURPOSE: This study examines the peripartum anesthetic management and outcomes of @entity1 with @entity384 in a large university medical centre over a seven-year period. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Twenty-five @entity1 were included in this series, 18 with a new diagnosis of @entity296 and seven with a history of @entity296 . Sixteen @entity1 (64%) identified themselves as African American, seven (28%) were Caucasian, and two @entity1 (8%) were Hispanic. The median (range) gestational age at the time of a new diagnosis of @entity296 was 29 (7-38) weeks. Eight @entity1 (32%) had New York Heart Association class III/IV symptoms at the time of delivery or in the immediate postpartum period. A multidisciplinary team of obstetricians, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and pediatricians were involved in the care of these @entity1 . The median (range) gestational age at the time of delivery was 33.5 (30-40) weeks. There were nine vaginal deliveries and 15 operative deliveries. One @entity1 had fetal loss at 19  weeks gestation. Twelve @entity1 had labour induced with an intravenous infusion of @entity398 at a rate of 0.001-0.02  IU  @entity1009 ). An @entity398 infusion at a variable rate with a maximum dose of 0.05  IU  @entity1009 ) was administered after vaginal delivery to maintain uterine tone. Epidural analgesia was initiated prior to induction of labour or in the latent phase of labour. Seven Cesarean deliveries were performed under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, five were performed under epidural anesthesia, and three @entity1 had general anesthesia. @entity398 was administered via an intravenous infusion at a rate of 0.05-0.2  IU  @entity1009 ) after operative delivery. One @entity1 had a @entity1167 on induction of general anesthesia and was successfully resuscitated. There were no maternal or neonatal deaths. Ten @entity1 were followed up at our institution and at six months postpartum; 50% of these @entity1 were still symptomatic. CONCLUSION: We report favourable outcomes in 25 pregnant @entity1 with @entity384 who were managed by a multidisciplinary team.
