Abstract
Background

Pregnancy in spinal cord injured patients has specific issues that must be carefully addressed. However, guidelines for their management are scarce.

Methods

A systematic review of the literature regarding the anaesthetic management during delivery of pregnant patients with cervical spinal cord injury was performed on the electronic databases of PubMed (Medline) and Cochrane.

Results

Twenty-two papers were included. A higher incidence of preterm birth and caesarean delivery were seen. Anaesthetic management was diverse, although most pregnant patients received epidural analgesia. Autonomic dysreflexia symptoms were present in 51% of pregnancies.

Conclusion

Timely management of these patients could possibly reduce caesarean and preterm delivery rates, avoid or minimize common complications, as well as reduce costs. An early reference to anaesthesiology consultation and a multidisciplinary approach is recommended.

Keywords:
Autonomic dysreflexia
Labour complications
Obstetric analgesia
Tetraplegia
Resumen
Introducción

El embarazo en pacientes con lesión de la médula espinal tiene características específicas. Sin embargo, las guías para orientar su manejo son escasas.

Métodos

Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, sobre el manejo anestésico durante el parto de pacientes embarazadas con lesión de la médula espinal cervical.

Resultados

Se observó una mayor incidencia de parto prematuro y cesárea. El manejo anestésico fue diverso, aunque la mayoría de las pacientes embarazadas recibieron analgesia epidural. Los síntomas de disreflexia autónoma se observaron en el 51% de las mujeres.

Conclusión

El manejo adecuado de estas pacientes podría reducir posiblemente la tasa de cesáreas y partos prematuros, y minimizar las complicaciones comunes, reduciendo al mismo tiempo los costes. Se recomienda una derivación precoz a la consulta de anestesiología y un enfoque multidisciplinario.
