Pregnancy induced hypertension includes gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, and chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder caused by abnormal placentation leading to placental hypoxia and endothelial damage. Management involves maternal and fetal monitoring, antihypertensive treatment for severe hypertension, magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis, and delivery once the fetus is mature. Anesthetic management is crucial and involves careful consideration of neuraxial versus general anesthesia depending on the severity of the preeclampsia and other maternal factors.

Neuromuscular monitoring, also known as train of four monitoring, is a technique used during recovery from the application of general anesthesia to objectively determine how well a patient's muscles are able to function. It involves the application of electrical stimulation to nerves and recording of muscle response using, for example, an acceleromyograph. Neuromuscular monitoring is typically used when neuromuscular-blocking drugs have been part of the general anesthesia and the doctor wishes to avoid postoperative residual curarization (PORC) in the patient, that is, the residual paralysis of muscles stemming from these drugs.
In critical care medicine the invasive life saving techniques are often employed and when all goes well such interventions will be withdrawn to all for normal physiology to resume. Identifying this point for safe withdrawal for the resumption of normal respiratory function is of utmost importance.

Summary:
- Preeclampsia is a syndrome of unknown etiology with multiorgan involvement
- It presents with a wide spectrum of symptoms
- It is sometimes difficult to distinguish from other systemic diseases
- Severe cases may progress to MOF and death
- Delivery of the child and placenta is the only specific treatment – other lines of teatment are only supportive
There are several issues regarding diagnostic techniques and treatment options that need further evaluation

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

thousand hospital deliveries.
4. Classification
• Gestational Hypertension
• Preeclampsia
– Preeclampsia without severe features
– Severe
• Chronic Hypertension
• Chronic Hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia.
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Task force on Hypertension in
Pregnancy. Hypertension in pregnancy. ACOG. Washington, DC, 2013.
5. Definitions

gestation.
• Chronic hypertension : Systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or Diastolic BP
≥ 90 mmHg or Elevated BP that fails to resolve after delivery.
• Chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia: Preeclampsia
develops in woman with chronic HTN before pregnancy. Diagnosed by
new onset of proteinuria or a sudden increase in proteinuria or HTN or
both
• HELLP Syndrome : Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet
count in woman with preeclampsia.

8. Pathogenesis
› Preeclampsia as two-stage
disorder
– Asymptomatic 1st stage –
in early pregnancy with
impaired remodeling of
spiral arteries
– Symptomatic 2nd stage –
characterized by release of
antiangiogenic factors from
intervillous space to
maternal circulation
9. Pathogenesis contd..
› Normal Pregnancy
› Embryo-derived cytotrophoblasts
invades decidual and myometrial
segments of spiral arteries.
› Remodeling of vascular smooth
muscle and inner elastic lamina.
› Luminal diameter of spiral
arteries ↑ , creating low-
resistance vascular pathway to
intervillous space.
› Ensure adequate blood flow to
nourish growing fetus and
placenta
10. Pathogenesis contd..
Cytotrophoblast invasion is
incomplete and only decidual
segment undergo change
Results in abnormal superficial
placentation.
↓ placental perfusion and placental
infarcts, predisposing to IUGR.
Symptomatic 2nd stage
Widespread maternal endothelial
dysfunction and systemic
inflammatory response.
13. Clinical features
Uteroplacental Perfusion
Activity increased
Hyperactive/hypersensitive to oxytocin
Preterm labor – frequent
Uterine/placental blood flow – decreased by
50-70%
Abruption – incidence increased
IUGR
14. Management Of Preeclampsia
› Obstetrics management
1. Maternal and fetal surveillance
2. Treatment of acute hypertension
3. Seizure prophylaxis
4. Decisions regarding route and time of delivery
15. Maternal And fetal surveillance
› Indicated in all the preeclamptic patients.
› Goal: early detection of severe disease in
preeclampsia without severe features and in
case of severe preeclampsia - to detect
worsening of organ dysfunction.
› Evaluate for Sign and symptoms indicating
end-organ involvement,
16. Maternal and fetal contd..
1. Daily fetal movement counts with NST or biophysical profile testing at
time of diagnosis and at regular intervals thereafter.
2. USG: fetal weight and AF volume.
3. Doppler USG: measure fetal blood flow velocimetry when IUGR is
suspected.
17. Treatment of Acute Hypertension
› Antihypertensive used to treat severe HTN (SBP≥160 mmHg or DBP
≥110mmHg)
› Goal of therapy :Prevent adverse maternal sequences like hypertensive
encephalopathy, Cerebro vascular hemorrhage, Myocardial infarction ,
and CCF.
› Aim : lower MAP by 15- 25%, with target SBP between 120- 160 mm
Hg and DBP between 80-105 mm Hg.
18. ACOG 2011 Recommends Labetalol or Hydralazine as 1st line treatment for acute
onset, severe HTN in pregnancy or postpartum patients
19. Seizure prophylaxis
› Routinely used for seizure prophylaxis
› Magnesium sulphate: Loading dose of 4 to 6 g over 20- 30 mins followed
by maintenance of 1 to 2 g/h.
› Infusion initiated once decision is made to deliver and continued for 24
hours postpartum.
› Some recommend MgSO4 at least 2 hrs before cesarean, during surgery,
and for 12 hours postpartum.
20. Seizure prophylaxis contd..
› Mechanism of direct anticonvulsant not well understood
› It may protect Blood brain barrier
› Decrease cerebral edema
› Act centrally at n-methyl –D- aspartate (NMDA) receptors to raise
seizure threshold
21. Route of Delivery
› Vaginal delivery should be attempted PE without severe features or in
severe disease beyond 34 wks.
› Cesarean delivery: when maternal or fetal condition mandates immediate
delivery
› Corticosteroid therapy:
› For Severe PE or HELLP syndrome
› To accelerate fetal lung maturity
› Between 24-34 weeks
24. Neuraxial Analgesia For Labor and Delivery
Lumbar Epidural/ CSE
› Avoid GA and possibility of airway catastrophe and stress response with
airway manipulation
› Improvement in intervillious blood flow
› Provision of high quality analgesia
› Reduction of catecholamines and stress related hormones
› Extended analgesia if emergency cesarean required
› Excellent post op analgesia.
25. Special considerations
› Assessment of coagulation status.
› IV hydration before the epidural administration of LA.
› Treatment of hypotension.
› Avoid use of epinephrine-containing LA solutions.
26. Guidelines for Central Neuraxial Block
› Neuraxial block may be initiated if platelet count >80,000/mm3.
› Platelet count between 50,000 and 80,000/mm3, weigh risks and benefits
of CNB with GA.
› <50000 – avoid neuraxial blockade
› Platelet count 80000-100000 –early epidural catheter insertion
recommended in anticipation of worsening thrombocytopenia
› Plt count of 75000-80000/mm3 –reasonable for epidural catheter
removal.
Chestnut’s Obstetrics Anesthesia Principles And Practice-5th Edition, page number 844-845
27. Anesthesia for Caesarean Delivery
› Special concerns
1. Choice of anesthetic technique
2. Technique for induction of GA
3. Interaction between MgSO4 and NDMR
28. Anesthesia for Cesarean delivery
General anesthesia:
Indications
› Coagulopathy
› Sustained fetal bradycardia with reassuring maternal airway
› Severe ongoing maternal hemorrhage
› Contraindications to neuraxial technique
29. Anesthesia for cesarean delivery
› Three specific challenges of GA
• Potential difficult of securing airway
• Hypertensive response to laryngoscopy
• Effects of MgSO4 in on Neuromuscular transmission and
uterine tone
30.
31. Anesthetic concern with MgSO4
› Potentiation and prolongation of action of both depolarizing, non-
depolarizing muscle relaxants.
› At higher doses Mg2+ rapidly crosses the placental barrier, has been
found to significantly ↓ FHR variability.
› Should be given cautiously with Ca2+ as may antagonize the
anticonvulsant effect of MgSO4 .
› Also be cautious in patients with renal impairment.
› May ↑ the possibility of hypotension during regional block .
32. Postoperative Management
› Post op analgesia:
IV opioids, neuraxial opioids, epidural analgesia
Concern : Respiratory depression
NSAIDS: avoid
› Post partum management:
Risk of
Pulmonary Edema Sustained hypertension
Stroke Venous thromboembolism
Airway obstruction Seizures
HELLP PPH
Eclampsia
34. HELLP Syndrome
› Occurs in 70% antepartum cases
and 30% postpartum
› Signs and Symptoms
• Right upper quadrant or
epigastric pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Headache
• Hypertension
• Proteinuria
35. Management of HELLP Syndrome
› Assess and Stabilize mother (1st priority)
Antihypertensive
Anti seizure prophylaxis
Correct coagulation abnormalities.
› Assess fetal condition- FHR, Doppler USG, biophysical profile
› Ultimate Management
– >34 wks gestation deliver
– <34wks expectant Management if stable maternal and fetal
conditions
› Platelet transfusion if:
<40,000/mm3 before cesarean delivery
36. Eclampsia
› New onset of seizures or unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum
period in woman with s/s of PE and without a preexisting neurologic
disorder.
› Can occur any point in puerperium
› 0.1 to 5.9/ 10,000 pregnancies in developed countries.
› Most seizures occur intrapartum or within 1st 48 hours after delivery.
› Late eclampsia :Seizure onset from 48 hours after delivery to 4 weeks
postpartum.
37. Risk Factors
• Maternal age < 20 yrs
• Nulliparity
• Multigravida
• Molar pregnancy
• Triploidy
• Pre-existing HTN, Renal /CVS disease
• Previous severe PE or Eclampsia
• Nonimmune hydrops fetalis
• SLE
38. Pathogenesis
› Poorly understood
Involve a loss of normal cerebral autoregulatory
mechanism
Hyperperfusion and leading to interstitial and
vasogenic edema and decreased cerebral blood flow
42. MgSO4 Therapy
› Zuspan regimen: 4-6g iv over 15 min f/b infusion of 1-2g/h
› Pritchard regimen: 4g i.v over 3-5min f/b 5g in each buttock
with maintenance of 5g im in alternate buttock 4hrly
› MOA:Competitive inhibition of calcium ions at motor end
plate or cell membrane, ↓ Ach release & sensitivity
› C/I:Patients with MG and impaired renal function, heart
block, digitalis
› S/E:Maternal : flushing
› Perspiration, headache, muscle weakness, pulmonary edema
› Neonatal: lethargy, hypotonia, respiratory depression
44. Anesthetic Management
› Maintenance of Fluids : 75-100 ml/hr.
› Assessment of seizure control and neurologic function.
› BP control : If BP ≥160/110 mmHg.
› Monitoring :ASA stand., FHR, UO, NM and Mg monitoring
› CBC, RFT, LFTs, Coagulation profile, 24 hrs specimen for protein
› Choice of anesthesia: GA with STP or Propofol
› Avoid hypo/hyperventilation, hyperglycemia, hypoxia,
hyperthermia
45. Choices of anesthesia in Eclampsia
Central Neuraxial
• Seizures controlled
• No coagulopathy
• Co-operative pt
General Anesthesia
• Uncontrolled seizures
• Coagulopathy
• Reassuring airway
• Uncooperative patients

PE occurs most frequently in nulliparous women and most commonly in 3rd trim often near term
Disease manifestation of severe PE occur in all body systems as a result of widespread endothelial dysfunction
Decreased colloid osmotic
pressure, in combination with increased vascular permeability
and the loss of intravascular fluid and protein into
the interstitium, increases the risk for pulmonary
edema.129 Excess intravenous fluid is an important risk
factor for pulmonary edema in preeclamptic patients
Labetalol :α + β blocker Onset: 5-10 mins Maternal - tachycardia, hypotension Fetal-bradycardia, hypotension C/I :Asthma, CCF
Hydralazine Direct vasodilator Onset; 10-20 mins Maternal - hypotension, tachycardia,palpitation, arrythmia, headache, flushing Fetal- thrombocytopenia Causes sodium retention so use diuretic
No consensus regarding 1) ideal time to initiate t/t with MgSO4 2) best loading and maintenance dose 30 the optimal duration of therapy
Magnesium inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, decreases the sensitivity of the neuromuscular junction to acetylcholine, and depresses the excitability of the muscle fiber membrane.
MgSO4 and CCB : cause hypotension and NM blockade.
Thus NDMR low dose and response monitored with PNS
Even SUX mimics aCH
Postpartum close monitoring for airway, ventilation BP fluid intake and U/O
Longterm outcome: Women with a history of preeclampsia are at increased risk for chronic hypertension and cardiovascular disease, including ischemic heart disease and stroke, later in life and an earlier onset of cardiovascular disease than women with healthy pregnancies.Risks for ischemic heart disease and stroke are elevated approximately twofold
12% to 18% of women may be normotensive 13% of affected women – proteinuria is absent
Until proven otherwise the occurrence of seizue in pregnancy should be considered eclampsia
