Fondaparinux is the preferred anticoagulant in patients
who develop heparin- induced thrombocytopenia, or severe
cutaneous reactions to heparin, as there is minimal crossreactivity with UFH.29 If a thromboembolic event results in
acute hemodynamic instability, supportive measures should
be initiated as described above forAFE.

Anticoagulation has implications for the initiation of neuraxial analgesia; as does timing of postpartum anticoagulation. e 2010 Guidelines for the American Society of
3. e patient has been switched to heparin at 36 weeks
gestation and is receiving 10,000 U twice a day. She
is now 38.5 weeks. How long must you wait prior
to placement of neuraxial labor analgesia? Would
thistimeframe change if she were on therapeutic
heparin?
4. e patient is requesting neuraxial labor analgesia 8
hours aer her last dose of heparin. What laboratory
values would you obtain?Why?
5. e patient never converted to heparin therapy
and remains on theraputic LMWH. When would
placement of neuraxial labor analgesia be appropriate?
What would the timing be if she had only been on
prophylacticLMWH?
Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) provide recommendations
for the timing of neuraxial anesthesia in anticoagulated
patients.36 If a patient has been anticoagulated with UFH
for > 4days, ASRA recommends a platelet count, given the
risk of heparin- induced thrombocytopenia. Measurement
of aPTT is not necessary in patients receiving prophylactic
doses of UFH. ASRA does not recommend a delay in the
initiation of neuraxial anesthesia in women receiving subcutaneous, prophylactic doses of UFH, or in women receiving
twice- daily dosing with a total daily dose of <10,000 units.
No laboratory tests apart from a platelet count are necessary
prior to neuraxial anesthesia in women receiving LMWH.
A delay of 10– 12 hours is recommended in women with
prophylactic dosing of LMWH, and 24 hours in women
receiving therapeutic doses. Any patient receiving UFH or
LMWH in addition to aspirin should not receive a neuraxial procedure for at least 24 hours. Aer delivery, the
ASRA guidelines dier from the guidelines of the American
Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists with regard to
the timing of reinitiation of anticoagulation in the setting
of recent neuraxial procedure; therefore, a multidisciplinary
discussion of anticoagulation plans is usually necessary.

Most air emboli are small, but even small volumes of air
can precipitate pulmonary vasospasm.43 Vasoactive mediators or mechanical obstruction of small vessels cause pulmonary vasoconstriction that results in V/ Q mismatch,

with parturients without sepsis.11 Purulent myometritis
may cause uterine irritability and subsequent tachysystole,18
and continuous fetal monitoring may reveal fetal tachycardia due to maternal fever, minimal or absent baseline variability, absent accelerations, and possibly decelerations.11
e fetal mortality rate in these cases has been reported as
high as 21.19%.17 Although a diagnosis of sepsis itself is not
necessarily an indication for prompt delivery, worsening

maternal respiratory or hemodynamic condition and nonreassuring fetal status may lead to emergency CD.6 However,
early, aggressive treatment for the mother is the rst priority and will oen improve fetal status.11 Sepsis secondary to
chorioamnionitis and/ or intrauterine fetal demise may be
other indications for delivery, since the source of infection
will be present as long as the pregnancy continues.
10,11
Timing of early delivery is dependent on maternal condition, gestational age, and fetal status.11 In a retrospective review
of 30 obstetric patients treated in an ICU setting for severe
sepsis and septic shock, the mean gestational age at diagnosis
of severe sepsis was 25.6 (±8.7) weeks, and patients delivered
at a mean age of 33.5 (±7.6) weeks; 9/ 15 antepartum patients
were treated for sepsis, discharged home, then readmitted for
delivery.6 In contrast, the mean gestational age of parturients
diagnosed with septic shock was 28.3 (±5.5) weeks, and they
were all delivered during the same admission at a mean gestational age of 28.4 (±5.9) weeks.

PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OFTHE
PARTURIENT WITHSEPSIS
PRESENTING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
e signs and symptoms of sepsis may present at any gestational age, during labor, in the operating room, recovery
room, or postpartum. Alow index of suspicion for sepsis is
important in diagnosing the condition early and establishing prompt treatment. Patients may present with vomiting,
diarrhea, malaise, myalgia, headache, productive cough, urinary symptoms, vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, abdominal aches between contractions, pelvic pain, and breast
pain.10 Patients may also present with altered mental status.
Asking about a history of sore throat or sick contacts may
assist in diagnosis.
In 2014, the Maternal Early Warning Criteria were dened
by the National Partnership for Maternal Safety in order to
reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with
critical illnesses, including hemorrhage, hypertensive crisis,
sepsis, venous thromboembolism, and heart failure.

INITIAL RESUSCITATION
Maternal mortality due to sepsis has been attributed to failures in three areas:diagnosis, administration of antibiotics,
and proper uid management.19 Due to the potential for
rapid decompensation, early, aggressive, goal- directed treatment should not be delayed.

Multiple factors inuence the choice and dosing of antibiotics for an obstetric patient with sepsis. ese include the
increased volume of distribution in pregnancy, increased

choice of antibiotics. In general, broad- spectrum antibiotics cover Gram- positive, Gram- negative, and anaerobic
bacteria.11 Recommended empiric antibiotics administered within 1 hour of sepsis diagnosis include gentamicin,
clindamycin, and penicillin11 (Box 48.2). Antimicrobial
agents can then be adjusted when culture results are available. Early consultation with an infectious disease physician and with the pharmacy is essential to proper antibiotic
management for sepsis in obstetric patients.

obstetrician, neonatologist, infectious disease physician,
critical care physician, and anesthesiologist allows for complete care of the mother and fetus. For the pregnant woman,
fetal monitoring may direct timing and route of delivery.
Neonates may require resuscitation at delivery, admission
to a neonatal ICU, and/ or administration of antibiotics.10
Anesthesiologists may be involved in the management of a
septic patient on the labor and delivery oor, in the operating room, or recoveryroom.
CONCLUSION
Sepsis is a preventable and treatable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. e incidence of maternal sepsis is
increasing in developing countries and may be due to an
increase in streptococcal and inuenza infections, delays
in recognition and diagnosis, and delays and inadequacy
in treatment. e Sepsis in Obstetrics Score may provide
more appropriate criteria for diagnosing sepsis in parturients. Early, goal- directed therapy with uids, antibiotics,
and vasopressors if necessary, as well as involvement of a
multidisciplinary team enhances care of both the mother
andfetus.
