2.2.2 Pain Management
2.2.2.1 NSAIDs
The use of NSAIDs during the second and third trimesters is associated with oligohydramnios and anuria. After 30weeks of gestation, it is associ­ated with an increased risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (Botalli’s duct), with subsequent pulmonary hypertension, intracranial hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis [79
84]. After appendectomy with CS, all classes of
medications could be used as in nonpregnant patients unless contraindicated for maternal reasons.
NSAIDs were the rst-choice treatment for symptomatic relief, but the risk of miscarriage was the highest with NSAID use around con­ception and increased with NSAID use for lon­ger than a week [8587]. Prostaglandins are needed to successfully implant an embryo into the uterus wall [88] and play an important role in human ovulation and implantation through their effect and interaction with platelet-activat­ing factors and cytokines, both in the uterus and in the embryo [89, 90]. Suppression of prosta­glandin biosynthesis by NSAIDs could lead to abnormal implantation with a predisposition for miscarriage [87]. There are also differences in transplacental pharmacokinetic parameters between different NSAIDs. The results suggest that the fetal risk of diclofenac is higher than salicylic acid and antipyrine [91]. If indicated, ibuprofen is the preferred agent. Unfortunately, selective NSAIDs (cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibi­tors) are classied in FDA category C because of increased peri-implantation and postimplan­tation losses and reduced fetal survival in rats and rabbits.
NSAIDs and aspirin should be given in
pregnancy only if the maternal benets out-
weigh the potential fetal risks, at the lowest
effective dose, and for the shortest duration
(less than a week) with avoidance during
conception and ideally after 30 weeks of
pregnancy.
2.2.2.2 Paracetamol
Paracetamol, which shares many indications with NSAIDs,did not affect the risk of miscarriage. NSAIDs and aspirin inhibit prostaglandin bio­synthesis in most organ systems, whereas paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis only in the central nervous system [86].
During pregnancy, paracetamol is the drug of choice for analgesic, anti- inammatory, and antipyretic action.
2.2.2.3 Opioids
Weak opioids such as codeine may be used as additional treatments to help control the pain. They are also helpful if NSAIDs are not tolerated or are contraindicated. Morphine analgesia and its derivatives should be avoided, as they may cause spasms of the sphincter of Oddi. This spasm may exacerbate an already painful acute cholecystitis or biliary obstruction.
2.2.2.4 Local Anesthesia
Long-acting local anesthesiautilized in laparo­scopic port sites or laparotomy wound improves postoperative analgesia, minimizing postopera­tive narcotic requirements.
2.2.3 Thromboprophylaxis andAnticoagulation
2.2.3.1 General Recommendations
The annual frequency of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the general population is 0.16–1% [92,
93], of which 2% are pregnancy-related [94].
Therefore, the risk of athromboembolic event, either DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE), during pregnancy and puerperium is estimated to be ten­fold higher, reaching 2% [92, 9598]. Gestational hormones, particularly estrogen, contribute to mild hypercoagulability during pregnancy by increasing the synthesis of clotting factors [99]. Thromboembolic phenomena are also promoted by intra-abdominal vascular stasis resulting from

compression by the enlarged gravid uterus. The risk may increase exponentially throughout the pregnancy [100]. Puerperium is the period with the highest venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, up to 25-fold higher than that in nonpreg­nant women [92, 96, 98, 101]. Around 43–60% of pregnancy-related PE episodes occur during puerperium [92, 95]. Approximately 80% of thrombotic events occur in the rst 3–4weeks after delivery and are explained by the immobil­ity and the trauma of pelvic vessels at delivery, leading to endothelial damage [102].
Hypercoagulability during the obstetric period is explained by many factors, including abnor­malities in coagulation proteins (increased levels of factors II, V, VII, VIII, X, XII, and von Willebrand factor, and decreased levels of protein S and activated protein C) and abnormalities in the brinolytic system (low plasma brinolytic activity during pregnancy, labor, and delivery) with decreased activity of tissue plasminogen activator. The most signicant changes occur in factor VIII and brinogen levels, each of which increases two to threefold [103, 104].
Pregnant women undergoing nonobstetric
surgery should be screened for venous throm-
boembolism risk and should have the appro-
priate perioperative prophylaxis administered.
(ACOG Committee opinion 2019 [1])
Risk factors for thrombosis during pregnancy are listed in Table2.4. The American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines 2012 is the most comprehen­sive thromboprophylaxis guideline for the preg­nant population [97].
• Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is recommended for the pre­vention and treatment of VTE instead of unfractionated heparin (UFH),
• For women receiving anticoagulation for the treatment of VTE who become pregnant, LMWH is recommended over vitamin K antagonists,
• The use of fondaparinux and parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors should be limited to those with severe allergic reactions to heparin (e.g., HIT) who cannot receive danaparoid,
• Avoid the use of oral direct thrombin (e.g., dabigatran) and anti-Xa (e.g., riva­roxaban, apixaban) inhibitors,
• For lactating women using warfarin, acenocoumarol, or UFH who wish to breastfeed, continuing the use of warfa­rin, acenocoumarol, or UFH is recommended,

• For lactating women using LMWH, danaparoid, or r-hirudin who wish to breastfeed, a continuation of LMWH, danaparoid, or r-hirudin is recommended,
• For breastfeeding women, alternative anticoagulants rather than fondaparinux are recommended,
• For breastfeeding women, alternative anticoagulants rather than oral direct thrombin (e.g., dabigatran) and factor Xa inhibitors (e.g., rivaroxaban, apixa­ban) are recommended,
• For lactating women using low-dose aspirin for vascular indications who wish to breastfeed, a continuation of this medication is recommended,
• For women undergoing assisted repro­duction, routine thrombosis prophylaxis is not recommended,
• For women undergoing assisted repro­duction who develop severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, thrombosis prophylaxis (prophylactic LMWH) for 3months postresolution of clinical ovar­ian hyperstimulation syndrome is recommended,
• For all pregnant women with prior VTE, postpartum prophylaxis for 6 weeks with prophylactic- or intermediate-dose LMWH or vitamin K antagonists tar­geted at INR 2.0-3.0 is recommended,
• For pregnant women at low risk of recurrent VTE (a single episode of VTE associated with a transient risk factor not related to pregnancy or use of estro­gen), only clinical vigilance antepartum is recommended,
• For pregnant women at moderate to high risk of recurrent VTE (single unprovoked VTE, pregnancy- or estrogen- related VTE, or multiple prior unprovoked VTE not receiving long- term anticoagulation), antepartum prophylaxis with prophylac­tic- or intermediate-dose LMWH is recommended,
• For pregnant women receiving long­term vitamin K antagonists, an adjusted dose of LMWH or 75% of a therapeutic dose of LMWH throughout pregnancy followed by resumption of long-term anticoagulants postpartum is recommended,
• For pregnant women with no prior his­tory of VTE who are known to be homo­zygous for factor V Leiden or the prothrombin 20210A mutation and have a positive family history of VTE, ante­partum prophylaxis with prophylactic­or intermediate-dose LMWH and postpartum prophylaxis for 6 weeks with prophylactic- or intermediate-dose LMWH or vitamin K antagonists tar­geted at INR 2.0-3.0 is recommended,
• For pregnant women with all other thrombophilias and no prior VTE who have a positive family history of VTE, antepartum clinical vigilance and post­partum prophylaxis with prophylactic­or intermediate-dose LMWH or, in women who are not protein C or S de­cient, vitamin K antagonists targeted at INR 2.0-3.0 are recommended,
• For pregnant women with no prior his­tory of VTE who are known to be homo­zygous for factor V Leiden or the prothrombin 20210A mutation and who do not have a positive family history of VTE, antepartum clinical vigilance and postpartum prophylaxis for 6 weeks with prophylactic- or intermediate-dose LMWH or vitamin K antagonists tar­geted at INR 2.0-3.0 are recommended,
• For pregnant women with all other thrombophilias and no prior VTE who do not have a positive family history for VTE, antepartum and postpartum clini­cal vigilance are recommended,
• For women with recurrent early preg­nancy loss (three or more miscarriages before 10weeks of gestation), screening for APLAs is recommended,
30
https://t.me/medicina_free
• For women with a history of pregnancy complications, no screening for inher­ited thrombophilia is recommended,
• For women who fulll the laboratory criteria for APLA syndrome and meet the clinical APLA criteria based on a history of three or more pregnancy losses, antepartum administration of prophylactic- or intermediate-dose UFH or prophylactic LMWH combined with low-dose aspirin, 75–100 mg/d is recommended,
• For women with inherited thrombo­philia and a history of pregnancy com­plications, antithrombotic prophylaxis is not recommended,
• For women considered at risk for pre­eclampsia, low-dose aspirin throughout pregnancy, starting from the second trimester,is recommended,
• For women with two or more miscar­riages but without APLA or thrombo­philia, antithrombotic prophylaxis is not recommended,
• For pregnant women with mechanical heart valves: (a) adjusted-dose bid LMWH throughout pregnancy to achieve the manufacturer’s peak anti-Xa LMWH 4h postsubcutaneous injection, or (b) adjusted-dose UFH throughout pregnancy administered subcutaneously every 12h in doses adjusted to keep the mid-interval aPTT at least twice control or attain an anti-Xa heparin level of
0.35–0.70 units/mL, or (c) UFH or LMWH (as above) until the 13th week, with substitution by vitamin K antago­nists until close to delivery when UFH or LMWH is resumed.
2.2.3.2 Low-Risk Surgery
Many factors can alter postoperative coagulation. These include the type of operation [105] and anesthesia [106]. Postoperative changes in cyto­kine levels are affected by even more factors: the
2 Anesthetic andPerioperative Management
type of the procedure and the anesthetic tech­nique or anesthetic agent [107], the duration of the operation [108], and the use of autologous or allogenic transfusion [109].
Open surgery (OS), compared with laparo­scopic surgery (LS), leads to activation of the clot­ting system to a higher degree, implying a greater thromboembolic risk. Subclinical brinolysis is also more profound with OS.Although of a lower degree, hypercoagulability is observed in patients undergoing LS. This fact, combined with the pneumoperitoneum-induced venous stasis of the legs, explains the reduced, but not negligible,rate of thromboembolic complications after LS. Therefore, routine thromboembolic prophy­laxis (subcutaneous LMWH, elastic compression stockings, intraoperative pneumatic stockings, and early postoperative patient mobilization) should be considered for LS [110]. Gestational hormones, particularly estrogen, contribute to mild hyperco­agulopathy during pregnancy by increasing the synthesis of clotting factors [99]. If a laparotomy can be avoided, recovery time is greatly reduced; thus, postoperative complications due to immobi­lization, such as DVT and PE, are less likely. Prophylaxis with pneumatic compression devices, both intraoperatively and postoperatively, and early postoperative ambulation are recommended.
No recommendations for thromboprophylaxis exist for low-risk groups (appendectomy via lap­aroscopy or gridiron incision, isolated Fallopian tube torsion, and (ruptured) ectopic pregnancy). The use of calf-length sequential pneumatic com­pression stockings increases venous return and prevents the risk of VTE [111]. Early ambulation further minimizes or eliminates the VTE risk.
2.2.3.3 Elective Cholecystectomy
A marked hypercoagulable state after LC is seen by an increase in the thromboelastographic index on the rst postoperative day compared to preop­erative values [105]. Reports have documented a reduction in postoperative hypercoagulability after LS compared to OS [112, 113]. A signi­cant increase in prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 levels after LC is found, but these levels were sig­nicantly lower than those after OC [113]. Conversely, others have not found a difference in

31
postoperative hemostasis between LC and OC [114, 115]. Fibrinogen levels increased and reached maximum levels at 72h, but signicantly less after LC than after OC.In contrast, plasmin­ogen levels decreased postoperatively without a signicant difference between groups [116]. LC is associated with a lesser degree of thromboem­bolic complications despite pneumoperitoneum, which, by reducing venous inow toward the heart, promotes venous stasis of the legs and pre­disposes to DVT [117, 118]. TAT, F1, FIB, solu­ble brin, and D-dimer plasma levels until 72h after surgery were signicantly higher in the OC group than in the LC group, implying signi­cantly higher activation of coagulation and bri­nolysis in the OC group [116]. The levels of coagulation factors and cytokines were,on aver­age, two times higher in the OC group. Other nonrandomized studies found insignicant dif­ferences in brinolytic activity between OC and LC groups [114, 115, 119]. Postoperative DVT is additionally reduced after LC due to the early mobility of such patients.
2.2.3.4 Emergent Cholecystectomy
The emergent LC carries a better fetal prognosis than delayed cholecystectomy (see Sect.
16.1.8.4). Still, there are several issues. First is
coagulation and brinolysis mechanisms during pregnancy complicated with acute cholecystitis. Second is the question of coagulation during the complete process of cholecystitis as a disease. Is it better to perform emergent cholecystectomy with initially increased coagulation or to start medical management, which, due to inamma­tion, also increases coagulation? Moreover, coag­ulation is also increased in the second phase of the treatment process when delayed elective cho­lecystectomy is performed. There are no recom­mendations for additional thromboprophylaxis in acute cholecystitis during pregnancy.
IVF Pregnancy
Currently, there is only one case report of LC due to acute cholecystitis during pregnancy [99]. Thromboprophylaxis should be recommended in dosage for IVF pregnancy due to its higher risk for VTE.Prospective studies should solve this issue.
2.2.3.5 General IBD Patients (ECCO
Consensus)
IBD patients in general, particularly those hospi­talized with theactive disease, are at increased risk for VTE [120, 121]. Hospitalized pregnant IBD patients have an increased risk of VTE com­pared to non-IBD pregnant controls, for CD an OR 6.12 and UC an OR 8.44. LMWH in a pro­phylactic dose reduces VTE risk in medical and surgical patients by 60–70%.
LMWH is safe and effective in the pregnant population [122]. Therefore, prophylactic LMWH in pregnant IBD patients experiencing a relapse or being admitted to the hospital is rec­ommended. Women should undergo a docu­mented assessment of risk factors for VTE in early pregnancy or before pregnancy. This assess­ment should be repeated if the woman is admitted to the hospital and again after delivery.
Pregnant women with IBD are at increased risk of vitamin D insufciency compared with those without IBD. The current guidelines for vitamin D supplementation (400IU/day) may be inadequate for pregnant women with IBD [123].
2.2.3.6 Cesarean Section
The VTE incidence rate following CS is 1.78%, with an odds ratio of 2 [95]. Thromboprophylaxis guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines 2012 for women undergoing CS are presented [97]:
• For women undergoing CS without additional thrombosis risk factors, thromboprophylaxis is not recom­mended other than early mobilization,
• For women at increased risk of VTE after CS because of the presence of one major or at least two minor risk factors, pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis (prophylactic LMWH) or mechanical prophylaxis (elastic stockings or inter­mittent pneumatic compression) in those with contraindications to antico-

agulants while in hospital following delivery is recommended,
• For women undergoing CS who are considered to be at very high risk for VTE and who have multiple additional risk factors for thromboembolism that persist in the puerperium, prophylactic LMWH should be combined with elas­tic stockings or intermittent pneumatic compression,
• For selected high-risk patients in whom signicant risk factors persist following delivery, extended prophylaxis (up to 6 weeks after delivery) following dis­charge from the hospital is recommended.
2.2.3.7 Torsion oftheGravid Uterus
Several cases of PE after uterine detorsion [124,
125] exist. Therefore, LMWH (enoxaparin 20mg
once a day) for 6weeks to prevent VTE is recom­mended [126].
2.2.3.8 Venous Thromboembolism
Therapeutic recommendations for VTEduring pregnancy from the American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines 2012 are presented [97]:
• For pregnant women with acute VTE, adjusted-dose subcutaneous LMWH over adjusted-dose UFH is recommended,
• For pregnant women with acute VTE, LMWH over vitamin K antagonist treat­ment antenatally is recommended,
• For pregnant women with acute VTE, anticoagulants should be continued for at least 6weeks postpartum (for a mini­mum total duration of therapy of 3months),
• For pregnant women receiving adjusted­dose LMWH therapy and where deliv­ery is planned, discontinuation of LMWH at least 24h before induction of labor or CS (or expected time of neur­axial anesthesia) rather than continuing LMWH up until the time of delivery is recommended.
Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis
Guidelines for the duration of anticoagulation after pregnancy for mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) do not exist, and decisions on a case-by­case basis need to be taken by hematologists [127]. In the general population, anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis is made, includ­ing when the diagnosis is delayed until surgery [128]. Although maintenance anticoagulation therapy is recommended for at least 6  months after diagnosis to prevent the recurrence of the thrombosis, its benet was questioned during pregnancy [129]. Lifelong anticoagulation is warranted with inherited hypercoagulable disor­ders (i.e., protein S, protein C, antithrombin III deciencies, and factor V Leiden mutation). For a general population with reversible predisposing causes, at least 6 months of anticoagulation is recommended [130].
Guidelines for anticoagulation management strategies exist for various clinical situations before and after controlled ovarian stimulation [131, 132]. A history of prior MVT should be placed in the clinical classication of the previ­ous episode(s) of venous thromboembolism receiving long-term anticoagulation. It is rec­ommended to switch from oral anticoagulants to LMWH therapy (e.g., enoxaparin 1 mg/kg every 12h) before controlled ovarian stimula­tion and continue throughout pregnancy [131,
132]. The recommendation is to refrain from
administering LMWH for 24 h before egg retrieval and restart therapeutic anticoagulation
2.3 Perioperative Management

33
3h after egg retrieval [131, 132]. Without large studies, IVF associated with MVT indicates lifelong oral anticoagulation in patients at low risk for bleeding and full anticoagulation with LMWH per the above protocol during repeat IVF cycles. However, controversy in preventing venous thrombosis exists after delivery, espe­cially if no risk factors were detected [133]. Though the induction of oral anticoagulation in protein C deciency has been widely used, it carries signicant risks in patients with esopha­geal varices and thrombocytopenia [134].
2.3 Perioperative Management
Surgery should be done at an institution with neo­natal and pediatric services.
(ACOG Committee opinion 2019 [1])
An obstetric care provider with cesarean delivery privileges should be readily available.
(ACOG Committee opinion 2019 [1])
2.3.1 Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
If the fetus is considered previable, it is generally sufcient to ascertain the fetal heart rate by Doppler before and after the procedure.
(ACOG Committee opinion 2019 [1])
At a minimum, if the fetus is considered to be via­ble, simultaneous electronic fetal heart rate and contraction monitoring should be performed before and after the procedure to assess fetal well­being and the absence of contractions.
(ACOG Committee opinion 2019 [1])
There are two principal types of FHR moni­toring: internal and external (Fig. 2.2). When emergency abdominal conditions are considered, only the external type is used. FHR, after 16weeks of pregnancy, should be monitored pre­and postoperatively in the setting of urgent
abdominal surgery during pregnancy (Evidence level III) [135, 136]. In specic circumstances, intraoperative electronic fetal monitoring can be appropriate but is never practiced in emergency abdominal surgery in pregnancy [1]. Indirect (transabdominal) intraoperative FHR (every 5min in the lower left quadrant without disina­tion) resembles external FHR monitoring (Fig.2.3a) to detect fetal distress and is used dur­ing laparoscopy. No intraoperative FHR abnor­malities have been reported [137, 138]. Direct (transuterine) FHR monitoring is performed dur­ing laparotomy (Fig. 2.3b). Three methods of intraoperative FHR monitoring include (1) car­diotocography, (2) ultrasonography with a trans­esophageal echocardiographyprobe, and (3) point-of-care ultrasound [139, 140]. One of the limitations of point-of-care ultrasound is that it cannot always serve as a continuous monitoring tool because of interference from the pneumo­peritoneum. External monitors of uterine con­tractions are variably effective in the insufated abdomen [141].
The effects of general anesthesia on cardioto­cography result in a reduction of beat-to-beat variation with normal baseline frequency. The decreased variability can persist until 90min in the postoperative course due to the residual effects of anesthetic agents on the fetus. Also, preoperative anxiety and stress can further increase catecholamine levels. This could be mis­interpreted as fetal distress, leading to an emer­gency delivery and adding to fetal morbidity and mortality [143]. Additional factors that can inu­ence intraoperative beat-to-beat variations are surgical manipulation, especially of the pregnant uterus, primary inammatory process, or bleed­ing. Transvaginal sonography should be used during the procedure because the signals from transabdominal ultrasound would be lost during insufation [144146]. This has led some to rec­ommend only pre-, and postoperative monitoring

level of consciousness, seizures, cardiac or respi-
ratory depression) and potentially death [148]. The pathophysiology of refeeding syndrome relates to the rapid rise in insulin production fol­lowing a carbohydrate or protein shock when protein calories are administered at a rate above which the patient can tolerate. This can occur in those receiving moderate dietary intake depend­ing on their underlying nutritional, metabolic, or physical condition and may arise with glucose administration alone. This insulin release, associ­ated with possible increased insulin sensitivity, leads to increased cellular uptake of glucose, uid, and electrolytes with associated altered plasma availability of electrolytes.
Refeeding syndrome can manifest as either metabolic changes (hypokalemia, hypophospha­temia, hypomagnesemia, altered glucose metab­olism, and uid balance abnormalities) or physiological changes (i.e., arrhythmias, altered
Table 2.5 Initial management of refeeding syndrome
1. Identication and Treatment of Sepsis
• May not be clinically apparent but may explain an acute deterioration
• Low threshold for septic screen
• Low threshold for broad-spectrum antibiotics (orally or via NG tube if possible)
2. Fluid Resuscitation and Monitoring Fluid Balance
• Assess and carefully restore circulatory volume, monitor pulse rate, uid intake, and output
• Malnourished patients have a reduced tolerance of intravenous uids in moderate to high intakes (>2L/24h),which can lead to heart failure
• Administration of intravenous uids may be necessary for the initial 72h until sufcient oral intake is achieved
• Evidence of dehydration—for careful rehydration, i.e., 1–2L in the rst 24h, depending on response. Greater volumes only if severely dehydrated
• Total uid intake (including intravenous, enteral, and oral) should aim for a maximum of 30mL/kg per day (1.5L)
• At least 6 hourly monitoring of blood pressure, pulse,and respiratory rate is necessary to detect evidence of heart failure or inadequate intravascular volume
3. Correction of Electrolyte Abnormalities
• Ensure recent (last 48h) electrolyte levels are available. These should include: urea and electrolytes, phosphate, calcium, magnesium (add to standard blood prole), liver function tests, full blood count
• If electrolytes are deranged, consider and treat possible causes
• Perform ECG if Potassium is less than 3.5mmol/L or Phosphate is less than 0.80mmol/L
• Organize supplementation if: Phosphate <0.8mmol/L, K<3.5mmol/L, Mg <0.5mmol/L or adjusted Ca <2.0mmol/L
• Caution should be used in renal patients due to the reduced excretion of these electrolytes
• If very low plasma electrolyte values are demonstrated, e.g., Phosphate <0.32mmol/L
• K<2.5mmol/L, Mg <0.5mmol/L, then the institution of feeding or nutritional support may result in a further drop of these electrolytes to possibly critical levels. Electrolyte correction with oral or intravenous supplementation is required to achieve levels above these thresholds before the institution of feeding
Total Parenteral Nutrition inPregnancy
Total parenteral nutrition has been used success­fully in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravi­darum, postintestinal surgery, and acute pancreatitis [149]. The maternal and neonatal outcomes measured by adequate maternal weight gain and fetal growth are not compromised by total parenteral nutrition [150]. The average daily intake through total parenteral nutrition in preg­nant women should be 2430kcal [151]. However, it is better to increase daily calories to avoid refeeding syndrome.

4. Correction of Hypoglycemia/Blood Sugar Control
• Monitor blood glucose once to twice daily unless more frequent tests are indicated (i.e., for those patients with known diabetes or IGT)
• If hypoglycemic, replace IV uids with 5% glucose
5. Management of Hypothermia
• Monitor body temperature and, if necessary, the core temperature at least daily
• Hypothermia is commonly associated with malnutrition. Its correction should be simultaneous with uid rehydration and can include the provision of heated drinks and blankets
6. Correction/Prevention of Micronutrient Deciencies
• Administer Thiamine 100mg orally or crushed via feeding tube three times daily for 10days or until recommended feeding rate is reached, with the rst dose being administered at least 30min before instituting feeding
• If an enteral route is not available, the patient has anorexia nervosa or has chronic alcoholism; administer Pabrinex IVHP—1 pair of ampoules 30minutes before instituting feeding and then daily until recommended feeding rate reached
• Administer vitamin B compound strong (one tablet three times daily) and Sanatogen Gold (one tablet daily) orally or crushed via a feeding tube

Monitor until levels are in the reference range or the patient is on a stable feeding regimen:
Clinical deterioration may reect rapid overfeeding. Too little is always safer than too much, half the rate of feeding and observe
Monitoring of patients with suspected or
• Serum urea and electrolytes, adjusted calcium, phosphate, and liver function tests at least daily
• Serum magnesium; baseline, every 3days and then weekly once stable
• Fluid balance daily
• Blood glucose once to twice daily unless more frequent tests are indicated
• Temperature, pulse, respiration, heart rate; daily
• Blood pressure 6 hourly
• ECG if abnormal heart rate or pulse. The patient will require cardiac monitoring if there is evidence of cardiac abnormalities on assessment or during refeeding. If necessary, transfer to the appropriate ward
Early parenteral nutrition in Crohn’s disease maintains normal maternal metabolism and nor­mal fetal development in patients with the opera­tion and complicated perioperative courses. Early parenteral nutrition should be considered in acute pancreatitis due to a protracted course with dis­ease ares.
2.3.2.2 Perinatal Outcome
Symptomatic cholelithiasisor cholecystitis in pregnant women could be associated with a
higher risk of neonatal neural tube defects [152]. Confounding factors for preterm labor should be considered. An association exists between neural tube defects or other congenital anomalies and high fever during the critical period [153]. The hypothesis for the association between symptom­atic cholelithiasis or cholecystitis and neural tube defects is based on a frequently present fever. It is a single factor that may play a role in the origin of neural tube defects (see Sect. 4.7.3). Thus, peri­conceptional folic acid/multivitamin supplemen­tation in pregnant women with symptomatic cholelithiasis or cholecystitis is recommended [152, 153] and other abdominal conditions when the caloric intake is diminished. Folic acid and folic acid-containing multivitamins were less fre­quent in the symptomatic cholelithiasis or chole­cystitis group, partly due to a higher rate of anorexia or vomiting. No association between the bacterial causes of cholecystitis and neural tube defects has been proven [154]. The drugs used to treat symptomatic cholelithiasis or cholecystitis have no role in the origin of neural tube defects. Recommended prenatal vitamin supplementation is based on the inverse relationship of the B vitamins (i.e., folate, vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12), minerals, and vitamin E with CDH in new­borns [155].
Dietary supplementation of ω-3 has been sug­gested as secondary prevention of all-cause spon­taneous preterm delivery, implying that ω-3 fatty
