CUESTA PERAZA, David et al. Anesthetic management in the intrapartum treatment of gastroschisis. Rev cuba anestesiol reanim [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.3, pp. 287-293. ISSN 1726-6718.

Introduction: the procedure ex-utero intrapartum treatment was created in 1997. It consists in maintaining fetal-placental circulation during the cesarean section to perform surgical interventions on the newborn. Gastroschisis is a congenital defect expressed as closure of the abdominal wall. This disorder was present in a newborn whose 15-year-old mother was surgically intervened, which was a challenge for anesthesiologists. Objective: present the anesthesiological evolution of a patient whose fetus was treated for gastroschisis during the same anesthetic-surgical act as the cesarean section. Clinical case: a case is presented of a 15-year-old patient for whom an intervention for a malformation in her baby was made to coincide with her cesarean section. The operation was based on placental circulation, for which general orotracheal anesthesia was administered without using tocolytics. The procedure was performed as planned. It is considered that success in the intrapartum treatment of gastroschisis is achieved by following a treatment protocol and working with an interdisciplinary team. In the procedure, use is made of the placental flow during a cesarean section before the end of pregnancy. This technique was first performed in Cuba. Conclusions: establishment of a strategy bearing in mind the specific characteristics of the case, as well as prior discussion of the procedure, were both crucial to the result obtained.
