Abstract

Problems with labor may not indicate whether delivery of an infant will be difficult because of large shoulders. Researchers reviewed 276 cases of shoulder dystocia, or difficult delivery of the shoulders, and compared these cases to those of normal vaginal deliveries. Both groups had similar rates of problems with labor. More patients with shoulder dystocia underwent induction of labor than did those without dystocia. The rate of vaginal delivery assisted by forceps or vacuum extraction was significantly higher for the shoulder dystocia group. Among women who had never had children before, prolonged pushing was associated with shoulder dystocia. Very large infants were more likely to cause shoulder dystocia.

Abstract

Plasma exchange, in which patients are 'transfused' with their own blood cells in donor plasma, is one treatment for familial hypercholesterolemia, which normally results in excessively high levels of cholesterol in the blood. It is rare for women with familial hypercholesteremia to become pregnant and give birth. Plasma exchange was used to help one such patient to a normal delivery. The woman had been diagnosed with high cholesterol at age five, and with coronary artery disease at age 17. At 22 she began plasma exchange at three- to four-week intervals. At 25 she became pregnant, and refused plasma exchange for 15 weeks. After that time, plasma exchange was performed every four weeks until 27 weeks of gestation, at which point the interval was reduced to every 10 to 14 days. Ultrasonographic measurements demonstrated improved placenta blood flow after exchange, presumably resulting from a reduction in blood viscosity. Despite the hypercholesterolemic effect which pregnancy has on most women, and despite the pre-existing coronary disease in this patient, at 39 weeks the young woman gave uneventful birth to a 2,700 gram boy.
