JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Durante cesariana sob raquianestesia observam-se alterações hemodinâmicas. São realizadas medidas de pressão arterial (PA) não invasiva e de frequência cardíaca (FC) para diagnosticar essas alterações, mas com atraso e imprecisão. Outros monitores como cateteres de pressão de enchimento e débito cardíaco (DC) com calibração externa são muito invasivos ou imprecisos. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar as medidas de débito cardíaco obtidas por um monitor minimamente invasivo não calibrado (LiDCO rapid) em pacientes submetidas à cesariana sob raquianestesia. RELATO DO CASO: Após aprovação da comissão de ética, quatro pacientes consentiram em participar do estudo. Elas foram submetidas à cesariana sob raquianestesia quando estavam conectadas ao LiDCO rapid por uma linha arterial radial. Os dados de DC, FC e BP foram registrados no momento basal, após instalação da raquianestesia, após extração fetal e placentária e após infusão de ocitocina e metaraminol. Foram observadas queda da PA, com aumento da FC e DC após a raquianestesia e infusão de ocitocina; e aumento da BP, com queda da FC e DC após bolus de vasopressor. CONCLUSÕES: Embora não calibrado, esse monitor produziu tendência de dados consistentes sobre a hemodinâmica de pacientes obstétricas e pode ser usado como guia terapêutico ou como ferramenta de pesquisa

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hemodynamic changes are observed during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Non-invasive blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) measurements are performed to diagnose these changes, but they are delayed and inaccurate. Other monitors such as filling pressure and cardiac output (CO) catheters with external calibration are very invasive or inaccurate. The objective of the present study was to report the cardiac output measurements obtained with a minimally invasive uncalibrated monitor (LiDCO rapid) in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. CASE REPORT: After approval by the Ethics Commission, four patients agreed to participate in this study. They underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia while at the same time being connected to the LiDCO rapid by a radial artery line. Cardiac output, HR, and BP were recorded at baseline, after spinal anesthesia, after fetal and placental extraction, and after the infusion of oxytocin and metaraminol. We observed a fall in BP with an increase of HR and CO after spinal anesthesia and oxytocin infusion; and an increase in BP with a fall in HR and CO after bolus of the vasopressor. CONCLUSIONS: Although this monitor had not been calibrated, it showed a tendency for consistent hemodynamic data in obstetric patients and it may be used as a therapeutic guide or experimental tool
