Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialA prospective randomized trial of two solutions for intrapartum amnioinfusion: effects on fetal electrolytes, osmolality, and acid-base status.
Our purpose was to compare the effects of intrapartum amnioinfusion with normal saline solution versus lactated Ringer's solution plus physiologic glucose on neonatal electrolytes and acid-base balance. ⋯ Intrapartum amnioinfusion with normal saline solution or lactated Ringer's solution plus physiologic glucose has no effect on neonatal electrolytes or acid-base balance.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome in pregnancy: review of 11 cases.
Little information exists regarding thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome during pregnancy. We report a series of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome complicating pregnancy, with emphasis on diagnosis and management of this rare disorder. ⋯ Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome complicating pregnancy is associated with high maternal mortality and long-term morbidity. Preterm delivery and intrauterine fetal death are frequent complications of these pregnancies. Improved survival after this disorder has been attributed to aggressive treatment with plasma transfusion or plasmapheresis.
