Abstract Background: Use of high-dose inhalational anesthesia during open fetal surgery may induce maternal–fetal hemodynamic instability and fetal myocardial depression. The authors’ preliminary human retrospective study demonstrated less fetal bradycardia and left ventricular systolic dysfunction with lower dose desflurane supplemented with propofol and remifentanil IV anesthesia (SIVA). In this animal study, the authors compare maternal–fetal effects of high-dose desflurane anesthesia (HD-DES) and SIVA. Methods: Of 26 instrumented midgestational ewes, data from 11 animals exposed to both SIVA and HD-DES in random sequences and six animals exposed to HD-DES while maternal normotension was maintained were analyzed. Maternal electroencephalography was used to guide comparable depths of anesthesia in both techniques. Hemodynamic parameters, blood gas, and fetal cardiac function from echocardiography were recorded. Results: Compared with SIVA, HD-DES resulted in significant maternal hypotension (mean arterial pressure difference, 19.53 mmHg; 95% CI, 17.6–21.4; P < 0.0001), fetal acidosis (pH 7.11 vs. 7.24 at 150 min, P < 0.001), and decreased uterine blood flow. In the HD-DES group with maternal normotension, uterine blood flow still declined and fetal acidosis persisted, with no statistically significant difference from the group exposed to HD-DES that had maternal hypotension. There was no statistically significant difference in fetal cardiac function. Conclusion: In sheep, SIVA affects maternal hemodynamics less and provides better fetal acid/base status than high-dose desflurane. Fetal echocardiography did not reflect myocardial dysfunction in this model.

We investigated whether blood pressure (BP) phenotype based on clinic & 24-hour ambulatory BP (ABP) was associated with intermediate markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 374 adolescents enrolled in a study of the relationship of BP to CV risk. Clinic BP was measured by auscultation and categorized using the 2017 AAP guideline. ABP was measured for 24 hours by an oscillometric device and analyzed using the adult ABP wake SBP cut-point (130 mmHg). This created 4 BP phenotype groups: normal BP (n=224), white coat hypertensive (n=48), ambulatory hypertensive (n=57) & masked hypertensive (n=45). Echocardiographic parameters & carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWVcf) were measured to assess CVD risk. Left ventricular mass (LVM) was lowest in the normal BP group, whereas multiple measures of cardiac function and PWVcf were worse in the masked and ambulatory hypertensive groups: Generalized linear models adjusted for body mass index (BMI) were constructed to examine the associations between BP phenotype and the measured CVD variables. ABP phenotype was an independent predictor of LVM, diastolic and systolic function and PWVcf in the unadjusted model. ABP phenotype remained significantly associated with diastolic function (E/e’, e’/a’), systolic function (ejection fraction) and increased arterial stiffness (PWVcf) after adjustment for BMI percentile (all p<=0.05). We conclude that BP phenotype is an independent predictor of markers of increased CVD risk in adolescents, including impaired cardiac function and increased vascular stiffness. ABP monitoring has an important role in CVD risk assessment in youth.
