Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Misoprostol reduz o sangramento uterino após o parto cesáreo sem efeitos prejudiciais para a mãe ou o bebê. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar os efeitos de misoprostol pré-operatório no sangramento materno e no tônus uterino e a necessidade de ocitocina após cesariana sob anestesia com isoflurano. MÉTODOS: Depois da aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética, 366 pacientes programadas para cesariana eletiva foram randomicamente designadas para receber 400 µg de misoprostol sublingual (n = 179) ou um comprimido de placebo (n = 187) após intubação. A anestesia foi mantida com CAM de isoflurano a 0,5-0,7 e óxido nitroso. Todas as pacientes receberam infusão de ocitocina (10 UI) após expulsão da placenta. A estimativa de perda sanguínea, do tônus uterino, da necessidade de ocitocina complementar, da contagem de hematócrito, dos escores de Apgar no 1º e aos 5 minutos e os efeitos adversos foram registrados. RESULTADOS: Após a indução, as pacientes que receberam misoprostol sublingual tiveram perda sanguínea perioperatória (202 ± 383,1 vs 708 ± 204,3 mL, p < 0,001), necessidade de ocitocina (p < 0,001), níveis mais elevados de hematócrito (p < 0,001) e tônus uterino (p < 0,02) menos significativos. A incidência de tremores foi maior no grupo misoprostol (p = 0,04). Não houve diferenças entre os dois grupos quanto aos índices de Apgar, náusea e vômito, distúrbios gastrointestinais e febre. CONCLUSÃO: A administração pré-operatória de misoprostol sublingual (400 µg) é segura e eficaz para atenuar o sangramento materno e o efeito no tônus uterino da anestesia com isoflurano em parto cesário.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Misoprostol would reduce the uterine bleeding after cesarean delivery without harmful effects on either mother or baby. We aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative misoprostol on maternal blood loss, uterine tone, and the need for additional oxytocin after cesarean delivery under isoflurane anesthesia. METHODS: After ethical approval, 366 patients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery were randomly allocated to receive either sublingual misoprostol 400 µg (n = 179) or placebo tablet (n = 187) after intubation. Anesthesia was maintained with 0.5-0.7 MAC isoflurane with nitrous oxide. All patients received intravenous infusion of 10 IU of oxytocin after placental delivery. Perioperative estimated blood loss, uterine tone, need for supplementary oxytocin, hematocrit, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min and adverse effects were recorded. RESULTS: After induction, patients receiving sublingual misoprostol had significant less perioperative estimated blood loss (202 ± 383.1 vs. 708 ± 204.3 mL, p < 0.001), need for oxytocin (p < 0.001), higher hematocrit levels (p < 0.001) and uterine tone (p < 0.02). The incidence of shivering was higher in the misoprostol group (p = 0.04). There were no differences between the two groups as regarding Apgar scores, nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances and pyrexia. CONCLUSION: Preoperative administration of sublingual misoprostol 400 µg is safe and effective in attenuating the maternal bleeding and uterine atony from isoflurane anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
