Le infezioni in chirurgia ostetrico-ginecologica: chemioantibioticoprofilassi e terapia.
No full textThe Authors review, on the basis of their experience, the literature data concerning chemo-antibiotic prophylaxis in gynaecological surgery. Prophylaxis is widely employed although some important aspects are still under evaluation: bacterial selection and resistance, benefit in case of abdominal hysterectomy or elective Cesarean section, risk of pseudomembranous colitis. The most effective drugs are Piperacillin/Mezlocillin given in a single dose preoperatively. The same drugs are useful in the treatment of postsurgical infections
Oral Ondansetron and intravenous Dexamethasone in the prevention of cisplatin-induced emesis.
No full textFifty-eight previously untreated patients with gynecological cancer, assigned to cisplatin-based chemotherapy (40-80 mg/m2), received the following antiemetic treatment: day 0, oral ondansetron 8 mg 3 times/day + intravenous dexamethasone 16 mg; days 1-7, oral ondansetron 8 mg twice/day. In cycle 1 complete or major control (0-2 emetic episodes) was achieved in 94.6% of the patients in the acute phase (day 0) and in 89.2% in the delayed phase (day 1-7). In the subgroup receiving cisplatin > or = 75 mg/m2 the effect on acute and delayed emesis decreased significantly with subsequent courses. Reversible side effects were observed in 8.9% of the cases. Oral ondansetron was efficacious, well tolerated and is worth testing further in randomized trials with intravenous therapy

Cesarean section: an economic appraisal of infectious complications.
No full textFrom March 1991 to April 1992, in the Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Pavia-Varese, 107 out of 115 consecutive patients submitted to cesarean section were evaluated for the clinical and economic evaluation of infectious complications. On the grounds of our previous experience we distinguished two groups: a high infection risk group (50 pts), because of labor and/or rupture of membranes, HIV+, diabetes; and a low infection risk group (57 pts). Our findings support the choice of these selective criteria both for the infectious event or for the use, and thence for the costs, of antibiotic treatment. In fact, based on this experience we believe that in cesarean sections with high infection risk AP is always recommended whereas in the low risk ones AP should not exceed L. 10.095 to be cost-effective

No full textHellp-syndrome . Discussione di un caso.
No full textThe HELLP syndrome is the most severe variant of pre-eclampsia. A case is reported in a primigravida patient at 25 weeks of gestation. The lack of response to medical treatment and the deterioration of maternal indices necessitated a Cesarean section with intensive neonatal care at a very premature stage. The physiopathological grounds and the various methods of treating this syndrome are discussed and the paper concludes that rapid birth is the only solution capable of preventing severe maternal complications
