Pregnancy, induction

The rate of pregnancy induction ranges from 9.5% to 33.5%. The most common reason for induction is postdatism (>42 weeks), which occurs in 10% of all pregnancies. Other reasons for induction include suspected fetal growth retardation, maternal hypertension, premature rupture of membranes with no active onset of labor, or social factors. Contraindications for induction include placenta previa, oblique or transverse lie, pelvic structure abnormality, prolapsed umbilical cord, and active herpes. The concerns associated with induction of labor are that the labor may be ineffective or that side effects such as uterine hyperstimulation may adversely affect the infant, increasing the likelihood of cesarean section. 

In the interviewed entrepreneurs opinions, the professional ability required in various activities connected with the organie breeding production process is mostly upper-middle, especially for health eare and pregnancy induction concerns. Slaughtering and carcass processing are always done by other firms, but the entrepreneur of the cattle breeding farm located in the Padua Provinee expressed the intention to build a farm slaughterhouse. 

Toxicological studies have demonstrated that there are no important problems with fluconazole. Therapeutic doses of fluconazole may cause enzyme induction in the Hver. This suggests that interactions with other dmgs cannot be excluded. The side effects are similar to those of itraconazole and include nausea, headache, and vertigo. Occasionally, increased Hver enzymes may be noted. Like itraconazole, fluconazole is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Answer In this case, the decision to induce labor is appropriate. In caring for patients, physicians must decide who are appropriate patients for labor induction. The median length of human pregnancy is 40 weeks (when using the woman s menstrual period to date the pregnancy). Pregnancy is considered to be full-term from the 37 0/7 weeks to 41 6/7 weeks.

Thiopentone is administered as a 2.5% solution, the usual intravenous induction dose being 3-5 mg kg-1 in adults and 5-6 mg kg-1 in children. The dose necessary to induce anaesthesia is reduced by premedication, during early pregnancy and in critically ill patients. Patients over 70 years of age require a 30-40% lower dose because of a decrease in the volume of distribution, lower plasma proteins, and a slower redistribution of the drug from vessel-rich tissues. However, the above doses are merely guidelines, and the calculated dose should be administered over 10-20 seconds and the drug titrated to clinical effect, i.e. loss of eyelash reflex. 

As methohexitone is approximately 2.7 times more potent than thiopentone, a dose of 1.5 mg-kg-1 is equivalent to 4 mg-kg-1 of thiopentone in adults. As with thiopentone, the induction dose should be reduced in the elderly, in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade III or IV patients, and in early pregnancy.
