摘要

Intrapartum fever is common and presents diagnostic and treatment dilemmas for the clinician. True maternal sepsis is rare; only an estimated 1.4% of women with clinical chorioamnionitis at term develop severe sepsis. However, the combination of inflammation and hyperthermia adversely impacts uterine contractility and, in turn, increases the risk for cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage by 2- to 3-fold. For the neonate, the rates of encephalopathy or the need for therapeutic hypothermia have been reported to be higher with a maternal fever >39°C when compared with a temperature of 38°C to 39°C (1.1 vs 4.4%; P<.01). In a large cohort study, the combination of intrapartum fever and fetal acidosis was particularly detrimental. This suggests that intrapartum fever may lower the threshold for fetal hypoxic brain injury. Because fetal hypoxia is often difficult to predict or prevent, every effort should be made to reduce the risk for intrapartum fever. The duration of exposure to epidural analgesia and the length of labor in unmedicated women remain significant risk factors for intrapartum fever. Therefore, paying careful attention to maintaining labor progress can potentially reduce the rates of intrapartum fever and the risk for cesarean delivery if fever does occur. A recent, double-blind randomized trial of nulliparas at >36 weeks' gestation demonstrated that a high-dose oxytocin regimen (6×6 mU/min) when compared with a low-dose oxytocin regimen (2×2 mU/min) led to clinically meaningful reductions in the rate of intrapartum fever (10.4% vs 15.6%; risk rate, 0.67; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.92). When fever does occur, antibiotic treatment should be initiated promptly; acetaminophen may not be effective in reducing the maternal temperature. There is no evidence that reducing the duration of fetal exposure to intrapartum fever prevents known adverse neonatal outcomes. Therefore, intrapartum fever is not an indication for cesarean delivery to interrupt labor with the purpose of improving neonatal outcome. Finally, clinicians should be ready for the increased risk for postpartum hemorrhage and have uterotonic agents on hand at delivery to prevent delays in treatment.
