Anesthetic management in intrauterine surgery to evaluate an experimental model of myelomeningocele in non human primates (Macaca mulatta).
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the anesthetic management in intrauterine surgery to induce myelomeningocele in non human primates Macaca mulatta.


METHODS
A total of nine fetuses had intrauterine surgery; laminectomy was performed on them in L5 and L6. The studied variables were: maternal death, fetus death, cardiac frequency, respiratory frequency, arterial pressure, temperature, and oxygen saturation.


RESULTS
No maternal or fetal deaths occurred; the only variable that was reported below the normal ranges was temperature.


CONCLUSIONS
No maternal or fetal deaths occurred; the only variable that was reported below the normal ranges was temperature.
