Objectives
• Briefly review the physiologic changes in the obstetric patient and their implications for anesthetic management
• Review common non-obstetric surgical procedures, techniques, and concerns surrounding fetal vulnerability
• Outline the anesthetic guidelines in managing the obstetric patient throughout non-obstetric surgery
Airway, Breathing…
Cardiovascular & Circulation…
Cardiovascular & Circulation…
Gastrointestinal…
• Increased gastric volume
• Mechanical outflow obstruction
• Delayed gastric emptying
• Increased gastric pressure
• Decreased motility and esophageal sphincter tone
Other Changes…
Non-Obstetric Surgery0.75-2% 1:500-635 75,000 per year
Appendicitis & Cholecystitis
You can do that?...
(Appendectomy)
Quick breather…
• Protection of Fetus• Pre-Term Labor• Principles & Guidelines
Fetal Vulnerability & Teratogenicity (Protection)
Timing
Physical & Chemical Properties
• Size : < 500 Da (Daltons) • Charge: Non-ionized• Protein Binding: Unbound drugs• Lipophilic
Placental Drug Transfer (Protection)
Teratogenicity (Protection)
• Susceptibility• Dose• Duration • Timing of exposure
Important Factors:
“To the best of our knowledge, danger of teratogenic effects from currently available anesthetic or sedative drugs remains only a potential risk”
Dr. Rosen-ASA
FDA categories:•Category A - known to be safe•Category B - appear to be safe•Category C - may cause problems•Category D - clear risks •Category X - confirmed birth defects
Respiratory and Hemodynamic Stability (Principles)
28-32 mmHg
Uterine Blood Flow & Fetal Asphyxia
• Left uterine displacement
• Trendelenburg position
• Fluid administration as indicated
• Leg elevation
• Vasopressors (ephedrine & phenylephrine)
• Minimal SBP = 100mmHg
• Hypotension = < 2 minutes
Fetal Heart Monitoring(ACOG & ASA)
• Individualized
• Minimum before and after
• Obstetric consultation & interpretation
• Institution with neonatal services
• Consent for emergent C-section
• Physician with C-section privileges
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
ACOG…
• Cesarean section: 30 minutes• “Immediate” availability of personnel• Physician with anesthesia privileges• Resources for local anesthetic toxicity• Newborn resuscitation team
In Conclusion…• Physiological Changes• Protection of the fetus (timing, teratogenicity)• Pre-Term Labor prevention • Principles for maternal and fetal stability
…and anesthetists!!!
“Precision and circumspection must be had and utilized when dealing with general anesthesia and pregnancy”
