Anaesthetic agents in pregnant women undergoing non-obstetric surgical or endoscopic procedures a review of the safety and guidelines

It has been estimated that up to 2% of pregnant women require non-obstetric surgery that may be performed during any trimester of their pregnancy. Depending on the type of surgery and condition of the patient, non-obstetric surgery may be performed using multiple options for anesthetic agents for ge...

520 |a It has been estimated that up to 2% of pregnant women require non-obstetric surgery that may be performed during any trimester of their pregnancy. Depending on the type of surgery and condition of the patient, non-obstetric surgery may be performed using multiple options for anesthetic agents for general anaesthesia (GA) or regional anaesthesia (RA). However, anaesthesia may present risks to both the mother and the fetus by increasing the potential for maternal and fetal hypoxia, adverse impact on fetal development, or loss of pregnancy. For this reason, proper anaesthesia management of the pregnant patient is particularly sensitive. To inform clinical practice decisions, it is important to identify whether certain anaesthetic agents or drugs are safer than others for use during surgery on pregnant patients, particularly during early pregnancy or in cases when the patient does not yet know she is pregnant. The purpose of this report is to review the clinical evidence and evidence-based guidelines regarding the safety of anaesthesia in pregnant women undergoing non-obstetric surgical or endoscopic procedures
