Anesthesia for the Obstetric PatientUndergoing Non-Obstetric Surgery Daniel Rohrer RN, BSN, SRNA-S YCP/WellSpan Health CRNA Program
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
Gastrointestinal… • Increased gastric volume • Mechanical outflow obstruction • Delayed gastric emptying • Increased gastric pressure • Decreased motility • and esophageal sphincter tone
Non-Obstetric Surgery • 0.75-2% 1:500-635 75,000 per year
Quick breather… • Protection of Fetus • Pre-Term Labor • Principles & Guidelines
Placental Drug Transfer (Protection) Physical & Chemical Properties • Size : < 500 Da (Daltons) • Charge: Non-ionized • Protein Binding: Unbound drugs • Lipophilic
Teratogenicity (Protection) Important Factors: • Susceptibility • Dose • Duration • Timing of exposure • 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 “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
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
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” Discussion…
