Operative care of obstetric patients

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America
Marianne S Cosgrove

Abstract

The operative care of pregnant patients, whether for delivery of the neonate or for a nonobstetric surgical procedure, must take into consideration many variables. An awareness of maternal physiologic changes, fetal requirements, effects of anesthetic agents on both the mother and the fetus, and the potential for complications is essential for obstetric anesthetists. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation of the parturient, ample preparation of drugs and equipment in the operative suite, and cooperation with the obstetrician and the surgical team are of major importance in ensuring the safe and effective anesthetic care of this special patient population.
