Pregnant Patient for Non-Obstetric Surgery

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Non-obstetric surgery occurs in up to 2% of all pregnancies in the United States and most commonly involves abdominal and orthopedic procedures. A multidisciplinary approach to care including experts in surgery, obstetrics, anesthesia, and neonatology provides the framework to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. Medically necessary surgery in the pregnant patient should never be delayed because delaying care is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although significant concern regarding anesthetic exposure in pregnancy and the potential for adverse fetal outcomes exists, no commonly used anesthetic agent has been shown to have negative effects on neurocognitive development or teratogenicity at any gestational age. While specific challenges exist when caring for the pregnant patient, the application of general ethical principles will help guide counseling and shared decision-making.
