Physiology of pregnancy: clinical anaesthetic implications

Abstract: Pregnancy causes anatomical and physiological changes that have implications for the anaesthetist not only for intrapartum management but also when surgery is required incidentally to pregnancy. These adaptations primarily occur, so that the metabolic demands of the growing fetus may be met.

“…This agreed with the published study by Andrew et al ., where decreased BPs were reported in early period of pregnancy as a compensatory response to falling systemic vascular resistance 21 . An increase in maternal HR is possibly associated with increased cardiac output and stroke volume 22 .…”

Padidėjęs kvėpavimas lemia mažesnį parcialinį anglies dvideginio slėgį arteriniame kraujyje ir respiracinę alkalozę, kuri kompensuojama mažėjančiu bikarbonatų kiekiu kraujyje.…”

“…6,7 Physiological changes during pregnancy Maternal hormonal changes during pregnancy cause a reduction in systemic vascular resistance and a resulting increase in cardiac output in order to maintain arterial BP. 8 In general, this leads to an increase in stroke volume and results in an increase in left ventricular muscle mass, but the extent of cardiac changes varies from person to person. Some healthy pregnant women may have a lower than expected cardiac output measured on echocardiography; mild diastolic dysfunction is present in some asymptomatic pregnant women who are otherwise healthy.…”
