Features of anesthesia in pregnant women with subarachnoid hemorrhages

Abstract

The review of the literature on anesthesia in pregnant women with subarachnoid hemorrhage is presented. Physiological changes of pregnancy should by undoubtedly taken into consideration while performing anesthesia and surgery because of the comorbidities. Particularly, the oxygen intake is higher in pregnant. Adequate systolic pressure is also a very important parameter maintaining the intrauterine blood flow and fetus perfusion during the whole term of pregnancy. Medications used in pregnant women can also influence the fetus. From the clinical point of view, the selection of anesthetics and other medications allowed for use in pregnant women should be limited to medications that are proven to be safe. Pharmacological effects of the medications, used for anesthesia and treatment of pregnant women with subarachnoid hemorrhage are covered in the review, including their influence on fetus. Surgical treatment options for pregnant women at different pregnancy terms with different conditions requiring neurosurgery are surveyed. Post-surgical rehabilitation of pregnant women with subarachnoid hemorrhage is reviewed. In each particular clinical case an individual anesthesia plan should be created considering the pregnancy term and features of the disease.
