Study Notes
Anesthesia in Obstetrics
- The obstetric population is more difficult to intubate compared to the non-pregnant population, and a smaller-than-usual endotracheal tube may be required due to swollen tissue.
- Cricoid pressure should not be released until it is confirmed that the endotracheal tube has been placed in the trachea.
Anesthetic Considerations
- Reduces the dose of inhaled anesthetics by up to 40%.
- Reduces the dose of local anesthetics for spinal and epidural anesthesia by up to 30%.
Epidural Space Changes
- Anatomical changes may create an epidural space that has positive pressure instead of negative pressure, making it slightly more difficult to identify the epidural space.
- Hormonal changes and venous expansion contribute to reducing the requirements of local anesthesia for spinal and epidural anesthesia by 30%.
Laryngoscopy and Intubation
- Be very gentle during laryngoscopy as bleeding may obstruct the view.
- A smaller endotracheal tube may be required for intubation due to swollen tissue.
