Abstract
Developments and knowledge of the structure
and dynamic function of the placenta during the last
century as well as the appearance of various
techniques to assess fetal evaluation; eventually
encouraged physicians to acknowledge the potential
fetal problems associated with administration of
anesthetic drugs not only during delivery but a variety
of obstetric and non-obstetric indications exist that
lead to exposure of both the pregnant mother and her
fetus to anesthesia. The anesthesiologist must consider
the potential impact of surgery and anesthesia on fetal
well-being, the potential for fetal exposure to
teratogens among the anesthetic agents and other
drugs administered perioperatively, the fetal risk for
harmful alterations in uteroplacental perfusion and
oxygenation, and risk of preterm delivery. Additional
concerns are whether surgery and anesthesia during
early gestation pose hazard to the developing fetus, by
increasing the risk of congenital anomalies and
spontaneous abortion.
