Maternal Physiological Changes During Pregnancy And Their Anesthesia Implications

This course gives anesthesia providers a clear, clinically focused roadmap to managing pregnant patients safely in both obstetric and non-obstetric settings. You’ll review how cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hematologic, GI, endocrine, and neurophysiologic changes in pregnancy alter drug response, airway and fluid management, and hemodynamics. Practical strategies are highlighted for neuraxial and general anesthesia, including the use of vasopressors like phenylephrine, safe airway management in a high-aspiration-risk population, and the role of oxytocin and fluid balance in postpartum hemorrhage. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to anticipate complications, individualize your anesthetic plan, and protect both mother and baby during labor, cesarean delivery, and urgent surgeries.
