↓ FRC + ↑O2 Consumption
=
Rapid desaturation during
periods of apnea.
☼Pre-oxygenation prior to GA is mandatory.
☼Parturient Should not lie flat without
supplemental oxygen.
↓FRC & ↑MV
☼ ↑Uptake of Inhalational
Anesthetics.

Hormonal Changes
Capillary engorgement of
respiratory tract mucosa
1) ↑ Incidence of difficult intubation.
2) Trauma and bleeding during
endotracheal intubation.
☼ Use a small ETT (6 – 7 mm)
during GA
9
Hematological
Changes
I : ↑ Blood Volume ( up to 90ml/ Kg)
↑ by 1000 – 1500 ml at term.
Returns to normal 1 – 2 weeks postpartum.
+
↑ Plasma Volume > ↑ RBC mass
=
Dilutional anemia & ↓ blood viscosity
Facilitates maternal & fetal
exchange of respiratory gases,
nutrients & metabolites
↓ Impact of maternal blood
loss at delivery

II : Hypercoagulable state
↑ Fibrinogen, factors VII, VIII, IX, X & XII
↓Factor XI
Risk Of DVT
One of the leading causes of maternal mortality
III : Other changes:
* Leucocytosis up to 21,ooo/µL.
* 10-20% ↓ in platelet count.
* Marked ↓ cell mediated immunity→ ↑susceptibility
to viral infection.
11
CVS
↑ COP by 40% at term
↑ HR 15 – 30%
↑ SV 30%
Returns to normal 2 weeks postpartum.
↓ SVR → ↓ SBP & ↓↓ DBP, the response to adrenergic and vasoconstr
agents is decreased.
CVP, PAP, PAWP → unchanged.
12
Supine Hypotension syndrome
COP ↓ in supine position after 28th week of gestation.
Occurs in 20% of women at term.
Aortocaval compression
Compression of IVC
↓ VR → ↓ COP by 24% at term.
Compression of lower aorta
↓ blood flow to kidneys,
uteroplacental circulation
&
lower extremeties

14
No woman in late pregnancy should lie supine without shifting
the uterus off the great abdomino-pelvic vessels.

The right hip
Tilting the table
Left side down
Fluid preloading before neuroaxial anesthesia
It does not completely avoid maternal hypotension but
it↑ maternal COP → preserve uteroplacental
blood flow.
15
GIT
The parturient should be considered a full stomach patient
during most of gestation
☼ Upward displacement of the stomach by the
uterus → Incompetence of gastroesophageal
sphincter → Gastroesophageal reflux & esophagitis.
☼ ↑ Progesterone → ↓ tone of gastroesophageal sphincter.
☼ Placental Gastrin → Hypersecretion of gastric acid.
☼ Gastric emptying → Delayed with labor.
16
For GA:
Pharmacological prophylaxis against aspiration.
No positive pressure ventilation before intubation
Rapid sequence induction.

Renal
System
♦ RBF & GFR ↑ by 50% at 1st trimester but returns to
normal in 3rd trimester.
♦↑ Renin & Aldosterone → Na+ retention.
♦ Sr. Creatinine & BUN may ↓ to 0.5 – 0.6mg/dL &
8 – 9 mg/dL respectively.
♦↓ Renal tubular threshold for glucose & amino acids → mild
glycosuria (1-10g/d) & proteinuria (< 300mg/d).
♦ Plasma osmolality ↓ by 8 – 10 mosm/Kg.
18
Hepatic
Effects
♦Hepatic function & hepatic blood flow→ unchanged.
♦Minor ↑ in Sr. Transaminases & LDH in 3rd trimester.
♦↑ Sr. Alkaline phosphatase (placental).
♦ Mild ↓ in Sr. albumin (dilutional).
♦ 25 – 30% ↓ in pseudocholine estrase activity.
♦↑ Progesterone levels→ inhibit release of cholecystokinin→ incomp
emptying of gall bladder→ altered bile acid composition→ formation
of cholesterol stones.
19
Metabolic
Effects
Pregnancy is Diabetogenic
Human Placental lactogen→ relative insulin resistance.
Starvation like state
↓ Blood Glucose & Amino Acid levels.
↑ Free Fatty Acids, Ketones & triglycerides.
↑ Estrogen levels→Thyroid gland hypertrohy→ ↑ T 3 & T4
↑ TBG → Free T3, T4 & TSH remain normal
20
Uteroplacental Circulation
At term: uterine blood
flow is 10% of COP
≈ 600 – 700 ml/min.
80% to placenta
21
aximally dilated uterine vasculature with absent autoregulation.
Uterine Blood Flow
Directly proportional to difference between
uterine arterial and venous pressure.
Inversely proportional to uterine
vascular resistance.
Abundant α-adrenergic
& some β-adrenergic receptors.
Previously , vasoconstrictor agents with predominant β-adrenergic activity
(e.g. Ephedrine) were of choice for hypotension during pregnancy.
Recent studies show that α-adrenengic drugs (e.g.Phenylephrine) have
better effects.

♦ Barbiturates &
Propofol.
♦ Hypertensive disorders
→ generalized vasoconstriction.
♦ Extreme hypocapnia
PaCO2 < 20 mmhg.
23
Placental transfer of anesthetic agents
Placental transfer of drugs depends on:
1: Molecular weight : < 500 Da cross easily.
2: Protein binding.
3: Lipid solubility: Highly ionized substances have poor lipid solubi
4: Maternal & fetal pH : affect ionization of the drug.
5: Maternal drug concentration: affected by dose given
and route of administration.
6: Timing of administration.
24
Limited effects if <
1MAC & delivery within
10 min. of induction
Inhalational Agents
Intravenous Agents:
Thipental, ketamine &
propofol
Cross placenta
freely
Limited fetal effects in
usual induction doses
(drug distribution,
metabolism & placental
uptake)
Opioids
Cross placenta freely
Morhine
Most significant respiratory depressant effects
Meperidine
Significant respiratory depression peaking 1- 3
h after administration.
Fentanyl
Minimal effect if < 1µg/Kg.
Muscle Relaxants
The highly ionized
property impedes
placental transfer.
Variable effects.
Minimal effects on
fetus.
25
Local anesthetics → Placental transfer depends on:
1: pKa.
2: Maternal & fetal pH : Fetal acidosis → higher fetal to
maternal
drug ratios . Binding of hydrogen ions to the nonionized form →
trapping
of
local anesthetic in fetal circulation
3: Degree of protein binding : highly protein bound agents
Chloroprocaine has the least placental transfer as it is rapidly

in the maternal circulation.
26
Most of anesthetic agents show significant
placental transfer
Fetal effects of drugs administered to parturient depend on:
1: Maturity of fetal organs, substantial fetal hepatic
uptake of many drugs.
2: Dilution of the umbilical venous blood by venous blood
from lower half of fetal body → modify fetal
drug distribution.
