Abstract
Anesthetic management of the pregnant patient undergoing non-obstetric surgery requires careful consideration of both maternal and fetal well-being. Key factors include appropriate drug selection to minimize fetal exposure, maintenance of uteroplacental perfusion, and management of physiological changes associated with pregnancy, such as altered respiratory function and increased blood volume. Regional anesthesia is often preferred to reduce the risks of general anesthesia, although considerations such as positioning, airway management, and monitoring are crucial. Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to optimize outcomes, ensuring that both maternal health and fetal safety are prioritized throughout the perioperative period.
