Other complications of spinal and epidural anaesthesia during pregnancy - what does this mean
Spinal and epidural anaesthesia during pregnancy can cause other complications such as hypotension, nerve damage, infection, bleeding, and headache. these complications can be caused by an incorrect injection technique or the use of an unsuitable anaesthetic. in addition, the anaesthetic can cause an adverse reaction in the mother or baby, leading to further complications.
What happens during the disease - other complications of spinal and epidural anaesthesia during pregnancy
The pathogenesis of complications from spinal and epidural anaesthesia during pregnancy is multi-factorial. the physical act of inserting the anaesthesia needle into the epidural or subarachnoid space can cause trauma to the spinal cord, leading to nerve damage or bleeding. additionally, the drugs used for anaesthesia can cause maternal hypotension, which can reduce blood flow to the fetus, increasing the risk of fetal distress. finally, the increased pressure on the uterus caused by the anaesthesia can lead to decreased uteroplacental perfusion, further compromising fetal health.
