Other pulmonary complications of anaesthesia during labour and delivery - what does this mean

Anaesthesia during labour and delivery can cause pulmonary complications due to the effects of the drugs on the respiratory system. this can include airway obstruction, decreased respiratory drive, bronchospasm, and atelectasis. in addition, aspiration of gastric contents during anaesthesia can lead to aspiration pneumonitis, and the use of neuromuscular blocking agents can lead to respiratory muscle paralysis.

What happens during the disease - other pulmonary complications of anaesthesia during labour and delivery

The pathogenesis of other pulmonary complications of anaesthesia during labour and delivery is multi-factorial and complex. it is thought to be the result of a combination of factors such as the type and duration of anaesthesia used, the patient's underlying medical conditions, and the presence of any underlying respiratory conditions. in addition, aspiration of gastric contents and the presence of infectious agents can also play a role in the development of pulmonary complications.
