Toxic reaction to local anaesthesia during the puerperium - what does this mean
Toxic reaction to local anaesthesia during the puerperium occurs when a woman experiences an adverse reaction to the local anaesthetic used during childbirth. this reaction can be caused by an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic or an overdose of the anaesthetic, resulting in a range of symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, and increased heart rate. if left untreated, the reaction can lead to more serious complications such as seizures, coma, and even death.
What happens during the disease - toxic reaction to local anaesthesia during the puerperium
Toxic reaction to local anaesthesia during the puerperium is likely caused by an exaggerated immune response to the anaesthetic agent that is used. this response is likely due to a combination of factors, including the mother's pre-existing immunological status, her age, and the amount of anaesthetic agent used. when the immune system is triggered, it produces an inflammatory response which can cause a range of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. in some cases, the reaction can be severe and can lead to anaphylaxis.
