Immediately clean and dress the wound on both the entering and exiting wounds. Next, feel the place where the patient states it is numb and ask how it feels.

General anesthesia is not used frequently in obstetrics because of the risks involved. There are physiologic changes that occur
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

b) Fetal hypersensitivity to anesthetic

Explanation:

In general, any type of anesthesia does not present major problems, ie the risks of anesthesia in pregnancy are low, but it depends on a number of factors, ie they exist.

The fetus may have some sensitivity to the anesthetic drug and this may increase the risk of malformation of the baby, for example. The greatest risks are those of spontaneous abortion and premature birth. The likelihood of an abortion when a woman takes anesthesia is about 6%, up to 11% if given in the first trimester of pregnancy. The other concern, premature birth, must also be great, since there is an 8% chance of this happening when a pregnant woman is subjected to anesthesia.

But then how to deal with this kind of problem since anesthesia can do harm to the baby? As we said earlier, everything will depend on a number of factors. Of course, if you can avoid and only take anesthesia after pregnancy, this is most recommended.
