- Title
Obstetric and foetal physiology - implications for clinical practice in obstetric analgesia and anaesthesia.
- Authors
Yoo Kuen Chan; Chue Wai Yim, Carolyn
- Abstract
Physiological changes in the parturient occur due to the needs of the developing foetus. Understanding these changes is important when administering anaesthesia to the obstetric patient. Additionally, understanding the physiological effects in the foetus allows for appropriate intrauterine monitoring and expedient delivery if there are signs of foetal hypoxia.
