O20-O29: Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy
O29: Complications of anaesthesia during pregnancy
The group of conditions classified under Complications of anaesthesia during pregnancy involve issues that arise from the administration of anaesthesia (pain relief) during pregnancy. This includes not just the time of labour and delivery but also any point during the pregnancy if a surgery or procedure that requires anaesthesia is carried out. These complications can be caused by various factors, including the type of anaesthesia used, the overall health of the patient and the specific pregnancy-related changes that can influence how a woman's body reacts to anaesthesia. Potential complications can involve difficulty in administering the anesthesia, reactions to the drugs used, and effects on the circulatory or respiratory systems. It's important to note that these complications might pose risks to both the mother and the fetus, and can affect the progression and outcomes of the pregnancy. Since issues from anaesthesia are unpredictable, careful monitoring of the pregnant woman and fetus during procedures requiring anaesthesia is crucial.
