Gastrointestinal Changes-I
• Reflux secondary to– Displacement of pylorus by gravid uterus– Incompetence of physiologic sphincter
• Decreases in motility by progesterone• Low pH caused by gastrin secreted by
placenta

Gastrointestinal Changes-II
Regardless of the time interval since foodingestion, parturients must be treated as a “fullstomach”. Pain, anxiety, and opioids can alldecrease gastric emptying.

Hepatic Changes
• Pseudocholinesterase decreased by25% (unlikely to decrease effects ofsuccinylcholine)
• Coagulation factors are increased

Nervous System Changes
• Decreased anesthetic requirements– Decreased MAC produced by sedative effects
of increased progesterone– Decreased local anesthetic requirements
produced by• Epidural vein engorgement from uterine
enlargement resulting in decreased epiduralspace and compression of subarachnoid space
• Increased progesterone

Pain Pathways of Labor
1st Stage: visceral pain from uterine contractions and cervical dilation.Afferent impulses are transmitted by nerves that accompany nerve fibersthat enter the spinal cord at T10-L1.2nd Stage: somatic pain is vaginal and perineal. These impulses travelvia the pudendal nerves to S2-4.

Progress of Labor
![Page 18: Anesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & · PDF fileAnesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & Delivery Department of Anesthesiology University of Colorado Denver Health ... UCHSCLD.ppt Author:](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a85b3c77f8b9afc5d8c9098/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Goals of Labor Analgesia
• Provide adequate analgesia with minimalmotor block
• Administer low concentrations of localanesthetics
• Opioids reduce local anestheticconcentrations
• Increased local anesthetic concentrationsmay increase risk for instrumental/operativedelivery

Neuraxial Labor Techniques
• Epidural Analgesia• Single-Injection Opioids• Combined Spinal-Epidural
Analgesia
![Page 20: Anesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & · PDF fileAnesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & Delivery Department of Anesthesiology University of Colorado Denver Health ...

Epidural Analgesia for Labor• Excellent pain relief & maternal satisfaction• Easily converts to surgical anesthetic, even in
emergent/urgent situation.• Avoids use of general anesthesia in most cases• Negative effects on risk for cesarean delivery have
been refuted• Maternal request is sufficient for placement
provided there are no contraindications
![Page 21: Anesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & · PDF fileAnesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & Delivery Department of Anesthesiology University of Colorado Denver Health ... UCHSCLD.ppt Author:](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a85b3c77f8b9afc5d8c9098/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Single Injection Spinal Opioids• Provides rapid onset of analgesia.• Minimal motor block, even with
addition of local anesthetic.• May be useful in select patients
(multiparas) or small communitypractices without in-house anesthesiacoverage.

Single Injection Spinal Opioids• Not useful for urgent or emergent C/S• Limited duration• Respiratory depression, especially
after parenteral opioids• Reports of fetal bradycardia• Reports of uterine hypertonus

Local AnestheticConcentrations
Concentration of <.125% bupivacaine +/- opioids reduce riskof motor block in laboring patients.

Combined Spinal Epidural
• Analgesia during prolonged labor.• Converts easily for operative
delivery.• Useful during latent phase of labor.

Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
• Regional anesthesia is preferred:– There is increased maternal mortality
associated with general anesthesia– Less neonatal exposure to depressant drugs– Decreased risk of maternal aspiration– An awake mother– Use of spinal or epidural opioids for post-op
pain control
![Page 29: Anesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & · PDF fileAnesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & Delivery Department of Anesthesiology University of Colorado Denver Health ... UCHSCLD.ppt Author:](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a85b3c77f8b9afc5d8c9098/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
• Cesarean delivery requires a T4 sensory level• Spinal anesthesia provides rapid onset of a
reliable block• Epidural anesthesia is preferred when a labor
epidural is in place• Combined spinal epidural anesthesia is used
for repeat cesarean deliveries or when thecase is expected to be prolonged
![Page 30: Anesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & · PDF fileAnesthesia & Analgesia for Labor & Delivery Department of Anesthesiology University of Colorado Denver Health ... UCHSCLD.ppt Author:](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a85b3c77f8b9afc5d8c9098/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
However, general anesthesiaoffers…• Very rapid, reliable onset• Control of airway and ventilation• Potentially less hypotension than
neuraxial anesthesia• Anesthesia in the event of obstetric/
hemorrhagic emergencies (e.g. fetalbradycardia, uterine rupture)
