• Measurement of
stress hormones:
– Cortisol.
– β – endorphin.
– Noradrenaline.
• Regional fetal blood
flow.

pain.

Indications to treat fetal pain.• Direct surgical trauma of the fetus.
• Late termination of pregnancy (> 20 weeks ???): analgesia +
fetocide.
• Endoscopic, intrauterine surgery on placenta, cord and
membranes.
– To avoid fetal movements:
• To improve surgical exposure.
• To avoid fetal pain.
• Painful, non-lethal conditions ???
• Vaginal delivery – instrumental vaginal delivery ????

CONCLUSIONS
• Fetal surgery is a clinical reality and no longer an
experimental procedure.
• Many challenges to the anaesthetist.
