The Influence of Anesthesia on the Acid-Base Values of Mother and Child
Chapter
Abstract
The knowledge of the anaesthetist can support the team in the delivery-room. Not only in cases when the mother needs some kind of anaesthesia, but also with his knowledge of resuscitation. In several cases of birth-asphyxia we were asked to help and so we became interested in the possibilities of the prevention of conditions which make resuscitation necessary. An analysis of the acid-base balance can give us a good evaluation of the existence of asphyxia. So we asked ourselves is there an influence of the mother in the acid-base balance of the foetus, and secondly, what is the influence of anaesthesia in the acid-base values of that foetus.
