Anesthesia for Fetal Surgery/Interventions

Anesthesia for fetal surgery involves carefully managing pain and sedation for the mother while ensuring the safety of the unborn baby. During specific procedures that treat conditions affecting the fetus, local or regional anesthesia may be used to minimize discomfort for the mother without affecting the fetus. In some cases, general anesthesia may be necessary. The goal is to provide effective pain relief for the mother while monitoring and protecting the baby's well-being, allowing doctors to perform critical interventions during pregnancy. This specialized approach is vital for addressing fetal health issues effectively and safely.
