Anesthetic management of preeclampsia

Managing anesthesia in preeclampsia involves carefully monitoring the mother’s blood pressure, organ function, and overall health to ensure safety during delivery. Anesthesiologists may choose regional anesthesia, like an epidural, which numbs the lower body and generally reduces risks compared to general anesthesia. They prepare to control blood pressure, address bleeding risks, and manage potential seizures. The goal is to deliver the baby safely while minimizing stress on the mother’s body. Close coordination among healthcare providers ensures optimal care tailored to the severity of preeclampsia and the mother’s specific needs.
