Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Anesthesia during pregnancy is challenging due to the extreme physiological and anatomical changes that occur. Deep knowledge of these changes and how they influence anesthesia is critical in order to offer safe anesthetic care to both, mother and the child. In this chapter, we will review the main features that occur in the respiratory, cardiovascular, central nervous, renal, and gastrointestinal systems, among others, and how it affects pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, airway management and conduct of anesthesia. Fetomaternal circulation and fetal physiology focused on anesthesia will also be discussed.
