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

The need for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy is relatively frequent and can occur at any time during pregnancy. In this chapter, we will develop the anesthetic implications of changes in maternal physiology, and the repercussions of anesthesia on the fetus, and we will delve into the peculiarities of anesthetic management of these patients. Urgent/emergent procedures should not be postponed in these patients due to their pregnancy conditions. However, elective surgeries should be delayed whenever possible, taking into account the maternal-fetal risk-benefit.
