[Anesthesiologic protection of the mother and fetus during abdominal delivery]
Central hemodynamics at different stages of anesthesia, changes in hexenal concentration in the mother's body, adequacy of anesthesia and hexenal effect on the condition of the fetus and newborn have been studied in 40 pregnant women without any accompanying extragenital pathology subject to planned cesarean section performed under combined general anesthesia. Normodynamic type of circulation has been established. The analysis of blood catecholamine changes confirmed the adequacy of the anesthesia. The studies of hexenal concentration have demonstrated the absence of negative effect on the newborn delivered by cesarean section.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...
Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
