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.
