Intravenous anesthesia is a type of anesthesia that will cause hypnosis in a pregnant woman, which would mean that the pregnant woman is asleep during the operation. Intravenous anesthetics are most commonly used during induction of anesthesia, and since they have no analgesic effect they must be combined with other opioid analgesics. The pregnant woman will be subjected to general anesthesia when it comes to emergency surgery, apropos when there is no time to place regional anesthesia. It is important to know that all medications pass through the placenta and can lead to a negative impact on the fetus. Also, before the introduction of anesthesia, good preoxygenation of the pregnant woman for 3-5 minutes is important, and the greatest attention should be paid to hypoxia and hypocapnia of the mother, which affect the supply of oxygen to the fetus. Like other drugs, intravenous anesthetics carry possible complications that may be associated with bleeding, amniotic fluid embolism, and bladder injuries. Special side effects can include swallowing problems, hoarseness, tooth damage, and can rarely lead to breathing failure, heart failure, blood circulation failure or malignant hyperthermia. Although an ideal intravenous anesthetic does not exist, each of the available intravenous anesthetics has characteristics that may be useful in specific situations.
