Clinical and surgical considerations in pregnant women: Multidisciplinary approach to obstetric complications
Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the physiological adaptations and obstetric complications associated with pregnancy, emphasizing their clinical and practical relevance. Throughout the gestational period, the female body undergoes significant changes in various systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and hematological, all aimed at supporting fetal development and ensuring maternal well-being. These adaptations include an increase in blood volume and a condition of hypervolemia, as well as changes in heart rate and lung ventilation, along with a reduction in gastrointestinal motility. The clinical implications of these adaptations are thoroughly discussed, highlighting the importance of employing advanced imaging techniques for fetal diagnosis and monitoring, while also addressing common obstetric complications such as appendicitis and postpartum hemorrhage. In conclusion, a profound understanding of these physiological changes is crucial to ensure a healthy and safe pregnancy, guiding healthcare professionals in the provision of high-quality obstetric care and the minimization of potential complications.
