Coming soonSedation in obstetrics is not a discrete medical disease, but rather a clinical procedure and state of pharmacologically induced central nervous system depression administered to pregnant or postpartum patients.
It is utilized to manage severe acute anxiety, maternal distress, agitation, and procedural discomfort during labor, surgical interventions such as cesarean delivery under neuraxial blockade, or postpartum complications.
The state is characterized by decreased cortical responsiveness, altered vigilance, and blunted autonomic stress responses, requiring close maternal and fetal monitoring to mitigate risks of hypoventilation, airway compromise, hemodynamic instability, and transplacental drug transfer that can cause fetal or neonatal depression.
