Abstract
Anesthesiologists often contribute to the care of obstetric patients at high risk. The anesthetic care of parturients at high risk in the peripartum period has been discussed elsewhere. This chapter reviews anesthetic issues involved in caring for women at high risk with diseases or conditions unrelated to their pregnancy that complicate their obstetric or their obstetric anesthesia care. Often, these women have special anesthetic considerations. Appropriate anesthetic management can assist in the obstetric management of these women. Antepartum consultation between the obstetrician, anesthesiologist, and specialist managing the pregnant woman's chronic condition will help assure the best outcome possible for both the mother and her child(ren).
