Changes
in blood pressure during epidural anesthesia
|
|
The nurse
and the anesthesiologist will monitor your blood
pressure all through epidural anesthesia. Occasionally,
the blood pressure can decrease during epidural
anesthesia. The anesthesiologist will correct the
decreases expeditiously with I.V medications to
normalize the blood pressure. This transient decreases
in blood pressure should pose no problem for the baby as
baby is under constant surveillance via fetal heart rate
monitor.
