A2 - Chaudhuri, Kallol PY - 2015 T2 - Obstetric Anesthesia AB - The incidence of surgery during pregnancy is between 0.3% and 2.0%.1,2 There are approximately 4,000,000 deliveries per year in the United States; this translates to approximately 80,000 anesthetics per year administered to pregnant women for intercurrent surgical procedures. In actuality, this may be an underestimate due to surgery performed prior to clinical recognition of the pregnancy. Surgery may be required at any time during pregnancy, and appendectomy is the most frequently performed nonobstetric operation.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/20 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1108523119 ER -
