Pregnancy Testing Although modern anesthetics are safe during pregnancy, testing is done so that the options can be explained to the woman prior to surgery. A urine sample is collected from all females presenting to APASS if they have begun menses. Alternatively, a serum sample can be tested. Discussion with the anesthesiologist can help determine the course of action for the woman currently menstruating, or who has secondary amennorhea. |
