Is fetal surgery successful? How do we measure this success? What do you need to become a fetal surgeon? Is this medical intervention only practiced in the United States? What kind of fetal bodily problems would justify the application of fetal surgery? What are the risks for mothers if fetal surgery is applied? Should we be doing fetal surgery at all? How safe is this procedure? Use in-text citations in parenthesis for information if possible.

A 29-year-old female patient who is 8 months pregnant is having an emergency appendectomy. She will have to receive general anesthesia for the procedure. 1. What anatomical changes have taken place in the patient that must be taken into account for this case? 2. How might the patient's laboratory tests be changed by her being pregnant? 3. What additional emergency procedure should the CST be prepared to quickly set up and assist the surgeon? 4. What postoperative symptoms should be closely monitored that might indicate preterm labor? 5. What physiological occurrence is difficult to recognize in the pregnant patient and may result in the fetus becoming hypoxic? What device should be used both intraoperatively and postoperatively to avoid the complication?
