O89.1: Cardiac complications of anaesthesia during the puerperium
After being anesthetized during your puerperium, you have developed heart problems.
The puerperium is the first 6 to 8 weeks after childbirth. An anesthetic involves being given certain drugs. The aim is to suppress feelings of pain for a certain time. A local anesthetic only suppresses the pain in one particular part of the body. A general anesthetic involves being given additional medication to put you to sleep.
The heart pumps blood through the body. In the process, the blood flows through blood vessels. The blood supplies all areas of the body with oxygen and nutrients. When someone has heart problems, their heart may no longer be able to pump enough blood through the body. The heart may also stop beating.
