O89.2: Central nervous system complications of anaesthesia during the puerperium
After being anesthetized during your puerperium, you have developed problems in your brain or spinal cord.
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 brain is located inside the head. It receives, processes and stores sensory impressions. The brain controls movements and various physical functions. The spinal cord is located in the spinal column. The spinal cord is made up of nerve fibers. The brain uses the nerve fibers to exchange information with the organs, skin and muscles.
In the course of an anesthetic, it can happen that the brain fails to receive enough oxygen. If the brain does not receive enough oxygen, it can become damaged.
