Description:	The intersection of obstetric physiology with non-obstetric surgery presents a high-stakes challenge for anaesthetists. While elective surgery is best delayed until after delivery, urgent and emergent surgical procedures in pregnancy are not uncommon and often proceed in the context of limited institutional guidance. This article provides a comprehensive review and practical framework for anaesthetising pregnant patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery, with trimester-specific considerations and up-to-date evidence on anaesthetic techniques, drug safety, monitoring strategies, and multidisciplinary planning.
