Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in der Anästhesiologie
Abstract
Gender specific differences are a current and increasingly discussed topic. Cardiovascular conditions in women are often diagnosed later and with more advanced severity. Similarly, women are frequently underrepresented in studies investigating the effects of anesthetics on the central nervous system. In the field of anesthesiology, scientific interest in this topic has grown rapidly. Gender specific differences arise from anatomical, physiological, and psychosocial factors, all of which can significantly influence the perioperative and postoperative management. This highlights the importance of awareness and appropriately addressing these differences. The aim of this review article is to summarize the most relevant sex-specific differences in the field of anesthesiology.
