Incidence of general anaesthesia for caesarean section in parturients from different geographic regions

The use of pain relief during labor among migrant obstetric populations

“…Lower intrapartum analgesia use is associated with greater pain and more frequent post‐natal psychological and psychiatric problems including post‐traumatic stress disorder and fear of future labor. Low use of intrapartum neuraxial analgesia is also associated with greater use of general anesthesia during emergency cesarean deliveries, which increases maternal risks of anesthetic morbidity and mortality [6]. The present study was designed to examine patterns of analgesia use at a large university teaching hospital providing obstetric care for a large migrant population.…”

Lumbar tinea versicolor and spinal anaesthesia

“…It has been reported that more than 90 percent of the anaesthetist all over the world choose this technique for caesarean section. Royal College of Anaesthesia (UK) set a target of less than 5% of general anaesthesia for elective caeserian section as a best practice [2]. General anaesthesia during obstetric surgery is associated with a significant risk not only to the mothers, for example difficult airway, failed intubation, pulmonary aspiration, airway trauma, as well as to the babies, for instance neonatal depression due to decreased uterine blood flow.…”
