“…General anaesthesia typically utilises intravenous induction and volatile maintenance, but the use of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) has rapidly increased over the past decade in the United Kingdom (from 8% to 26% of all GAs) [ 3 ]. The extent to which this translates to obstetric practice is unclear: case reports and single‐centre case series describing TIVA for obstetric anaesthesia have been published [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], but no systemwide evaluation has been conducted, and the impact of TIVA on maternal and neonatal outcomes remains unknown [ 15 ]. We designed a multicentre service evaluation to describe the incidence and practice of TIVA for obstetric surgery and immediate maternal and neonatal recovery outcomes, in participating centres in the United Kingdom.…”
