Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Acid aspiration syndrome is a rare but serious complication during cesarean section anesthesia.
  • Existing preventive measures lack robust evidence, yet various regimens are employed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the most effective prophylactic measure against acid aspiration syndrome in cesarean sections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on acid aspiration syndrome prevention in obstetric anesthesia.
  • Analysis of anesthesia-related mortality data in cesarean sections.

Main Results:

  • Acid aspiration syndrome is a significant factor in anesthesia-related deaths during cesarean delivery.
  • General anesthesia is the primary setting for obstetric acid aspiration syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Regional anesthesia techniques should be prioritized for cesarean sections whenever possible.
  • Prioritizing regional anesthesia may be the most effective strategy to prevent acid aspiration syndrome in obstetric patients.
