Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is a safe and effective option for caesarean sections (SC), with most mothers preferring it for future procedures. Careful blood pressure monitoring is essential during SA for SC.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Obstetrics

Context:

  • Caesarean section (SC) is a common surgical procedure.
  • Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is an alternative to general anaesthesia (GA) for SC.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of spinal anaesthesia (SA) for caesarean sections (SC).
  • To assess patient satisfaction and outcomes following SA for SC.

Summary:

  • 47 out of 127 women received SA for SC over 12 months.
  • 45 patients reported sufficient analgesia with SA; 3 required GA.
  • Hypotension occurred in 45% of SA cases, managed with ephedrine; no postdural puncture headaches were observed.
  • 38 of 40 surveyed women preferred SA for future SCs, including 6/8 with prior epidural experience.

Impact:

  • SA is a safe, reliable, and preferred method for SC.
  • Maintaining systolic blood pressure near pre-analgesic levels is crucial during SA for SC.
  • Further research may explore optimal adjuncts for SA in SC to minimize hypotension and enhance maternal comfort.
