Take home message:
- Pregnant women are ten times more likely to have difficult intubation - one attempt with OTi, then LM; Sellick is being overcome
- Neuraxial anesthesia is the method of choice for CD, better for mother and fetus; size matters = 27G! and 80x109 platelets are enough...
- Ephedrine and phenylephrine, you must have both
- ERAS is a part of modern obstetrics
Emergency vs. emergency!
- fetal bradycardia
- umbilical cord prolapse
- massive bleeding
- uterine rupture
- eclampsia
GENERAL ANESTHESIA is indicated for caesarean delivery only if
REGIONAL ANESTHESIA IS CONTRAINDICATED.
