| dc.description.abstract | With the development of atraumatic spinal needles and the associated reduction in the incidence of post-spinal headache, spinal anaesthesia has become the favoured method of anaesthesia for caesarean section. In the UK in 2002, regional anaesthesia was employed for 95% of elective caesarean sections. Spinal anaesthesia was employed in 87% of these cases. Not only does this method avoid the problem of failed intubation, which occurs 8 times more frequently in the obstetric than the general surgical population, but other benefits include a lower morbidity, less blood loss and earlier bonding between mother and baby. | |
